Ulefone just announced that they’ve partnered with some developers to build a CyanogenMod to run on the Ulefone Metal. But there’s more!
Only two weeks ago Ulefone started inviting developers to work on custom ROMs for the Ulefone Metal, they went as far as releasing the kernel source code for anyone to download. You can find it here.
As of now Ulefone have come to an arrangement with 3 devs which will be developing the CyanogenMod and two more exclusive ROMs. Ulefone will give the devs free devices that they’ll use to work on. The recruitment is still open if anybody’s still interested, you’ll be required to post on Ulefone’s official forum for more details.

More info about the Ulefone Metal
The Ulefone Metal is a 5.0-inch handset which sports 3GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage (expandable), a Sony IMX149 sensor equipped camera, MTK6753 CPU and a beefy (for the size) 3050mAh battery. It also features a fingerprint scanner on the back.
The Ulefone Metal is now available for around the $109 mark, with a flip case and a tempered glass screen protector in the box as extras. We’ve taken receipt of our testing sample, and findings will be published very soon.
Here’s a video compilation of Ulefone Metal’s features:
Yeah at least ulefone is working on their software, I think this is going the extra mile really, think about it they could just release the phone and call it a day like many other oems
the ONLY thing missing now is a killer flagship with sd 820/821 OR EVEN a 652 (considering SD chips are expensive af for smaller phonemakers)
i hope Ulefone realize this soon !
Lol I hope they get an x20 at least XD but Qualcomm they are a bit criminal in charging based on the percentage of the overall phone rather than set prices they got into serious troubles over this
why do qualcomm have to be such bitches … if they can be a bit lax , im sure they would be more widely accepted and much more popular !
Is a beautiful thing!!! I think that all the brands should create one situation like this, so if they leave the official development, someone can continue the work, and improve it…
