What's weird on this new Beta build is that even though the DPI is now 320 the same apps as the other 400DPI KitKat roms aren't compatible. (Google+, Gas Buddy, etc...)

With the KitKat B102 build (Even though it was 400 DPI) All the apps worked...

Hopefully that get fixed when it comes out of Beta, Huawei is getting really close now!
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] potatohead:
You are welcome :) Just helping to summarize resources avail from the internet

As for the hideable nav bar, I believe it is back, according to this pic:

found in this thread - http://cn.club.vmall.com/thread-1475819-1-4.html (for those who read chinese, title says EMUI 2.3 & 320DPI, only such rom atm is the above mentioned beta)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] realeze:
Which one is better? This one or 2.3 B009?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] potatohead:
i believe so, however on my B010 ROM (4.4.2 / EMUI 2.3 / 400DPI), there is no /charm_china_u folder, in its place is /kk_x1_china_l, there is however /xml and unstall_apk.xml in /kk_x1_china_l

i m still on B010 as there is no working 3rd party recovery on 503L for me to backup my properly set up B010.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] bark1234:
I aand how to recover.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omniphil:
So far this rom (Leaked Beta) is the best for me. I have found that not all the app incompatibilities are there, Google+ and Gas Buddy won't install, but a few other ones do. Performance is the best on this rom as there seems to be 300mb or so of more free memory.

Its 320DPI !!!

Wifi seems a little bit worse than on my last B008, but it is only slightly worse.

3G seems to work pretty good so far, on par with B008.

So while it still has some issues, it seems to have the least issues of all the ones available.

Having no recovery is a serious pain for sure. But what I do is use Titanium Backup to backup everything and I can restore things and get the phone set back up the way I like it in 2 hours or so. I'm getting faster at it, but it's certainly a painful process..

If you take this route be sure to set Titanium Backup to use the SD card as some of these Roms will wipe your internal storage. If your using a KitKat rom the SD card is not writable so you have to do a few special tricks (Busybox, Terminal Emulator, delete some files, apply SD card Fix) to get that working.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] lvpl:
There is no way to install Google+ ? what a pity...
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omniphil:
It's not compatible for some reason. I used it primarily for photo backup so it wasn't a huge deal for me, but you can always do Google+ in the browser, that certainly works.

Gas Buddy was another one I used a decent amount, that doesn't work either... So there are still some app compatibility issues.

Oddly "Weather & Clock Widget Android" was my preferred weather widget, now does work, but didn't with the older 400DPI builds.

The only exception was Build B008 which was 400DPI, but every app seemed to work fine.

Huawei is making some good progress however and it's nice to see builds still being actively worked on.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] potatohead:
Can TB backup settings and SMSes as well, other than apps? I vaguely remember it cant a while back. Thkq :)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omniphil:
It does backup up the data for each app, so the settings are retained. Pretty sure it doesn't do SMSes however.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] joytest:
TB does backup SMS. It is found under Messages or Messaging. Restore App Data only to restore.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] omniphil:
Good to know. Without Titanium Backup I'd be in trouble. I love that App!

Hi,

Has anyone managed to install Xposed Framework on this [HUAWEI OFFICIAL BETA][7D-503L]KitKat 4.4.2 / EMUI 2.3 / 320 DPI rom ?

Thank you for answering.

How you guys root the kitkat on x1? I tried rootgenius and vroot without success.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] mru55:
Vroot is not vroot. Which version did you use? Downloaded from where?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] acuratlsfan:
Because you REALLY REALLY want to know.... Tried to install 2.6.1 on this beta rom...would not install. It installs if I "disable resource hooks", but non of the modules work. Let me know if you want me to try a different version.

I usually only use Xposed for things like remove high headphone level warning, or change volume steps from 15 to 45 steps.

---------- Post added at 10:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------

I just downlod today rooted it with Vroot,...now known as iRoot from mgyun. You have to run it twice for it to root. First time will fail; when you run it again, it will reboot the X1, then the root will stick. I then install SuperSu from playstore, install binary, reboot, then go into supersu setttings and "install SuperSU into /system". I proceed to uninstall the Chinese root manager program. IF you uninstall the chinese root manager program first, then install SuperSU, you will probably lose root permission.
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] bthoven:
Yes, I used iRoot and it said successful after reboot. Then download SuperSu and run it, it said I have to download/update binary which I did. It took a while and said fail to update binary. Tried it several times, Rootchecker app said I don't have root access. (update 12/11: it works now...thanks)
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] lvpl:
Hi acuratlsfan,

Thank you for helping.

1/ Before installing Xposed Framework, type this following codes with "Terminal Emulator" :

su [ENTER]

mount -o rw,remount /system [ENTER]

chattr -R -i /system [ENTER]

2/ Now, you can install Xposed Framework version 2.5.1 (see joined zip)

3/ Reboot

4/ Does Xposed Framework work great ?

5/ Could you check if your Settings app works and displays correctly ?

Thank you very much for your help !!!;)

Hi all,

I was about to try flashing this, when I realised that the instructions are to FAKE a 503L to a 501L for the International ROMs.

I have a 501L.

Has anyone successfully flashed this 320dpi 503L ROM onto their 501L ?

Next question, does ANY version of Xposed work?
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] hendibudi:
I try this rom also it works on device 501L instead 503L and run smoother than B103 rom﻿
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] AbadyRahman:
So has there any updated stable version of this specific rom been released?

Any is anyone who's on this rom facing any problem with instagram's photo map feature? I'm getting a weird message saying "photo map isn't supported on your device" which is absurd.

That beside not being able to install a number of very popular very ordinary apps such as the barcode readers redlaser and shopsavvy... Anybody know of a way to work around these issues?

You have to root your x1 and following this thread should solve your problem:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cornelius:
Soorry, but i want to know how i can sure if my new universal (Sold as exec) is really new one, not second or reffurbish. Can i do something to figure it, or i have to be trust to the seller. Thank in advanced
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
You can check the Call Duration Settings. If it is brand new, all the numbers should be ZERO.

You can check it by going to Start>Settings>System>Device Information>Call Duration. The INCOMING and OUTGOING call timers should ALL be ZERO.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cornelius:
Thanks cktlcmd for the quick reply, I hope the seller didn't read pof's post:

1) put device in bootloader mode

2) disable activesync usb connections

3) connect to bootloader using mtty.exe

4) when you see "USB>" prompt type this (DO NOT COPY-PASTE):

Code:

USB> rtask b

0 <--- wait until you see a "0" here

ate1 <--- enable local echo

atv1 <--- verbose output for return values

AT@talk?1 <--- get outgoing call time

AT@talk?0 <--- get incoming call time

AT@TALK=<value1>,<value2> <--- set incoming and outgoing call

value1 and value2 should be HEX values. Setting very high value (>9999) resets the counter to 0, I cant tell you which one now cos I am at work and don't have my hermes here to test, but try it, it is easy to find

we have only check from call durations or we can di bit more?

Thanks in advanced
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
YES, that is true, there is a way to set it back to zero. But, not too many people know about that.

I guess you should ask for a copy of the ORIGINAL receipt. That was what I did when I bought mine. Then call the company where he bought it from and check if it is brand NEW out of the box. Take note of the DATE. Check and ask about discrepancies. Check the product for signs of use, such as cosmetic defects.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cornelius:
Thanks, but that the other problem, you know the Exec didn't sold in my country, the only way i can buy is buy from importir. (Not from o2 dealers). And i'm affraid i can't know where they bougth it from, I wonder if there is a way to know from the product it self. May be here the condition I have:

1. This store sell their product cheaper about $ 200, they said it's brand new, but it don't have seal and the exec already turn on. (They said they have to check when the product came) but they have service waranty for 1 year. (This store located not in my city so just a phone negotiations)

2. Other store said if in store 1 price it must have a refurbish product. They sell it more expensive, but they make sure it brand new, but they just have waranty for 3 days.

Now I get confused, If you were me, which one you chose?

Thanks for your help.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doveman:
I just got this Huawei HUAWEI Y550-L01 for a great price and it's a massive improvement on my G300 (which actually cost me about double what I paid for the Y550 a couple of years ago!)

There doesn't seem to be any custom ROMs available for it yet but I was wondering if it's possible to just root it, as there's quite a few apps I like to use that require root?

I've e-mailed Huawei and they've sent me my bootloader unlock code but unless I can root it, there's probably not much point doing that at the moment.

Root Genius didnt work

Framaroot didnt work

Eroot didnt work

SRS One Click didnt work

Vroot didnt work

Kingoroot didnt work

For now i dont think we have root on Y550

Apart from anti virus, theres not much i need root for, but the two key things changing the dpi (because the resolution isnt good enough), and full link 2 sd (because of the lack of storage space) are kinda important :D

Its a pretty new phone though, pretty sure root will be around soon enough.

BTW.. can you change title to Y550 rather than 500.. help people using the search function.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doveman:
Woops, yep done.

Oh well, thanks for trying.

Yeah, lack of space and inability to use link2sd was the main reason I wanted root, although there's quite a few apps I use that need it too. Apart from that though, the missing encryption feature kills it for me. I e-mailed Huawei asking why it was missing but they haven't replied!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimspace:
I have filled out the email response form on a couple of the root methods asking for Y550 to be added if possible. It was only launched in October, and November for most of UK so its pretty new, but generally there is root out there for most Huawei phones.

Most apps can be moved to SD the native way using app manager or similar but its the space hogging ones like Facebook that cant be.

For those passing by this thread, make sure you set SD as default in settings>Storage and then select defaut storage location as SD

and for ref:

CPU: Qualcomm MSM8974 (think this is a misidentifiation. meant to be MSM8916) Snapdragon 800 x 4 on Elpida (Krait 400 Arm 7)

GPU: Adreno 330

Overall, on the phone its not a bad bit of kit, was bought to replace a dying Galaxy S2 and the specs are pretty much the same as the S2, more CPU but less Storage.

Negatives:

Lack of storage space, about 1.3gb at stock

Screen Resolution: Is fairly low but actually looks pretty good. Just needs the DPI dropping down a bit.

The Huwai stock launcher is pants (but easily replaced)

The Good:

Battery life at the moment seems pretty good. Using it all day, whatsapp, twitter, music player (but no games), ive not come close to having to worry about a charge

Included apps: You can actually remove the bulk of the bloatware and most of the included apps are reasonable. The backup program is functional (but let down by lack of scheduled backups), the messaging and contacts replacements are passable (but lacking merge contacts), the power management is actualy fair good with good contral of which apps are shut down to save battery and which stay open, good control of which apps are allowed to push notifications etc so that aspect of it is good.

Camera: average, but fast and functional. Good enough for snaps, but lacks obviously from only being 5mp

Mobile internet is snappy as hell

The Meh..

Not totally convinced about the settings, drop downs etc with the MIUI styling on them,
