Hi
A friend bought a UMI diamond X a month ago.
From yesterday he stars to have some commercials each time that he takes his phone.
Did the put something in the stock rom that activate after a little time of use ?
Someone knows something?
thanks
I don't know if there is a delay or not before adds start but Chinese phones are known to have quite aggressive ad network even with stock apps & they have weak privacy often, so it could be a stock app. Some Chinese phones have also been shown to do silent upgrades, so you don't know when they update something (can't recall if Umi is one) which is why is may only start a month later.
However it could be due to malware/adware downloaded from a website or if he has used one of the Chinese app stores to get an app or any store that is not Google you are increasing your risks, those stores are not well regulated and many apps have had adware/malware inserted into legitimate looking apps like youtube etc. Did he recently download some apps from an app store that was NOT Google?

(also lookout for Chinese apps (or any other unusual apps) with western alphabet like Baidu, which this guy seems to ignore)

As far as I know he didn't install something for a while and on the umi diamond X there is no parallel app store.
He did a factory reset but if there are new commercial pop up i'll try your links , thank you again
Android 5.0 and above, just download, install DNS66 from Fdroid. Update all hosts file.

I have the same problem, couple days ago commercials started shows all time, i tried use DNS66 and it doesn't help.
Do anybody know how to root this phone?
I can tell that on UMI Super apart from the battery additions and MediaTek apps there is no of that, very little bloat.. alost AOSP.
This also should help you identify some MTK apps http://bitlog.it/re/dissecting-an-android-chinaphone/
Bringing this up .
I have exactly the same problem. Ad starts showing up on lock screen and every few day some fake app installs out of nowhere. What can I do?
Wrote about it here on xda
The only thing I haven't tried yet is going to stock but now I found this topic and not sure if even that would help. Did OP had any luck with this?

I saw another forum where someone says you need to freeze the "super cleaner" app (can't be uninstalled) that comes with the phone to stop this & maybe any of the DU branded apps also if they
(edit: on other phone eg Zuji they have another app "battery saver " that seems to work similarly and serve ads or/or push apps to your phone in the same way that needed to be frozen)
I am having lots of problems with my umi diamond x screen keeps jumping and goes into the black screen with all your settings on like wifi aeroplane mode screen brightness etc it locks up the phone, I am also getting lots of adds and the phone is getting hot and using up the battery too, I have taken the sim out and sd card and it still does this so the issues are not sd or sim so it must be the operating system on the phone or something, I have tried everything but cant fix can anyone help or should I just buy a new phone
you can try a factory reset or you can flash the phone with an original room or a custom room but as far as I remember there are very few custom ROMs for this phone
Dear friends,
i am struggling with a strange APP named "Chromes". It seems to be undocumented (i googled a lot).
The only thing i know is that IT INSTALLS ALONE without any visibile message. After a Factory reset i found it (AGAIN) in the phone.
I couldn't SEEK what / when / Who installs it in my phone.
It gains telephone and archive rights without any ask to me.
I also know that my doogee phone suffers of a vulnerability (never closed) by DOOGEE and i don't know if it'd be related with it.
No clue.
Does anyone have had the same experience? Does anyone have EVER seen it?
Let me know please.
Best Regards.
EDIT: ****warning: I remember to everyone that ROOTING/HACKING/INSTALLING a different ROM in your phone may void the warranty AND can potentially BRICK your phone . Do it ONLY IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING . I warned you.*****
edit 13/11/2017 *LIST OF REPORTED DEVICE AFFECTED WITH CHROMES (Malware) app *:
----------------------------------------------
Doogee Shoot 1
Gretel A9
UHANS A101
NOMU S10
Leagoo M8
leagoo M8 pro
----------------------------------------------
Report if you have it. Thank you.
i just found it on my phone too and started googling it.. and yours seem to be the only instance ive found so far.. i dont know what it does or where it comes from.. i can close it from the task manager but itll start itself again 3 processes that itself have about 2-3 services.. mostly ChromesService DaemonService and ChromesService2 the main proces seems to be signed from com.appclone.lyhj the second one doesnt have the daemonService and is signed from com.android.qnsettings and the third one had com.yunshi.market listed. again i dont know there they come from or whats their purpose.. and if they have anything to do with the ad popups i get since a few days now that dont seem to be app related since its the same popups for most apps .. apps that dont have those popups natively like whatsapp or facebook. i have since uninstalled pretty much anything and tried some antivirus but i guess its gonna be rooted and gets a custom rom. it is also a china cell called nomu s20 . after googling a bit it seems there are a lot security problems with my device.
edit: ive found something on this link i cant post because i am not a trusted user yet
also after running kaspersky antivirus it did indeed find something (as opposed to the comodo antivirus that kept silent)
it found Trojan.androidOS.Boogr.gsh as the chromesBase.apk and another one i just deleted without writing the name. it seems though this might be related to the Triada-Virus/trojan .. soo.. yeah it might be a good idea to save your stuff and not only try with a factory reset but completely reinstall the whole rom.
edit2: just deinstalling them hasnt solved anything .. the problem sits way deeper meaning it is definitely related to the triada virus. it just reinstalls the software again without anything showing.
edit3: found it.. it is indeed the triada virus on my phone ..
I have been dealing with that damned "Chromes" app for two or three weeks now (BTW, they appear two of them with the same icon and logo.)
MalwareBytes detects it as malware (Avast sometimes does, sometimes does'nt)
I have trie , for sure , uninstalling (completely unuseful) stopping all the apps I can (seems to have an effect in the reinstalling time ), and also keeping them installed but removing the Phone, Storage and SMS permissions, which, surprisingly, remain removed (until you uninstall the app)
I dealed in the past with the virus app on the Shoot 1 firmware, which turnaround solution (disabling the fake app) worked OK for me. But recently there have not been any fw update, so this time is not the firmware the responsible.
Any hint or help will be greatly appreciated.
¡Cheers!
Hi guys!
I'm having the same problem as you two. I can't believe that Doogee has screwed up on this again... (I also have the shoot 1 [nice screen ]) I'm surprised that, as you said, I've not found anything on the internet about this*. In addition, the application consumes a large amount of mobile data!
I hope there is an update soon, and that the problem is solved
Thank you all for your comments! Greetings from Spain!!
*Well, here they have the same problem
https ://android.stackexchange.com/questions/185520/how-to-get-rid-of-a-malware-app-chromes
Don't wait too much from Doogee. In fact don't wait nothing at all. They didn't solved yet the firmware virus that came with the first OTA update. We're alone...
And your GPS signal how is it going? In my case it does not get fixed to any satellite. Has someone managed to root it successfully? The truth is that I do not understand much about this, that's why I'm a bit afraid to do it.
I found this in a spanish forum, look at the last post (#19). (I think you have to translate it )
http: //ww w.htcmania. com/showthread.php?t=1291106
Summing up a bit, he says that Doogee sells mobiles with malware in the system. The fact is that they do it conscientiously. And then put a "solution", which is to install a firewall, so that you can control the internet connection of the applications.
Thanks again!
Some updates...
let me give you some updates :
1) the Shoot 1 phone is not easy to root with standard tools (kingroot & others: i tried a lot of them);
1) i successfully installed twrp with the FLASHTOOL and a specific recovery image TWRP + SU (if needed i can help about it);
2) I backupped everything (included malware of course) just to be sure i could go back in case of brick;
*** 3) I downloaded and installed the FANTASTIC lineage OS without any STUPID bloatware. ***
My phone is secure and fast NOW.
i warmly RECOMMEND all of you to root and update to lineage OS 7.1.2 (ver 14). Thankx to the lineage team! **they deserve a donation!!****
* about Shoot1 GPS *
i still didn't test it with the new LINEAGE and i will update you
Before i discovered the malware inside the GPS was not fixing correctly and in general not working like my previous LG or HTC
I was using an external BLUETOOTH antenna by using a middleware driver named Bluetooth GPS. Once you configured the driveer it works like a charm with tomtom and all GPS software ( i tested a lot). The external GPS solution lets the phone cold and free to charge during long gps travel session.
I will test anyway with the internal GPS again with the new LINEAGE ROM.
For any test or info write here and send me a PV message.
UPDATE: the lineage team is releasing the version 15 (development) with OREO. Anyway i will not install it soon. I am SOOOO SOLID now!

Unfortunately you can't get rid of it. No one knows if there is another fake app or background service that loads it again. It seems to appear (after a factory reset) some days later (i.e. just the time to download from whoknowswhere).
The fact is that I CAN'T TRUST ANYMORE the Doogee and the entire ROM so i warmly suggest you to ROOT (via TWRP + SU) , backup all, and install a LINEAGE fresh n° 14 release for shoot 1.
i did it and it worked like a charm.
Chromes
I have phone that is not rooted or changed firmware. Antivirus said that i have chomes and facebook apps that are not safe, but i do not have facebook installed. I tried factory reseting the phone twice, but it still comes back....
Have got the same "Chromes" problem on Gretel A9 mobile. Not rooted, only used Google Playstore for few apps. So frustrated and so little information on how to solve it for a non techie like me. Tried to contact Gretel who never reply. Still under an AliExpress warranty but not sure if malware stuff is covered. Needrom have the official stock rom for the A9. Do I have to root the phone to reinstall a clean stock rom? Can anyone point me to instructions on how to replace the stock rom? Thanks for any help.
I am really sorry to say that. The SUPPORT from some of these Chinese Supplier is really poor. I can't help you with your GRETEL . Please search on this XDA forum is anyone can do .
Root it and install a reliable distro. Be careful: when you root your phone you loose your WARRANTY and (sometime) some functions of your phone is not available or not available at 100%.
Custom ROMs should be considered ALWAYS as "bleeding" and "in development".
As i said i will never buy anymore low cost China phones DUE to this lack of support and this (unbelievable) disattention to release malwared firmware.

I struggled a lot to remove it with normal antivirus and antimalware.
It seems to BE NOT POSSIBLE without a rooted phone.
In my phone there were 2 problems:
1) the malware CHROMES
2) the injected system library (dunno what it does).
So , once i removed the CHROMES %$£"%$£% app....i could not know if it was related (or somehow connected) with the malware injected system library. So i couldn't trust anymore that factory o.s. and i replaced it with LINEAGE (atm something not working 100% like GPS) but at least it's clean and works.
I hope LINEAGE could support more chinaphones to get rid of the buggy malwared firmware from Doogee, Gretel and others Chinamakers
UHANS A101 affected as well!
CHROMES and
fake FACEBOOK app

Thanks for the reply.
Do warranties usually cover an infected Rom (I'd need to send it to a Poland service centre)
Is it hard to flash a new clean stock rom over an infected stock rom?

If you can't ROOT it, try to open RMA or open a ticket, try (at least). I hope we can MOUNT CASE and create a bit of hype around this CRAZY THINGS .
In my case it doesn worth. The DOOGEE has a really poor website and we yellew there a lot about this malware.
No way to return. IT doesn't worth.
However tell them and try to have it swapped.
Hey guys, I just got the apk. If a dev can make it "peaceful", I will really appreciate that. Just rename the chromes(blablabla).txt to chromes(blablabla).apk

WARNING for all the users: THIS APK IS FOR DEVELOPERS. This apk CONTAINS a malware. it's *ONLY* FOR RESEARCH purposes. so Don't try to install it!!
the really interesting THING would be to know if it RECALLS some system service or other RESIDENT modules to complete the cleaning and to allow US to use the original firmware again.
Let's see if anyone can help us.
Well... This is getting REALLY deeply...
https://www.kaspersky.com/blog/triada-trojan/11481/
i tested KAV and other antivirus and malware removal tools.
KAV was not able to remove and to detect it.
the 1st (maybe not the only one) that warned me has been DR WEB ANTIVIRUS and it (also) couldn't remove it without rooting.
It's impossibile, though, to know WHAT / WHICH process is linked in memory or injected in the original ROM since the Chinese CRAPPYPHONES are full of bloatware and "weirdware" .
The trust is ZERO for them ATM.

Very good rom with gapps and magisk.
No bug for me and good battery !
Great rom no bugs yet, first rom the gives me +4h of sot
Good rom so far. No bugs detected and no advertising on menus like on 28S or 26S. Thanks!
Google services keep crashing if u use hungarian language. U cannot even sign in to google play unless u change phone language to english.
Very good job for a French user. The translation is perfect, no bug. Thanks.
best rom so far

I agree!
For me it's the best ROM for LeEco Le S3 X626. Polish translation even in not 100%, it's better than in the stock 28S.
No bugs found after nearly one month of use, Google Apps included & working, Magisk and Xposed also here, good SOT (after battery optimization). I recommend! :good:
The Greek language is very bad is there any way to contribute myself to the translation
Best ROM for LeEco S3 x626 so far
First of all- sorry for my English, not my native language.
I've registered on XDA dev. forum only to comment about this ROM. This is my first post here. I have tried 2 or 3 other ROM's before I've flashed this one and every single one of previous roms has got some issues: etc. roms filled with chinese bloatware apps, camera has dark picture (can't correct in settings), application crushing, wifi module suddenly stopped working , battery drains faster even in stand-by and over night... and so on.
This ROM work perfectly! By my opinion this is the best ROM for LeEco S3 x626 so far (Feb 2018.)
This is the perfect combination of latest original stock firmware and customized firmware with some preinstalled applications like Gapps & Magisk and phone comes rooted by default after flashing.
No bugs yet, camera is working nice (haven't tried 4K video though), battery life is good, Infrared module is working, fingerprint reader also, GPS module is working precisely, fast charge is present in firmware settings (you can switch it ON or OFF), quick pulldown menu contain brightness slider with ON/OFF module switch ribbon (original factory firmware doesn't contains this feature). And the greatest thing above all (at least for me who fought with chinese pop-up advertisements and bloatware for about two weeks - there is no chinese advertisements and applications, no unnecessary chinese software too.
If I found any bug - I'll post info about that here in this thread. So far - none. Highly recommended ROM for LeEco S3 x626.
Question for @sootec : You have mentioned "battery optimization" in your post. Have you thought about "Battery assistant" option in battery settings menu or some application specialized for that task? And if it is an application - what is that app name?
there's a thing about EUI I don't like is how it won't let apps run normally on background, and I lose important message notifications. this is rom is stock-based, right? is it that aggressive too?
A wonderful ROM with long battery life
There are no bugs currently on my phone
The only disappointing thing is that pre-installed Magisk can not pass SaftyNet check
Both ctsProfile and basicIntegrity get 'false'
Is this me alone?
If anyone has a solution please let me know

I thought about battery assistant options in battery settings, not another app.
I want this ROM but, someone know if I can un root this for use snapchat and some other apps who dont run with the device rooted?
So where is the author's topic with describes of rom in english, becouse on his website is spanish version

Not sure, but after my phones been flashed it is now only showing 3G where it should be 4G.

Hi
my daughter have this rom on her X626. ROM work absolutely perfect except 1 thing.
Notifications not working. For any app and for SMS. She have to open app and then she can see messages she get. In SMS app too. That is not acceptable to us and how to resolve that?
First few days all worked like a charm but after 4-5 days notifications stop coming.
Any help will be fine, because we love this rom a lot. The best for this phone I have ever tried.
Thanks to developer for this work :good:
Problem solved
daughter said that she did not touch any settings option...but...she is, of course...and turned off notifications for all apps turned it on and all work perfect again!
The very best rom for this device.
Congratulation to dev :good::good:
Hello all,
my first time posting on XDA, apologies in advance in case the thread isn't in the right location... I did have a search for this issue without much luck, it was never my exact issue or it there was no real answers.
Please go easy on me
So, I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1 / GT-P5110) which I'm using again after installing Lineage OS 13 custom rom to give it some new life. My issue is mainly with Netflix. The device is not rooted and I can find the Netflix app in Google Playstore. I am able to install it and it opens and runs ok as far as the menus and such are concerned. The problem is with video playback - It plays a video for some time (random) but finally it stops, and fades back to black, back out to the home menu. I did see sometimes an error message like 5.2, 5.8 or 5.10 ( and I followed advice for these from online, didn't help) but mostly it just fades to home menu like I described, with no error message.
I have been looking around for a solution to this problem but can't find one that works.
I have tried to install Magisk and Magisk Manager and then hide magisk, and it passed Safety Net, but the video problem still continues in Netflix.
Also, I've tried various other ROMs like Cyanogen Mod 11, Omni Rom, and SlimRom etc but all give the same issue
I realise this is an old device now but it's been well covered in terms of custom ROMs, even up to now.
I find it difficult to understand that there such a high-profile, very popular app like Netflix is giving this probem. There must be a solution, hopefully I just missed something.
Can you please help? Would appreciate any tips or advice!
Cheers
p.s. if @Android-Andi could take a look at my question and offer any advice, that would be great!
@Android-Andi maybe you might have some ideas about this? I'm hoping
Hello,
Not sure if it's the right place, but I'm getting depressed with my Xiaomi 12 behaviour. Since last update, MIUI global 13.2.4, the phone keeps killing apps, even if I set those with :
- not battery restriction
- auto startup
I tried a factory reset, I unlocked it, rooted it. It keeps killing apps. It's annoying, because I use Vivid and removed the navigation buttons. I let you imagine how I can be stuck sometimes when Vivid is killed. Yet, Vivid is locked... So MIUI regurlaty kills it, and sometimes, it even loses the accessibility autorisation.
How can I know what's killing it ? Obviousily, I'm not in Eco mode, and this behaviour also occurs in performance mode. Everything worked very fine until last update.

Maybe a bug in the rom which is a stable beta.
The ROM is official, it's been deployed in France last week.

You are not the only one to have had problems following updates, the solution if it worked before, is to flash the previous rom or to use a Xiaomi EU rom.
Sometimes Xiaomi renames a Stable Beta to stable without fixing anything.

Previous ROM is in Android 12. Downgrading won't be a problem ? Keeps root ? EU Roms seem far behind.

Downgrading requires a clean flash and the root is lost along with your data.
Use this tool:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/
And disable the update.
EDIT:
I use a Xiaomi EU rom on my 12 pro and I have several apps that must remain in the background, works very well.
With a Xiaomi EU rom you will have the certified play store without root and lots of extra options.
This is happening to me also and many other people. Fun times waking up to find that your alarm clock hasn't gone off because it was killed in the background.
There doesn't seem to be a workaround yet. There's several posts on the mi.com forums regarding it:
Xiaomi Community
new.c.mi.com
People there have discussed making a bug report via the feedback app (Settings->"Services & Feedback") might garner some support for Xiaomi to fix the issue... one can only hope.
All I can say is if you're thing of updating to V13.2.4.0.TLCEUXM OTA then DONT! Teach me to apply an update without checking on it first.

Go to this site if you need anything, the updates with beta roms on the stable channel do not date from today, many threads on this subject have been created without change since today the problem persists.
Reporting bugs via Services & Feedback hasn't changed anything either.
Note that since the redesign of their site, important threads have disappeared and even some devices.
As a reminder, it is the moderators of this site who report information, well that's just theory because in practice, nothing happens.
If you want answers from Xiaomi, tell them you want to buy a new phone because that's what they're interested in, selling.
I tell you this because at a certain time, I was active on this site, but some of my posts were deleted because I explained how to solve or work around the problem.
Sometimes by checking the hash of a beta rom and the following stable, it was the same.
The solution is to unlock the bootloader and downgrade or install a Xiaomi EU rom.

This is happening to me also and many other people. Fun times waking up to find that your alarm clock hasn't gone off because it was killed in the background.
There doesn't seem to be a workaround yet. There's several posts on the mi.com forums regarding it:
Xiaomi Community
new.c.mi.com
People there have discussed making a bug report via the feedback app (Settings->"Services & Feedback") might garner some support for Xiaomi to fix the issue... one can only hope.
All I can say is if you're thing of updating to V13.2.4.0.TLCEUXM OTA then DONT! Teach me to apply an update without checking on it first.

I'm kind of relieved that's I'm not the only one with this issue. For sure I dont take a xiaomi anymore. I had doubt about MIUI, and gesture unavailable with 3rd party launcher + this killing app bug, makes me regret not have taken a Samsung S22.
" I had doubt about MIUI, and gesture una aimable with 3rd party launcher"
Xiaomi blocks this function with third-party apps (not new).

Not new, but it's a detail you have trouble knowing before buying. With Vivid Gesture, I was plainly satisfied, but this new bug is really frustrating.
Regarding "Xiaomi EU rom", how well tested is it? Do they have an issue tracker and a list of known bugs?
I've rooted and flashed community ROMs in the past only to find out they are poorly tested / have horrible QA and although superficially they work fine other aspects didn't like Bluetooth, Android Auto or certain camera modes etc.
It has been a while though since I last attempted one, maybe things have moved on since then?
Xiaomi has removed so much of the Google framework that even push notifications isn't working. Take note that the Global ROM is based on the CN variant which is known for aggressive background killing of apps.
In Xiaomi's defense, they are "freeing up" up to 800mb of your internal storage by removing most of Google's API but in the expense of all the issues encountered by Global ROM users.
So if anyone is interested, I'm trying to see if disabling com.miui.powerkeeper works round this issue of background apps being killed in V13.2.4.0.TLCEUXM .
I followed this tutorial:
How to disable any pre-installed system app bloatware on Android without root
If you hate the bloatware or pre-installed apps on your Android smartphone, here's how to disable them even if Android doesn't normally let you.
www.xda-developers.com
Will report back if I notice any improvement.
Maybe someone more knowledgable might be able to tell me if there are any downside to disabling this package?
I am suffering the exact same problem with my device since the 13.2.4 update, what i nightmare to use the device since then ! As the other users already reported, it s even killing the alarm app which prevents it to ring ! But it also impacts all app notifications, like whatsapp, outlook, etc. After being killed I don't get the new notifications for those.
I can't believe that they are pushing such an update globally, they are gonna lose a lot of customers which such a poor strategy, as this is not just a "little" bug.
I am interested in the Xiaomi.EU rom, looks like they released one 2 days ago with version number 13.2.6, but I have to investigate if we can install that over our official version on an original EU device, and if it requires a full data wipe or not.

Welcome to XIAOMI.
You can check below the version of the rom proposed for the update, before performing it.
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/cupid/
EDIT:
You can either update the rom with the update.bat file included in the Fastboot.zip folder but since it is an A13 version, it is preferable to format the data with the first install.bat file .
Obviously the bootloader must be unlocked.
Also remove the security from the lock screen and restart the system.
Hello. I have exactly the same problem. I just bought the phone, after a week I got that update and it made me completely regret that I bought it. Is there any "clean" way to return to the version of MIUI I bought the phone with?
Would a reset return me to the old version? Since i got almost nothing important in the phone, it wouldnt be a big deal.
