That is indeed very good to know.

Yep - here's a link on AskUbuntu:

And here's the documentation I followed, posted up as a thread on Google+

No plans to sell the MX5 Pro, thanks :-)
Having a good reference device for developers to rally around is certainly
essential.
That was a killer for Tizen for a long, long time. Samsung released the
RD-PQ (~Galaxy S3 spec) in 2013, and that was the only viable platform for
development work for

Hi Mitchell now thats good news. I scanned xda a while back and read there
was still problems doing that. Could you point me to some details?

Why would it be necessary for Canonical to make a new phone when they can
just ask Meizu and Bq to provide a new batch?
Again; if the plan was to not sell many phones, then why would you expect
them to sell many?
The whole point is that Ubuntu for phones is a work in progress. It hasn't
been made
Well I am not quite that pessimistic Bob,
I am just saying if no oems are doing a new Ubuntu phone any time soon, you
would need a relatively current reference device that is stable. Just to
tide every one over till that time does come again. Say an N5 or N6. I
congratulate you on getting your han
Great summary, Mathijs,
I have been using first a Meizu MX4 and then a Meizu MX5 Pro successfully
here in Vancouver, Canada as my daily driver.
But in the absence of real devices, there is little point in the project
continuing. It would just be a drain of limited funding for Canonical,

Hi
(Jo-Erlend, I think you are missing the point: There aren't any phones for
new user to get. But worse: there are no phones for active users/developers
to replace theirs if broken. There haven’t been for quite some time. That's
bad because it is really hampering community involvement, let alone
Why are you even asking if Meizu of Bq has lost interest? Do you know
something I don't? The point was to produce a small number of phones for
people who really want it and knows why. Developers and enthusiasts. This
was announced as the strategy from the very beginning, long before there
were any
That logic holds true for users that are not USA based. For those of us who
are, we run into the following series of troubles. 1) All of the Meizu
phones are not FCC licensed and therefore can't be used in the USA. 2) The
Nexus 4 is too fragile for everyday use. I ran through 4 $125 screen
