Nexus 5: Flyme OS Now
Available
Being a member of the Nexus family, Google’s Nexus
5 has always been one of the most developer friendly
handsets out there and while the device gets a bunch of new custom ROMs pretty
much every other week, this time the Nexus 5 developer community has managed to
port something much better; Flyme OS.
Flyme OS for the
Google Nexus 5
Flyme OS is something new and innovating. It’s an elegant new
operating system by the Meizu team, and is built on top of Android source code. It has a beautiful and
user-friendly UI, allowing users to quickly find what they need and access
all their favorite features as fast as possible, with minimal loading
times.
The OS is also based on the CyanogenMod
11 ROM which brings a lot of
improvements to the famous operating system, greatly extending its
functionality. So overall, Flyme OS is something unique on the market
that everyone should definitely try out.
If your intention is indeed to try the operating system out, and
you own a Nexus 5, then it’s good news for you, because the good folks over at XDA Developers have made this OS available as a ROM
for the Nexus 5. XDA Developers member, Vpabc, is the one
responsible for this port, based on CyanogenMod 11. The ROM comes with all apps that
the Meizu team included in the OS, so it’s an absolutely full experience for
anyone looking forward to trying it out. The operating system can’t actually be
compared with either Android, iOS or Fire OS because every operating system has
its pros and cons, and this one is aimed at elegance, user-friendliness and
fluidity.
The current release is stable, as mentioned on
XDA Developers, but is not fully identical to the actual operating system
that comes on Meizu’s phones. It’s natural that you’ll find some bugs and gaps,
but then again they are scarce, so you should simply give it a try and check it
out for yourself. You’ll need to flash SuperSU and a gapps package if you want to have root access
and Google apps.
