UMI eMAX lollipop discussion

holzi1991

Well I'm still trying to compile a working 32 bit Lollipop from the Lenovo K3 source code that I could port to our eMax, but I dont have any programming skills, nor a Lenovo K3, nor do I know wether the source code is complete or if this can even work.

Personally, I prefer rather whether that UMI makes a ROM lollipop, that to see coming a custom rom, even though they are often better , I would be consoled to see that UMI have a good response to this customers, and that I can spend my next purchase for this brand...

many of us look for the one that stands out with these cheap criteria, good products, good technology, and  good product support in the time (not 6 month...)

I'd rather recommend you to play with Witcher 3 on your PC, but if you prefer playing with lollipop codes, that's still OK of course.

That reminds mehr, that I still have not played the first DLC.

So... I guess the discussion is done? No new news from Umi bencebacsi? I guess we gotta wait till next year around this time for when Mediatek will release the source for our beloved 6752..

Holzi. If you would like to send me the source you've been working on. I can try and continue to work on it. I'm just not sure if a 64bit phone will be able to run 32bit (it should but.. Not 100% sure)

No news about eMAX lollipop from UMI. I can't even get an answer about this anymore. This situation is more than awkward since
1. this phone has a 64-bit processor built-in, abviously designed for Android lollpipo or newer systems
2. this phone is still being sold by resellers
3. this device is still the highest performance smartphone in UMI's portfolio but the only one running the old kiktak system.

I don't understand your concern about 32-bit sourcecodes since the running kitkat still contains 32-bit codes.

I dont think that UMI abandons the update , it may be complicated, but I really think it will come , how to retain customers differently?

We must be patient...

I don't think UMI is actively develop 5.1 for eMax. They are just pretend to be developing 5.1 for eMax to give fake hope to customers to support sales team to reach their sales goal. As soon as eMax will be out of stock, they will announce UMI eMax will not get 5.0 or 5.1. UMI is just fooling their customers. I don't think I'll buy any other UMI product again.

It would not be a good strategy ... I find the Emax very well and I am satisfied, I have already said , apart from the camera and the Rom kitkat , it is perfect !

To buy a UMI, we can not say wrong , these products have good qualities and good technologies. Moreover cheap and good. Now it is sure that what hinders me is to see that this update to lollipop is announced in the specifications, and everywhere on sales sites , and if the latter does not come into it will slow more than one!

@J.NawHere is some source code for similar devices:

Lenovo K3:

Lenovo A7000:
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds102637

lenovo A7000+:
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds104487

But I guess, if it were easy to port something like this to a KitKat MTK6752 device, someone would have already done that.
