[Q] Flyme OS for i9505

Hello guys,
i've seen the ui of the Meizu MX3 and i must say, it looks beautiful...
Is there a chance to get the launcher work on a S4 or someone knows a complete working port of Flyme OS ?
Thx for your help.
greets louis :laugh:

I am also looking for a port
I am also looking at the port os Flyme gt-i9505

Switch from Android to Ubuntu Touch on Meizu MX4

Hi! Now that Meizu MX4 started selling with Ubuntu Touch, is there any documentation or any other resource about switching from an installed Android to Ubuntu Touch on Meizu MX4?

I think it will not be possible , knowing strategy of meizu. you will have to buy ubuntu meizu mx4 if you want ubuntu

I really want to try Ubuntu in MX4... Please Meizu!!

From Ubuntu to Flyme

Good news!! People can install Flyme on ubuntu version (like a dual bot, can change the os)

Really?? Do you know how to do it?

I have no certainty . But if my brother can go from ubuntu to Flyme I think we can do the same from the international version of the phone .

You cant put ubuntu on flyme meizu mx4. It is only for ubuntu mx4. If you have ubuntu mx4 you can put flyme, and not vice versa

But so we can put flyme on ubuntu mx4 isn't logic we can't go from flyme to ubuntu.

The phone aren't loked like normal MX4. More then 1 user in the Meizu Forum write a method for install FLyme on Ubuntu Edition, just check and watch the photos (the imei is the same)

MX4 Ubuntu to Flyme 4.1.1A
The method mentioned https:// lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg13848.html works, but as referred, for the moment, you can't upgrade from Flyme 4.1.1A.
I've tested with a EU phone (made in china, shipped from Italy).
- 1.st activate adb in Ubuntu Phone (System Settings, About this Phone, Developer Mode)
If linux adb desktop also add "x2a45" to .android/adb_usb.ini
- Download adb.zip referred in the chinese URL, recovery.img is inside
- After Flyme rom installed.... recovery will be back to Flyme recovery

"you can't upgrade from Flyme 4.1.1A.!"
I care they have different MBR

I have an MX4 Ubuntu Edition, and noticed that there is an Android folder.
what does it mean? can we have dual boot?
I also have the international version, can I install ubuntu?

Hey!
I went through almost every firmware of Flyme MX4, and the only working version was as "ruilapa" mentioned Flyme 4.1.1A. But, I didn't give up and keep trying until I got Flyme 4.0.4A working perfectly with my MX4 Ubuntu M461 phone, and most importantly that I got an OTA upgrade to 4.2.8.2A :good:
So now, I am running Flyme OS 4.2.8.2A Android 4.4.2 on my MX4 Ubuntu Edition

Could you please share a detailed instruction how-to flash Flyme on MX4 M461. Where did you find Flyme 4.0.4A? Was the Flyme 4.0.4A working really perfectly, as the guy from launchpad had some issue with colors: lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg14056.html
Thank you in advance!

I have followed the instructors in this link lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg13848. html , and got the recovery.img of Flyme from the internet.
I also had a look at that guy in the link that you mentioned, but for me, Flyme 4.0.4I didn't work for me, but Flyme 4.0.4A worked instead.
Got the 4.0.4A from the following link
meizufans.eu/forum/topic/751/flyme-os-4-0-4-stable
Will provide some screenshots of my phone later when I arrive home.

ubuntu touch on meizu pro 6

Hello
Can install ubuntu touch on meizu pro 6 ?

BOOMP .... !!!!

There's no official build... Guess only option is port/built it yourself, or wait for someone to do it

Meizu m3 Note port Ubuntu Touch

Is there a chance of ubuntu touch on m3? It has MT6755 is a big plus, Any idea?

Bootloader is locked by Meizu. And Flyme is better than Ubuntu touch.

You can unlock the bootloader.
I don't think you get it. Ubuntu Touch is different from Android.
