If you release the source code UMIDIGI or mediatek, it would be a great favor. Because thanks to the M.A.D team we could have Android 7.1.2 and a great user experience. (personal experience). I will try to ask Mediatek this request and not only in this forum.

\n\nGuys, you can try this one out for 6.0. Its from the new Ulefone gemini pro wich has the exact same specs as us. Only bug for me that i found is the lockscreen. Sometimes when i try to unlock phone either a white or black screen appears. After a few times pressing unlock key it gets to normal. Other than that we have more options in Definitions and much more I will try to see.

Gonna post here the feedback has i find something:
- Wifi signal is way better and does not drop as much on weak signals;
- Phone still goes hot, but not has hot as before with official UMIDIGI software;
- Launcher does not give any of those micro stutters anymore while scrolling;
- Battery life is way better, i'm really impressed in this point;
- Camera quality is somehow better too.

I'm going back to umidigi software only because the lockscreen bug anoys me. Other than that, I will be waiting for Nougat on Ulefone behalf. Hopping that a rival company can support more than my device brand. Shame!

TThis is very interesting. I'm currently having problems with Google Play Store not opening since installing the 7.1.1.

Will look to try the Ulefone Rom this evening.

I think the matter is a bit less complicated than it seems. Basically as correctly mentioned there are several parties involved. UMI and Mediatek. Now what happens is that UMI together with the SOCs  and perhaps even other things from Mediatek, got some software, the SDK, to integrate the chips as well as the kernel tree for these and other SOCs'. Basically all the rest boils down to money. Due to the reduced prices of the UMI phones, I highly doubt they attribute royalties to google for officially distributing their phones with android, and in these lines, probably they opted out from similar royalties for being able to distribute the mediatek sources in their final product. Basically in the first case they can afford to be illegal and skip the google royalties, due to being, ... well, ... China. For the latter case, they could just simply skip the sources redistribution, by having a bunch of users (us) asking for them, and never get them. Two months since release and there are already two more flagships swiftly announced and released, and by end of year all that will be history. Realistically speaking, the best chances would be with an unexpected coincidence, such as the ulephone (which is surprisingly similar, perhaps cloned) indeed.
