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.
:good:
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.
Good afternoon,
I'm completely new to Android, I came from iOS 3 weeks ago.
I know with iPhone's you can jailbreak, and I've only just discovered custom ROMs for Android.
I have a Samsung S9+ (UK, so it'll be exynos) - Model: SM-G965F and running: One UI Version 1.0 and Android Version 9. I also have the latest security patch: 1 April 2019.
I've heard of Custom ROM's Resurrection Remix and Pixel Experience.
Because I have the latest OS, is it possible to flash a custom ROM on my S9+? or is it too new?
If I can, do you have any custom ROMs you'd recommend I try out? I like the gestures of OxygenOS, and I prefer Google Apps over Samsung Apps.
I've been reading the forums, and watching videos. But any guides you have to install a ROM, please point me in the right direction.
Thanks for your help!
TGP (The Galaxy Project)
I have used TGP ROM's and kernels on several devices over the years and have never had any issues. The developer is always floating around should anyone need any help with anything and battery life is always amazing.
It's the first thing I did after coming from an S7E to the S9+ a no brainer...
1. Download Odin and Samsung USB drivers for your PC.
2. Unlock bootloader.
2a. Reboot into download mode.
3. Download latest TWRP, flash that sucker into your phone.
(Congratulations, you've just voided your warranty if you care about that)
Welcome to the smart side.
From there, you've got a smorgasbord of ROMs, Kernels, etc, to choose from to customise to your heart's content.
Enjoy!
(fwiw, I'm running (rooted) Light ROM, with white wolf kernel. And love it - and the nearly 36 hour gap between charges)
I was recently gifted a lovely Lenovo Tab M8 FHD tabled, and while the hardware and overall design is very spiffy, Android 10 is absolutely horrible on it. Android 10 is using up massive amount of resources, has some real bad optimization issues and it's just bad in general. I checked the official Lenovo forums and there are tons of threads about how the Android 10 OTA update that was not announced or anything has caused issues with their devices. I read both on there multiple times, and in a thread on here that it's possible to use the Lenovo rescue and recovery tool to install Android 9 through putting the old rom in a folder that has the name of the most up to date rom. I found two separate roms with the same name, if slightly different file sizes while I was combing through the internet, and while I tried to use both to get Android 9 on my device, neither worked. So, I am hoping and praying that someone on xda can give me some badly needed help with a link or even vague directions toward where I can get the firmware I so seek. I am rambling on a bit and I do apologize for that, but I can sincerely say that it would be a big weight off my metaphorical chest if I could get some help with this. Thanks for reading my post. Also, I apologize if I mixed up rom and firmware at times.
Just got Tab M8 FHD and decided to give Android 9 a try since tablet is more laggy than I though.
I got rom from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/lenovo/Tab_M8_FHD/TB-8705F/
Flashed it with SP_Flash_Tool, using the Download agent MTK_AllInOne_DA_6765.bin (found in the archive with the ROM) (I disabled "Check LIB DA match" in Flash tool options).
Rom TB-8705F_S100099_200706_BMP.zip is Android 9. Got Magisk and EdXposed running.
Maybe it's just in my mind but it does seem faster than Android 10 - well at least when scrolling through menus or browsing Play Store. Overall performance is probably the same so downgrading won't make games / apps run smoother.

After you installed Android 9, did you have to use the disbale vbmeta method like they did in Android 10 to get root or did you have to use another method?
Hey guys. I know maybe some of you guys already did that years ago and that I am pretty late with it right now but I havent seen a thread where this was mentioned in (maybe I was just too lazy to look everywhere) but I recently made a video on how to get the Samsung Experience 8.1 Features on the S6/edge without any root or custom rom. Originally, we only got Experience 8.0, according to Wikipedia, however it isnt even mentioned in the Device Info page (if you ask me, they should have waited a few more weeks and should have given us Android 7.1.1 directly like the J5 2016 or SE 8.1 with 7.0 like the S5 Neo).
However, thanks to API 24 / Android 7.0, we are able to get nearly 80% of the Samsung Experience 8.1 Features, by updating the stock apps and TouchWiz Launcher manually. We can even get Bixby Home with that method. Things you will not be able to change are the general look of the UI (Lockscreen, Settings, QuickPanel), however you can install AOD Display, which will then be shown in the Settings. S6 edge+/Note 5 users will also benefit more from this, as they already got some S8 functions inside their firmware like changing Screen resolution or being able to activate Boostmode. The tutorial should be applicable to every Samsung device that runs Android 7.0 (A-2016 series/J-2016 series)

No. Please only use the versions I linked in the video. If you install a more recent version of TouchWiz/Bixby, they might start to crash. You can try though

Hi all
I have a Tecno Spark 5 kd7s, which I now immensely regret buying.
I bought it after hearing a sales pitch from the lady, even so the specs are still impressive, and I love the camera.
Only thing, is HiOS (on which the Android system is based) is filled with adware, and bloatware, and there is no way of uninstalling the apps. The phone is sluggish, and certain apps simply crash. If there would be a way to remove this rubbish HiOS, and install a generic version of Android. If that was possible, this phone would be an incredible device, I've just had it with HiOS
If anyone is able to assist, it would be great.
Thanks in advance.
GSI (Generic System Image) is what you are looking for.

There are GSI(generic system image) ROMs, but they are built specific to your hardware architecture. Find out what your device's CPU architecture is and then try finding GSI ROMs for that CPU architecture.
Some devices require some modification before they can install a GSI ROM, you'll have to do some researching to discover whether or not you need to do anything to prepare your device to be compatible with the GSI before you try installing the GSI.
GSI ROMs themselves are "generic", but that doesn't necessarily mean that it works on all devices with the CPU architecture that it was built for and the process of installing the GSI is not necessarily the same for all devices.
