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

Will provide some screenshots of my phone later when I arrive home.

Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ( ZE500KL ) Custom Rom?

Hello,
where can I find Custom roms for my Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ( ZE500KL )?

No custom rom till yet.

Something has changed?

No custom rom is available for the moment, but if you've some skills with Linux and CyanogenMod, you can build CM 12.1 for the ZenFone 2 Laser (Asus have released the kernel code source which is available to download on the Asus Website )

Till today it is not possible, because the bootloader is locked, so you cant flash any recovery to flash custom roms...

The Laser ZE500KL appears to be almost identical in specs to other phones based on the Qualcomm MSM8916 (Snapdragon 410) SoC, e.g. 5-in screen at 1280x720, 2GB RAM, 16 GB eMMC. So maybe you can try the ROMs for the 2nd generation Android One phones, which are all based on the same SoC (codename SEED). Yet another MSM8916-based phone is the Wileyfox Swift, which is officially supported by CyanogenOS. Take a look at the specs and compare your phone:

This is totally UNTESTED by me though, so take care!!

ZE500KL rooted et TWRP installed :

Yes, we know there is this floating twrp recovery that works, but we have yet to RE it to understand how it works.
It come from a russian site and is not well documented.

No custom rom is available for now -- but I believe we would probably get one around 2016 as the phone gains traction.

I was thinking, a ton of people probably are waiting for christmas, to give this phone, so it probably will be 2016 haha

http://www.asus.com/ph/Phone/ZenFone-2-Laser-ZE500KL/HelpDesk_Download/

I saw that once you upgrade to 7.0 (for example v7.2.9) that bootloader will be automatically locked, and we will have to unlock it once again.
Can anyone confirm if this is true,

Bootloader cannot be locked unless its instructed by you. Flashing process doesn't have any interference with the Bootloader. Still, about my personal experience, I migrate from custom roms to MIUI 7.1.12 and back atleast twice a week. Its not the case. And given the reason neither its supposed to be. You can clear your doubts.

Yes this is my understanding too, and i myself flash constantly -
but according to xiaomi.eu page for build 7.2.9 : " RELESED Android 7.0 for MI4C, Mi4S, MIMAX, MIMAX PRO, MINote PRO
Your BOOTLOADER will be relocked after upgrade to Android 7.0 so unlock it by en.miui.com/unlock after ROM installation again!!!"

No worries, I flashed today without knowing above and my bootloader still unlocked.
After flashing gapps I get lots error messages. Otherwise no big difference in miui.
Worked ok with supersu 2.79 and twrp 3.0.2

yep, xiaomi took android 7.0 and transformed it to MIUI 8 based on 6.0 i was hoping at least for display resolution support from 7.0 but no, you still have to edit build.prop and distort apps and icons in default theme. i don't need 6.5" screen because of 1cm fonts

Recovery version is flashable through TWRP? Tks

Thanks for posting
I'm running it since some days and have the feeling that the battery is a bit better, like 10% more power left evenings.
[edit]
My fault, I'm running 9.5.4.0 since some days, this release here is an even newer release
