Yes, you're right, but will the Exynos of MX4 PRO release the source?
And why mediatek or any other cpu/soc producer for smartphones will not release the source code?I mean if they release the code there will be more custom stuff and it will be a good point for a smartphone android.
I doubt so... It's not in their interest (probably) to release it. What you will get instead is a MX4 with Ubuntu or something similar, something that will allow them to sell the same unit with a different face. You could consider this as a custom Rom, but from manufacturer, they want to keep it under control... which is understandable. But if you're a flashaddict, your chances are currently at zero :)

Not yet. At the moment we have only flyme OS 4.0, by Meizu, based on Android 4.4. Soon we will have Cyanogem rom and ubuntu phone.
About norwegian language, I can't help you :(


Are you sure about CM? Iam also interested in the MX4, but the official Rom looks & sounds really buggy...

Since Mediatek is not releasing the source code, there are currently no roms nor any sort of development available for this device. You get Flyme and Lollipop upgrades, that's it.

I just replaced my GS3 with the MX4 and I'm pretty happy with it.
But I guess it's a different thing with a GS4, which is still quite up to date.
The Meizu firmware is still quite buggy and battery life is far from perfect.

+1 for a Cyanogenmod port for the MX4, please :)

so probably not a best deal to change from SGS4 to MX4
what about 4G - LTE connection?
does it work?

Here in Portugal works flawlessly!

I'm very happy about this thing, but I wished battery life to be better. And there are some bugs here and there.

By the way, someone knows how to delete all homescreen except the main one? I have 2, even though the A one is empty.

What about 800 Mhz band?
No chinese phone supports it.
Will that be a problem in the future?

I couldn't find a way. I am using nova launcher anyway. Too many limitations with the default one.

Rooting and flashing test and stable firmwares is easier than on a Nexus, which is by itself quite amazing.

You root from the phone's settings! You flash zip files and firmware by just placing them on the SD Card and click on them from the stock file browser. Is that easy!

I have been using the phone for the past 2 days and I am quite impressed. I have used most flagship phones from the past years and this one still impresses.

Battery life is way better than on the Nexus 5. I get around 4-5 SOT with no power saving modes active. Flyme OS 4 has evolved since launch. They basically upload a stable update every single month and test firmwares weekly.

I have also installed xposed and tweaked the status bar a little bit.

The smart touch features are the best out there, you can basically use the device one handed and I have small hands.

For any other questions please ask me.

    you got a i version with bootloader unlocked .... with intl firmware

    I just receive yesterday my mx4

    Ist a m460 china with C at end of the firmware, the second chinese mx4 is with U at end of firmware from china unicom m461
    Both chinese phone are same hardware and band

    Finally my M460 work great in france all wcdma 3G and 4g band too fdd-lte

    My guess they are all the same hardware

    The only different is..
    Both chinese are locked bootloader.. so can flash only chinese rom (C, U or A non branded rom)
    And intk version is bootloader unlocked so you can flash all firmware

    Engineer mode (for checking band)
    *#*#3646633#*#*

    Good news for MX4 Ubuntu owners!
    xen0n is porting CM12.1 to this device.

    You can see the progress here: https://github.com/xen0n/android_device_meizu_arale
    https://github.com/xen0n/local_manifests_arale

    To install on standard MX4 we would need to repartition the phone, system of MX4 Ubuntu is too big. I dont know if this would be possible

    I don't own a MX4 yet but I'm following it closely.

    Today I read a very positive review made by HDblog.it, an important Italian website.

    They say this device has good display, loud speaker and take great pictures.

    They experienced some minor software glitches, but nothing major and we know that software issues can be corrected easily.
