Regarding GMSWhy is Meizu not an official partner of GMS. As far as i know the testing process is pretty straight forward and the licensing fees are very low too. Meizu used to give Google Services pre-installed on the Global ROMs of it's devices few months ago. Does it mean that Meizu was a partner and it isn't now? If anyone has any knowledge about this then please reply to this thread!

SignatureThis is not a signature. I am too lazy to steal one, perhaps you could loan me yours? |

kArViX replied at 2016-12-31 17:47 The problem is that for Meizu's devices to be certified they have to make every device supportable. But since they ship phones with YunOS it violates Google's terms so even the GMS supportable and previously certified devices cannot come preloaded with GMS. | |

The point is that the international version must be certified with Google and the Chinese can also run out.
It 's so difficult to understand for Meizu? | |

subhashvarma replied at 2016-12-25 22:28 I became more skeptical as Meizu removed the GMS installer from their app store. | |

subhashvarma replied at 2016-12-25 18:03 This makes sense since Meizu has received a lot of funding from Alibaba Group and they can't deny shipping devices with YunOS to Alibaba. Thanks for the comment bro. Appreciate this! | |

According to what i know Previously meizu had partnership with GMS and later on google withdrew the partnership, as meizu didn't follow certain Terms that are necessary to sign MADA (Mobile Application Distribution Agreement) and to pass Android CTS (Compatibility Test Suite) Technically Meizu can easily pay off the license fee and all of its devices can pass android CTS but the main problem is that meizu devices sold in mainland china mostly run of Aliyun or YunOS which is a developed by Alibaba, for google to certify a OEM as its GMS partner the OEM must make all of its OS (in this case both flyme and YunOS) must pass android CTS so even if flyme passes android CTS and YunOS fails meizu devices running on flyme will not be certified, So both of meizu's OS should pass google CTS to be become official GSM partner YunOS is not compatible with android and is developed from ground up by Alicloud It has its own technology implementation for its virtual machine and runtime environment which is different from Android | |
