Wow,it is a nice phone.
[Device Reviews and Information] bigrammy:
Please try give a little more detail...

Which version

where did you store the backup internal or external SD

Was data encrypted when you made the backup? (did you set a lock pattern before the backup)

Where did you download it from

EDIT: Has anyone else had issues restoring their backups :confused:

We did have a similar issue on a older version of TWRP for the P6000 and I thought the issue was resolved in later versions of TWRP. :confused:

IF you encounter problems restoring the phone then try do it manually by selecting just 1 partition restoring it then

go back and select another partition and restore that so and so on this resolved the issue in the older TWRP version.

I am not 100% sure what causes this issue as logs of the past didn't really give us any clues :eek:

If anyone can pull the log where this problem occurred that would be great :good:

The Logs are in /cache/recovery/ The Logs can be viewed with notepad ++ or just add .txt to the end to view with notepad.

Please report anything on my thread on xda and put HAMMER in the title of your post. http://xdaforums.com/android/development/elephone-p6000-mtk6732-64bit-sp-flash-t3007070

Try the method above of restoring one partition at a time.

Please be sure it's a Lollipop backup you are restoring as I mentioned already. :good:

Follow the instructions given and if you do have a problem then report it properly. :rolleyes:

You are the only 2 people out of hundreds maybe even thousands that have reported any issues so what should I think :silly:

Read back on this thread or on needrom.com if you cannot give me any detailed info then I must assume you are amatures who are making mistakes :highfive:

Now in Spanish once only.

En Inglés , por favor.

Siga las instrucciones dadas y si usted tiene un problema, entonces reportarlo correctamente. :rolleyes:

Ustedes son los únicos 2 personas fuera de cientos tal vez incluso miles que han reportado ningún problema así que lo que debo pensar :silly:

En español me expreso mejor, gracias, si tu quieres entenderlo seguramente sabrás utilizar un traductor.

Por supuesto que no reporté el problema, y la razón es bien simple, nunca me he quejado de ninguno que fuera por tu recovery...hasta ahora. Y claro, quien busca alabanzas y que le adoren por su trabajo tambien debe asumir sus fallos y errores. Que sean cientos o miles los que usan tu recovery no lo se, pero si son como yo que cuando tienen un problema no van lloriqueando a quejarse al autor de la aplicación entonces claro que podras decir que nadie se queja, pero no que tu aplicación es perfecta si no por que asumen que nadie obliga a nada aqui y si utilizan algo que no funciona en su terminal no es culpa tuya, si no del que la utiliza. Cuando crezcas y seas mayor quizas aprendas a ser más humilde y asumir que cuando no se te nombra o se agradece tu trabajo (que en el fondo es eso lo que te escuece) no es para apropiarse de el, en mi caso, y entono el mea culpa, fue simplemente QUE SE ME OLVIDÓ. Y para terminar, y siendo poco amable ya que las circustancias así me lo piden, los emoticones de tonto :silly::silly::silly: te los metes por el culo, criatura. Y lo dicho, lo tuyo se cura con la edad. Tranquilo que si no te cae un ladrillo encima llegarás. :cool:
[Device Reviews and Information] bigrammy:
So the recovery works then :confused:

I do not care at all about the thanks it's just called being polite and making sure users know where to go when they have an issue which is probably the reason why [MENTION=5398177]voliotis[/MENTION] posted on this thread rather than mine or on needrom.com.

[Device Reviews and Information] MacArthur67:
I don't know if you guys who have the Hammer and have played with the MTK Engineering Mode have noticed it, but my initial suspicions were right, the backside cam is an 8 MP cam interpolated to 13 MP. To be exact it's an OmniVision 8858 1/4-inch 8 MP image sensor. And in the light of that finding I would get rid of the interpolation if I used the phone myself. I mean the photos would definitely look better with 8 MP and less jpg compression than with interpolated 13 MP and harder jpg compression (assuming the same file size). Maybe another camera app can solve that easily? Here is more info about the sensor in UMI Hammer:

http://www.ovt.com/products/sensor.php?id=139

The frontside cam is a 1/5-inch GalaxyCore gc2755 2.1 MP image sensor interpolated to 3.2 MP.

Another interesting thing is that in the internal device info the CPU is labelled as MT6752 instead of MT6732. In benchmark apps it shows up correctly as a MT6732 though. I'm not sure of why the internal labelling is like this or what it means. It's just very strange.
[Device Reviews and Information] Tickerz:
they shipped my touch screen last friday :good:
[Device Reviews and Information] bigrammy:
That's normal for mediatek and nothing to worry about. :laugh:

They share same kernel compile script for both the Cpu's ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] MacArthur67:
Thanks, I thought it had to do with that both SoCs are the same generation and that they share resources.

Any idea about how to get rid of the silly photo destroying interpolation in the cameras in a simple way?

I don't have any Hammer here now to play with but I could spread the information to my friends who have this device.
[Device Reviews and Information] bigrammy:
Hmm not sure bro :confused:

I am on the stock Lollipop ROM and the camera only shows the maximum res of the true 8 megapixel camera (No 13 megapixel option so no interpolation) ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] MacArthur67:
That's a good reason for a Lollipop upgrade then, except that I will be the one who has to do that upgrade in most of the Hammers I bought for friends… :eek:

Hi,

I am happy user of Uni Hammer for 2 weeks. Battery went dead after 2 days ;) but hopefully I could buy another one in 2 days in my country.

Does anyone have problem with Dialer.apk theme as me? When receiving call, bottom half of screen is white (as new KK theme) and available options circle (hang, answer...) is also white so it is not visible unless I swipe it.

Is it only for me? Changing dialer app doesn't change anything as they don't involve this part of theme.

Any suggestions? Very irritating for someone who uses phone mostly for calling ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] Sedro:
Yes here. I have exactly the same problems with my phone. Missing the option buttons at the half site. And no idea how to solve it. Anyone an idea?

What about the official updates? Is there any new Rom I can use with the RootJoy Tool? Which software do i have to select?
[Device Reviews and Information] GilMateus:
You have one new update to KitKat on needrom site but dont know if it Solves that issue (just give it a try) what i know is that if you install lollipop 5.1 that issue is resolved
[Device Reviews and Information] frodoke:
Doesn't the 'options circle' appear when you just touch the screen??? It does on my hammer.... so I think it's standard, just touch the screen-circle appears and then swipe to the side of the screen(right side for accepting the call)

My problem is i dont know if is the LCD, is inside the glass, so i dont know if, its simple change it.

By the way is in warranty, but we know that warranty is not to trust, send to china and probably came back with other problem :laugh:

But thanks for the website lol
[Device Reviews and Information] GilMateus:
If you can see the crack on the LCD you have to change everything because Hammer as a OGS screen meaning that touch panel and lcd are fused together if one brakes you have to change both.

About warranty, as you said you dropped it, so it's you responsability and not covered by any warranty in the world no matter the brand.
[Device Reviews and Information] Mouratti:
Thanks for advise.

Is i know that, they drop but was a small drop, i just frustated because hammer, the test they do etc... smash the phone bla bla bla.....and then a small drop broken the lcd.

UMI Hammer camera

Guys, did anyone of you have any success with tweaking the camera in the Hammer? The colour balance is really off, especially in low light. The photos gets way too much blue levels in them and the darker it is where the photo is shot, the worse the problem gets. I don't know where the problem is, if it's in the camera control circuit or the sensor (hardware), or the firmware. This is a common problem in cheap Chinese phones I think and it can quite easily be fixed by just adjusting the colour levels, but that takes a lot of time. Usually when photos turn out too blue or too beige it's because the camera’s auto white balance setting doesn’t get things right. However, I have tried to play with the white balance in the camera but it doesn't help much. It seems to be more off than just by white balance. Look at the photo I have attached. It was taken by a friend of mine with her Hammer while she was aout picking raspberries the other day. Not a good photo because the focus is bad, but it shows what I'm talking about. I have corrected the right part of the photo just by reducing the blue levels in the mid tones quickly in Photoshop. My point is that the photos from the Hammer would turn out a lot better if the phone could reduce the blue levels internally. What do you think? What can be done? This Hammer is on KK firmware. Is it the same in the LP rom?

Hey guys, if you are running Kitkat on your UMI Hammer and want to fix the Stagefright Exploit: I tried out a file from a patch for the Jiayu S3. And, lo and behold: After copying the file to system/lib the Zimperium stagefright detector diagnosed my Hammer "not vulnerable".

Please run a complete Nandroid Backup before trying this out!

1. Unzip attached file.

2. On your phone: rename /system/lib/libstagefright.so to /system/lib/libstagefright.so.bak (in order to backup the original file)

3. Copy the extracted file to /system/lib/libstagefright.so

4. if necessary, temporarily change the rights of the directory /system/lib

with ES Explorer or Root Explorer.

You can also use the root shell: "su

cp /.../libstagefright.so /system/lib/libstagefright.so" Replace the first path according to your own settings.

Thanks a million to Jiayu.de & [MENTION=4196889]DerTeufel1980[/MENTION]!
[Device Reviews and Information] MacArthur67:
Thanks, but I have tried several third party cams and it doesn't seem to help much. I'm not sure but I think that the problem could be in the fw and not the camera sensor itsellf. The sensor has an on-board image processor (ISP) that potentially could mess up the photos, but I don't think so since the same sensor (OV8858) seems ok in other devices. Also I don't think the ISP interfere much with the colour/white balance. The sensor ISP does mostly other things like defect pixel correction and lens shading correction. The output format of the sensor to the SoC is 10-bit RGB RAW data, which means that there must be quite a lot of post processing done in the CPU. At least the jpg-compression must be handled by the SoC, but probably a lot more. My point is that then the fw must be involved and it wouldn't make much difference what camera app I'm using. I mean that the camera app gets the photo after the SoC has done the post sensor ISP processing and then it's probably already messed up. Any ideas?

[MENTION=4273656]Mouratti[/MENTION]

What's the lenovo cam? An app in Play Store?

I have attached another photo from a friends Hammer. This time the photo is shot in daylight and even then the blue tint is very obvious I think. I have just quickly adjusted the blue levels in the right part of the photo. Please compare and tell me what you think could be done in the phone to correct this on the fly.
[Device Reviews and Information] Mouratti:
You can find it on XDA forum, is an APP

Hey guys,

No modifying at all was necessary for the update of the Jiayu S3 stagefright-patch. Thanks a million to [MENTION=4196889]DerTeufel1980[/MENTION] for this!

Those of you running Kitkat 4.4.4. can download it, copy it to the internal or external storage and install it through custom recovery.

But please run a full Nandroid Backup before installing and backup the original file "/system/lib/libstagefright.so" - e.g. you can rename it to "libstagefright.so.bak"

Big thanks to bigrammy for looking into it and giving the :good:

Calls dropping after a couple of minutes??

Hi everyone

I'm new on here and have a question. Running lollipop on the umi Hammer and have a problem with calls. The call gets dropped after 2 to 4 minutes and it looses the sim card for a couple of minutes after that. Any ideas. LTE internet and everything else is running great all day. I have tried the sim in both slots and its the same problem, works fine in my old iPhone. Have you got any ideas to resolve this issue?
