I do not understand how UMI release the: Super V3.02_20161121 ROM - SPFT release?
Next Saturday is supposed to release for our SUPER UMI the Android 7 NOUGAT.
What is the use of installing this update of Android 6?
Also how have they been able to do this update and have not been able to release the promised Nougat BETA?
I do not understand anything.....

I hope do not deceive us and this Saturday release the Android 7 Nougat and enjoy all of our excellent UMI SUPER.

Thanks

Hi,

The development team decide to release this update, this update improve the touchscreen sensibility, battery consumption and speed increasment.

24 December the Android 7.0 will be released via OTA.

If you're not interested for updating the current version of Android don't do the update.

You are free to choose.

Of course I free to choose and do not install the update if I do not want to.
My thinking is that 7 days after the release of the Nougat as they have developed an update for Android 6 and have not released the beta for their test.

Hi
The beta version for umi super wasn't released. There was plan to release beta version.
Now we waiting for official full android 7.0 Firmware which should be done in 24.12.2016.
Every update is for improve some small hardware issues/differences. That why on some devices you could not see differences after update.
As you know first version of new ROM could have some small issues too and probably needs to be improved in future that why some users could decide staying with older ROM to avoid some disappointment and wait for complete improved stock ROM.

Hi.

I want to inform you that the ROM and the ROM parts like Kernel ecc... Are owned by Mediatek ©.
Mediatek is not respecting the GPL, GNU... Because it's not sharing to us the source code. That's why it is very difficult for us (developer) to build a ROM for Mediatek© device.

UMI as company have the source code but it can't share to us the source code for that reason.
However UMI's ROM are not AOSP.

Sincerely, Lorence

But - Of all Android phones I've owned, the UMi stock ROM is closer to "Pure Android" than any other. I guess that's one reason for making Nougat available to us relatively fast. Not much of factory installed bloat to make compatible.

How is the NOUGAT?

24th December UMI will announce the new firmware, but I think that they will not give to us a OTA update.
So prepare your phone for the SPFT update.

Well call me coward but I will wait with the nougat rom. Apart for some minor bugs my super is running OK. Let somebody else be the guinea pig.
