Edited by Ziggy at 2017-3-12 00:31 \n\nHi there,

i released a nice cleaned up ROM for the Umi Diamond. Its based on the original V7 Rom from the Forum, free of any files that seemed suspicious incl. the mythic spende.zip, its still there but its a file only full off nullchars and a pk header, i could not simply delete it or the phone will not function but works with a file that has nothing in it
The phone works here without any bugs, never had the problem with non market apps turning on themself since then.
If you have TWRP already installed its a simple wipe/install thing if not you have to install TWRP first, the V5 Version from the Forum works flawless.
You can find the rom and any needed files/documentation on needrom or directly at mediafire https://www.mediafire.com/folder/6u8pal79y7i70/Umi_Diamond
Preinstalled are only a few GAPPs from opengapps.org if you need more you can download their full package and have anything on it what you might need.

Still i think its realy sad that users have to release roms what are clean and hope umi will come with a clean rom as well soon, for all those who are dont want to install a custom rom.

Take a look at it if you like, i made that rom with my best knowlage and belief that it is free from anything harmfull.
Still i am not responsible for anything what happens if you install it and something goes wrong.
I hope Umi wont delete this post but let the users decide if they want to give it a try.
I dont know if it voids warranty or not, for me it was a simple decision cause sending the phone back was no option.
Its still a very good phone from the hardware for the price if you ask me.
I for myself will only look into this forum once a week or less from now on cause i am tired of the discussion with the staff about what is in the stock rom or not.

Only one word to Umi as a company : You make good phones in my opinion for a very low price. Maybe make it a little more expensive and dont do something like you did with this phone software wise. Also it would be a good idea to provide the sourcecode of the rom so roms like Cyanogenmod/Lineage OS or simple AOSP would be possible, that would make many users very happy.

Update 11.03.2017 :

Added "AFWallRemove.zip" to the installation folder. Install it with TWRP as usual to remove the AFWall, had an little error in the ROM that prevented AFWall of being updateable via Playstore. So you can remove it with this zip and make a clean install from Playstore if you want. (No wipe needed! Just install the zip)


Greetings
Zig.

Hallo Ziggi, ein User sagte mir das du auch deutsch schreibst. Ich habe auch so ein Diamont und dies ...

Hi Lugau,

i can make a german version of the Installation Guide on weekend. I might be able to do it sooner but cant guarantee that.

Hi Lugau,

ich kann Dir am Wochenende ne deutsche Version von der Anleitung fertig machen, vielleicht auch schon vorher aber das kann ich nicht versprechen.

Greets
Zig.

Dirty flashed my Umi with the rom you provided, 0 problems so far and it went super smooth the only thing I did was removing systemapp gmail since I use inbox nowadays. I highly recommend everyone to use this over the stock rom

cheers!

Any chance for the clean Marshmallow umi diamond rom?

I think my ROM will be the nearest we will get to clean Marshmallow, i removed anything i could from the rom and replaced it with original google apps... So its at least almost marshmallow.
If Umi release the source of the ROM we could have a 100% clean Marshmallow but without the sources its almost impossible Have asked them for the sources in early January but not even got an response

Ah, I'm gonna give it a try sometime soon. I'd be happy to try your version of the rom since I don't ...

I also dont trust the original ROM, honestly i will not trust anything that umi provides anymore without the full sourcecode.
Smart Wake and also Gesture sensing is still in cause it seems to be in the "clean" part of the SystemUI.

Hi Martin,
you need to open the systemui.apk with an archiver, on windows i use winrar for that .. then you look into the directory asserts in that archive .. there is the spende.zip. You cant simply delete it from there or the rom will not work anymore. But you can create an empty file with exactly the same size, you can do this under windows with the following command "fsutil file createnew <filename> <size in byte>" without the "<>" ...
Then you open that freshly created file with an hexeditor and change the first 3 bytes (3 hex pairs) to the same as the original spende has.
Than you replace the original spende.zip with the one you just created and thats all.. your systemui.apk is clean.
But that is imho not the only file that needs to be fixed or deleted... for example that lovelyfont app for example is called in the boot.img and so on...

Dear Ziggy,
I am an absolute novice in forums. I am doing this for the first time. I do not know how ...

You have to drive your mouse over the lilttle "gear" beside your name and the word "Remind" and a new menu will pop up...

Du musst mit dem Mauspfeil über das kleine Zahnrad oben rechts neben Deinem Namen fahren dann geht ein neues Menu auf, darin findest Du dann "PM" da klickst du drauf..

Greetings
Zig.

Does your ROM solve the problem with "the installation of unknown sources", too?

Hi Ziggy,
I would like to try your suggestion but I have a probelm with the download of
"V7-UMIDiamond-20161208-194714_songlixin_PC.rar".
The file seems to be broken.
The download runs up to 100%, but is not terminated, but after about 5minutes aborted.
Can you please check this?
