Alright yeah the google apps really make a difference.

It just takes 5 minutes to install it on a Chinese-FlymeOS.

-> These 5 minutes you save + the time wasted getting the China-FlymeOS system apps that were removed back ... must be worth the difference.

Fact is: there is only China FlymeOS
what Meizu sells as Global / India is a "renamed China FlymeOS."

I will tell you a story you can read it up if you want to. It's written down with more detals on sever other places.

How the global firmware was born:

1 First there was just China FlymeOS
2 then Meizu sold to HongKong (where there is google)
3 So China FlymeOS + Google Apps was Global FlymeOS
4 both had all languages

after that in short: Meizu started to sell on other places the "China FlymeOS + google"
-> Nobody bought it b/c it was much more expensive and people didn't consider google apps being worth 100$ extra.

-> So Meizu removed languages from the global FlymeOS (what's FlymeOS China + Google Apps) back then.

And now we have:

FlymeOS China + Google + more Languages - system apps = India / GLobal FlymeOS

Ultra i told flyme is Chinese. Its for sure i was just mentioning about extra features in G,IN firmware so that International users who think using Chinese firmware is difficult would better go for G AND IN firmware that's it

@subhashvarma
Please read it!

Before you start with "But MIUI global does the same" NO THEY don't!
As an example how the global FlymeOS could look like, based on MIUI Global.

This is an official list by Google, it lists Google Play Supported devices, you can see this as a list of "Global Android."

-> Meizu is not on it!
And why: Because you don't need it in China. -> And b/c there is no global FlymeOS

The list: Supported devices Google Play devices
Direct link to the PDF: https://docs.google.com/spreadsh ... gle=true&output=pdf

And back to MIUI, Global MIUI is on that list. FlymeOS is not and very likely won't be for the next half year.
Himanshu made some implications that there will be a change.
But until Meizu is on this list! Cut the crap about "global FlymeOS" such thing does not exist.

Edit: Paying royalties is important for global companies and such is Meizu not.
But it's not all there is, this post just hints into a direction, but there is a lot of information missing.

Sadly it's not as simple as you want it do be.
Android is google, FlymeOS is Android.

Global Customers use the Google App store -> what's made for Android.
If Meizu does not "qualify" in the eyes of Google-Android, that's a problem for Global customers.


See it like this: FlymeOS is China, adding some languages does not make it global.

And if all you wanted to say Global-FlymeOS is a China-FlymeOS + languages, then please correct your first post. When you do that, you may also add that all other Chinese brands qualify as Google-Play Android (are on the list), but FlymeOS does not (is not on the list published by Google).
Please fix all the mistakes in your original-post... from Meizu never fixes bugs, to there is no global FlymeOS and so on.

Dont mind its ok

okay.

Glad we are finished with this.

remember your above explanation for G and A that's the answer because A version was also having the same thing initially .

Edited by ultrametric at 2016-07-13 21:26
Yeah I am not sure what version it was, probably not the G version.

But the point is: Same FlymeOS versions on diferent phones have different security patches.That really happened.

And that's why PONY's statement is fishy to me.

Edit: I don't want to argue about it, it's not worth the time.

And doesn't matter as long as it improves

as per my timeline month at max in beta and 2 month to get to stable. if everything go smoothly

Good one surely share this link to some of my friends...
