Hey ! I just received a Umidigi S from gearbest.. I've been using it for about an hour and I'm having a nerve crack.. I just downloaded some apps from google play like facebook , messenger , youtube etc.. and once I tried to write my password it kept switching to home screen or showing me the memory usage . I tried to change permissions for some of them but it it did't work. While I was on youtube , after of some seconds it stopped again. I tried  factory reset, but still the same . Could anyone help me ? Thanks in advance!

Hello

I purchased this telephone in AliExpress 3 months ago
At the beginning I was so glad of obtaining this model after LG D325, but happy obtaining didn't lasted no so long

Firstly hang-ups and freeze-ups appeared
The error "Application fault" became permanent
After that not not all reboots finished with succes ("Eternal" Androind message)

The phone is completely with up-to-date software
The hard reset DOESN'T WORK
Now I want to replace to new one ONLY

Please, give advise for this case

Thanks,
Oleg

Hey guys, does anyone know if the Umidigi S model with 6GB RAM (2018 model?) is dual channel 1600mhz?

----

According to the MediaTek website the Helio P20 (MT6757) supports the following:

Memory Frequency: 2x LPDDR4(X) up to 1600MHz, 1x LPDDR3 up to 933MHz.
Max Memory Size: LPDDR4(X) up to 6GB, LPDDR3 up to 4GB.


According to Wikipedia the chip commonly comes with two setups:

32-bit dual-channel 1600 MHz LPDDR4x (25.6 GB/sec, up to 6GB) or
32-bit single-channel 933 MHz LPDDR3 (7.45 GB/sec, up to 4GB).


If the Umidigi S 6GB has dual channel 1600mhz RAM it will beat my current Lenovo P90 Pro.
The Lenovo P90 Pro is running 4GB dual channel LPDDR3 1600mhz.

----

Here I found two websites for hardware analysis:

https://www.pdevice.com/product/umidigi-s-price-specs
https://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/db67447e

The first site I can see the 2017 model (4GB) is using LPDDR3 933mhz.

----

Can anyone confirm the RAM specs please, also I think the 6GB model should be called S Pro, if it has DC 1600mhz.

As a preperation before purchase (I got bored), I downloaded the latest firmware for the phone, to deodex and debloat it.
The interesting thing is there is no official source for the original ROM for this device, at least not on Umidigi.

Regardless I managed to get the required zip file, to be used with SP tools, which is here:

https://www.getdroidtips.com/install-official-stock-rom-umidigi-s/


They have done some cleaning already, and I can confirm the following:

ro.build.version.sdk=24
ro.build.version.release=7.0

ro.product.cpu.abi=arm64-v8a << Primary is x64.
ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi-v7a << Secondary is x86 (missing from the prop, add it).


Is there a higher version than 7.0 for this specific device? If so is there a valid source?

Also, after some reading on the stock firmware, there is a fair solution to third party apps and stock apps while maintaining a theme (more on themes later) or UI.

If you produced a system or app (lets call it "system default app handler" or "SDAP") that handles app defaults with an automated disable system, this would allow you to build a firmware with stock apps and additional apps.
The stock apps would be kept in "app" and "priv-app" and all other vendor apps made to be installed via "preload", allowing for removal and-or replacement of the app, a device wipe-reset will re-install them.

You may need to program the app to allow certain vendor signed "preload" apps to act as if they where in "app" or "priv-app", it's probably better to make them just installable as third party.

The SDAP will need to override the current "activity" shortcut, this allows the user to manage app defaults, and when a new default app is selected, all other apps get disabled.
If the current default app is disabled or uninstalled by the user, the SDAP will switch to the previously selected, next in list, or stock app.

In the event the device must be wiped or reset the SDAP will need defaults, which initially will be vendor based.

----

Themes:

Is is possible to design a system UI that allows the user to change the system wide theme, for example make the phone look like another version, by choice.
A good feature would be to make the system menu look like say Andoid 6, or custom, and the home screen say Android 7, or custom.

The app should have access to a store where users can generate thier own themes and submit them.

Thanks. It seems I got myself muddled with the "Plus E" model, I have another question, since they have almost the same parts can I "port" the android 7 x64 from the S ROM onto Plus E ?
