Hello @kuailexs, my Dear UBPorts and Meizu PRO 5 Friend

Your post has given a hope to me that there might be a chance to get UBPorts 20.04 work on Meizu PRO 5
Dear @kuailexs would you be so kind to share with us what is the progress and what kind of help you might need, please?

Thanks in advance and kind regards ~~ Piotrek~~pe3no

Dear @kuailexs, I strongly admire your UT20.4 Efforts for Meizu PRO 5 and I wish you the Success !!!

7). I would be happy to help you - would you have any "monkey tasks" for me - something simple/repeatable to start... maybe in this De-compilation Process or something else if that would be difficult for someone who does not have experience, in order to give you additional time for these more difficult stages of Meizu PRO 5 Porting Process? I could try to do some "test tasks", to check if I'm able to, if your time spent for explanation would not exceed the total time to execute these tasks on your side, to avoid that I would consume too much of your time?

8). BTW, I'm looking for the Flyme OS 5.1.3.0A Firmare for Meizu PRO 5 (and more), as I mentioned here:

Dear @kuailexs - sorry, a small correction in my "7)." - I added "NOT" - sorry for my mistake...

[CORRECTED] - 7).

Hello again, Dear @kuailexs,

9). Now I feel ready to get fully involved and assist you in porting MeizuPro5 to Ubuntu Touch 20.04 because I learned to manually install Ubuntu Touch at this phone.
10). FYI, I install manually because for some unknown reasons ADB does not really want to work on my MeizuPro5, Therefore, I download the 4 *.xz files from repo (device-*tar.xz/keyring-*tar.xz/ubports-*tar.xz/version-*tar.xz), I copy them to micro SD, and under TWRP Terminal I extract them to "/" folder and I flash images manually using "dd", as described here: https://github.com/wdbm/TFLOSSH/blob/master/turbo.md
and here: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/9569/manual-ubuntu-touch-anbox-installation-meizupro5
Thanks in advance and kind regards ~~ Piotrek~~pe3no

Dear @kuailexs,

11). The Flyme 8.0.5.0A (Android 7), released 2020-07-08/14 - can it be helpful for porting our MeizuPro5 phones to 20.04?
