ELEPHONE WORKING ON THEIR OWN “Ele Flash” TOOL FOR EASY ROM INSTALLATION

Elephone are working working on their own PC suite which will allow owners of Elephone phones quickly, and easily update their devices with updates or custom ROMS.
Flash tools are nothing new in the Chinese phone market. At one point most Chinese brands offered their own PC tool for maintaining phones, with some 3rd party companies producing systems for multiple devices.
For the international market a similar tool hasn’t been so easy to come by, but after UMi released its RootJoy tool a few weeks back we are seeing other brands jump on the wagon and offer something of their own.

These screenshots come from Elephone’s own version of a PC Suite named “Ele Flash”. The system is still in development but from the images we can gather that the tool will let users backup, and arrange their storage, and install optional ROM’s with a simply click of a button.
In the menu there are already options for CyanogenMod, MIUI, EMUI, Lewa and Flyme ROMS, with more options to be added in the future.
Elephone say that their tool will be initially released for just their own phones, but in the future they hope to add support for all phones with a Mediatek chipset. We will bring you more news as we get it.

Waiting to get your hands on the Elephone P7000? So are we and we cannot wait to try out ColorOS and Flyme on the phone.

In the following video Elephone have loaded Meizu’s Flyme OS and Oppo’s ColorOS on their, soon to be released, Elephone P7000 smartphone.

Elephone have been working on adding custom ROMS to plenty of their smartphones over the past few months and we have seen ports of MIUI, LEWA, and even CyanogenMod on Elephone phones in the past.

In the video (link below) ColorOS and Flyme seem to be working quite well on the 64bit MT6752, 3GB RAM phone, maybe not has snappy as the ROM’s might be native phones but pretty good for a first release. Both ROM versions, ColorOS 2.0.1 and Flyme 4.2.0, are based on Android 4.4.4 Kitkat.

In the video we get to see the camera application and it appears that the various camera feature from both ROMs are available which is very interesting, it would be good to see how well the camera performs as well as seeing if the fingerprint scanner actually works too.
Let’s hope that these ROMs and others are available for the P7000 at launch.

One thing I noticed was that, the capacitive buttons don't light up. Not a big letdown whatsoever but still it's upsetting a bit.

Elephone’s flagship P7000 will be available through a flash sale reservation starting tomorrow at the incredibly low-price of $159.99. Full details after the jump.

The Elephone P7000 Pioneer has been a very long time coming. We first saw details of this flagship Mediatek phone at the start of the year and now finally, after a few changes, the phone is going on sale.

Details for the Elephone P7000 include a 5.5-inch FHD display, 3GB RAM, LTE, rear fingerprint scanner, Mediatek MT6752 processor and 13 mega-pixel main camera. Lollipop out of the box sweetens the deal.

As we reported earlier in the month, a pre launch reservation sale will begin tomorrow (25th April), with the P7000 coming in at an amazing $159.99 for a limited time only.

To take part in the flash sale you will need to follow the steps below;

Head over to the Elephone.hk website from 9am (GMT 0:00) 25th April to 10 May.
Enter your details and wait for your ‘ELE’ code to arrive.
On the 11th May ‘ELE’ code holders will be able to buy the Elephone P7000 for only $159.99, but it will be a first come first serve deal with limited stocks.
Anyone who is familiar with Xiaomi’s F code method of selling will understand how the Elephone sale will work.

So will you be taking part in this intro offer? We hope to receive a review sample of the P7000 in the next week or so.

They are wasting too much time with this phone sotay one would lose interest. When the hell will it be available in stores, Konga and the rest for one to buy? That is all I need to know. All this flash sale and presale rubbish is annoying .

How can I make pre order for the phone?

Needed urgently.

Thank you.
