For me , kitkat performs better but i have tried only the french lollipop ( the 1st lollipop that came out). Choppy unlock , slower slide up-down on contacts, worse gps signal, a little smaller battery life, increase of the temperature, 1,2GB ram cosnumption ( i have 850MB average on kitkat ).
I don't know if the latest lollipop versions ( russian SER for example) have fixed all the bugs of the french version.

I got the SM G850M can I instal any other firmware defferent from 850M?
Question for any of you who has installed 5.0.2 with changelist 5614954 ( Nordic, Greek, Russian etc) and use Nova as launcher :
Do you have big redraw when clearing all recent apps?
A user here in XDA reported this ( i don't know if he uses earlier version of 5.0.2 ) and i would like to have more feedback on this matter because i use Nova without having such a problem on kitkat.

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.

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)
@bthoven
I've flashed this rom over b002 by use of a cfg file from B010 zip file

Hey all ...
I juz received a software update on my Note 7 (SM-N930FD) ... it's 196Mb update and has the latest Android Security patch with many UI changes and tweaks like changed drop down notifications (like Android Nougat), smaller app icons in folders etc etc ...
Important thing is that after the update, the over all smoothness has been much much fluent and battery life is significantly improved ...

I can confirm the device is much smoother since upgrading, you can now change the screen resolution in the settings menu. Battery life seems much better then before. Ram management seems the same but I need to play with it a bit more.
Nice sounds like a good update
I hope t-mobile gets it soon!
Ram Management is improved but No Huge Improvement is what I can see ...
Aggressive background apps shut down is not there now but it still needs work to be done in order to meet the standard of multitasking that the device of this calibre and specs should have ...
But overall ... This new update seems to be what the phone would have been carrying out of box as most of us bought our phones way earlier than the official launch by Samsung in our corresponding regions ...
Finger Print ...
Finger Print is hell faster with this new update ...
Juz tap it when the screen is locked and unlocking is done straight from it ...
Very fast indeed ...
Huge Improvement ...
Can this be loaded to a N930F? Thanks!!!
can any one post the video... with new software update
I just got my device and updated it straight away and performed a factory reset. I also have the duos version but I think it only presented me with a 186Mb update.
Hi, need some guidence here please. So I just flashed the XSG firmware to my N930F and it's a multi CSC - take a look at the screenshots. The installed firmware is APGK but it seems there's the new BPH6 firmware available, but my phone is not finding it. Is this normal? Could the update be available for another CSC code but not mine?
Thanks for the help!!
I'm getting mixed signals here. In one thread, there's people saying games work very poorly after the update - but everyone saying it's working better with it - can you all report on how games are performing? Apparently you notice a difference after 10+ min of play on the octo core processor.
This BPH6 software update screw up alot of Note 7 N930FD for Singapore users, check the Note 7 Singapore thread, so becareful with this update.
can you still root the phone after Nougat is installed?

We posted the question because we would like to know if updating to the latest firmware will have an effect on the device's "rootability".
Not sure how it's joke...?

Because Nougat isn't out for Note 7 yet, and won't be for quite some time.

What he said, plus the steps needed to root each version of Android changes. So it is absolutely impossible to know until the time comes. It had always been best practice to avoid taking an update until it is known about the rootability of that firmware.
Now for real: Which is the most stable "6.0 and up" ROM for the Galaxy Alpha G850F?
I'm sick of it... finding the stock ROM is a pain in the ass and all custom Roms above Lollipop are mostly unusable as daily drivers.
Resurrection Remix and Lineage OS got problems with recognizing phone rotation... youtube gets literally unusable.
Epsil ROM and other Lollipop ROMs got harsh slowdowns after some days that can only be fixed by restarting.
Is there any ROM from Marshmallow upwards that is stable enough to get used as an daily driver?
From my experience, no. There is not even plenty of roms above Marshmallow for this device, only the cyanogenmod/lineage and their RR versions.
i see only stock rom is the best for Galaxy Alpha with all fully feature
Yeah, tried all of the ROMS. Epsil is the most stable atm

Ep rom's more smooth than stock rom but consuming more battery when ide
Stock huh?
The normal firmware of my phone is a ****ing bugfest.
Epsil and Resurrection Remix were nearly perfect, but both got that funny problem that turning the phone won't work after some time.
I don't really care about my phone not recognizing rotation, but I can't stand this pesky bug breaking all sound when somebody calls me as I listen to music. I'm currently trying all of CM/Lineage/RR based ROMs to see if there's any without that problem. If everything fails, I'll either stick to whichever TouchWiz based one with working stock bluetooth equalizer, or go back to full stock/rooted stock.
Hi, and what did you choose as daily driver rom?
Modpunks LOS14.1 is nice but only if camera support wasn't a meme due to changes to how nougat handles camera
I think it's better to try to port an A5 or A7 rom because A7 have same SoC with the alpha

Actually, only the A7 shares the same SoC, the A5 does not.
The A7 also sports the 5.0.2 Android so, there's no point in doing that...
Hello, i am in a DIRE need of 7.0(+) ROM (which has working GSM and GPS) for a friends device.
He absolutely need to play Pokemon GO which was recently updated and the default (5.0.2) ROM is no longer supported. Phone will be used ONLY for that.
Can you give me any hints please? Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Uhm, it seems like there is requirement only for Android 6:

Happy New Year!
I will suggest to try Kyasu Cyanogen 12.1 Rom.
The only problem that he is stop to developing at Lollipop 5.1 for SM-G850F.
Quite pity...
I never really wanted to dig up an old thread, but I was still using a Galaxy Alpha until a few weeks ago.
Just to be clear: there is absolutely NO custom rom (> lollipop) to use, right? You cannot make calls with any "final" "fully working" "best rom". So every real CustomROM is useless, or am I wrong?

I never noticed a problem with the last RR. The camera crashes were easy to solve
As someone who wants to get an old phone to fool around with, the G850W sounds boring as it's yet another 801 phone, but I think the Exynos G850F would be interesting. Is there a good 6.0+ ROM yet as of 2023?
