I was wondering for those who used those TCL's rom on their Emax mini phones, if there is an improvement of the battery life and performance?

Looks very interesting, I will consider this method if UMI doesn't update the device. Good work
[Device Reviews and Information] varotone:
I am using this Mokee (cm12.1-based) rom. Performance is the same (I think it was OK in stock), battery life is slightly better, but not a lot.

The obvious benefits are that it is 5.1.1, and all the CM added functionalities.
[Device Reviews and Information] forzalaquila:
Hello,

eMax mini CM12.1 installation guide + resources

http://community.umidigi.com/thread-2084-1-1.html
[Device Reviews and Information] johnnyjoe:
Is it me, or this phone lags a lot. I came from a Samsung S3 Neo, with lower specs than eMAX mini, but I never experienced lag on the UI, or in games, even with stockrom, everything is fluid, no stutters - and I've compared both with games like Real Racing 3.

I didn't tried with stock rom. I've used Mokee for TCL M3G, and now I'm trying Airom. Same lag and not so good performance on both.

I'm disappointed with eMAX mini performance. Is it just me? : )
[Device Reviews and Information] hrand:
Hey Johnnyjoe, in my opinion I think the emax mini is not good for playing new 3d games, it has only 2Gb of ram, the Snapdragon 615 is the 1st 64bit and octacore made by qualcomm, I think it is made for better battery life. Juicy battery more than power energy consumer is the goal maybe, experienced like some Intel atom procs, that's why it lags sometimes. One week now I own it, I charge only every morning before I go to work. It's better than all my previous android phones.
[Device Reviews and Information] johnnyjoe:
Hi! Thanks for the reply. My Samsung S3 Neo was Qualcomm Quadcore 1.4mhz, with a Adreno 305 (450mhz) and 1,5gb of ram, and even with stockrom and no additional mods (Touchwiz, wich is way heavier than CM), I never experienced lag or stutter, doing the same things, playing the same games. That's why I'm not happy with lags or stuttering.

Antuntu on the S3 was like 24000 something after overclock it to 1.6mhz, and playing with the kernel. The max I've got with eMAX mini was 30000 something - with Airom, and before installing more apps, but normally I get something around 27.000 and 28.000.

So, I'm hoping that the phone gets better with updates. : )

UMI Emax Mini / TCL M3G LCD urgently needed!

Hello,

I was happy user of TCL M3G (Umi emax mini, Kruger&Matz Live 3) untill yesterday!

My daughter drop it on the tailed floor - screen face down!

Now screen is broken, 50% of a screen isn't responding and I got stuck with that.

There is nothing impossible to me because I can replace LCD by myself but... There is no LCD replacement available AT ALL!! I checked: aliexpress, whole internet and universe and... NOTHING!

Can someone of you recommend where to buy it?

I asked already some of aliexpress sellers but no success.

I'm begging... please Help!

Battery draining quickly

I wonder what happens to my phone,:confused: one month now I own the Umi emax mini. The data service always activated (facebook, gmail, google+ and messenger in background), the gps 2 hours max, 15 calls approximately per day, in normal use, the battery last 1 day and a half. But since my contract was renewed this month, the battery drains so fast, it goes off after 12 hours only.:( I suspect some malicious apps running as spyware. Can you help me please, I don't know what to do.

New ROM update avalaible

Did someone try this new update from Umi community ? The flash method seems very easy to use. I'd like to compare with mine which is UMI eMAX mini_001_10/23/2015. all looks like stock except the appdrawer when I received it. How about battery life ?
[Device Reviews and Information] varotone:
As it says right there on the post you are linking, this update only does three things:

Add new languages

Disable OTA updates

Remove some chinese apps

That's all, so you shouldn't really expect anything about battery life or performance to change.
[Device Reviews and Information] hrand:
eMAX mini updated to ver. 11/17/2015

So finally I updated my Umi eMAX mini to the newer version mini_001_11/17/2015, lagged of battery drain by the older version. One week now I use it, it feels a little faster, no lag ( I mean the app execution didn't wait a few sec before doing its job), it comes with a ton of language, some unnecessary apps are removed but you can add all your favorite apps from playstore. With data always on, the battery is good enough in standby but it'll drain when you play a long time with.

Nice week end for all.

Pros : Faster, no lag, quick fix gps, good camera, everything quite good.

Cons : No nfc, no band 20, alarm too loud even in low volume, cast screen option missing.

Hello guys, am new here and need a lil help with my umi emax mini, i want to root the phone but i want to backup the os before doing so,, can anyone help me out on how to do so, so i won't brick my phone
[Device Reviews and Information] hrand:
Hello friend, why would you root your Emax mini? personally, I hadn't to root mine, I just flash a new rom through the download mode and that's it, there is no bloatware to remove nor any setting to modify. But if you really want to root it then here is one advice, you must install the latest twrp (you can find this on umi-community forum), through twrp there is an option to let you backup all your stuff. After, you flash the last supersu.zip via the twrp recovery. If everything is done correctly, your phone is rooted after a reboot. Good luck.

I just thought rooting it, would help the phone function better because now the phone is starting to lag a lil and i would also like to flash the phone. I just wanted to upgrade the phone in anyway, so can u help me on how to flash a new rom? 2ndly i also don't know how to get to download mode, can help me out
[Device Reviews and Information] hrand:
What do you mean by a lil lag ? For me the lag is just I hate the phone waiting a moment before acting, maybe you have to remove all unneeded apps on the phone to free the ram and storage, and clean or wipe the cache storage.

It's very easy if you want to flash a new rom. I can't remember the exact method but as our friend JohnnyJoe said you must check the Umi Forum before, there is a combination of power and volume rocker button to get the download mode. Download and install the driver first, then you download the .exe file update (the last here) and check if the phone is recognized by the computer running windows, then you double click on the .exe, wait a moment to let the flash work and bam you have a new fresh Emax mini to setup.

Would like to downgrade my phone so I can re-root. But I will have to wipe the data partition to do this (otherwise I'll get bootloop). I'm on LP 5.1.1 version 546

Can anyone recommend away to backup all my apps, data, settings etc or even the whole data partition including internal storage? I've look at helium, adb backup, and holo but as I understand it they all use adb which doesn't backup fully on the xperia phones

Bootloader is locked at present so no option for custom recovery also I believe unlocking the bootloader wipes the device anyway

Many thanks
