Honestly..I hope they are working on an "Android L" rom! Have it on my Nexus 7, an improvement on every level...UX design, performance, battery life. I "think" part of the problem with the current KitKat rom is Huawei "might have" ported/shared it from the Huawei P6S. Look at the build.prop and there are 2 lines of "ro.product.model", one with Mediapad X1 7.0 and another with Huawei P6S-U06. Huawui is starting to beta test EMUI 3.0 and rumor of Huawei Mate 3 (6in Kirin 92) going to be released to compete against Samsung Note 4 in Sept...so hopefully we'll get something by then.

I agree that we do need better radio/baseband/wifi/bluetooth performance...but one thing to keep in mind is, these devices are primarily designed/optimized to work in China with Chinese mobile carriers (even Apple and Samsung have specific SKU/Models for China)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omniphil:
Yeah, I need to remember that this phone is not sold here in the US, so they probably have no way of even testing it.

Cellular I can see being weird as different countries use different bands, but Wifi is pretty universal isn't it? I have brought my US phones over to China and never had any issues with Wifi over there. So it's sort of puzzling why Wifi is sort of crappy on this phone. It's like after a while it gets a memory leak or something and starts getting slow and pauses alot. Turning off Wifi and turning it back on seems to fix that, But even after a full reset the Wifi never seems as good as any of my other phones, it still pauses once in a while and is noticeably slower.

Can't wait no more for other root method and I'm using Vroot to root 4.4.2 ROM. Replace with Chainfire Supersu. But I got the problem for can't change system font. Already try with iFont(system mode) and got error code 12. Some of our native font changer apps not working too. In 4.4.2 EMUI 2.3 ROM are already pack with our navite font. But font not appear in some apps. no problem with IM apps and SNS apps. Only happen in some games. Anyone know how to modify for change custom font?

Help me solve that problem please.

I want to replace system font.

Solved. With the above command. Thx Q
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omniphil:
I'm sure how to change the font, but I was curious how you got Chainfire SuperSU working? I'm on 4.2.2 with Kinguser SU and wanted to use Chainfire instead but couldn't get it working...
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] itsraining2008:
Here how I replaced Chainfire Supersu. After rooted with Vroot, I'm open chainfire supersu. when supersu try to install binary(normal mode), supersu granted superuser permission by Vroot . After finished install binary, supersu ask me to remove other superuser app. I'm cancel it and exit supersu app. Open supersu back and didn't ask me to install binary again. After that I'm remove other superuser app from chainfire supersu and install supersu to system. That's all how I replaced chainfire supersu.

Hope you understand my english lol.

P.s while your supersu app try to install binary and didn't get superuser permission promt, reboot and try it again or re-root it.

How to replace Font in KitKat 4.4.2 EMUI 2.3 ROM MediaPad X1

Tested on 4.4.2 EMUI 2.3 ROM (MediaPad X1)

You device must be rooted for working with this method.

I can not make any guarantees. Try at your own risk.

Apps you need to install on your phone is iFont, Terminal Emulator, Busybox Installer and Root Explorer (or Other similiar files Manager)

1. Install terminal emulator and busybox installer first.

(don't forget to open busybox app and install in-app.)

2. after that open terminal emulator and type like below

su
mount -o rw,remount /system
chattr -R -i /system

3. after that open root explorer or similiar files manager and go to "system"

rename or delete the file "set_immutable.list" as you wish. I prefer rename it.

/ system / set_immutable.list [set_immutable.list.xxx]

4. now open iFont and go to setting>change font mode>system mode

If iFont successfully change font phone will reboot and if fail iFont will occour error code 12.

(for chinese, taiwainese, japanese and korean; if some of your font not appear correctly, Just download some font in iFont (prefer font with 5 different type CN,TW,JP,KR,EN). After that choose the one you want to change and iFont will prompt for which language you want to change. Just uncheck English and Set Ok. Hope that work for you guys)

Does anyone know how to use Google Now Launcher with Emotion UI 2.3 on 503L? It won't let me switch from Huawei Home launcher. Emotion UI 2.0 on B007 did not have such issue and Google Now Launcher worked fine. Also Google+ cannot be used, even when side loading ...
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omniphil:
To get all the Google apps unlocked you have to delete or rename /cust/channel/charm_china_u/xml/UNSTALL_APK.XML

Then reboot and they will automatically download and install.

I need to be rooted? What is easiest way to root KitKat b007?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omniphil:
Yes, all the files are locked down and you cant modify them without rooting.

The latest version of Vroot is the only thing that seems to work for Kitkat...
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] itsraining2008:
Thank for your suggestion bro. Now face unlock run as system app. Google play n other gapps run as system now.

Google Now Launcher still not working. Already rename unstall.apk.xml. may be 400dpi problem? Google+ not working coz of new dpi in 4.4.2 emui 2.3 rom.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] Kennyadex:
Is anyone running KitKat with dpi 320 instead of 400. I will like to be sure.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omniphil:
I was able to successfully change the DPI but it ended up breaking other things. I had to go back to 4.2.2 unfortunately.

If xposed framework can be installed, that would solve a lot of the issues...
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omniphil:
My main issue was the Wifi and Cellular performance was very bad, made it unusable. 4.4 was fast and smooth tho, but with very bad signal it wasn't worth it.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] realeze:
Did you find radio reception worse than 4.2 B007 firmware? My experience has been that it is about the same... I am in North American LTE and WiFi.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omniphil:
I did, I am on 4.2 B007 now and the wifi seems decent, but not great, pretty much the same as 4.2 B006.

On 4.4 the wifi was much worse for me.

I'm in the US too and LTE doesn't work (Not that I expected it too), but 3G works well enough.

It just seems like the Wifi and 3G get slower over time to a crawl, If I put it in airplane mode and take it off airplane mode the radios seems to reset themselves and work ok again for several days.

Root X1 B007 501U

tried to root B007 with vroot 1.7.3 with no lock. also tried Root Genius 1.9.7 (failed)

still tryng to find out how to root Huawei Mediapad X1 B007 KitKat 4.4.2 EMUI 2.3 Firmware 501U

has anyone succeeded?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omniphil:
You need the latest version of vroot. I think it's 1.7.8
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] realeze:
I find cellular connections are OK but WiFi does seem to degrade. It isn't noticeable to me unless I'm using the phablet for longer periods. I have it set to turn off WiFi when asleep so that seems to mask things somewhat.

But to be honest I felt that WiFi performance wasn't all that solid on 4.2. I may revisit on your comments though. Thanks.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] sanzo77:
I've read the entire post, but something for me remains obscure... visiting the link in the first post I find a chinese site where I can download 3 files:

版本: B007【EMUI2.0终极版】【2014年7月31日更新】

版本: B007【EMUI2.3】【2014年7月10日更新】

版本: B006【EMUI2.0】【2014年6月18日更新】

The first one seems to be the suggested file and if I try to translate with google 终极版 I can read Ultimate Edition.

What I want to know is:

Is right that the B007 is based on KitKat 4.4.2 and that the B006 is based on 4.2.2?

Is right that the EMUI2.3 is the new GUI with big characters that can gives some problems?

Then, if I install the B007 with EMUI2.0 will I have a X1 updated to KitKat 4.4.2 with the old UI.

Thanks
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omniphil:
B006 and B007 with EMUI2.0 are 4.2.2 (B007 fixes a handful of issues, theres another thread detailing those changes here http://xdaforums.com/huawei-mediapad/general/mediapad-x1-7d-501u-b019-ota-update-t2829620) Its called B019 on the 7D-501U version of the Mediapad X1

B007 with EMUI2.3 is 4.4.2 (Kitkat with the 400DPI and other issues)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] sanzo77:
Ok, thank you, then I was wrong. Can I ask if the B007 update with EMUI2.0 is reachable also via OTA?

Thanks
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omniphil:
It is available via OTA, my phone actually notified me automatically. It wouldn't install however because my phone was already rooted and modified.

There's a system update app that will go out and check for updates.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] sanzo77:
Ok, thank you tomorrow I'll have this tablet in my hands so I want to update it before installing anything.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mru55:
My OTA update came the first day. My wife's (bought together) only came today.

Don't worry if there is no update notification, the update is transparent (no effect to installed apps), even root is untouched.

anyone get hands on ota update B010 ?

I got the notification just about now...its about 100MB and its says:

Update :

installing update failed on my device so I clean installed the B007 and again installed the B010 this did the trick and updated .

on the first glance the only change is the ability to choose 3G only.

Rooted with vRoot and it went flawless...
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mcuadros:
For me, the B010 update is working perfectly but still i am problems with the connection.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] itsraining2008:

It's the one shown in "numero di serie" starting with 7D-50............ (bad translation)

This ROM does not apply to your device. You have 501L (euro model), the rom is for 503L (Chinese model)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] sanzo77:
Ok, then I have a 7D-501L that isn't neither a 501U nor a 503L :( this can means that I can't update?

802.11a/b/g/n, 2.4&5 GHz dual band

Huawei has on there spec page "Connectivity: Wi-Fi: IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, 2.4&5 GHz (dual band for LTE version)"

Anyone getting 5GHz band to work on their 503L? Main reason why I purchased 503L over 501U is because of dual band, other than that they are identical for us in the US. Download a few Wifi monitoring apps, but none of them indicate that the 503L is capable of 5Ghz.

Also have issue with the compass...direction is always off about 60 degress. Calibrate it with gps toolbox, seems to fix the issue for a bit. But then it will go back to being incorrect. Any experience ?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mru55:
With the - 503L B007 I can even connect to 5ghz. With the B006 I could see my 5GHz network but not connect. I use the wifi analyzer app.

Never noticed the compass being off, but I will keep an eye out for it.

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omniphil:
I am also noticing that apps are still terminating in the background after a period of time. I use "Line" for example to chat with folks over seas and it will get terminated if not used for about 12 hours, then I don't get chat notifications at all until I run the app again. Not a huge deal but annoying.

I think my main problem with this is that the "Phone Manager" app from Huawei has a section in it where you can tell it what apps to "Protect" and not terminate, but that doesn't work either. If I freeze the whole Huawei Phone Manager app with Titanium Backup the apps still terminate in the background after a while, so there is something Huawei has done to the core memory management to try to be like a task killer which is not a good thing. Task Killers type apps are not needed anymore. (And they cause problems like above)

This wasn't an issue with 4.2.2...

Google's 4.4.2 memory management is fine the way it is, there is no need to modify it.

Updated my X1 (7D-501L) so that just put the dload folder with the update.app to SD card and then went to settings -> update -> local update. Everything works OK, actually forgot the dload folder to my SD card for a week before removed it :)

Pros and cons of the Kitkat in X1:

+ The device is faster

+ Lock screen opens after typing the last pin nr (have to use pin due to my work email security)

+ DPI is big but after changing to Apex launcher, it's OK

+ Battery seems to last even longer than before (get about 8 hours screen on time)

+ Memory usage better, takes less than a GB now

- Would prefer Nova launcher but doesn't work well with Kitkat so had to change to Apex. My Nova was crashing every hour after the update, removing and re-installing didn't help

- The navigation bar is again always there, BUT managed to make it hideable with Activity launcher

- Root is lost, but doesn't matter so much, because of the previous point
