Hello XDA!
I don't know if it's just my phone, but in every 8.1 ROM that I used the fingerprint scanner works very slow compared to MIUI ROMs. I know that there's some Magisk module, but it doesn't make any difference.
What shall I do? Which ROM makes the scanner to work the fastest?

Hi, does anyone know what files is the fingerprint scanner dependent on in CM7 and MIUI.
I am currently on MIUI 7 global stable and want to flash CM13. Can you please guide me to which are the options I have currently for :
- Good calls and call volume (I use 3G only..no LTE)
- Bluetooth pairing and music through bluetooth headphones
- Working Camera
- Fingerprint (I have a FPC102..checked via AIDA64)
No offense but I saw most of the devs mentioning in the bugs section "You Tell" but there are some ifs and buts..
I already have TWRP flashed..
Most of you might have already tried all the ROMS..hence asking your opinion..thank you dear friends and the wonderful devs
Official CM13 has almost no problems for me (I say almost because I haven't encountered any that haven't been fixed in a day or two). Fingerprint is faster than MIUI tbh. Must be because fingerprint is baked-in in android marshmallow. Don't have to bother with MIUI force closing apps (torrent apps always closed after some time in MIUI) . Multitasking is great! With MIUI my phone felt like a 1.5 GB phone with its aggressive memory handling. Regarding camera the camera quality may have degraded slightly or it may just be placebo. But the MIUI camera app is definitely nicer and faster. That's the only thing I'm missing from MIUI. Some people have problems like fingerprint not working (even if Aida show FPC102), battery always stuck at 2% or 50%, led not working etc with official Cm13 but none of those problems for me . So stability would probably depend upon your luck.
I haven't tried Santosh's CM13 as it is said to lock bootloader again. I have tried resurrection remix but some bugs like recent apps showing even Android system (which has been present since resurrection lollipop in all devices. It doesnt hinder much but Android system is not supposed to show in recent apps. To understand what I'm talking about, when you open say a YouTube link it shows menu for which app you would like to open the link with and even that will be present in the recent apps.) and data not working ( data may be fixed by now though). I haven't tried other because Official one satisfied me very much.
Try the official one for once and see if you have any bugs. If not restore MIUI. MIUI 8 is coming and it seems it has some cool features but nothing to bring me back to MIUI.
Hi y'all,
Should be receiving my X829 from Banggood tomorrow, and trying to figure out what to do re: firmware. I'm a bit wary of the custom roms since it seems like each rom has its share of serious issues. I was going to go with small EUI, but apparently it now has bootloop problems?
Anyway, in the absence of a reliable custom rom, all I really want to do is a debloat of any spyware (including here apps that upload "market research data"). Are there any debloating guides floating around?
I've read that EUI has fine grained control of app permissions. Does this include being able to restrict app internet access, and does this control extend to the LeEco apps and other bloatware installed on the phone by default?
I have not seen a good debloat guide but I'm sure your x829 is going to come with some sort of vendor ROM already ( US? ) .
I just wanted to comment on the stability of all the LOS 13, AOKP, and RR builds ( MM ), I would say are all stable and ready for every day use. Some of the N builds are excellent and just waiting for LeEco to release N . :good:

My impression was that even if they are stable, they are missing some substantial functionality? VoLTE seems to be a problem for most roms (though it's fixed in some), none of the Nougat roms seem to have the cameras working (a significant issue that would prevent me from considering such roms functional, let alone excellent), and (all?) of the non-EUI based roms require the use of a certain camera app to get camera functionality?
I'd very much like to be informed I'm wrong haha!

There is a VoLTE patch floating around, my carrier doesn't support it so I haven't used it.... The camera issues have been solved in most MM builds, but not N builds. The FooteJ camera app work around was just a temp way around the problem that persisted, but now I use it in place of stock because I liked it so much
My suggestion is to try them. Super easy to unlock/root/add custom recovery, Especially if your looking for a smooth clean OS.
EUI is packed with bloat and ad on , I don't like it.
There are 6 apps on chinese 23s rom. I don't use them and they don't cause any issues. They are in my app draw as I use nova launcher so don't see them.
I tried most of custom roms but find stock more stable and it works OK apart from Gmail notification but I use BlueMail from playstore which works perfect. No real need to de bloat to be honest.

So I got my Banggood X829. As far as I can tell, there are no chinese apps, and only two leeco apps: LIVE and My LeEco. All the GApps are there as the default. Everything worked out of the box, so I've just decided to restrict the permissions of the LeEco apps, and installed Nova.
The launcher was bad (no app drawer!, ughh), but the other aspects of EUI are pretty nice. In particular, the the app switching button on default Android is an incredible waste of space that's hard to navigate through. The way it's implemented in EUI is both more user friendly, and putting media and settings shortcuts there is a more efficient use of space than stock.
I imagine there'll be no OTA updates, so I think I'll just stick with stock EUI until someone gets a Nougat ROM with the camera working.
Won't be any updates on that vendor rom if same as mine from Banggood. The updater app was removed on mine. Got rid of it for a newer stock rom immediately.
I recently bought a Umidigi X from AliExpress and I ran into a small problem. The in screen fingerprint sensor only works for unlocking the phone. Can't use it for app authentication. Am I just missing something or is it a feature that hasn't been implemented yet for the in screen style?
Same problem here.
Answer from Umidigi support (october 12, 2019):
Hi,
Sorry for your inconvenience.
This is a known problem and it will be fixed in the next update, the release time of the new update maybe this end of Oct.
Regards
UMIDIGI
Have any one try to flash the actual official SPFLashTool package ROM ?
I have do a try, and the phone cannot be turn on at all
Same problem with the fingerprint scanner. Received update 10/25/19 and problem still exists... I filed a dispute with ali express and received a partial refund.
Yeah same here with it not working. It definitely works better on the lock screen, before I was getting about a 95% failure rate but now it works almost every time. So they fixed some things but didn't fix the app authentication problem. Hopefully in the next update. I really like the phone besides just a few bugs that could be solved with updates or hopefully some good custom roms.

Umidigi reaction today: Dear，we will push new version the problem this week. Our colleauge told you the wrong time ,so sorry for unpleasant. hope you can wait for more several days.
My reaction: We'll see if the fingerprint problem is solved this week.
I have the same problem, got the updates but still doesn't work.
It is working now! Tested on two Umidigi X with PayPal app and Cortal Consors app.
Umidigi X 11/13 partially fixed inscreen fingerprint issue with third party apps
Tested new update 11/13 on my UMIDIGI X. It's working partially. Looks like Android Phone Security module doesn't wake the in screen fingerprint sensor and any apps using this still don't work... Few of many apps that still do not work with inscreen fingerprint are Expense Manager, Dunkin Donuts, FiOS, Bank of America, Bluebird by AMEX, etc.
Another Update???
So i have UMIDIGI_X_V1.0_20190912_20191113-1521. If i am reading this correctly it's the 11/13 update. If so has anyone had success in getting the sensor to work for apps? If so how, and which ones? I got the prompt to ask me if i want to use the fingerint sensor on my Banking apps. But nothing happens when i press it. Like was said up here it looks like Android Phone Security module doesn't wake the in screen fingerprint sensor.
Any solutions?
THANKS IN ADVANCE.
I have the same problem and I just got my phone yesterday. When any App asks to press the fingerprint scanner now, the in screen scanner does not react. The phone unlocks with the scanner fine but when within any App, the in screen scanner does not seem to be activated. This is my 3rd Umidigi phone and this is really disappointing. I have so many apps and I cannot remember all of the password. IF this is not fixed, the phone will not be fit for use. Umidigi, please fix this quickly!!

Actually my banking app is working with the fingerprint scanner now. For about 2 weeks.
Hi,
I tried using the search functionality, but all the threads I've found are either dated or irrelevant.
I'm currently using the PE10+ ROM, but a few bugs got me looking to change.
I'm looking for a stable daily driver, hopefully with gcam incorporated, but I can flash it later.
I do use banking apps like gpay, and don't plan on rooting the device.
I've been thinking about LOS, but let me know what you think, and whether or not it supports banking apps
Kind regards.
you can use miui eu its preety neat and bloat free. Have been using it for more than 18 months feels solid.

Thanks for the reply!
I tried MIUI for a while when I just got the device, but it had bugs that really annoyed me:
1. I keep my phone on vibrate during the day, but during the nights i set it to DND on a timer (after so and so hours it comes out of DND). On MIUI, it never came back to vibrate, but rather switched to ringing on a low volume setting.
2. If I listened to FM radio, and got a Whatsapp alert, the FM radio would mute, and never come back. I had to kill the app and open it again.

FM I haven't used in years so I cannot comment on that. I am using MIUI 12 eu rom. I don't face the vibrate issue you are facing. Night mode works flawlessly for me.
You can try Havoc & Evolution X. Both of them support banking apps without root.
You can use Pixel Experience for banking accounts, but I think you'll still have to use magisk hide thus be rooted. Best option is to relock bootloader after installing the stock rom and stock recovery.
Try Oxygen OS it's really good in battery backup and touch response and sound with mono audio , with gcam( have to flash though but working good ) , ambient display with pulse notification and video enhancing alll are good man it's worth a try !
Banking apps supprts in some versions and in some don't ! In my rom g pay and p pe half working , can open check balance and receive but can't able to send so I'm using paytm bank and it's working flawless .
If other than Oxygen os i suggest to go for evolution and PE with 10+ version .. it's awesome and can be your regular driver . Hope you likes one of them . Have a good poco exp
