For those who didn't get the update - apparently there are some - it's on HuaweiBlog now.

Any news on CWM or CyanogenMod for our phone?

I like the hardware a lot, but I'm not so happy with the software installed. Since this is my first Huawei, I got no idea about how hard or not it is to custom-build a rom for it. Are there any estimates from earlier phones?

How can one help this process? I'd like to contribute as much as my capabilities allow.
[Huawei Ascend P7] gommers1978:
The problem is we need the vendor and device specific proprietary files, if we have those we can start building CWM and a custom ROM.

I've updated to SP01, and now I lost the possibility to set 4G in the network menu.

This happened also to somebody on a spanish forum, so I guess something's not exactly ok with this update.

Is there any solution to this?
[Huawei Ascend P7] gommers1978:
Please mention on which version phone the problem exists (L00, L10, etc....) I think it's L10 because i have updated to SP01 on my L00 and still have this setting.

For people that have recieved the OTA update and can't apply it (FAILED in recovery) i had this also and think this is because i deleted some files from the system etc.

I had to restore the phone to factory setting via recovery (SD-card method) and then update the phone to get the update installed.

Backed up data via chinese CWM first and then restored my data trough chinese CWM after this.

Now i have renamed files instead of deleting them, hope the update will work next time if i do not delete files....... :(

If someone speaks chinese maybe he/she can ask the developer of the chinese CWM if he/she can create an english one, he/she must have device specific files......

Kitkat SD fix

I have some apps that are no longer able to write to my external SD card owing to the newly introduced limitation in Kitkat. When I downloaded SDFix by NextApp Inc from the Play store it failed to fix the problem.

Using the method outlined elsewhere in this thread, (my thanks to the author) I deleted the "set_immutable.list" file which immediately solved the problem. SDFix works and my apps can write to the SD card. Naturally, I made a backup of all files and made a note regarding file locations and file permissions in case restoration is needed. Just to be on the safe side I replaced "set_immutable.list" with an empty file of the same name. This last step may have been unneccesary.

---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

Same for me. But startup manager can be found under settings
[Huawei Ascend P7] I am Legend:
Sorted it out.... I had to update with a different file, found on an official huawei site (Poland).

The old update gave also a message on every boot warning me that I was using a test firmware, and I also lost the possibility to use 4G.

With this update I'm not having any problem at all, plus we are sure this is official since it's released directly by Huawei.

http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=21564&version=37730&siteCode=pl

First go with the dload folder and update from menu, than after this first update replace the update.app file on the microsd with the one you cand find in VENDOR/HW_EU and then update again from menu.

There will be a data format.
[Huawei Ascend P7] jkmaxfli:
And what is this update for ?

It's some improvements B121SP01 such as broken notifications etc?

Or is it a classic B121SP01 update that was there before the 14 days ?
[Huawei Ascend P7] I am Legend:
All I know it's that after a reset my p7 was full of problems with the other b121sp01, while with this one I have no problem at all.

Maybe my problems were due to my phone being branded (Tim Italy), with the first b121sp01 I still had traces of the brand on the root files, while with this one my phone is now totally nobrand.
[Huawei Ascend P7] DJ BlackEagle:
It's on SP01 removed. On SP00 I saw it under the settings, but after the first firmware update, it's not there.
[Huawei Ascend P7] xdadevelkl:
Is the old firmware available somewhere as well? That is, can I somehow revert to the original firmware? I would like to see whether Towelroot works on the old firmware. The new one cannot be rooted by towelroot .com -- at least I did not succeed. It just reboots.
[Huawei Ascend P7] gommers1978:
Remember that there are differences in firmware! On the P7 L00 the startup manager is still present after the update. On P7 L10 apparently not.....
[Huawei Ascend P7] arthios:
I suppose different regions have different radios, 4G bands etc, hence the need for different firmware. On P7 L07 the startup manager is under settings. My phone is for the Chinese market maybe it's different.

P7-L00 - Huawei custom apps

Hi,

I bought the P7-L00 (Dual-SIM) version, intended for the Chinese market, but I use it in Europe, Hungary. It's not a problem, the firmware contains my native language ('Magyar' - Hungarian) also and I could install the main Google apps without making root and/or flashing CWM, etc. So, I am satisfied with my phone.

But I know that the single-SIM version for European countries offers other Huawei apps, than the Chinese version, full with Chinese letters... My question: would it be somehow possible to install the custom Huawei apps intended for the European market (i.e. from P7-L01 ROM) to my phone, replacing the Chinese apps?

Thanks in advance if the someone could provide me some useful tips, guidance!
[Huawei Ascend P7] DJ BlackEagle:
Hi.

I really like this phone. But three things, I don't like and feel bad of it.

1. The power supply getting very warm (Sony, Samsung, Apple don't get warm). Looks like a cheap materials in the power supply.

2. I have an sdcard in the phone. Then I connect to a notebook/pc via usb. The phone use the option "connect as usb stick". I don't like this option as default. Because if an app is moved to the sdcard, this app don't work. Then I don't use sdcard, he remember my last option.

3. I don't find an option to disable the function "clean up the ram on screen off". It's an Huawei special feature. But I want disable it. I was on a website and logged in at this site. I was writing a message. I got disturb. The screen was going off. And then I put the screen on, the browser was closed. And I must the message. I don't want set a browser on the "protected app list". I want that's the browser get closed then I clean up the recent app list.
[Huawei Ascend P7] arthios:
You may want to consider using an alternative charger. It may not be safe. I use a Samsung. It works well. There have been two reports in the last few days where I live of USB chargers failing whilst connected to the mains. In one case, the user was killed by electrocution. In the second, the user survived but there was significant damge to the electrical wiring of the house.
[Huawei Ascend P7] DJ BlackEagle:
Yeah, I have hear it. It was an 28 years old mother in Australia. But she used an cheap power supply, but an original from the manufacture. I use a the original power supply from Huawei, which was in the package.

I use right now, often normal usb on my notebook. It's can charge my phone if it's offline too.
[Huawei Ascend P7] Aung Ye Kyaw:
You can use the 'Protected Apps' in Setting and you can change to MTP mode everytime you connect a PC.
[Huawei Ascend P7] DJ BlackEagle:
I know about the protected apps. But the apps get killed even it's protected, I see it then I open the app and get directly new messages. I have read a lot of this issue. The problem is at whatsapp, wechat etc.

Yeah I can change the mtp mode. But I don't want change it every time. If an app is on sdcard, the app would be stopped by Android. So why always is the usb mount mode default then a sdcard is available. If sdcard removed, the phone remember the last state of mtp mode.
[Huawei Ascend P7] ayuming:
I also have the problem on whatsapp, wechat, etc, delay push notification. It is really annoying, hope there are someone could fix it.

I have a BIG problem: after root, install busibox and SuperUser, i edited build.prop file changing following row: ro.camera.sound.forced=0

Please, could you help me in order to restart phone?? Can I install a CWM o stock recovery?? PLEASE HELP ME!!
[Huawei Ascend P7] gommers1978:
Yes you can, but you need to download chinese CWM and install it trough fastboot (command fastboot write recovery recovery.img)

Hi,

I have the P7-L00 (for Chinese market), but it is multilingual and I could install Google apps too. So, I can use the phone well, but I have only one problem: the Stock e-mail app shows mixed Latin and Chinese letters in the Sender row of Inbox view. The rest of the message text is OK. The accented Latin characters are replaced by Chinese ones. See picture.

As you can see, only the Sender's font is wrong, the Subject's row shows well the Latin letters, including the accented ones.

How could I correct this? Maybe I should install some other font instead of the one showing wrong characters. But I don't know how. The phone is not rooted yet.

Bricked phone

I'm sorry to report my phone is completely dead. I managed to brick it very very easily. Since I don't have a nandroid backup there's not a thing I can do about it.

What did I do?

I tried substituting the stock bootanimation.zip with another. That was all. I thought I would be safe to do this as it's not a critical file. Without a nandroid backup I'm not brave enough to do anything more adventurous. At any rate the phone no longer works. I tried resetting using the stock recovery but to no avail. The boot 4G logo comes up and that's it.

A great pity really as it's a very nice handset, but let my experience serve as a warning. Even a minor customization is enough to brick this device. So be very very careful.

For the time being I'm back to my HTC whilst I consider my options.

P7 pics from China ministry approval site:

http://weibo.com/3030737153/AF1BFmJGn?ref=home

Now i see the curves from the front and back on these pics. But don't take these tenaa pics seriously in terms of looks, as they always bring out an ugly unclear pic.

Either way, it seems the P7 would be coming with Kirin 910, which in my opinion is a negative point. When the p6 was released, it could match with the nexus 4 atleast interms of antutu benchmarks (even though weak interms of gpu). But P7 instead is going to be far off from the Nexus 5 (let alone nexus 6). And my prediction is that this is going to cause lower sales which in turn would make Huawei to release a P7 with a K3v3 chip or they might release snapdragon chip for international (like they did for Mate 2) while kirin910 only for China, or something like that.

Interesting benchmarks of P7 out. They did work on the benchmarks, as it is up by 2500 points on antutu compared to the P6S : http://weibo.com/3030737153/AF3SHioP7?ref=home

So proving wrong my previous post, the benchmark of P7 is as good as the Nexus 5. Nonetheless nothing that tempts or forces me to buy it yet. Still excited about how the official stuff comes out especially the looks as they been talking about p7 using some "exquisite" material, and also the new features they put into it.

D3 being the flagship byproduct of Huawei this year im very curious to see that released before i make any plans to buying a p7, but im cautious too because D3 is said to be of a high price range.
