It's not worth it. Check the reviews of the Meizu handsets that run Ubuntu - they suffer from terrible battery life, camera performance, app performance (if you manage to find any) and is generally a bit buggy.

Take a look. The great thing is Meizu released the phone with both Android and Ubuntu so it is directly comparable.

how was the device performance

I just stunned by the design of honor 5c i want to purchase it give me the suggestion friends
got my device today, is performing good, not the best i would say, lags a bit in its own system settings like in swype menu etc (i think thats not properly optimised) , but overall performance is really good, just check the multicore geekbench score n you'll be amazed, no heating even while charging and using the device heavily for 2 hours!! Camera is also good in its price range, better than redmi note 3 for sure
excellent device, nice performance, dosent heat up at all!!!!!!
It's just what would you expect from it
multitastking in 5c is better than 5x, especillay switching between apps is a breeze

Excleent preformance, no lags at all
Awesome camera.
The only let down is poor ram management,lack of voLTE and USB OTG

[Question] What is the possibility of CM 14 on the Zuk Z1?

I am planning to buy a Zuk Z1 which comes pre-loaded with COS 5.1.1 and still hasn't received COS 13 update; however CM13 is available and pretty stable. Now I'll buy the phone only if it receives CM14 sometime down the road. The phone has a Snapdragon 801. Is there a possibility that it'll receive CM14? I know it's hard to tell for sure but any seasoned people could make some gusses? Any help appreciated.
Personally I wouldn't buy this phone anymore, it's a decent device but you can get better phones for the same amount of money

If the OnePlus One will get Cm14 then will this phone also get Cm14. Mabye by cyanogenmod official or unofficial.

The OPO should get CM14. It's backed by a very, very strong developer community. Also, why hasn't ZUK seen the likes of MIUI ported? It's already there for OPO.
I'm a crack flasher, so I love trying out all sorts of ROMs, but I'm inept at 'porting' ROMs.

Even I'd love to know about a better phone at this price point.
So zuk z1 will support android 7.0 right??
Sent from my Z1 using Tapatalk
A better phone at this price point may be the the Redmi Note 3 Pro. From what I can see the Redmi has better hardware, faster 64 bit CPU, better screen, cheaper. The ZUK has a better camera, no SD card (bad if you want to flash from SD card or backup to SD card) older CPU but still ok. Front fingerprint scanner is also a plus instead of rear on Redmi. Redmi runs MIUI and CM
If you have had your ZUK Z1 a while are you glad you got this and not the a Redmi note 3?
Right now we can't say anything about COS14 but if the devs at cynogen mod are concerned about this device they might release CM14 for us
but the question is In India during the launch of zuk z1 lenovo claimed that they will provide updates for this device and we did not get a single update up until now
so thankful to the devs at XDA for developing roms and continue the android cycle of this phone
and i hope they do so for Android 7.0
Calm down guys! ?? it will definiely get CM14, unofficial or official.

I agree. I have two major concerns:
1. Availability of CM14 on the device. If not official, then unofficial. The unofficial part is a little dodgy because there aren't A LOT of ROMs for the Z1 which are updated on a daily basis. The updates for a device also depend on how popular a device is among the developer community. I can't really say about the Z1.
2. The aging SD 801. How does it compare to the 64 bit 650?
Other than that, spec-wise, the 64GB memory and OIS wins it over the RN3 for me.

I think from this point is all about preferences. I prefer a large display with a good dpi and colors and 64 Gigs of rom on a marshmallow nuclear rom. Redmi 3 pro is worh it also but i m having it now on spacex rom lolipop waiting to unlock the bootolader
and maybe get a CM rom.

SO which phones are the best competitor to a ZUK Z1?
Yes bro it will receive cm14 officially from cyanogenmod not from android
I wouldn't recommend the ZUK Z1 to anyone. Btw, typing this from my Z1.
The phone and the hardware is great. It's the crappy Cyanogen that makes the phone trash worthy.
Cyanogen is upto its neck with bugs. I too was excited when I first bought the Z1 but now repent that decision after using for 3 months.
Again, the phone is great. The OS is crap.
Experimental buil 7.0 launched on one plus one ...so wait

Camera is ok
Battery is below average
Lags
Has many bugs
Memory is slow
Sound management is **** (blame android i guess)

Coming from a Sony Xperia XA I had got for free this phone is so bad I really need to change it asap

it lags everytime and freezes sometimes.

64bit kernel

Can i build a 64bit kernel from the existing kernel source code here?
https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/kernel-msm/releases/tag/MMI-ODS27.104-31-2
This phone has great portential am sure it can perform well on 64bit gsi roms, we just need a 64bit kernel and will also be able to use the existing Gcam for perfect photos.
I have read around and came across 64bit kernels and roms built for devices that were initially 32bit. But am not sure if we only need a 64bit boot.img or the bootloader and other stuff also need to be modified to support that code.
Probably won't be possible for a little while more.

Also need /vendor, blobs, etc. and... Whole new device tree or common tree. (For ROMs anyway)
For GSI, I would think minimum, 64 bit vendor

Its possible, Vache did it for the Moto G5 plus which was initially 32bit. I tried contacting him, but unfortunately he says he cant help unless he had the device.

So much more possibilities would open with a 64-bit kernel (64-bit TWRP, Potentially ARM64 Treble, as well as apps that require 64-bit kernels). I would love to see a 64-bit kernel come to the Moto G6!

You are right, we could enjoy better performance, better camera (gcam), 64bit recoveries like Orange fox and vast GSI roms. Hope somebody will work on it or come over to guide on how to do it.
i dont think switching to 64 bit will give us ANY better performance. Fortnight will still not work, literally the only benefit would be better GSI support (though, they'll need to be extremely customized by developers still in order to have a properly working phone still) GCAM is going to suck with vignetting still like we get on the 32 bit, older version.

Trust me, performance would improve, about fortnight gaming aint a priority for some of us. And gcam would work well if we have gcam version 5 and up. Like on the moto g5s, gcam works superb with sd 450 i got my facts straight

What do you not understand? It's pretty obvious that performance would improve. And regarding the "heavily customized GSI's to work with this phone", do you just have a hatred towards this phone? Android Oreo 32bit GSI's ran well (I never got Android Pie GSI's running), and literally THE ENTIRE POINT of the GSI is to be a Generic System Image, if a 64-bit kernel was released, most 64-bit GSI's would probably run. Also with the Gcam thing, The app doesn't decide the photo quality (and the G6 does take good photos for it's price range, it feels like you are trying to compare it to a Galaxy S10), the camera itself does.
Simply,
Fortnite isn't a priority.
Camera quality is usually determined by the camera itself.
GSI's wouldn't need to be heavily customized.
Performance would improve.
64-bit kernels naturally just run better than 32-bit kernels.

64bit is known to use ram efficiently. Gcam ports for 64bit are pleanty, will just need to choose one with less bugs. You should have some hope, you sound hopeless

How one device performs doesn't decide how all devices perform. Not only that, but you are comparing a tablet that was released in 2014 to a phone released in 2019. It sure sounds like you are saying 64-bit is inferior. There are several holes in your logic there, because first of all, all software will support 64-bit processors by August, and quite a few apps will probably become exclusive to 64-bit kernels and operating systems.

You have it a bit, muddied. Everything will be backward compatible for a while.
But I was saying, a processor capable of running 64 bit Android, will handle better on 32. I don't care for games on a phone, or camera apps with functions this phone will never have.
For day to day use, it will handle a bit better on 32. Trying to push this chip to Max itself out trying to manage 64 bit instructions and calculations isn't the answer to better performance.
But I can tell you're not going to listen to me. And I'm not trying to convince you.
The Nexus 9 part was just an example, not a direct comparison

After reading that, I realize where you're coming from, and I took that out of context. I should've realized the Nexus 9 part was a example. And while yes, a 64-bit kernel wouldn't directly better performance, it would open up more possibilities regarding customization (for example, ARM64 GSI's would eventually work if we did this), but for now, we don't need a 64-bit kernel, and we should wait until it becomes a little bit more important (once apps begin abandoning 32-bit).

But in reality you know there will be better resource handling on a 64bit kernel. It's alright if you don't care, some of us do. If you don't care, don't brush off the whole idea. Just be comfortable with 32bit then.

Question LineageOS

Are there any dev / maintainers for LOS with the pro 10 working on a build?
I assume there are, but they are working on tree and some sutff around that. I read somewhere that OP didn't release proper drivers etc for it because our OSS is more like in beta or alpha stage, so wait for it. It will come sooner or later.
Not sure about a proper device maintainer but there was another post about aosp/lineage gsi that worked. It's on page 6 if I last recall. There's the link to the release.

Yeah that's definitely throttled (it should be around 125) but nowhere near as bad as they were doing it on the 9 series where we got 15-20 when we should have gotten 105.

I just wish they would stop doing it period. It doesn't help battery much and it is really noticeable in the browser even though the throttle is system-wide in OOS12 instead of the blacklist in OOS11.

Not to the extent that it ended up being affected. OnePlus has so far shown no interest is reverting their throttling behavior so I would have been very surprised if you didn't have it. At least it's not this though... This is stock OOS 11.2.10.10 on my 9 last night as I haven't rooted it yet to flash the module that disables part of the throttling.
I'd hope once lineage releases it'll pave the way for others , this phone needs a custom ROM like a fat kid needs cake
