Got it yesterday

Hey guys, I bought it and i got my new Pro 5 yesterday. I have a few doubts and annotations just in case you can help me. I have no complains about the phone, but FlymeOS, coming from pure android is kind of strange. I'm still getting used to the back-home button.

I found a bug and its because I installed nova launcher. Everytime I go to home (nova home) and I'm playing music on my headphones, it stops playing and plays the music on the phone speakers, which is kind of annoying.

Other thing I noticed is when I switch between apps by swiping up from the bottom of the screen is that the apps get restarted. Not always, I still don't know exactly when this happens.

So does anyone knows how to install a ROM or if there is ROMs available with pure Android?

Thanks!
[Meizu Pro 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] xxyyxyyxxyyx:
I came from custom roms as well. While flyme is not as robust but after some time of use, it works pretty fine. Smart touch has become quite handy. While i too get some apps restarts from time to time, it is nothing drastic and doesn't take away from the user experience. As far as roms are concerned, I think the phone is too new for now. Maybe in the near future we might get some pure android roms. Also the bootloader is locked right now ( or is it just for the A version?). There is flyme 5.1.1 available as a testing beta. I manually upgraded yesterday but am back to 4.5 since the beta seems to be missing root privileges for now. Iam also waiting to install xposed module and use flyme tools. In our case waiting is all we do for now i guess.
[Meizu Pro 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] lhayati:
the beta isn't missing root, they've just moved it to the bottom of the Fingerprint and Security settings. I'd actually highly recommend 5.1.1 over 4.5

Problems with Dialer

Hey Guys,

i have some Problems with the dialer. I have sometimes the problem that i cant hear what the other person on the call says, but they can still hear me. i checked the connection and its at max. I made a few changes in the os, first went to 4.5a and there was a really big bug when i pulled down the notification bar. so i decided to go to the beta. after the release of 5.1.1a i went to it and it worked. but since then i had this bug, so i went back to 5.5.12.8 beta and now i have this bug in this version too. do anyone know how to get it to work? i would have tried wiping dalvic cache but there is no cwm for this phone. i cleared normal dialer cache and data, but it doesnt seem to work since them.

thanks for all replys that will come on :D

sorry for bad english

tl;dr

dialer not working proberly, deleted data, but not dalvic cache

Hi Guys,

I'm considering buying this.

But my biggest barrier is can this camera shoot RAW file (instead of JPEG).

NOTE 5 can shoot in RAW, but I rather have 1080p to save battery, and lack of SD Card is a turn off.

Hey, I just want to let you know, the file format is jpeg, and you can save the pics on an external sd card, which can be up to 128Gb, so no problem with space and format at all:)

Viper4Android

Hello dear,

in the past I always used Viper4Android on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and it was a breathtaking experience. But now I bought the international version of Meizu Pro 5 because of the cool features hardware (on the card) regarding the audio portion (DAC, amp, etc.) But now as the operating system I Flyme 4.5.4.2i (based Android 5.1). Can you give me a hand to get my precious application.

- I did the root (just connect by account Flyme)

- I put SELinux mode in "Permissive"

- I installed BusyBox in "xbin" and "bin"

- I downloaded the apk from your site but nothing to do.

After I install the apk, the grant root permissions, tells me that the drivers have been updated, do the restart but then nothing. If I go to see "Driver Status", the version is "0.0.0.0" ... why ?, where am I wrong?

Please guys, give me a hand.

PS: Since not all terminals have Custom Recovery (also because to have it, you need to have unlocked bootloader and there are many terminals that have blocked), maybe it's better to have Viper4Android version especially "apk" that "zip")

I thank you in advance

Hello everybody, I wanted to know whether it's possible to unlock more 4g bands on pro 5 modem in future? (as US telecommunication companies use different bands). I know the phone is new and even does not have a unlock bootloader yet but, because, the cpu is the same with samsung gs6 and note 5 I think the modem should be the same too and can support more bands like gs6 but, meizu locked them; so, it should be a way to unlock more bands if modems are the same like what developers of xda did to qualcomm cpu and modems with modifying the RIL.

There is other way to go to previous apps from SmartTouch, just swip left or right you will get get into previous or forward apps. It's save lot of time while you using 2 apps very frequently. And once you find out all the shortcut and tricks, you will love this os, it's really a productive os

Bad memory management?

I have been using the 64gb/4gb version of the Meizu Pro 5 for a while now, and have noticed that the ram is always never even close to being full. Currently, I have not removed any apps from the memory after a full day's usage and there is still 1.5gb ram left. I think this is because the phone only keeps 8 tasks in multitasking.

Is there any way this can be increased?

(I know in the developer options section there is the option to change the number of background processes, but the number can only be reduced from 8, not increased)

Kind regards,

Daniel Li

First of all lollipop surfers from memory leakage problem in android 5 to 5.0.x but, solved it in 5.1.1

and secondly OMG! Just tell me why exactly you want to do this?!

1.5 gb left in memory is not enough for you?! I remember I using my htc Desire hd with only 1.5 gb ram without wondering about it!

If you think ram is not enough for you or your phone using too much of it, it's probably because, you are using some RAM-hungry apps
[Meizu Pro 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dli628:
Hi, I think I phrased it wrong. What I meant was there is so much unused memory, yet the OS is still limiting the number of background processes by removing apps from the ram.

Hi

I am from Argentina and I want to buy the meizu pro 5 phone.

Can someone tell me if this phone is compatible with the LTE bands of Argentina?

PD: I have already tried willmyphonework.com but I do not trust in it. I need an opinion of someone of the community.

If this phone does not work in Argentina which one, similar to the meizu pro 5, would you recommend me?

Viper4Android

Any of you tried to install viper4android on this phone?
[Meizu Pro 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Asiier:
Viper4Android does not work at least for me on these versions: Flyme OS 5.1.2.0A, 5.1.2.0G, 5.6.1.12G(beta), 5.6.1.19G(beta)

You can try to install it and see If it installs for, it won't mess up anything so you're free to try it

---------- Post added at 06:55 ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 ----------

Okay so the bands in Argentina are:

2G capabilities GSM 850, GSM 1800, GSM 1900

3G capabilities UMTS 850, UMTS 1900

4G capabilities LTE 1700, LTE 2100

And the PRO 5 have this bands:

2G bands	GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 - SIM 1 & SIM 2

3G bands	HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 - M576 model TD-SCDMA 1880 / 2010 - M576 model

4G bands	LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 7(2600), 38(2600), 39(1900), 40(2300), 41(2500) - M576 model

You will get 2G, 3G and 4G/LTE

Although I found this article which you can check, it mainly sais that there's a bit of confusion with LTE Bands on Argentina, the best you can do is call your operator and ask them.

to stay on the subject of audio

Dear ostentatious ear electrocuted,

you know, after the first review on audio quality, especially on the power output was very, very disappointed.

Well, I’m here to tell you how to drive this darn thing, for what it was intended. On paper it was a Mr. smartphone from the point of view of the components of the audio but then most of us found himself with a “piece” of the midrange.

So, uninstall all readers player and rely only the player by default. Oddly enough, the regular readers (PowerAmp, Player Pro, Neutron, etc.) That I tested do not work closely with the kernel, instead of the default player. What does this translate ?, the greater the quality of the file, the greater the power output and sound quality. With other music players you do not get the same result because they work “surface” with the Flyme, while the player by default you see that is not limited to only interact with Flyme.

Use audio files of at least 256kbps “natives” with at least 44100Hz. I mean natives as source files flac that because of space have been converted into 256 or 320kbps mp3 … and not audio from youtube that you have registered to 320kbps. If you suck it did before, even after sucks ago.

Head for the sound settings and select audio output as “high gain” or, better “External ampifier” if you want your song to be heard also from the neighboring room.

I’ve tried everything with Flyme 4.5 (because for now I need to root for other things).

If you can not satisfy you, well I do not know what else to tell you except to put his head into a barrel with 3000W and maybe manage to fix the problem … or do the following thing

AT YOUR OWN RISK :cool::D:D

With root permissions downloaded “Build Prop Editor” from Playstore and go to the file “persist.dtmf.volume” and increase the value. Without reboot and voila.

Syncing/push notification issue fix

Hi,

I have updated my pro 5 to Flyme 5.1.2.0G for a while now. I have recently noticed that I was not receiving push notifications from my third party email application (typeapp). Typeapp worked perfectly in Flyme 4.x.x. The fix was to add typeapp to the phone's "memory acceleration whitelist" in the "Settings" application > accelerator > Settings (cog wheel icon in top right of screen) > memory acceleration whitelist.

---------- Post added at 09:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 AM ----------

most of the features are same in both but international version has more language options as compared to Chinese version which has only Chinese and English

A = Generic

Works on all devices

Comes without Google Play Store and Services, can be installed afterwards

Has a few chinese apps

Contains all Flyme features like free Music downloads (needs VPN)

Lacks some languages in current releases, can be bypassed

I = International

Contains all languages

Some Flyme functions are disabled like free Music downloads

Comes with Google Play preinstalled

Only available for I devices, can be bypassed

NOT TO BE MESSED WITH THE INDIAN FIRMWARE (We only upload the real international firmwares here!)

G = Global

Same like I firmware, replaces it since Flyme 5

All Flyme apps/features removed

No root possible, can be bypassed

Bootloader unlock for Meizu pro 5 international

Hi,

I have found a way to retain the bootloader that allows bootloader unlocking from the 5.6.1.19G beta firmware (http://xdaforums.com/meizu-mx/general/tutorial-unlock-bootloader-meizu-pro-5-t3303127) onto a different firmware for the meizu pro 5.

Firstly, install the 5.6.1.19G beta firmware from the link above.

Second, obtain the update.zip of the firmware you wish to be on (I tried this with 5.1.3.0G).

Third, use a tool to delete the file "bootloader" from inside the update.zip obtained from the second step (I used winrar to do this).

Fourth, sign the update.zip from the third step using Auto-sign.zip downloadable from this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1610121

Fifth, flash this update.zip

I was able to preserve the unlocked bootloader from 5.6.1.19G beta onto 5.1.3.0G this way.

I think problem with Chinese version is related to the way we install "G" version to "A" device

As you mentioned bootloader file is the only file that we should use from the "G" rom that can be unlock so, in the way we try to flash "G" rom into our Chinese phone we don't actually use bootloader file because, flashing firmware is not possible trough update.zip file and in other way we use only system.new.dat and system.transfer.list files from "G" rom so, other files are unusable in this method. We need rather change the bootloader file in our "A" firmware update.zip or find another way like mx5 to change our device to international device and flash any firmware then.
