Hi, I was wondering if someone figured a way to control that by now. I find it really annoying in EUI as many of the apps that I use on a daily basis get immediately folded there, including messaging apps. It was the case of all EUI based ROMs that I tested until now, but I found it does not happen in Revolution 19s by @Steve Mars (Indian EUI based). All icons are properly shown and I have never seen them fold to a dotted circle. So does anyone know where this is being controlled? Or perhaps we can figure that out by comparing two similar ROM versions with and without this behavior?
EDIT: it's not about this particular ROM, it's switching region to USA that disables notification folding!
Yeee I hate this 3 dots too, but dunno how to change it to normal icons.
Why is this acceptable for everyone? For me it simply makes the system unusable. It's like driving in the dark.

Exactly, I'm puzzled why it gets so little attention on the forums.
I asked and ranted about that months ago, even spoke about it with a support guy from LeEco who told me that they will look into it. doesnt seem like they changed anything, as that circle is a special EUI function they developed.
My Bottomline: EUI? Never again. I'm on a special Mokee version now which works just fine and will never go back. the plus in comfort is so huge, its insane. e.g. the notifications itself as well. that you can work with them easier, expand them if you want to etc.
EUI brought me close to selling this phone. luckily, there are software alternatives now that work!
Edit: Oh, just found it. it was actually me who started a thread about this exact thing in june.

I found EUI too annoying because of this as well and was running on Mokee for a few weeks. I would never look back, but there are some unresolved issues like unstable wifi. Fortunately, with the notification issue not present in the Indian EUI build and after disabling excessive process killing in the hidden menu, I found EUI to be finally usable. I'd still prefer a fully working Mokee though and avoiding all the hassle of making sure Tasker and other background apps work as expected.
There's some kind of solution , although it's a workaround... you can use the app "Status" ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...s.status&hl=de ) to replace the status bar. It's kind of glitchy and has some bugs, but better than nothing...
Easy solution,change region to EEUU.

Wow, how did we miss that! I just tried Other regions and India and they all fold. I switched back to USA and folding is gone again! Thanks a lot!
Can anyone confirm if this works in the newer Chinese-based ROMs or no USA region there?
20s CN - yes, changing the region to US does really the trick.
Thanks a lot!

Thanks you guys. Only had this phone 2 days and that was bugging me already

Does not work
Your suggested fix does not work on my x722 running EUI 5.8.020S. It does work on my x626 running EUI 5.8.018S. So the problem still remains and I assume the "fix" you found is actually a bug in version 5.8.018S and lower OR a bug that only exist in the CN-versions.

I want a rom that fixes the gps on the cross c1. It doesn't work on the one I was sent.
I have ordered the UMI Cross / C1 from iShoppstore and am expecting delivery just after Christmas. I am aware the problems people have had with the Chinese smartphones regarding the Wifi and GPS connectivity but I believe for the most part these are fixable and have been documented elsewhere. So it is with interest that I await to see what problems I will have with mine. I did see some newspaper article that UMI were going to start selling their smartphones in the UK.... http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/business/news/umi-smartphones-to-launch-in-the-uk-29610580.html Not sure if this article is to be taken seriously though.
It would be nice to get the KitKat upgrade for this model though I doubt this will happen any time soon. I am very curious if you have resolved the issues you had with the Cross. Can you let me know how its going for you and what problems you've had as I'm sure my phone will be the same.
Cheers
The GPS is really finicky. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. But, it never has worked throughout a complete trip of more than 10 minutes. I've had several other smartphones before this, some from China, and never had a GPS problem before. I guess it's just my time to experience what others warned me about. Still, I'm hopeful that a rom will be put out in the future that will resolve the GPS problem.
I'm finding the screen is not evenly lit but for me this is not a problem unless I look for it and most of the time you only notice it on a white screen. On Christmas day I spoke to my family using skype using the front facing camera over wifi and it worked flawlessly. Later on we did a test comparing the Sammy S3 and prev gen iPad front facing cameras and the C1 was definitely better. Tested bluetooth to link to home stereo briefly to play music on device, absolutely no problems. There is supposed to be a Yamaha sound chip but I can't make up my mind whether sound is better compared to my Note 1 when playing MP3s.
Call quality is better than my now broken Note 1 for sure and the 2G and 3G I really can't fault. Used the 3G quiet a bit on Christmas day as the house we were visiting did not have wifi and with the exception of some periods downloads were really pretty good. Haven't tested the GPS enough to pass a fair verdict. I did use it when I first got it and it jumped around a bit in Gmaps but I wonder if that was down to the fact I had put my 3G sim in the wrong slot so had no mobile broadband
Finding the phone is quiet slippery and the size adds to the problem so am eagerly awaiting a silicone cover for it. One thing I've noticed is when I turn the phone on the pattern unlock screen is a bit sluggish and I have to re-enter to unlock.
Anyone found any english manuals for this phone?
UMI CROSS
Using this phone since last week, build is just enough, nothing to impress neither to disgrace. I tested this phone for 2 days on stock rom, on stock ROM everything is working as it should but I do have doubts about wifi regarding link dropping. sometimes blurry camera, and just before I made my mind to switch to custom ROM, I did observed some random reboots. then I switched to LEWA OS 5. used it for another 2 days, NFC gone, blurry camera, Large icons. Finally I flashed MIUI, working great since then, still no NFC though. camera a bit improved(I rarely use mobile camera). after using Xposed modules=>app setting with per app dpi. results are impressive. this app really justifies the big screen and gives that most required tablet ui feel to apps. even some battery calibration issues are there, battery still produce awesome results throughout all ROMs. with heavy very usage battery lasted for atleast a day.

Not had any problems at all with Wifi or random rebooting, so maybe I'm just lucky. How does the NFC work is there an app on the phone to use it? Camera in low light is not good at all but a software upgrade should solve that. Will have to have a look at the Xposed Additions in the app store, wasn't aware of it before. Do you have a link for the MIUI rom for the Cross C1?
Overall I have to say I'm happy with the phone too and that big screen is great!

NFC works great but on stock, you can use trigger app. MIUI for c1 don't support NFC for now, as far as WiFi I am not confirm with issue..it may or may not be there..random rebooting started after connecting USB. But solved later by new ROM, camera is real let off for the phone. It may get better by ROM upgrade.
Use needrom for miui ROM with CTR recovery, and xposed 2.4.1, it worked for me...
About size, no one really notices the odd size of the phone. That's does qualify for nice design...
Overall its great for those who want phablet tablet in between.

Have you tried this rom and if so would like to know what you think. I imagine its as efficient as the MIUI5. Can you resize the icons on MIUI5 or can you use Nova launcher to do that. Would like to give the MIUI5 a go but will wait until I come back after holiday as I've more or less got my stock phone the way I want it and everything is working fine. Like you said I don't think the stock rom is very efficient but its fine for now.
Hi everyone. I received this phone in Ireland yesterday from antelife.com,(they have a bad rep, but are UMI official resellers and I had no problem with my order). I have rooted and kept the stock rom, and installed a custom recovery from needrom.com. I also installed xposed and gravity box. I have had no problems other than 3 times now my screen has gone haywire registering rapid phantom screen presses. Battery pulling is the only way to solve this temporarily. Has anyone else got this problem? Also how do we go about setting up an XDA section for our phone?
Thanks,
Teamick5
Touch wood no problems so far with my phone. Not properly tested yet is the GPS or NFC. Happy with the stock rom but am looking to flash a custom rom from needrom but will leave that for another few weeks. What do you think of the sound quality when playing music through headphones, not sure what to make of it? Camera quality especially in low light is pretty poor and in daylight jury is still out. Overall happy with purchase. Bit peeved of to find out warranty is void if not bought through an official retailer, all I can say if this phone goes south I won't be buying a Chinese replacement if they are going to be like that. iShoppstore where I bought mine do say on their website they would give a 1 year warranty so who knows!
Cheers
Tried my headphones today and there is a bug whereby the loudspeaker plays swell and won't auto shut off. Battery life has been excellent, unplugged yesterday morning at 8 and it finally died just after midnight in the pub. That was with constant heavy use all day and data on as I have no WiFi at home. I have also found an lenovo app called "lesafe" running in the background. I cannot enter it, what is it?
negative experience
speaker volume not loud enough and poor high pitch sound.
battery percentage erratic. when at 14% usage very long until 10% (i watched movie 1.5 hrs then 7 hrs standby, it died when i was listening radio and waze gps on). beyond 10% it dropped almost instancely. sometimes after reboot battery shows double!
can get into cwm recovery 1st few times but not anymore.
good points, camera/video, after gps fix very fast lock
yeah there should be a thread on umi cross.

okay, just go to google and copy and paste below

then go to that link>go to the field box on the top to search and paste again and press the button on the right to search, you will get the result and click it and it will take you the website.
So I am hoping it is official release from Umi Cross.
I just got an Umi cross and found some trojans on the device so I want to flash a new rom onto it but I'm not sure what to flash or how
I can't even get into recovery D:
please help!
Hi,
I'd like to ask for help. At the moment, im using Pixel Exprience. It fits me well, but also got some problems, like apps crashing, also got some problems with microphone (my girlfriend gets mad everytime, when I call her and she can't hear me every few seconds) etc.
I am not sure, if better choice will be some good, stable ROM based on Nougat, or I should try other from Oreo?
The device I am using is x820 6/64.
And if it's important, I like to change themes with substratum, maybe it cause app crashes? No idea for other app like that. There was some warning on the app, that "rooted substratum" might cause problems, but I am not so advanced with apps to know any other replacement for this app.
Love black themes with one colored (blue or red etc.) details.
I was thinking about:
Nougat: Silm7, Ressurection Remix
Oreo: Ressurection Remix, PixelRevenge (but its still beta).
Maybe there is some other awesome, stable ROMs, that will fit me?
Waiting for your answears, and thank you for them
I have tried about 10 different custom ROMs on this phone and haven't still found the perfect one, but close to the perfect is AOSIP for me It's superfast, no lags, almost no glitches (Camera app used to crash but I fixed it by installing Open Camera). SOT is also great. I only had some random issues with call sound quality (microphone - outgoing), but now for some days seems I hopefully managed to fix that using India 19s modem firmware (I have X829 phone). So you can try it too. But to be honest all the roms (especially Android 7.1 and Oreo) has issues with call sound quality. Maybe It's some hardware problem with only my phone.

Maybe is Le Max 2 problem, because my mic (outgoing) also have problems. I hold phone all the time the same way, and my girlfriend once hear me, once not, like I am blocking the microphone with my hand.
Is it possible for you, to attach links for those ROMs? I am at work currently, and after I come back to home I wish to start changing ROM.
Yeah I got exactly the same problem. People randomly couldn't hear me, like I am blocking microphone.

It should definitely fit. Just check if you have really flashed it after flashing (in System-About phone tab it should show Baseband version MPSS.TH.2.0.c1.9-00033 ).

Wonderfull, I'll try it in next 5 hours, hope it will fit me well! I'll respond here, after doing it
Yup. It is much smoother, but it not translated 100% in Polish laungange. It's not problem for me tho. Going to test it more.
I am waiting for few more updates and than will try RR Oreo. Have experience with AOISP and AICP, never measured Antutu score nor battery, I charge it often, keeping between 40-90%, but deal breaker with AOISP is that during call i could hardly hear anything ,also , person i would be talking to, coud not hear me well either, it is better on AICP.
sinc eI got phone recently , only use Oreo Roms.
Slim7 very good. Zero problem.

Hey! How are your tests? Do you still have problem with incoming sound on calls with India modem 19s?
I am testing also RR 6 rom. Seems also not bad, only SOT is worse than on AOSIP. Call sound quality might be even better.
Noob question
So, I m noob in this.
I Have and Leeco Max 2(x820) with original ROM.
I want to upgrade my Leeco, but in all threats I have some issues about every rom.
I know that always have some bugs, but, some of them are really uncomfortable like Front camera reboot phone, any others.
I what know, what I win with change a rom, and what are the rom more stable for my case.
Camera, bluetooth, QC are indispensable.
You should try like Official LineageOS CM-14.1 (7.1.2), most of android 7 will be stable, especially the official ones.

This isn't a damaged light sensor issue, it it is an annoying "feature" of eui for which there is no toggle. It's a more extreme version of the auto-contrast adjustment feature that used to annoy everyone in Lineage Oreo. As far as I know there's nothing that can be done about it, although it is less noticeable if you maximize screen brightness.

Oh thank you so much to answer me. So there is nothing wrong with my hardware and all EUI issues face with this problem?.. There are lots of developer that make amazing things for our phone. I'm sure they'd help us to switch this off.. Because when this is on it's not possible to view an image with its true colors.. You can imagine how is it annoying while using camera app..
Yes, I also wish someone could turn off this annoying feature of eui. It looks horrible. If anyone can help us it's probably @arielaco or @CrisBalGreece but it doesn't seem like anyone is interested in modding eui nowadays. Understandable that most devs are focused on 9.0 Pie ROMs rather than ancient MM eui, and there are some very good O and P ROMs, but some small issues (eg microphone) and poor battery life usually bring me back to eui.

Yeah, always been an issue with every version of eui that I have used over the last two years, though it's usually only when outside in bright sunlight. I even asked @Cuoco92 to try and fix it, but nothing came of it. And as I said, even Lineage 15.1 had a similar auto-contrast bug at first. But I think @ThE_MarD was able to fix it, or maybe Lineage did upstream.

I fixed it for custom ROMs which is what I work on... Plus, LeEco have a different implementation than custom ROMs, so it could be any LeEco added app or binary... I also don't really work on EUI ROM as I always have my hands full with LineageOS and family stuff, etc so I don't want to stretch myself thin and try too much at once.
I'd recommend searching your device for any PPD binary or anything that seems to do with post processing as any of those could be causing the issue and then try to delete them one at a time. Worst case if EUI ROM crashes? Just reinstall it and it'll restore itself.
Worst case scenario you still can't find a fix? I'd recommend repairing your hardware.

Would be good if this menu can be customized in the global ROM too
anyway, i'll switch to xiaomi.eu once my bootloader is unlocked, this rom includes all china beta features as well.
What's the main difference from Global Beta?

Hi Justintime,
i'll just copy the text from another forum:
China Build (CN)
The China Build doesn't contain Google Apps and Services (GAPPS) and contains some Chinese apps and services, which according to some is called bloatware, but for Chinese people those are actually very useful. The problem of not having GAPPS can be easily solved by heading to this thread:Find all the Google Apps in Google installer! Just install the app then in it contains all the Google apps, Google Service Frameworks, Google Account Manager and Google Play Services necessary for you to use it as a full fledged normal Android phone. China ROMs usually comes with more features than Global ROMs, as they have no conflicting copyrights issues and have less restrictions than the Global market. There will be certain elements of Chinese within, as translation work might not be absolutely complete for certain parts of the ROM. Also, Google integration via installation through applications might be imperfect and could cause issues.
Global Build (MI)
Preferred by most global users, this build comes with full GAPPS without the Chinese apps and services. Usually updated at a later period than the China build, the Global Build comes with English as the default language, with multilanguages for certain devices. In exchange for full GAPPS, users lose some features such as online music and Xunlei download accelerator, but gains some more usable storage space. The Global Build usually comes with only Stable ROMs, but the Redmi 1S is the first devices to receive a Global Developer Build. Today, nearly every internationally-launched device by Xiaomi has a Global Developer ROM. You get a native GAPPS integration, but loses on some functionalities, still a pretty good trade-off for many as installing GAPPS on a China ROM might still give problems with use of Google services. The other significant benefit over the China ROM is the language packs within (which is one of the reasons MIUI Global ROMs are usually bigger in size than MIUI China ROMs), which is great as many prefer their native tongue over English.
to tell you simple: xiaomi.eu rom combines all advatages of both roms in one
Any rumors about a US release date?

Any rumors about a US release date?

There won't be.
Just curious, was debating picking up the Explorer Edition from Giztop, but will it's slightly different hardware cause problems for custom ROM's etc?
I got my Transparent version (Explorer Edition) yesterday. I had to go get a new sim card because the sim card holder in my S7 is broken and won't open. Cricket was a nightmare to deal with and tried to tell me the phone won't work with US carriers. They also kept telling me the IMIE was one short, which a quick google search (while at the store) explained to me, we had to look it up via the dialer and not in the settings screens. After that drama, I had to move everything over manually from the S7 as it didn't have GAPPS and didn't auto sync from the S7. So far like the phone, but am not a big fan of MIUI. I requested it be unlocked and now have to wait a boatload of time before I can remove the ROM that came with it. It sucks that the AI button is going to be useless for a while.
Nova launcher is working great though so far. I am not a big fan of how the notification bar works (I think I would like a two row option, lol) and for some reason gmail notification doesn't include the subject line. I also am mississing having the middle button at the bottom (of the screen) to wake the phone up. It's nice that they provided a case, but I wish it wasn't dark tint as it hides the cool back side of the Explorer Edition and I also would wish it was thick enough so the camera didn't stick out a little. If anyone has found a good clear TPU type case that is thicker, please do share/tell. Last, I am going to miss the notification light changing colors like it does on the S7, but overall its an awesome phone.

even after unlocking bootloader (2 weeks, so mid-April) there still wont be any Custom ROMS available for this phone (except for the slight variations of the MIUI Official\EU\China Firmware) ..I would suspect nice Roms like Syberia will come in June at soonest.. maybe even July.
I myself also bought my mi9 WAYY too early and now regret it.. Should have waited a few more months when Development starts and I also may have gotten it cheaper later
(I installed Syberia on my Mix 2 immediately after getting it and unlocking it -which I also bought for just 249 a year ago- because the phone was already out many months.. I wont be able to do that with mi9 ;-(

Whilst there aren't many custom roms, it's still cool to be able to root and install Magisk, along with xposed too! You can tweak quite a bit with this, adblock, viper4android, substratum theme, debloat etc
Development is fun and believe me I miss it too, but we get weekly updates from roms like the EU rom, which has additional features and debloated too.
Give it a chance. Definitely early days, but we already have a great gcam port and whilst not many roms, it's just a matter of time surely
Which of the kernals are you running?

hmm, the ROM doesn't have spam blocking built in? I thought that was part of base Android for a while now? NM, looks like I found it. Not sure how good it will work in the USA. lol

Chrome has some basic ad blocking but nothing as good as using Adaway
Sorry, I was referring for robocalls and spam calls.

Ah I see!
I miss Google dialer for that, with caller ID or detecting spam
I am probably one of the only people that liked the Samsung dialer (lol). You can still use the Google dialer, I found an apk here on xda that works with our Mi9 EE. I never used that, I like a dialer that opens with the dialer screen, which is appears the Google one doesn't.

Thanks yeah, I like the Google dialer too but for the reason you mentioned I'm not as keen, plus with the MIUI dialer I like the inbuilt call recorder
There was a brief thread for the ROM in the ROMs section that was promptly closed. I don't know if it will come back anytime soon, because I'm not sure if the dev even understands why his thread was closed, and I haven't made any effort to discuss it with him. It was enough to get me curious, though, so I Googled it, and it's fantastic. I highly recommend checking this ROM out, even though you will have to go through Twitter or telegram to get support. I haven't found any major bugs, and the fingerprint reader works better than all of the other non-stock ROMs for me. The only thing I ran into is that it comes with AOSP dialer and I wanted to use Google's Phone app, but it won't install. I had the same issue with MiUI. I was able to use the patched APK from XDA, though, so I think I'm good.
cause it has apps that wants payments as bloatware

I haven't seen anything other than stock Google and AOSP apps, but maybe you noticed something I didn't?
I installed it it's kinda good with the additional improvements but whenever i lock my phone and put it for 5 min it reboots randomly for nothing, i did a clean instal with the right vendor anf firmware im only getting this issue on REVOS so i went back to derpfest

Huh, that's interesting. The only problem I've had with it is my email app (Spark) kept crashing, but I guess it was the app, because they updated it yesterday, and now it isn't crashing.
How is the FP on derpfest?

Tho i found where the issue was, i was using LKT a magisk module to improve the battery i guess it's not compatible with it's kernel.
Found i bug u can't share a picture from the gallery or an mp3 file from mixplorer or any file manager to the messenger app it's the only rom with this bug
For the fp it was better in january build now it's getting worse after every update and it work 1/10 outside in the sun so kinda not the best

Tottally agree! It used to be a copy of miuipro. And now is a king of miui eu with YouTube Vanved and micro g embebbed.
Don't thing that is the kind of dev we should support.
Lol I'm not suggesting anyone give him any money. I just liked the ROM and it worked great when most of the ROMs have some sort of issues that irritated me. Now I'm running ColtOS.

I´m not mentioning you, mate! Sorry! I'm talking about users in general, because this dev never really created a rom. Always cloned others.

No problem. I don't know anything about the guy or his past releases. I'm a flashaholic. Since my last post I've moved on to Titanium OS. It's great to have a phone with so many developers!
After trying this for a while this is my review:
Rom is very smooth but Android Auto doesn't seem to work. Fingerprint it's nice for me (I think the FOD is the problem of this phone no matter what ROM do you use), but it doesn't have facial unlock so it's a bit annoying when fingerprint doesn't want to work. Apart from that it doesn't have long press to kill apps.
Anyway it's a good ROM for daily driver if you don't need those features and has a lot of customization options!

What is this, and why are you posting it here?
I've used this ROM for a while but switched to MSM Extended. I had some issues with RevOS after the OTA update and missed some configurability.
