With the enhancement of mobile phone configuration and the requirements of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the application must be deleted/uninstalled. In recent years, many third-party ROM package providers have announced their withdrawal. Major mobile phone brands have also announced the closure of one of the core functions of Android phones, 'Root Permissions'. Meizu is no exception. However, now Meizu boss Huang Zhang said that Meizu Flyme system will completely open Root permissions!
Recently, there are charm friends posting in the Meizu community: 'Without Apple's life, I got Apple's disease, even a complete Root has various restrictions, the file manager can't get it out...' In response, Huang Zhang responded: ' Inform Flyme to completely open Root. ' This means that soon after, the Meizu Flyme operating system can also be free.
To know that, in September 2017, Meizu suddenly announced that it will permanently turn off the phone's root function. The reason is that 'open root permissions have brought many unnecessary problems to users, such as finding phone failures, file loss, password leakage, phone performance. Declining, system instability, and many unknown faults caused by open root permissions. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the mobile phone, to avoid losses, while ensuring the stability of the mobile phone and improving the user experience, we have turned off the mobile phone root permission. , only the developer version can get online root permissions.
After a lapse of nearly a year, why did Meizu think of re-opening Root Permissions?
In the view of Xiaobian, there are the following aspects:
First, although the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has explicitly requested that the application be deleted, not all mobile phones are applicable. And after the Root permission is turned off, in addition to the security improvement, what are the advantages of the Meizu Flyme system? System fluency and equipment life time Can not guarantee, let Meizu lose some users.
Second, although Meizu Flyme manages system permissions very strictly, the official does not provide any form of BL unlocking, and does not open Root permissions. Its system closure is comparable to Apple iOS, and the user experience is also among the best in the Android camp. At present, Meizu's model is still in the Android 6.0 M system, and the upcoming new flagship Meizu 16 will barely catch up with the progress of the Android O 7.0 Oreo system, and the official version of Android P 9.0 will arrive in a few months. After opening the Root privilege, it is possible for users to try Google Android earlier.
Third, after re-emphasizing Meizu, Huang Zhang has repeatedly mentioned that he will reform the equipment and the Flyme system. He also said that 'Meizu 15 is just a small test, and Meizu 16 is a new product that is fully created', which can be seen on Meizu 16 High hope. As a dream machine, in addition to the full screen, Snapdragon 845, screen fingerprints and other flagship configurations, Meizu 16 will also spend some thoughts on the smoothness of the Flyme system, including the solution of Root permissions and Android system underlying upgrade issues. .

It should be noted that 'Root' is the only way to get the highest authority (administrator) of the mobile phone system. After the phone root, the user becomes a super user. You can add, modify, and delete the system content at will, for example, by deleting, disabling one. Apps/features for a smoother experience, more hidden features, new ways to play, but device security is also affected, the system can't get updates (currently Google official no longer supports root devices, from Android 5.0 lollipop starts, the system update will only support phones that have not been rooted.) Presumably, the Flyme system will have a corresponding solution in this regard.
Regardless of the final result, reopening the Flyme system Root privilege is undoubtedly good news for some Meizu enthusiasts.
