[ROM][HUAWEI OFFICIAL][7D-501u][C208B008]KitKat 4.4.2 / EMUI 3.0 / 400 DPI - Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard

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:
http://www.emui.com/nsp/geturl.php?path=7D-501u_EMUI3.0_Android4.4_V100R002C208B008.zip&rid=901
(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.

If you have previous ROM around, simply replace the update.app file , retaining the 2 cfg files and then flash again to see if it works.
If you don't, download the attachment below for those 2 files.
If it still doesn't work, it means the source is bad.

sorry folks.
source is bad i guess.
download link removed.
will update thread if new source found.

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.

Sorry dear, it seems your comment is not relevant to this thread. This rom is with EMUI 3.0 and 400 DPI. How the font can be very small? You have posted the same comment in another thread where it is relevant.

0/ what about e-mail client in stock - can't set up gmail (imap enable)

The Latest Link Posted by [potatohead] on 6 Nov. worked Great with no single problem
Concerning Google Apps and services,,this rom does not include them but you can easily download Google Play,Gmail....etc
as I did and all of them worked Great and excellent
it is a Chinese rom but includes all languages....for me I found even the Arabic Language in both the interface and Google KB .which was not found in the B010 Emui 2.3
also the stock Email Client is great including templates for all known Email providers including GMAIL
I have downloaded various Apps from Google Play(after installing it) with No compatability Problems

---

yes some app issues and non-complaint as what i discussed in '7d-503L 4.4.2 emui 3.0 400 dpi' thread. however this rom is not for LTE handset
