Hello Small Bear

1. No lollipop, only KitKat and I do not know if they gonna release lollipop or not? If someone have this piece of info please share it?

2. Iuni os is is in English and Chinese and you can change language from settings menu, go to scond last entry which is advanced settings, then the fourth entry and choose English.

It is good translated but some apps are not like weather, baidu keyboard, voice assistance and iuni market. I remove them after I install the ROM

3. The ROM in the link is modified from the latest official which we was talking about in the previous posts. The Iuni team removed it from OTA because of as they said many computability issues and problems and it is supposed to be a production version. The ROM modifier may have fixed some of them, do not know because I did not try it. I have the official and it have a battery drain problem with some applications.

4. No source code released, there is a MIuI ROM in the links above based on iuni ROM. I did not like it because of many Chinese apps. I got used to the simplicity of IUNI OS. I like to install my apps myself.

I like this device because I bought it, top HW. It has ****ty sw support and Chinese forums sucks so I cannot recommend it and it was not released to people outside china.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Small_Bear:
Hey prof_mastermind

I really appriciate you spending time to answer my questions.

Welp, i was really hoping to buy this device, as i can show it off to my friends. None of phones under $250(my maximum budget) offers such hardware.

As i have no other device to buy at my budget (any reccomendations are welcome) i gotto buy this device..

1. With the latest rom update, hows the phone performing ? Camera Optimizations ? Running smooth ? Hows 4K recording ?

I'm kinda off topickin here, as IUNI OS is a rom developer, why the hell dont they release Lollipop to this device ? Anyways is the latest update stable and smooth ?

Thanks in advance !!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prof_mastermind:
one of my mates have the same price problem, he ordered IUNI U3 from Geekbuying as well. He decided by himself. There may be other choices now. I needed (Dual SIM/3G RAM/Good Camera) and it was the best choice when I got it @ $367. Now there are Elephone P8000/ Asus ZenFone 2/Ulefone BeTouch 2/LeTV 1. I think LeTV is the best.

I am not sure about the price, You can check by the price and the specs via http://www.kimovil.com. You have to decide by yourself, I am happy with my phone but not totally satisfied :)

Regarding Lollipop, IUNIOS Team were really developing the ROM fast. Every 2 weeks there was a Beta Version and much less frequent production versions. They announced they stopped Beta Versions 3 month ago and said they decided to focus on releasing major version. I expected Lollipop but there are no news since then. They released Two production versions 20150514 and 20150708(was released 0724 and removed again as I told you). I am not sure there will be Lollipop and I cannot find news on Chinese forum(It is like hell). It was very hard to deal with it when I bought it because only a few people bought it outside China, It is better now after the price drop :cool:.

I think the best official ROM should be 20150514 (it contains some minor bugs) and I suppose the best modded ROM is the one you have the link for because of the tweaks it has (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2226373). and the 20150708 removed the minor bugs from the previous except for one new bug of WhatsApp.

I cannot try this version because in the update script there wipe the old version and I am not ready to reinstall all my apps and not sure if WhatsApp will work? (No one in the chinese forums will answer you about WhatsApp or Xposed are working because they do not use them :crying: )

If you decided to get one, give a try to the Modded ROM first. If something was wrong use 20150415. Also there is a new version of MIUI release on 20150806 (http://bbs.zhiyoo.com/thread-9718208-1-1.html) if you like MIUI :good:. I tried 20150702 and it was good except I do not like MIUI and you will know it if you tried simplicity of IUNIOS.

Hope this helps! Greetings

I think they plan to release a lollipop rom by the end of the month. I am running on Miui V6 5.8.6 right now, and I was able to get French translation by installing the Google keyboard and turning it to French. Another guy has just installed MoreLocale2 and also has been able to change to French. Miui is running quite nice. I like IuniOS too, quite simple to use. Guys made French translation for this os, so it should be able to have different languages.

The phone is great, but needs some optimization. The video recording is so so, better use a 3rd party app, and the bitrate seems to be poor, so videos are not very detailed :( I wonder if it could be possible to use a driver from another phone like OPO.

I live in China, U3 price is really low now, the best choice for the money I think, if you don't mind about tons of features...

instructions needed

Hello prof_mastermind - Ibrahim,

First let me thank you for your support of U3 users.:good:

I understand that you are running the U3 with the IUNI-U3-V3.0-201505140117 rom and GAPPS.

Well I am a bit lost reading about ways to update the U3 and install GAPPS, therefore would you be so kind to briefly describe how to update the U3 to the IUNI-U3-V3.0-201505140117 rom and how to install GAPPS.

From my current understanding I had the impression that a CWM recovery is needed to install GAPPS but the CWM version I have been able to find is specifically for IUNI-U3-V2.0-20140930 (Hence my confusion on how to move to a higher rom etc).:confused:

Thanks for helping us out here,

Thomas
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prof_mastermind:
Hello Thomas

Sorry for being late.

If you have a version of CWM (the only available one is chinese v6.5.0.1) it is suitable for all ROMs. You just install it after installing the official ROM(because the official ROM has another recovery image that cannot be used for GAPPs).

So what you will do:

1. Install ROM then install CWM and SuperSU (you can do this in the same recovery session just in order)

2. If installing SU failed just turn off and boot again in recovery , this time it will be Chinese CWM.

3.boot into ROM, install RootExplorer and delete /system/sdcard

4. Turn Off and boot in recovery and install GAPPs

Regards

Ibrahim
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niederlander:
Ibrahim thank you.

Understand the general idea.

I do have the chinese CWM recovery.

On the Iuni forum I found a description how to install that recovery using - what they call - the Brush Tool.

Only problem is that the tool is in chinese and I'm not sure if using that tool is not getting me in trouble cause of the language.

Hence my question is it safe to use the Brush Tool? (as far as you know)

Thomas
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prof_mastermind:
Hi Tom

The Chinese program is Shuame and it is safe to use. You have to install IUNI_USB_Drv_SetupV2.2.0.exe first. You can install recovery image and root the phone through it.

It is easier to use the stock recovery (Power+Vol. UP) and install through the zip file attached. Also I attached the Root package you can install

Regards

Ibrahim
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niederlander:
Ibrahim,

thanks so much.

I agree using the stock recovery is much simpler and probably saver - so I will try this way.

Thanks for the files as well.

Thomas
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niederlander:
Ibrahim,

just one last question popped up.

Which rom should be installed before installing cwm, and should we later (after cwm, superSU and GAPPS install) upgrade to a different (newer) rom?

Sorry for asking so much but I want to prevent trouble here.

Thomas
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prof_mastermind:
Thomas

The CWM is needed to install non official packages like modded ROMs, SuperSU or GApps. You can install it now if you want to install any of these now.

If you install an official ROM, it will overwrite the recovery again so you should install CWM after each official ROM. There is no harm in installing CWM.

You can choose any ROM you know. I am on 20150514, you can install it via OTA update. It is OK with minor bugs.

The moded ROM 20150807 seems to be the best. I have not tried it. Also MIUI v6.0 20150816 is good if you like MIUI, the developer plans to update it to MIUI v7.

Regards

Ibrahim

Miui 7 is out for some days now, I am running it and it works quite fine. There is also a tweaked version of the official rom, I did not try it.

Would anybody who has it be kind enough to upload the newest modded rom from the IUNI forums to Google Drive or something? Baidu Cloud is useless outside of China.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qidamin:
Not sure it has to do with rom development but is there a way to set the front camera focus to infinity? I have bought a selfie stick but once I am little far from the phone I am completely out of focus and get blurry pictures, so having a stick is pretty useless!

For the tweaked rom I will try to upload it, I have not tried it yet.

You can try this Rom : http://we.tl/cUeP4g2mvK

It is based on the official one with some little tweaks. Not sure it will resolve your problems though.

It works again

Don't know why, but now it works as usual again... first i thought it was the digitalizer, but it seems it wasn't. What i did was fully discharge the battery twice, and charge it again (the 2nd time with the original a/c adapter, the 1st one i was using another brand charger), and updated via OTA to the last official firmware, and it worked! I don't know how is this new version working because i went back to my old motorola razr maxx hehe, but now i will test it.

Thank you for your reply! :highfive: Maybe i give a try to that rom you say. How is it working? is it different to the official one?

New Rom Version (2015.09.28)

I just recognized that there seems to be a new Rom version at the IuniOS site.

Strangely it has version number V3.0 but is dated 2015.09.28.

Unfortunately I can't download this Rom - maybe someone could share via a different channel.

Also could someone shed some light one the status of this Rom (is it an update?)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qidamin:
I have read some people complaining about the last firmware. There are some new roms coming out now, HBB IuniOS and HBB Miui (based on Ry9iu one), one HBB is Android 5.1 I think. There is also an Oppo IuniOS rom. I will try to put them all on my Onedrive, but uploading times are very looooong and I don't have so much time to stay in front of my PC. I got some issue with Google keyboard (both French and Pinyin one) sometimes it is working good, sometimes I need to press stronger and accurately for it to work properly.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qidamin:
Ok guys here are some different roms you can flash on your U3. They should be Chinese/English only, but normally on Miui roms you can use MoreLocale to translate 70 percent of the rom. I have added Dolby Atmos and Nubia Camera apps too.

I am running Miui7 from Ry09iu and it works great, nothing to complain about, I don't know for battery life as I don't really check for this, I think it is ok.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qidamin:
I have installed Google Apps flashing them via recovery, same for SuperUser. I have no problem with Google Play, though the latest version seems to be for Android 5.0, and the Miui rom is still 4.4.4. There is a post here where you can check which Miui app you can get rid of without problem, though it is in Chinese, I will try to put it in onedrive too. I am still using some Chinese app, I am in China...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prof_mastermind:
I do not think there is Android 5.0 and IUNIOS team announced there will be no Lollipop for IUNI U3 although they release it for their new phone! They say the problem is with Qualcomm

If you mean MIUI HBB 5.0 is Android 5, I do not think so.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csfiatkos:
I believe he means that the Google play store is the version for the 5.0, not the whole rom.

The fact that iuni doesn't update the u3 obviously not caring for all of us who bought the device, is unbelievable. The excuse that the processor can't work with 5.0 for me is crap, since a lot of devices have the same processor and 3gb of ram are more than enough. They just wanna push the new device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prof_mastermind:
Why? What is the advantage of play store in Android 5 than 4??!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csfiatkos:
I have no idea.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qidamin:
No there is no 5.0 rom, I have also made a mistake on one HBB rom in my onedrive, it is not lollipop, the dev tried to have a rom closer as possible to lollipop by adding some apps. I had an update for Google Play on my phone via a Chinese app but when I clicked on it it said the new version is for Android 5.0 so it should no work correctly on my phone. Yeah the excuse of Qualcomm not releasing source code is bull****. The fact is that (I presume) lot of people stopped working for Iuni, CEO left, probably many developers left as they were searching for new ones. And only N1 phone remains on their website.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csfiatkos:
I installed the miui Rom from the drive I found here, it' OK, I installed super su too and uninstalled the Baidu app and some other Chinese but not miui apps. Very satisfied even though it didn't offer me anything else.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niederlander:
Hi Chakkra,

here is what I did (most described a view pages back in a post by prof_mastermind).

When I first turned on the phone and established wifi connection the phone updated OTA to the latest firmware (the same you have).

After that I installed CWM (see page 5 of this topic for files).

I rooted my phone using Kingo Root software

After rooting I installed Super SU and Root Explorer on the phone.

At this point I deleted /system/sdcard from the phone memory and installed pico GAPPs.

That's about what I did.

You can find more details if you read the rest of this topic and also links to software are mentioned in the topic.

Good luck.

Thanks a TON to "keckek" and "Thomas" - for taking time in help me out to Root the device and installing GAPPS :)

I am planning to use this phone to receive OFFICE EMAILs, but as a company policy I need to ENCRYPT the phone first.
