Elephone P9000 gets a source code update and some other minor fixes


Elephone have just announced that following the latest published source code for the Elephone P9000 last month we are getting a new update today.

Originally the Elephone P9000 received the first version of the CyanogenMod 13 firmware using the native kernel, but with the latest source code update we should see the new version of CM13 with modified and customized kernel containing various fixes released in matter of days.

    I’m really keeping an eye on elephones products, just because they DO update their phones. A bit.
    Not enough (if any) update is definitively THE weak point of MTK / Chines phones compared to international brands.
