Ok,

Yesterday I've received rome. First impression, very positive. Looks stunning. Good finish all looks perfectly. Display is amoled from some china brand (good sharpness and colour) but not like a samsungs one. Black isn't deep like on mine Zero. Maybe it has not per pixel backlight.

All other things are looks promising. 8pix Camera photos with comparison to my im214 are very good.

Menu is accessible by long pressing the menu instead of short. Functions are simply reversed. Short press = last app, long press = menu.

Phone works smoothly, battery goes down quickly but that's normal on first days of playing with :)

Gestures on "screen off" works good (double tap to wakeup or slide up to unlock)

Smart gestures (using proximity sensor) are ok but I've never used them in general.

I've hardcase which is nice looking but should be more transparent. It's like -50% light so backplate gold is not visible.

Leather case seems to be hand sewed and thin but is bigger than the phone so it's kind of extra protection on drop/fall.

For 100$ it's dealbreaker. I hope there will be no problems with phone later.
[Device Reviews and Information] PlanDreaM:
Have you removed the screen protector? Touch seems somewhat wonky.

It's a good phone, screen backlight could be better though.
[Device Reviews and Information] Tarnak:
Yes I did. I think now it has better responsibility but in general touch is ok. Writing sms is not problematic. Later i'll test swype. So i 'll give some feedback.

I've found that power button switch must be pressed harder to work than vol +-. buttons.

Is there any way to root firmware version 3.03 ?!

I am trying to find a root option for 3.03. I have tried Kingo, iroot, geniuse, ...
[Device Reviews and Information] Tarnak:
Strange, there should be supersu available. It supposed to be prerooted(umi do this on all phones). At least try installing supersu from twrp, there was a way to do it.
[Device Reviews and Information] saman.sazgar.ge:
SuperSU was available on 3.01. But when I flashed it to 3.03, i lost SuperSU and root access!

Thanks for the TWRP proposal.
[Device Reviews and Information] tarinka:
Flash again
[Device Reviews and Information] ivan_smvc:
I flashed my phone via Rootjoy ,root and supersu remains after flashing.
[Device Reviews and Information] megthebest:
flash 3.03 with rootjoy to have root .

If you flash needrom 3.03 you don't have root and you need my twrp to flash supersu.

BTW no other apps can give you root rights, you need stock rom via rootjoy or twrp recovery for root!

Are you sure the display is amoled? How did you check?
[Device Reviews and Information] Tarnak:
On umidigi they showed display rev. & invoice. That type of screen is treated as amoled from some china factory.

I can't find that thread...
[Device Reviews and Information] lzwfkv:
You can find a report on the amoled panel here by s7yler: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=64708060

Even though it looks like very low quality amoled.
[Device Reviews and Information] sensorex@gmail.com:
Im received yesterday, im checked the display and im sure thats not amoled. There are im see a black light. This is IPS TFT panel, with 2 points touchscreen.

Every other features is same.
[Device Reviews and Information] FreeJJ:
Screen of UMI Rome is definitely NOT amoled.

Anybody knowing the difference between amoled and IPS can easily check it.
[Device Reviews and Information] PlanDreaM:
The display is NOT AMOLED, 100%.
[Device Reviews and Information] vkmaxx:
The biggest problem is touch screen, it uses some sort of filtering making it hard to use with swype keyboards. You can easy see that someting is wrong when you enable pointer location in dev settings. That is on 3.01, I'm going to check if the problem is still present on 3.03 firmware.

I'm making video with comparison of touch screen before and after the update.

Yesss it's much better now!
[Device Reviews and Information] sensorex@gmail.com:
Hi guys again,

So im bought this handy for my wife, to change the old doogee dagger, but im think its not so better like that phone.

The first time its look big deal for 99 usd, i have a luck im no paid tax, but after im saw an action in ali where is the xiaomi redmi note 2 was 119 usd.

I had redmi note 2(just sell it), and that phone is more more and more better like this.

Im think 19 usd is not too big price for much more performance.
[Device Reviews and Information] tarinka:
Batery touch and overhiting are problems, other is ok hahaha
[Device Reviews and Information] tarinka:
What about problems of umi rome, they are not minor problems ?
[Device Reviews and Information] Argail7:
The problems still exist, and the bigger problem is of course the touchscreen.... with the configuration set by the MTK engeenering mode seems work better but is only a false feeling.

The double tap work so badly at the border of the touchscreen and there are also a bad sensitivity at the border of the smartphone when u touch it with the other hand....

The other big problem is the battery but I have been lucky because I haven't got this problem.

The last problem is the wifi connection.... if the signal is not at maximum strenght it will lost the connection randomly.... and u have to disconnect and reconnect it again!

I hope there is a way to solve this kind of problem because the smarthphone looks beautiful and it would be so sad to not being able to make full use of it....

UMI you have to work on v3.04 firmware or new kernel because this one is bugged...too much bugged!

---------- Post added at 08:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 AM ----------

It could be a lower quality amoled but I definitely like it. To me it's not just A quality bit AA and I love watching videos on youtube. Super for a $100 phone.
[Device Reviews and Information] FreeJJ:
Observations show the UMI Rome screen is IPS, and definitely not amoled.

However I agree it's a nice phone for $100.

[MENTION=2117336]garmin[/MENTION] yes I have no sound when recording too , let me know if you find a fix , I wonder is android 6 coming for umi rome??
[Device Reviews and Information] megthebest:
any news?

if you have an hardware failure, no software can fix. Android 6 is the last thing we want for Rome.. we need support and better devece for everyday use..

I manage a good compromise with some customization with my TWRP and some zip for Boot, Animation, UI (Nova launcher), Adblock, Xposed + Gravity Box + Xstana+ other modules, DOlby Atmos ..

Very good device now.. i only need last thing about a creation of zip with improved touch panel sensibility, because if set via Engineering mode MTK, it will return to stock value on next boot!

tpd_em_pressure_threshold mettere il valore 25 e fare tap su set

tpd_em_debounce_time mettere il valore 4 e fare tap su set

tpd_em_debounce_time0 mettere il valore 5 e fare tap su set

tpd_em_debounce_time1 mettere il valore 9 e fare tap su set
