[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] potatohead:
B008 Full Flash (Public Release)

Apparently, Huawei has deemed the latest B008 version to be stable enough for public consumption and thus has released it as the final (for now) EMUI 3.0 / 400 dpi ROM for Mediapad X1 501u.

For full ROM download, kindly visit:

(kindly note this is a FULL ROM, not an incremental update. Flash as per how you would normally flash a full rom; remember to backup your data prior as flashing a full rom most probably will wipe your data)

Another leaked official beta ROM from Huawei for 7D-501u.

The main feature in this ROM is EMUI 3.0, for those who are still in the dark, EMUI is the skin which Huawei applies over stock Android, think Sense for HTC, Touchwiz for Samsung. EMUI version for current ROMs is 2.3 for KK and 2.0 for JB.

This beta ROM is 4.4.2 based and uses a framework of 400DPI.
