Is there any chance to install a custom rom on UMIDGI F1? because the stock rom is full of bugs.

Here's a better comparison - screenshot and photo of the same scene

Hi,
It's a known issue of the camera and the developers are already working on the solution. Please wait for the next update.

So, as someone who's not rooted before (but it now appears can...)

a) What are the major benefits o ...

a) You can install custom system software and alter certain core components. You can do things like ad blocking on a system level, so you don't have an app running to drain your battery while doing it. You can add the Camera2 API if the phone doesn't already have it, which does allow you to use Gcam. I'll try to get this going and let you know about it. I am also a fan of Titanium Backup, which can help you backup and restore data on specific individual apps, so you can forget about manually transferring over your settings. It can also disable some of the annoying MediaTek bloatware that has a greyed out disable button in Settings  (though I believe this can be achieved through adb). Also, most things that require you to use adb to give them permission can be done automatically if you're rooted. You can get fully automated updates for F-Droid, a cool open source only app store that also supports custom repositories. DAC enhancements like ViperFX4Android can let you fine tune the audio coming out of your headphone jack. If you don't mind breaking SafetyNet and most banking apps and lots of games, you can install Xposed Framework and customize everything on your phone. Theorhetically, you should be able to get custom themes for all of your favorite apps with Substratum, but I tried that earlier and it didn't work (I think it requires Magisk 18+). Or you can forget about all of that and install some extreme power saving enhancements to make your phone performant when your using it, and power sipping when you're not. This thing might last a week with the right power saving tricks and that huge battery... ;)

Woah, that's a lot.... And I probably couldn't really cover everything anyway.
b) Yeah I guess I can do that.

The new Magisk beta (v19.0) does root this phone on the latest update. Sweet! Modern Magisk!

Magisk v 19.0 working...

ROOT SUCCESS !

by using Magisk 17.3

Thanks to Ghost45 for porting TWRP and Xvm for the encryption advice above (and my wife for the suggestion to try an older version of Magisk) I am now successfully rooted!

After much trial and error, the process that worked for me is as follows:


Note: Whenever starting phone, skip through all the google setup stuff to save time and don't use any locking (pattern, fingerprint, etc) until phone has been rooted.

Must have drivers, SP Flash Tool, adb and fastboot installed on PC

Download "Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt" from  https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389
Download "Magisk 17.3" from  https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v17.3/Magisk-v17.3.zip
put both of those on SD card

Become Developer by many taps on Build Number
In Developer Options, enable Allow OEM unlock, enable USB debugging

Connect phone to PC, use command prompt to:
adb devices   (to check phone is connected)
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flashing unlock
press VOL UP to unlock bootloader
fastboot reboot

Shutdown phone, and use SP Flash Tool to flash TWRP from the first post in this thread

Unplug phone
Boot into TWRP by holding VOL UP and pressing POWER

Wipe Data Partition

Go to Install, click Select Storage
Internal storage should show as something like 112000mb

If internal storage shows as 0mb then go back to Wipe > Advanced Wipe
Select Data partition, click Repair or Change File System > Change File System. Change it to ExFAT then change it back again to EXT4

Go to Install
Install "Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt"

Reboot System, go to phone settings, Encryption should now say that phone is not encrypted

Boot back into TWRP
Mount Vendor and System partitions (Data partition should already be ticked)

Go to Install
Install "Magisk 17.3"

Reboot system
install Magisk Manager 6.0.1 from:
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/manager-v6.0.1/MagiskManager-v6.0.1.apk


You should now be rooted, you can check with a root checker app.

xvm

USB doesn't work in this recovery. Also the microSD card is recognized as Storage 1 (/auto0-1) instead of the normal /external-sd.

Also, as the people above said, flashing Magisk through this doesn't really seem to work. Has anyone managed to get this phone rooted? I tried through fastboot and Magisk Manager as well to no avail. Maybe I'll try SPFT when I have more time to mess with this phone.

Also, if anyone is looking for a way to disable encryption, formatting data, then rebooting to TWRP and installing this zip worked for me: https://forum.xda-developers.com ... rceencrypt-t3817389

so it doesn't support decrypt ?EDIT: i assume it does not. also it supposed to use system as root info while your twrp does not =)

fastboot does not work for me, until the reboot with adb is ok but then it always tells me about the device

Have you enabled "Allow OEM unlock" in developer options?
