Elephone P5000 leaked with a choice of 6 ROM options

AndiMarch 7, 2015

Elephone are really embracing the development community that has sprung up around their brand, and thanks to private developer efforts 6 new ROM options will be made available for the Elephone P5000.

Elephone has stressed that these ROMs are fan made (possibly just to avoid legal action) and will be made available for all Elephone P5000 users to take advantage of very soon. The ROM options include MIUI, Cyanogenmod, EMUI, Touchwhizz, YunOS and stock Android. It appears that each ROM version is built on Android 4.4 Kitkat, but at the current rate of development Lollipop versions should be available soon.

The Elephone P5000 is a large battery phone carrying a 5350mAh cell beneath a 5-inch 1080 display. The phone also runs a MT6592 processor, 2GB RAM, dual SIM and a 13 mega-pixel rear camera.

    Yash actually somebody should advise Elephone to some how give a heart transplant of MT 6752 to P5000..this would make the phone eminently desirable instead of virtual clunker it is at present..he.he..

        This is the funny thing about the new 64 bit craze, its virtually useless without 5.0.

    Tell them to update it and add 3Gb ram it it will be perfect! that’s the spec that this phone should have!
    I have choose this spec at their forum on December if I remember correctly. But elephone made it different as they promised!

This is something every smaller brand should do. Rather than force a cheap, poorly made UI onto consumers give them either stock Android or give them a choice.
