The Ulefone Be Touch 2 already ships with a stock installation of Android Lollipop, but the company will soon offer popular custom ROMs for the phone for users to try soon enough.
A pure Android experience used to be a difficult feature to find on a Chinese phone, but now the majority of the newer smartphones are coming with just that based on Android Lollipop. Although the shift has been welcomed by many, there are users who prefer the additional function and personality a custom ROM can offer a phone.
“People want a that provide different interaction experiences and variable themes, and in the same time, they want it to be light for best performance. We’ll take both the factors into consideration and make something people feel inspiring and good to use simultaneously ”, said Ulefone CEO Jason Liu.
Gizchina News of the week
In an attempt to keep all Be Touch 2 owners happy, Ulefone have confirmed today that they are working on a couple of custom ROMs for the flagship Ulefone Be Touch 2. The ROMs mentioned include Flyme (Meizu’s operating system), CyanogenMod, MIUI (Xiaomi) and EMUI (Huawei ROM).
The choices of ROM were decided upon after the company held a poll on their Facebook page. There is currently no word on a release date for the ROMs.
The Ulefone Be Touch 2 is an updated version of the Be Touch. If features a 2.5D Gorilla Glass 3 FHD display, 3GB RAM, Mediatek MT6752 processor, 13 mega-pixel Sony IMX214 rear camera and a Touch ID style fingerprint scanner.

This sounds really good. I hope they do a better job than the developers from Ecoo who also puke out multiple ROM’s (FlymeOS, JiayuOS, ColorOS, etc) but none of them really work well. No support for the fingerprint scanner and most options and features of the device don’t work, give crashes etc.
But the mere idea of Ulefone thinking about the users and providing more ROM-choice is enough for me; I’ve bought the phone 🙂 Hope it gets to me fast
Edit: wait, isn’t Ulefone asking the public which ROM to develop instead of ‘that they are working on a couple of custom ROMs for the flagship’ ?
