Hi everybody,
I've been reading through some posts in the Sapphire android development topics, however i can't really make my choice because there are so many roms available !
I'm looking for some stable Hero ROM to put on my Magic 32B. I'd like it to be stable and functional, I mean, with Wifi, bluetooth, accelerometer, and the whole stuff.
Moreover, can someone tell me, if i install any hero rom, will i have Flash support in the browser ?
Can someone give me some advice on which rom to choose and give me a link to an easy tutorial to install it? (i'm a newbie)
thanks!
(In b4 a mod closes the thread due to it not containing 20,000 lines of Java source code)

Forget Bluetooth. Not going to happen in any current ROM. The rest, shouldn't be a problem.

Yes. Unfortunately (I'm *not* a Flash fan!)

You could do a lot worse than the Drizzy full v3 that's doing the rounds at the moment, that's my personal favourite.
Tutorial, here.

You're welcome. And the General board next time for questions like this, please
I have bought a UMi X1 from china, am in UK and using giffgaff sim... being playing with the phone since yesterday .. managed to get the internet working by putting giffgaff APN manually, tried to install custom ROM, but all in Chinese, even after you change the language there are still things left in Chinese, so i went back and installed the original ROM phone had. changed the language... phone is quite good, i like the screen and speed is very good as well.
managed to install other apps like Google map, chrome, Skype, and some game.. all work good, but when ever i install them some Chinese permission thing comes up, which i don't understand, but i think i keep clicking green tick and it works
I managed to root it using "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460" tried super user and it works (not sure what benefit i get from rooting, sorry am a noob)
I followed instruction for custom roms from "http://www.gizchina.com/2012/10/28/download-install-umi-x1-custom-rom/", still all Chinese.
if any one have a question regarding this phone usage or any other information they required am willing to answer from my experience of this phone.
I would like to know if any one would be willing to develop a clean miui English ROM or jelly bean for this device? or any one willing to help me to develop a ROM ( would need alot of help as i don't know single thing about developing, but keen to learn).
Hi !
Sorry to not answer to your request but i have one question about this phone that i want to buy. The camera is good? In reality it's a 5MP no? Because it's hard to find review about this phone, i know that is a good phone but nothing about the camera. Sorry for my bad english and thanks
UMI X1 roms
I'm also looking for information to root . But also need a rom . Have you got Clockword mod recovery installed ? Please can some one help us to install CWM recovery to UMI X1. Can we use any other rom developed for other MTK6577 phones as this phone also has MK6577 processor.
Any one interested can look one of first article on this topic in English here . Search gizbeat custom rom in google
For a review and video of phone see following: search in google: exclusive-umi-x1-unboxing-and-hands-on

yea, i have done so much to my phone in 1 day, i used shuame tool to install custom roms but kept getting errors, so i installed it manually by going into recovery mod. i installed CWM through google play, but dont know much how to use it, by the looks of it, it not supported with this phone yet. i am on gizchina aswell and asked same question there aswell.
looks like no one is intrested....
how to get some one attention on this?
finally there's a thread about umi (youmi) x1 on xda-dev
i haven't received my phone yet, 7 days using EMS and still in BEIJING seller said because China held presidential election ? so security tighten

there's also rom link on shuame.com but i don't know wether it's also had english language or not , there's also a custom rom for x1 at lewaos.com
I have received my Umi x1,love it but having real trouble flashing the Umi rom,still cant give up.Hoping others will buy phone with more intelligence than me and post,fingers crossed.
I used this method to ROOT:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
I tried about all the ROMs from Shaume.com
Without keeping track of procedure.. did a lot of flashing and factory reset
I don't know any chinese, so i just pressed buttons with icons I thought would do the job (with the risk of doing something wrong and brick the phone)
There are a few mods wit CWM, so once that one is installed flashing is pretty straightforward.
I'm having trouble to get a GPS fix (the Netherlands).
After trying many different gps.conf files (/etc/gps.conf) and different apps (GPS Status, GPS Test, GPSFix), Manually download EPO files..
Result: 1 time GPS fix with GPS fix.. but thats it
Anyone a bit more luck with the GPS fix?
Something that might be handy:
Boot into recovery: turn off phone first -> hold volume up and then power on phone. release both when UMI logo shows.

Will get mine tomorrow, it's just cleared customs. I'll probably do a custom ROM too, but it might take time as I'm having exams till the 26th of this month.
Also, I suggest OP to change the title of this thread to '[discussion] UMI X1' or something like that. Thanks.

You can do it too, click on 'edit post' and then 'go advanced'. Or maybe a new thread can be started too.

Root is not complete, I tried this:

- root with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 DOES NOT WORK
- root with shuame WORKS
no custom rom available? sucks
However, what makes KangVIP.
sucks
+1 on sucks :/
Hope soon some good devs will make us happy. The stock UI often gets crappy and slow, needs reboot.
Hello Guys,
I'm also very dissapointed about the availability of custom roms.
I'm not a rom developer but I have some programming skills (websites etc) maybe we can do something with other members to bake or own custom ROM instead of waiting for a developer with a Mate 7.
Who like my idea? Just want to check it.

Do not question. As it is difficult to implement. Is little information on the structure. The Chinese forums can it not look at the cards. Have the contact already tried, unfortunately no answer.
Hi brothers. As you know, Samsung has announced it will not update for Galaxy K zoom. I started looking for a new custom ROM for my phone. And I found a custom ROM. Obviously I have not fully tested this custom ROM. But as I see Dolby feature is not working. suggest pro deleted in the camera options. Other features fine, rom is stable, there are plenty of good options. I've used TWRP ROM for installation. Full System format, then take before I took full backup. I'll give the bottom a link to the Custom ROM. My English so bad, I'm sorry I used google translation. I want to help the brothers. We all have a good day. Greetings from İstanbul/Turkey :angel:
Mod Edit: link removed
Note: this rom 4.4.2 not lollipop, but works fine stable and fast

I'm trying to find something better. I hope I find a smooth Rom and I would like to share with you. If I had known a little more English, I can help you more, so I apologize.
Your English is just fine serif.
I keep this device for special occasions ...would be great if you do manage more development on the k zoom, I wouldn't know where to start myself TBH
Thank you again
Thank you very much for your interest and good wishes. If other friends help us, we can accomplish a lot more. Developer brothers please help us in this regard

Well I do hope someone from the Dev world comes along and tweaks this device but since katkernel, there's been nothing till your port..
Let's hope
Nearly 12000mb's spare ram with your rom btw , amazing
I wish I could be more suitable my brother. Unfortunately I do not have enough time to do just that. Is there someone you knew to do that, or the other friends we want to help through this post
Well, I'm in the process of stripping this right back...will take some time but,gonna try ; )
Thank you for helping my brother with me. I'm going to do my best in this regard. ROM is so good but little annoying issues
A thread for this rom already exists, created by its owner...

Not sure why another thread has been created that even uses the same download link, no credit given or permission asked, and not even a link to the original thread.
This isn't how things are done on XDA.

LineageOS for BLU Pure XL (MT6795)
Discussion and Q&A Thread
This is a Project Thread for LineageOS for BLU Pure XL. Project files and releases are hosted on SourceForge's servers.
Here you can ask for help and get fresh info about development status.
This project focuses on getting working LineageOS 14.1 for our phone. This would also work for other clones like Allview X2 Soul Xtreme, Condor Allure A100 and Gionee Elife E8.

Here you will be able to review (Git integration) and download files. Also, there I will upload some screenshots. When the project reaches "Alpha" status I will create a development thread for the ROM itself in the Android Development section.
There you are also able to download the latest working TWRP 3.1.0-0 (the same is in this thread).

Yes, it's not booting, I know it. I've just uploaded it for testing purposes. When I get it booting, I will post some info.

Any chance we will have a working ROM other than OEM , cause I have the Allview model and the ROM is piece of crap , and I want to sell the phone because I have enough to try to fix all the software crap on this phone (

Hows the fight going? I'd REALLY like to see a custom ROM booting on this phone before it becomes so old it doesn't matter anymore...
Keep us informed on the progress Belmolx, we appreciate your hard work!
Hey I have a Blu Life One X2. I am a developer and have made some really good findings. I also built some tools (autoroot, toolkit, etc..).
We have an unofficial website here: http://www.blox2.com
I made my own rom, and so have a few others. We based it off the stock roms, as we cant get any other rom booting (except CM13; lots of bugs)
If possible, can you assist us? Like:
1. Did you port lineage or compile it? What guides did you follow (links please)?
2. Have you compiled the kernel? Our kernel will not boot no matter what (compiled with a ton of different toolchains too);
3. What device do you use for porting?
4. Do you have a /system RW crash (crash when mounting system as RW)?
Thanks!

hello @bemolx thanks thanks thanks sooooooo much for youur TWRP
I have the Allview X2 Soul Xtreme with LL 5.1 and i want to know if is possible to install thie lineage rom or a custom kernel.
I would like to optimize this phone can you help me?
What do you suggest me?
thaks so much
Looks promising, I'll wait ...
Thanks for the effort
@bemolx has forgotten about this device and has moved on to other devices and in the process has left all of us hanging he pays more attention on other devices just look at his profile @bemolx has made huge promises but has lied to us uploading half ass things which are buggy and literally **** he's forgotten about all of us who were looking towards him but he doesnt care I understand that he's not our slave and doesnt have to do anything but making false promises and playing with the feelings of other people is also not a good thing

I understand your disappointment.
However, it's not that simple as you may think. As a student I have to focus on school subjects and it really takes pretty much my whole free time. Also, this school year I have to defend my diploma thesis and this is my main task to focus on as for now.
You've mentioned my work on other devices too - yeah, I have couple of them to play with. But it doesn't mean I forgot about Pure XL. Other devices are just easier to deal with than this freaking Chinese clone. All of them have been maintained at the same time. Source code is always available on my GitHub profile, wanna try yourself?
If I have been paid (don't mind, just an example) $1000, I would have made a working custom ROM in a week! But I'm not and this is only my intention to do so. As for a freelancer dev it's not that important thing. I promised the custom ROM, you'll see it, in the future, not now.
Anyway, what the hell you've been expecting with MTK-based Chinese clone from the company that doesn't care about their customers and has made one, maybe two OTAs...?
You´re completely right. We thank you for your time and effort put to make this phone be more awesome. BLU is the big liar here. I don´t even use my phone as a Blu Pure XL, instead I use the X2Xtreme rom fully.
Take your time @bemolx and don´t mind what non-developers say in the forums, they´re always asking for ETAs and to make things better just for their daily use and dont know the effort put behind every custom thing made.
I really hope you succeed on your thesis (good) cheers man!

Yeah no I understand what @Superbat1680 is trying to say but at the same time I also understand what @bemolx is going this being a Final year student who also has to defend his thesis I can understand pretty much what he's going through
I'd just like to say that may you be successful in your defense and hopefully we can get a good custom rom in the near future
Good luck mate???

Well for now focus on finishing the university, we'll be rooting for you and maybe in the near future or so after you finish with all, when you have free time and the spirit to start working on a custom rom for this phone we'll see you post an update. I personally would love if you could make a version of android that is the latest like Oreo is now...until then I hope you're having a great day.

Any update on the progress of this rom?????
Hi guys,
I'm working on implementing CLT for Pure XL to get a booting GSI Treble image. I'd say it will be a semi-Treble ROM rather that pure Treble or custom ROM. I hope I will post some update soon.
Who knows, maybe even Pie will boot, who knows..
Cheers
Can't wait to test this rom on my Allview X2 Soul Xtreme and of course give you feedback.
I don't know if it's because of the stock rom or not, but the phone just freezes from time to time(making me force restart the phone), especially when it get hot. Maybe... hopefully this rom will help with that.
Besides, being unable to update from 5.1.1 makes it that some apps are incompatible which sucks.
Thank you bemolx for all the time and effort put into this rom and we all wish you the best.
