It is only my opinion. Dont blame me.

You wont be away from google with this rom.

You will be away from only google apps.

Because dont forget the operating system is developing by Google. All of codes are written by Google.

Developers modifying the Google's codes and making their own roms.

And

I think changing system apks isnt developer thing.

Or adding some apks on rom is not nececery. Some users use this app, some users not.

The hole rome should be slim i think.

I dont know this rom has its own features. But it says based on omnirom.

If this rom is only a version of chnged apks from omnirom, it is aimless i think.

Because, Omnirom is a custom rom. And you will have superuser with it. You can remove system apps from it and you can install what you prefer.

But

If there is some code or kernel modification with apk changes, this rom can be a alternative.

One more thing

you dont have to flash gapps on omnirom.

Have a nice day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] treffer:
The intention is not to avoid google code, it's about avoiding closed source, proprietary code. You can use linux without using the Red Hat distribution. You can't use it without their code.

There are no "own" features because everything is open source, you can't keep a feature for your own and be open source. That said

Build system is modified to allow pulling/installing presigned f-droid apk and polluting /data

firefox distribution files are included, making FF use DuckDuckGo.per default (via a custom plugin). It also installs https everywhere and adblock edge per default

F-Droid now works as priv-app, can be build as part of a rom and will skip the "Enable unknown sources" screen. Patches are merged upstream by now

K-9 is shipped with several patches (build as part of a ROM was broken, openkeychain integration is a fork, ...) (now upstream, will rebase on that)

A custom LocationProvider was written for UnifiedNlp (see microg for details)

A mapsv1 compatibility library is included (minimal patch for building)

Superuser is integrated as it's required by several apps (ntpsync & openvpn especially)

I'm currently working on Conversations (GPG/OTR XMPP chat application with a UI that is close to Hangouts) and a contact merging tool (I've 400+ contacts on this ROM, with many duplicates).

There is a set of features you'd expect from a ROM. This set is basically defined by AOSP + Gapps. The problem is that Gapps includes frameworks and apps. Frameworks should be part of a ROM, the apps are installed to /data so that they can be removed (you can pull the changes if you like that idea - i think it's still a bit flawed, and I'll most likely rework that later on). This means the core is slim and you can customize it as you like.

Taking omni and pushing all that stuff (including modifications) to make it work as a gapps free rom takes quite some time. In the end, every ROM could be installed by replacing files with superuser. That's not why you build a ROM.

I hope this clarifies what it is, and where the code and work is happening. I guess it would be nice to put that into the first post, too....

Oh, the usual catch applies: patches welcome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pvkiniyan95:
open source

Precisely its basically a rom where each and every app u use is open source which means u can customise and compile every apk u want if u can.

Its for people who are passionate about open source and heavy customisers and for people who like to tailor-make the rom for their personal use...

Just like the ARCH philosophy....This rom is what u make it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] agritux:
Yes, arch is an open source distro, but minimal too...

And same as, applications are user prefered applications. User installs what he/she wants. From repos or yogrth etc...

Anyway.

Sorry for spamming.

Some question marks in my head is solved.

Thanks for answers.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] DARKCHYLDX101:
Installed drivers. Started toolkit. Choose my Gear section. Choosed option 5 for Allinone root, recovery, busybox, backups. Then Watch went into download mode. USB debug enabled. Odin opened. I put tar file in pda slot toolkit provided. Hit start. Then it hangs for awhile.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BlakMajick:
Hey Mskip, I have used a few of your toolkits in the past and have found all of them very useful. I have donated to upgrade to the pro version of all of them. I was just curious if you were planning on doing anything for the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 tablet. I know there is the CF-Auto tool but I need something to root the Verizon version which is the SM-905V. Thank you in advance and keep up the excellent work!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] kingnarkissos:
Question

First thank you for your hard work in coming up with this process!!

Do we know if this will work with the newest galaxy gears? (gear 2, gear 2 neo and gear fit) My understanding is these devices aren't running android at all but an OS called Tizen. I know very little of this OS but I can say that the UI of my neo is nearly identical to my OG gear which makes me wonder if this method will work.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mskip:
The new Gear smartphones work on Tizen as you said and the Galaxy Gear module will not work with them. I don't have a Gear 2 yet and don't know if its even rootable but if anything can be done with it in the future I will definitely look at adding it.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] viny2cool:
Hi Op, I have used your toolkit on my nexus 5 and other samsung phones..so first thanks a lot man. Now I just bought a new gear. Whenever I select option 5 allinone and try to go to the folder in my C drive I dont see any tar file. I selected version 4.2.2 in the start. It says no extra files will be downloaded. I really want to root and install TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] read007:
pro version not seeing tar.files in galaxy gear !!!!

Hi, just to say ive donated tonite to buy the pro version and when i go to root my galaxy gear , it gives me the option to enter number 3/root/unroot options/ then go to the root galaxy gear folders and select the root file for odin, but there are no files there !! can you help as i have donated but unable to root my galaxy gear. I can supply you with the pro code when i donated to prove i did buy.

Hi I just got a gear and am about to root... And wanted to make sure this toolkit was fully functional?

I see the most recent post were having trouble.. Was it fixed?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] oran3e1:
Its not donation, its purchasing and no i dont want to buy your product, you could have warned me before i did all of this. good day
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] noellenchris:
Hey MSkip, I guess the latest updates put the Gear 1 on Tizen also. Your program ask to make the tar file and upload. I was wondering if you already have this update and are working on adding that to your program. Thanks. I also donated for the gear but have not done anything to it yet. I may root / install TWRP according to the forum threads in the mean time. Here is a link to the latest rom unrooted http://samsung-updates.com/details/30439/Galaxy_Gear/SM-V700/BTU/V700XXUCNF1.html it's the Great Britain file, but from what I understand it's the same for the US. Take it easy.

Chris

UPDATE: Tizen became really boring...so I'm back to Null rom. What was I thinking, it's nice and slick and good on battery. But even with root and setting up SDB (Sammy's ADB) and trying to customize a clock it was no longer exciting. So I came back to what I know and can use the MSkip's tool again.

Chris

Is there a way to change the boring 4.3 turn off animation to the old 4.1 turn off animation that looked like crt?
[Sony Xperia M] rizla2:
Why doesn't anyone like the new animation? I think it's cool, more stylish.

It's all about taste and what you were used to. I got used and kinda liked the new animation. Well, nevertheless, good for you. :D
[Sony Xperia M] mbc07:
The CRT isn't present anymore since Android 4.2, you're the first one I see that miss the old CRT effect. By the way, GravityBox allow to have the CRT effect back, not sure if it's working in 4.3...

Great Review!

The 100$ range getting really good this days- who could believe that you can buy quad core 4.7" HD OGS IPS 1GB ram smartphone including shipping ?

Few month ago [MENTION=228037]100[/MENTION]$ you could only buy cheap low quality 480P TFT 512MB ram dual core android 4.0.4 smartphones-and now- :).

I am interested to know if there are real differences in hardware between UMI and DooGee DG350 that its cheaper.

I just received this today- UMI X1 Pro for 110$ with coupon code :3d1a7c

[Device Reviews and Information] Xperia-Ray:
I bought lot's of smartphones from all popular site like geekbuying/Banggood/minideal etc' -as long as they have paypal + good feedback over the forums/media I go with the best deal the stores can offer:)

maybe next time I try coolicool too :).
[Device Reviews and Information] watalee:
what is the battery capacity?
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
2100 mah, by moderate use I can get through one day with it.

What I have experienced is that coolicool also have a very fast shipping (3-5 days). So I would recommend them without problem.

[Device Reviews and Information] EvangelineX:
This mobile phone design and Doogee DG350 is very similar.
[Device Reviews and Information] marus2:
Generally, Umi X1 pro and Doogee DG350 are the same phones. There is a little differency in battery, earphones in pack(doogee) and 3G - UMI is 900/2100, Doogee 850/2100.

Today I've flashed Doogee stock rom to UMI X1pro and it worked perfectly...

I don't understand, why UMI doesn't have ROM download on their webpages...Doogee has it here:

http://www.doogee.cc/en/gb/xiazai.asp?Page=2
[Device Reviews and Information] grojan:
And what about 3G? It was staying 850MHz or changed to 900MHz?

And camera is just as poor as was or better?
[Device Reviews and Information] marus2:
I don't know.... It works, but only because I use wcdma 2100.

If you can tell me, how to test it, I would try.

And camera is same. Nothing special.
[Device Reviews and Information] grojan:
I do not have this phone yet, but if you could look into settings ->wireless & networks and probably SIM management. It should be ticks at the appropriate frequencies there.
[Device Reviews and Information] iamwrong:
GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz WCDMA 900/2100 MHz

i saw that coolicool has correct the wrong specs already. sir.

it is WCDMA 900/2100MHZ.

Hi,

Ive been using this phone (actually Doogee dg350, but basically same phone) for 3 days now and so far I have not experienced any problems (no hangs/freezes) with the Doogee stock rom and everything seems to be running smooth :)
[Device Reviews and Information] grojan:
We are talking about Umi X1 pro with rom from Doogee DG350.
[Device Reviews and Information] iamwrong:
sorry,i didn't read the post clearly
[Device Reviews and Information] marus2:
So, today I finally test 3G capability.

So first screenshot is from Umi X1 pro with doogee pixels rom.

It is screenshot form engineer mode/band section.

I really don't know, what does it mean:)

For compare, here is screen from my UMI X1s. As you can see, it's the same.
[Device Reviews and Information] grojan:
According to me 900 MHz should works.

Thank you very much.

And when it comes to languages​​, is it for example Polish language? UMI hasn't, Doogee has.
[Device Reviews and Information] marus2:
Yes, polish included...

I think, if it is possible to copy some system files from doogee to umi rom.

I would think twice about it and maybe I would try something...:D
[Device Reviews and Information] grojan:
It will be great. I'll keep my fingers crossed.:highfive:
[Device Reviews and Information] grojan:
There is another phone that looks the same as UMi X1 Pro and DooGee DG350 - it is Freelander I50
[Device Reviews and Information] ragarok:
Received this phone two days ago and I'm impressed with it.

My biggest problem with it right now is that the stock Android keyboard (AOSP) doesn't have swype and dictionary for my native language (norwegian). other issue I have with my phone is that it holds the charge until 20% then it drops off like a dead fly and it turns itself off when it hits the 4% battery warning.

I would love to mess around in the rom of this thing, but I am afraid of bricking it right now, cause I don't have a copy of its ROM, and can't seem to find it on the net. any ideas? I know of doogee but I would prefer to keep this phone original if possible :)

There is no problem to make a flash tool backup.

You need to root your device and make backup with MTK droid tools.

Or download it from here:) (4th post)

www.androidiani.com/forum/umi/394281-umi-x1-pro.html
[Device Reviews and Information] Kasun117:
Yeah MTK Droid Tools is a great piece of software, it even allows you to replace the stock recovery with CWM recovery which so far isn't extremely useful as there isn't any custom roms yet but at least you can do nandroid backups of the whole phone :)
[Device Reviews and Information] NIght95:
Hello, if you install CWM by Mobile uncle tools you must hold vol+ and power button to enter recovery, but this works only when you connect charger to your phone. I have problem witch SP flash tool v5.

I would like to instal DG350 Rom in my umi x1pro but when i load scatter file i have this message :

"Error: Initializing scatter file failed. Please check the name of the scatter file wich you load is legal."

Wha's wrong? can you help me? :)
[Device Reviews and Information] marus2:
Try another version of flash tool
[Device Reviews and Information] NIght95:
I try three diffrent version and still that same problem :(
[Device Reviews and Information] marus2:
That's strange. Which ROM version you want to flash? From DooGee pages?

Today evening I can post you version, which works in my case
[Device Reviews and Information] NIght95:
Yes i download it from DooGee pages. Now is ok it's work fine :)

I remove all SP flash tool version, and Rom, after this I download Sp flash tool and Rom again and try again adn now it's work ! :)
[Device Reviews and Information] Xperia-Ray:
try this:

only this version work for me with MTK6582.

[Device Reviews and Information] Rmyaseen:
thnx but i buyed micromax canvas 2.2 its also good but battery back is nt too good but quite ok :D
[Device Reviews and Information] ragarok:
bricked mine for stupid reasons and now I can't flash back the backup I've got :(

What can I do, the phone exhibit strange behavior when I plug it into any computer I've tried it on, what happens is that when I plug it in while powered off, the computer(s) list unknown device "MT86xx preloader" in device manager and in one second or less, it vanishes again and the screen on my phone turns on with the battery charging icon.

I've tried three different cables, on three different computers, all with the exact same behavior. is my phone dead? or is there something I can do to make it stop doing that and play nice?

if I hold the volume up button when I plug the cable it starts ADB recovery. can I use that somehow to fix my phone?

The thing that prevents my phone to boot is wrong permissions on build.prop... :rolleyes:
[Device Reviews and Information] marus2:
To ragarok:

You need to keep this rules (they are well known and nothing new - they can be found elsewhere).

1) you need download usb driver for mtk phones

2) open device manager in windows, when mtk65xx preloader label sign in, left click on it on device manager and choose change driver(or something like this)

3) choose driver from downloaded folder.

Now you can flash your backup via flash tool.
[Device Reviews and Information] ragarok:
[MENTION=5322030]marus2[/MENTION]

problem is, even WITH the driver installed, the phone still behaves the same and turns off the preloader when it starts the charging cycle
[Device Reviews and Information] marus2:
Did you try put battery off?

BTW this is correct behavior... You have only a few seconds to install driver.
[Device Reviews and Information] ragarok:
battery off, cable in then battery. no go..

battery in, cable in. still no go. it is the same always no matter what I try..

is it supposed to be like this? Then how do I stop it from disconnecting itself, even after I've installed the driver?
