Updates & Custom Roms for Elephone Trunk & P8000

The guys and girls over on the Elephone forums have been busy bunnies and today we have news of Updates & Custom Roms for Elephone Trunk & P8000

The first Rom and the Rom that will certainly be getting a lot of attention from  custom Rom installers like myself is the Elephone Trunk port of Cyanogenmod 13 the build date for the Rom is 2015-11-24 just over a week ago. the Rom is based on Android 6.0 making the Trunk one of the first phones from China to run the latest Marshmallow OS.

It will be interesting trying out this version of the OS and getting to see how well the Trunk runs Cyanogenmod 13 seeing what works and what bugs there are to iron out.

As the Trunk is running a Qualcomm CPU and has identical hardware to the ARK Benefit A3 that it is getting a fair amount of attention from Russian devs, we should start to see a lot more Roms soon.

The second Rom is an update to the previous version of the Meizu Flyme rom, this new Rom version is 4.5.4 the build date is 2015-12-01 and the Rom is based on Android 5.1
