Nabi makes a giant touchscreen which I would like to use for a unity3d project. It's called the big tab 24. It comes with kit kat 4.4. and on top runs it's own OS for kids.
nabi.com has information about the tablet -- I am unable to post a link because I'm new to the forum.
I need some sound features that exist only in lollipop 5.1 for my project.
How would I update a device like this to lollipop 5.1?
Would I need to root it? I am a complete noob at android having previously only worked on IOS.

A 5.1.1 official or custom rom has to available for the device first, otherwise it won't be possible
Flyme 7 Coming to Older Phones Like Meizu PRO 5.. to see click here :fingers-crossed:
It's good news, currently only 4.7% of mobile phones have Oreo.
The trouble is until Flyme gets stable
And if there are new drivers maybe someone (@faust93) is able to port it to Resurrection Remix 6, which is still in beta on most phones
You just have to wait and all the pieces are put together
They just released the Meizu 15 with Android 7.1.2. and Flyme OS 7, does not even come with Oreo.
I'm very disappointed!
Meizu is one year behind in the design and software of its mobile phones. They pass the fashions without offering anything.
I expected them to catch up, but nothing. He's going to win a bad name forever.
They will end up putting the sign closed for vacations, which we already know what it means.
Above, they do not pay Google for having Google Play well. The International Version is a fake, they aren't Certified
And they also have blocked the bootloader so you can not install any ROM (there are none in the Meizu Pro 6, Pro 7).
My next mobile will not be a Meizu is clear. In 2015, they competed with Xiaomi, I thought that they would get over them but they have chosen very bad strategies, such as making several versions (China, the International), moving away from Google, problems with apps, very similar designs for all their phones, prices that are too high compared to the competition , many software failures in Flyme, without Android updates ...
Luckily I have it with RR and Android 7.1.2 (in 3G and without finger print but this does not matter at all). And I'm happy with him !!
You do not need another Android if you have it well customized (Substratum, Exposed, Magisk Manager ..).
But it would be cool to have RR with Oreo..
Flyme 7 is out since 22.04.18 and IS NOT BASED on Oreo
It's again based on Nougat 7.0
I've tried 7.8.4.22 A, not soo bad, some little bugs with camera and other things but overall 's good
in 2022 i bet they are going to have oreo
or meizu will die
Meizu has disappointed me so much that I bought another mobile (not from Meizu). I have endured so much thanks to the Faust93 ROM but I could not do it anymore, it was a little on a whim, more than other things
Meizu was downgrading ever since 2015 and their strategy to focus on the Chinese market with dozens of new devices every year led to abandoning all their previous flagships and lack of focus on software updates. Obviously providing regular up-to-date upgrades does not bring in too much revenue compared to the new devices ranging from budget to flagships that bring in millions. This fact showed their real face - hunt for money rather than for creating an outstanding product and attracting even more customers. Pro 5 is my first Meizu phone and is definitely the last one. Even with running RR 7.1.2 and fully and smoothly functioning hardware, I do really lack fingerprint option and I don't like having any sacrifices on the device. which once used to be a flagship and still has pretty powerful insides to date. I like trying different roms and flashing firmware, but for the testing purposes, not because I am forced to in order to have more or less up-to-date Android version and properly working Google Services and Play Store. This is just ridiculous and disgusting.
Did someone tried flyme 7, this version 7.8.5.8?
hi everybody.
I'm surfing the internet.
https://www.getdroidtips.com/flyme-os-7-meizu-pro-5/
I came across this site.
I downloaded and installed the Meizu pro5 Flyme 7.0.2.0A from the https://www.flyme.cn/firmwarelist-23.html#3 link provided on the site. I got backup of my phone. I've installed wipe cache. And it works.
I wanted to share it with you.
Notes:
- I had a flyme 6.3 rom.
- I installed vipe cache from the first installation. sim network did not work. vipe cache cleaning and installed all functions worked.
-Flyme has added facial recognition and works very nicely.
- Press the power button. I installed the version uplink type. As described in the first link. (https://www.getdroidtips.com/flyme-os-7-meizu-pro-5/)
-I've been using it for two days. very nice. Flyme7 is the original system board and stable.
- Before loading, change the ro.product.locale = zh-CN line in the zip file (update.zip/system/build.prop) to -> ro.product.locale = en-US.
- Bad news - I use English. Problems can occur in other languages.
The pro5 really got android 8.0!?
Maybe I should (after switching to the global version a year ago) back to the chinese roms...
Are the google apps all working? Incl. contacts etc?
Thanks already for the update!
pro 5 now is with oreo??
i´m speechless lol
Unfortunately nope, Oreo was only a dream for us

U can use it as daily rom, it's almost near to perfection. But it's not new, it's 2018.08.10 so 3 months old.

Hi all,
Since it seems there are not updates coming for the global version of pro5 anymore I am considering to switch to the Chinese ROM.
Is it possible to install the latest Chinese version to a GLOBAL Pro5?
If it is a more complex process, do you have instructions a link that shows how to do it?
Thanks a lot!

i think you have to change the product label to chinese ( i tried without doing so and i failed miserably )
it's depend on what recovery you use to update, stock or TWRP. If with TWRP, you need to replace bootloader and recovery in zip to be unlocked bootloader and custom recovery.
I was realize after I bought this phone, the phone version is lollipop(5.1.1), and I looking for any rom developers who ever Can create a rom for this kind of phone ( Coolpad a8 Max) honestly, I want change this version into latest or oreo, thanks!

1. Posting in the android themes section isn't going to get your question answered.
Post about this in your device section or android questions and answers.
2. Use Google.
There are NO CUSTOM ROMS for your device
There are no developers active, the device has no support and cannot update due to its bad firmware that doesn't allow the bootloader to be unlocked, so it cannot even run a custom ROM.....
3. Did you not check the android version before purchasing? Thats just stupid.
This device is from 2016........no one should be buying 2016 hardware or a device with an android version which is over 4 years old in 2018.
For less than half the price you paid for that cool pad you could have got a Nokia 2.1 or Nokia 1 both are running android 8.1 or can install a project treble android P GSI - both those devices are project treble compatible!
Here's some interesting information....
Your purchase cannot be justified from the device specs, the current budget Nokia range use android GO and have been proven to perform much better and faster with much less powerful CPUs and far less ram that a more expensive multi core CPU device with 2 to 6 GB ......
These devices perform 15% faster and only use a small portion of on device storage.
As for your cool pad, You are stuck on lollipop I'm afraid.
Look at the price comparison of the cool pad A8 and the Nokia 1 with android 8.1 Go.
If you want the "latest" android version you always need to buy a device that has it, not buy a far more expensive one that has an android version that will no longer be supported in the next few months.
FYI - Google are going to make android 6.0 marshmallow a minimum requirement to run their apps early next year, and then are going to make android 7.0 nougat a minimum requirement to run their apps by the fall of 2019.
There is talk about a collaboration between Huawei and Xiaomi
To bring HarmonyOs to Xiaomi phones
Do you think Xiaomi should go for this?
Do you think the Redmi 9 will get a HamonyOs ROM ?
Would you like to try this Operating system on your phone ?

It is very excited ..but this os is not based on android os...so i think it will most fevers for developer not daily user...
So I bought the redmi9 because..
The apps I run stated the would no-longer support android 6 in the next update
If
HarmonyOs gets:
Longtime support (security updates)
Has USB DAC support
Runs the apps I need
Then I'm all in...for harmonyOs
update..
I just watched HarmonyOs 2 beta review on YouTube..
It seems...its Just android 10 based
Wow,Miui is not the best but good but Emui is worst and both together,oh f...ck...g no,please.Cheers!!!

It's not Android 10 based, that is EMUI 10 and 11. The UI seems quite like Android because it is meant to be comfortable for people coming from Android. The Kernel however, is like Linux but is a microkernel and can run on any device from like a few kilobytes of ram to like a lot of ram like computers
because harmony os is not based on android, maybe xiaomi won't do that, because maybe they can lose a lot of users, but i'm personally interested in trying, but not being a daily driver.
Why is my phone not updated oppo Reno 2f To Android 12 Ui, ColorOS interface.

I am not new, but I am asking what is the reason why the phone will not be updated because I heard a lot of news, the Android 11 system was heavy on the devices, but Android 12 is lighter and more supportive for many phones I know that the Android 12 system is still in its infancy and has not spread in its entirety, but I ask whether the specifications of this phone can run Android 12 raw or not. Thanks for your reply
