I'm just buying this Huawei Mediapad X1 and install app. Sometimes app cannot install in playstore "your device isn't compatible with this version." I'm downloading the apk and install but failed. Here the list:
- Foursquare --> your device isn't compatible with this version in playstore. Googling and i have the apk, installed it in E File Explorer and failed. Cannot installed.
- Google Plus --> searching in playstore and no result.
- BBM --> installing success, not tested, in playstore isn't compatible with this version.
- Agoda --> same like foursquare. Failed.
Why this app cannot be installed in my Mediapad X1? I'm using the newest Kitkat 4.4.2 ROM 501U R002 B010.
Sorry for my bad english.

It may depend from the 400 dpi introduced by 4.4.2. Unfortunately Huawei has made this very bad choice for 4.4.2 on Mediapad X1… you can change the dpi (320,as in 4.2.2, is fine) with some tricks, but this results in some other stuff broken. Many of us here are hoping the next release will fix this issue. So far, we have had an update from Huawei almost every month… let us keep wishing…

Thanks for the reply.
Wish the next OTA update will fix this issue and i can download all apps without problem.
The list of stuff that is incompatible with the new 400DPI keeps growing longer.
I went to install the new Angry Birds Stella today only to find its incompatible as are a bunch of the other Angry Birds versions...
Gas Buddy doesn't work anymore either, I used that quite a bit before.
Huawei, please help!
Is there is really no chances to fix this? What is breaking when switching back to 320 DPI?

The only fix is to have Huawei redo their framework for 320DPI like it was in 4.2.2.
There isn't any good way to fix the DPI without breaking other things unfortunately.
The only thing that might work is rooting the phone and using Xposed Framework to be able to change DPI per app individually, but I have been unsuccessful in getting that working so far as Huawei has their own framework on this rom.
I see... Ok Lets hope for a chance that Huawei will listen the public opinion.

Hopefully this phone becomes popular enough for CyanogenMod to pick it up. (Assuming Huawei releases the driver source) I'd love to see a more stripped down Android on this thing. It's a like sluggish at times, needs to be free from the Huawei stuff...

Will Google Launcher solve the DPI and Apps installation?
I dont use google launcher . And this launcher can be installed n works too as confirmed by some Malaysian users. Strange indeed some users cannot even installed some app. My unit still at 400dpi which I find not significantly much bigger than 320dpi. There is no to.sf.lcd density in build.prop file for you to change this value. I am using Nova launcher

B102 for 501L (out Sept 6, 2014). no problem installing apps like foursquare, google plus, agoda, etc. You have the newer ROM.
B010 for 501U and 503L (out Aug 15, 2014) is the problem. Me and people use this rom build waiting for the next OTA update, i hope fixed the DPI issue like B102 for 501L.

Mine is 7D-501uV100R002C208B008 - maybe the L and U signify different things - anyway loads of stuff doesn't work anymore
Is there a way to go back to 4.2?
Thanks
If your model is 7D-501u, you have the 3G version, which is supposed to be sold in China. It can be used in other countries if the cellular bands are compatible. But for ROM update, you will need to visit Huawei's Chinese website.
For 7D-501u, if you want to go back to Android 4.2, the ROM version is: V100R001C233B021. It comes with EMUI 2.0.
Click the link below to download:
http://www.emui.com/nsp/geturl.php?path=7D-501u_EMUI2.0_Android 4.2_V100R001C233B021.zip&rid=771
Place the file on your SD card and flash it. Note that it will wipe your data. So back up first.
There is a not-publicly-released version that is Android 4.4 + EMUI 2.3 + 320dpi, ROM version is V100R002C553B001, downloadable at:
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...g0/v15243/f2/full/7D-501uV100R002C553B001.zip
Same as the above one, SD card flash, back up data first.

A leaked Kitkat ROM has already been posted here, but there are some issues with it. Hopefully Huawei fixes the DPI issue and the poor wifi/cellular radio because it was much smoother and faster than the 4.2.2 we have now.

I have a 7D-503L. Currently installing 15 Aug KK update B10.
Is it 503L or 501?
impossible to install
I went from boo2 to boo7 same Chinese version, the site instructs to use Sim for upgrade but links for software won't work . page needs translation and is almost impossible to upgrade thru site ,very dissatisfied with site,soon as I can find recovery software am going to version bo10, no way to go from boo7 to boo8
if the system was Rooted, the download fails.
Must reset the system then the download works.
For information there is a slight update with no visible change. The system retains the previous settings.
Thanks for the tip.
Reset how? Just stop super su and reboot?
Or actually factory reset? (that would be too much effort...)

I have a French phone and that appears like this:
"Paramètres / Sauvegarder et réinitialiser / Restaurer les valeurs d'usine."
I suppose :
Settings / Save and Reset / Reset to factory defaults.
Was afraid of that.
I will wait to hear from more feedback from users. As is, I will probably revert back to B006. Wifi 5GHz did not work but GSM connectivity was outstanding. Or as you would say fantastique!
B008 works great! Yes its a step backwards from 4.4 to 4.2, but the lag with the B007 is much less now, it feels pretty snappy, as good as the B010 (4.4)
However wifi and 3g seem to be much improved! Especially for me in the USA. Yes! this is a huge thing for me!
320DPI is awesome again and I can install all those apps that weren't compatible before with the 400DPI 4.4 roms.
This is the best version for the 503L. forget B010...

I noticed that too but to me that's pretty much it.
no other notable changes from the B007.
Obviously, it is still better than the b010 :good:
So, I've installed the full ROM from the EMUI site.
All data including root survived!!
I haven't had any Wi-Fi issues. Can confirm that 5GHz is still there. GSM will be checked during the week.
One thing I have noticed: GPS which was always good, definitely got better. More than a meter from the window, where I previously could not get a fix, I get a very goog one within seconds.
Added:
Seems like brightness adjustment has been tweaked towards the lower setting (=brighter).

For me B008 was a huge improvement over B010.
B010 has a really snappy feel to it, performs good and eliminates the lag after opening the lock screen.
That's it however...
B010 has issues with...
Wifi and 3G signal cutting out frequently
400DPI (Makes a bunch of app incompatible)
Apps shutting down in the background after a while (You wont get messages from people on data services like, Whatsapp, Line, etc...)
My biggest issues was the signal drops, those are far less frequent on B008, Yeah there is more lag and performance issues, but it is a much more functional rom and is probably why its the newest rom they have put out...
Thanks! I just downgraded to B008 and so far it is a huge improvement over B007. Much smoother and the DPI issue makes it a fair tradeoff for KitKat.

Stock recovery and CWM recovery 7D-503L 4.2.2
Hello good. I have the 7D-503L MediaPad X1 android version 4.2.2 (B008). The strange thing is that I get the "build.prop" file that is in the system folder as (ro.build.product = hw 7D-501L). All updates are for 7D-503L. Anyway, I lost the stock recovery with which I can not install the custom recovery.
As much as I have researched I can not get a picture of the stock recovey nor custom CWM recovery for this verision and I need to update, backup, etc.
Does anyone have them? It could flash recovery? .If So could pass me.
Thanks and greetings to all
Hmm just realized I never reported back on GSM phone performance of B008: not as good as B006 was, but MUCH better than B007.
@menradio
idem for me, I have the same reference. Yet, it is, indeed, a 503L.
Below is the latest Huawei Official KItaKat Beta for 7D-501u (3G Mediapad X1 aka Honor X1 in China).
Main characteristics of this ROM are 320DPI and a whopping 1.4-1.5GB of free memory after boot.
Initial feedback by Chinese users is positive.
YMMV
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...g0/v15243/f2/full/7D-501uV100R002C553B001.zip
If you encounter problems running this beta, 'fraid not, just download the latest official 501u ROMs from Huawei and flash it back.
JB 4.2.2 / EMUI 2.0 / 320DPI - http://www.emui.com/nsp/geturl.php?path=7D-501u_EMUI2.0_Android 4.2_V100R001C233B021.zip&rid=771

Sorry, my bad, i copied some of the contents from my 503L thread, already corrected the mistake (the links were the correct 501u ROMs though).
To answer your qn, it is possible to flash 501u ROM onto 503L, but that would be pointless as LTE will almost certainly not work.
Anyone has tried this rom? Really need feedback before jumping in.
Does it come with google play and other necessary google stuff?

definitely no google services 'pre-installed' in China ROMs (all the 3 above are China ROMs).
u can however 'wake' them up by removing /cust/channel/XXX_XX_XX/xml/UNSTALL_APK.XML (/XXX_XX_XX is the only folder inside /channel; its name may vary from ROM to ROM)
will update the thread if i can find international version of 501u ROMs.
I successfully flashed it at the second time with another bigger rom download.
I can say that it is not worth of flashing because font size is very small and chrome is not compatible totally with phone page.
So, I decided to flash back to C233B010.
Don't waist your time.
any good for this rom? I'm running the 4.4.2 400dpi imui 3.0 which has two annoying issues:
1. can't set Nova Launcher as a default launcher
2. it is mobile UI, not tablet-optimized ui as in official 4.2.2 imui 2.0.
Does it has the above two issues?
How is it different from the 400dpi one? (already root, solve the google+ things).
Hi,
I'm running the 4.4.2 emui 3.0 400dpi from the below xda post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-mediapad/general/rom-kitkat-4-4-2-emui-3-0-400-dpi-t2925015
rooted it with iroot, solved the google+ compatibility as suggested in this board, now all incompatible apps are compatible.
My only problem is I hate the mobile UI on this 400dpi rom (prefer the tablet UI as in the official rom b020/b021, or, I guess, on any 320dpi rom).
I intend to update the rom to the one post here (320dpi). I've tried several times without success. It recogized my update file and after it spent some time loading the file on the updating display, it reported failed every time. What I did was creating dload folder, put the update.app into it with some other small files I brought from this 400dpi upgrade; or from other roms.
I also downloaded and tried updating with the official kitkat 400dpi (international rom, B102) from Huawei Germany website, it also failed at the same point (the display which has big EMUI banner)
I tried both on 32gb class 10, and 4gb class 4 microsd card.
Anyone had experience in updating your X1 (7D-501u) from 400dpi to 320dpi? What small files you put inside and outside dload folder (please share those files)? Any tips would be really appreciated.
I've flashed this rom 2 days ago and I'm very pleased by its performance. after removing huawei chinese bloatware it has more than 1.5gig of free ram!
compare to previous rom I'd have (EMUI3.0/400dpi/b002) it is very smooth and fast
the UI is not as polished as EMUI3.0 but not a single lag. the wireless is very stable too
however I have 2 problem with that
1. battery is not as good as B020 or B021 (I think google services make it worse)
2. double-tab-wakeup does not work (like other 4.4 roms)

Hi,
I have Honor Mediapad X1 build 7D-501uV100R001C228B002. I am unable to find an update via OTA. But I have read about chinese firmware update which work without any problem.
Please suggest me the best update which won't mess up my current 320 DPI. I have read many threads here and yet I am confused which firmware to update.

There is only one Kitkat (4.4.2) Official Beta firmware that has 320 DPI framework on EMUI 2.3 (7D-501uV100R002C553B001). All other official Kitkat released firmwares have EMUI 3.0 with 400 DPI framework and 3rd party app settings at 400 or 320 DPI.
Official latest KitKat EMUI 3.0 400 DPI firmware is 7D-501uV100R002C208B011.
So take your call based on what you expect from the new firmware.

Yes. I am using this rom and is very satisfied with the battery as well as the RAM availability. If you root the device then you can even change the DPI from build.prop file. When you set it to 220/240, the UI changes to Tablet mode. However, the icons are not displayed properly by EMUI 2.3 but if you use another launcher such as Go, Nova, Apex then the icons are displayed correctly.
Gud Luck.
Thanks. I'll try that ROM. I am satisfied with the current 320DPI. So I'll stick to that.

Note that B011 kitkat for 501u has a per-app-dpi setting. Maybe so, you won't have to change the framework dpi with adb or build prop , just choose wich third party app will laucnh in 320 DPI.
Note also that ther is a custom version of the B011, called "Kangvip", which offers you some extra (like split screen). Has to be applied on an already EMUI 3.0 ROM (like B011 for example). More infos: http://forum.xda-developers.com/hua...x1-503l-501u-emui3-0-b011-hrtkangvip-t3058112

Even if you can find a suitable Custom ROM with a higher Android version, I think you'll fail with upgrading: the tablet is an outdated. low-end one ( 4-core processor running at 1.3GHz, with 1GB of RAM ).

Hi, i can't find anywhere any links on how to upgrade this to a much higher version. I would like only to use this one for youtube because of its bigger screen..
My problem is that when i try to open Youtube, it says update yet i already i updated it countless times..
Here's i always do:
1. I open settings and go to apps and select Youtube and Uninstall updates
2. Go to Playstore and update Youtube
3. After updating I click Open
Sometimes this work and sometimes not.. this method is so tiring..
i can't find any fix on this.. I would like only to use the TAB for Youtube purposes..
I hope someone could help.. Thanks

Upgrading device's Stock ROM requires
1. Flashing a Custom Recovery that is at 100% suitable to device ( I guess it doesn't exist any )
2. Flashing a Custom ROM that is at 100% applicable ( I guess it doesn't exist any ) by means of previousy flashed Custom Recovery

Weird that it sometimes works... Tried on an old tablet. When it "works" it just gives 400 error but there is maybe another reason for that. Always installs version 13.03.60. Clear data seems to be enough to avoid that update screen. But why not just use browser? Even the default one works. Don't know about FlyTube but should work on android 4.0+.

You could try this. Could work. Played a little and found out that deleting youtube.xml from /data/data/com.google.android.youtube/shared_prefs/ makes it show the main screen, or
would if there wasn't that 400 error. So, remove it and chmod -w that shared_prefs dir .
Then it cannot write it there again. You'll need be rooted for that. Some rooting solutions here:

It's my dad that will be using this TAB for him to pass some times... already did the clearing of data but no success.. usually the one that works for me is to uninstall the app and update to a newer version..
I'm afraid rooting the tab would brick it so i did not try it.. hehehe
will try to download Flytube o tell my dad to just use the browser..
Thanks for the help sir... Thank you very much.. Stay safe..
