Thanks for the video.

It's a nice looking UI but there's too much Chinese apps for my liking. I wonder if Umi will make Gapps available for these custom ROMs that don't include them.

Do you get stuff pre-release?

Do you know what other ROMs we're going to see in the near future? I read on Facebook that there could be some more released tomorrow.

I notice you've got Umi's new logo in your video. It's good to see they're ditching the old Xiaomi fake looking logo. If Umi want to progress, they need their own identity.

EDIT - I notice Umi have just posted that MIUI is now available. I wonder if this is arcatarc's version or if they've had a go at it themselves. The ROMs are coming out thick and fast! Hopefully quality isn't suffering to give quantity.

The post regarding MIUI on the UMI forum says that it's based on 3.09.

So I wouldn't expect many fixes.

UMi shame everywhere... MIUI was to be multilang rom, but there are only 2 languages!!
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] thepopos:
I installed the MIUI v6 ROM last night and am opinion is very mixed.

I love the UI, it's really nice and is a massive improvement over the stock ROM. There's lots of nice features (security etc...) and I had no problem setting up a MIUI account.

Unfortunately it seems to be a massive battery drain. It'll drain at least 1% per minute of use.

It also has quite a lot of Chinese in it. I get random Chinese notifications and I haven't a clue what they are.

As those who use MIUI will know, when you want to do any sort of customisation (ringtone etc....) it loads the store. At first the store loads in English but then it switches to Chinese after around 2 seconds. It's really annoying because it's unusable as soon as it changes.

I'll probably switch back to stock v3.09 tonight. Hopefully they'll fix the issues soon.

Battery replacement

Hello, today I removed the battery cover successfully (without breaking the glass :victory:) but now I am looking for a good battery replacement.I contacted with the retailer where I bought the phone but I don't think he will send me any battery.....Also I don't want to use again a low quality battery like UMI's so I am looking for a brand battery.I read that Arcatarc is using an XPERIA Z3 battery with success but it does't fit so well.Does anyone have any idea?The battery space in UMI ZERO is 85*59*4mm (the bigest problem is the thickness because of the back cover glass).Xperia Z1 battery's dimensions are 75 x 62 x 5 mm. and the width can be reduced by cuting the right and left plastic edges....but the 1mm more thickness is a proplem :confused:

REMOVE GOOGLE BAR and UMI ZERO REBOOTS

Answer to MrSim according post #1234:

You can remove google bar from desktop by changing the launcher, I've installed Nova launcher. UMI's default launcher includes google bar, and you can't remove it...

I'm suffering UMI reboots between 10-20 in a day.

Anyone knows any workaround or trick in order to make reboots disappear or be mitigated?

I've tried patch versions v03, v05, v06 and now v09 but it's still rebooting.!!!

No of course not, that is only the case with the Chinese ROMs like Yunos and MIUI. Lollipop is multilanguage and international. It has nearly all kind of languages.

EMUI is also multilanguage, if Yunos will be multi also later, I don't know.
[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] thepopos:
All languages.

It works and feels quick. Clearly it's not a finished port but it's a good start.

[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] thepopos:
Issues found so far with the Lollipop ROM:

Google voice input is the default keyboard. So you have to skip most of setup and go change it in settings before you can configure WiFi etc...

The notification bar doesn't function as I expected. On my Moto G you pull down once for notifications and then pull again for the quick menu. In the build you push a button in the top right corner to switch between the two.

When you open the quick menu (from notifications) there's a missing square in the bottom right corner.

The brightness bar on the notifications menu goes off the screen

The notification menu doesn't display properly if you have too many notifications. It doesn't show the clear all icon.

You can't add an APN. This means I can't use mobile data at all.

It doesn't seem like you can disable USB debugging

It doesn't have the nice stacked window manager

I really don't like the font that's used!

It does seem relatively stable though. I've not seen any WiFi dropouts in the hour or so I've been playing with it. Battery life seems decent as well.

It'll be interesting to see where this is in a few weeks. I really hope Umi get time to finish it properly.

Lollipop doesn't look exactly the same on all phones. For example, I have the LG G3, Nexus 7, HTC One M8, and ZTE Blade S6, all with Lollipop, but not on one of these it looks exactly the same, or there are small changes. So don't expect Lollipop to be exactly like on your Moto G. But of course, the real bugs should be taken care of. But most important is that it runs stable and is relative fast. I have tried many Android 5 Beta ROMs (on other brands) that ran terrible compared to this one here.

Due its cpu (MT6592) specs UMI Zero can not record in 4k or 120 fps, neither use 4G bands. You should buy a MT6595 (32bits), MT67XX (64 bits) phone.

Yes it has come to my attention after I uploaded the ROM and made a video of it, that it "maybe" could be a fake Lollipop ROM? I am not sure if it is or not. I got this ROM from UMI and they told it was Android 5. I have asked UMI, and I hope they somehow can explain it.

GPS

Hi again,

My next GPS experience with UMI ZERO is that quality of GPS is a bit better when unplug charge. It's still bad but there is visible difference how GPS working if charging or not.

Tried to follow by different ideas available in net how to improve GPS but still no success. Additionally, asked UMI support. Let's see what they answer.

For me those all signs points the GPS is bad from hardware nature so will be really surprised if UMI manage to improve whatever.

This is lesson for future: never buy early phase of hardware.

Umi Zero 2: http://www.antelife.com/umi-zero-2-...reen-android-4-4-4g-lte-smartphone-black.html

A very strange decision to say the least. It's hard to get into the mindset of Umi. The Zero feels unfinished and doesn't convey a quality that would lead to bringing out another device under its name.

The use of the name is especially strange when the new phone doesn't look as luxurious as the original model (plastic back, copycat design etc...)

It makes you worry that they'll never solve the problems they have with the original if their development team is trying to support this new device and the other phone that's about to come out (Hammer).

[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] thepopos:
I'm not sure that's fair.

Umi have continued to support the Zero well beyond its release. I believe the device came out in November and they're still releasing ROMs for it now. That's not very common for a Chinese company and is extremely rare for a Chinese company selling at this price point.

Their biggest problem is communication and a willingness to discuss the major issues with the device. They set up a forum which was a very good step forward and they then appointed regional moderators to help customers which again seemed like a very good idea. Unfortunately all those moderators seem to be able to do is tell people to contact the retailer. It's rare that any useful advice comes from Umi.

The reboot issue seems fixed if you use the under-clocked kernel. I've not seen a reboot for a few weeks now. It's just a shame that Umi don't include it in their builds, I guess they fear that they've sold the device as an octo-core 2ghz device and clocking it to 1.7ghz would send a bad message.

The other big issue is the battery but that's a hardware issue. They've made battery kits and back panels available to retailers but for some reason they haven't been made available to purchase. The only way to get them seems to be to complain that your battery has swollen. Even on a good ROM I only get about 1 hours worth of web browsing before it dies.

I don't believe Umi knows how to resolve the remaining software issues (WiFi etc...). If they did, we'd have seen a release by now.

Finally, I really hope Umi are sending some money or devices Artarac's way. I love his MIUI ROM and hear very good things about his EMUI ROM. I use the MIUI ROM and other than a bluetooth pairing issue with my car, it does everything I would want it to do. It's stable, looks beautiful and is ok on battery (compared to Umi ROMs).
