In great need of assistance - Honor 5X Questions & Answers

Hello,
I own a Huawei Honor 5x (KIW-AL10) and it seems to be the chinese version.
The problem is i cannot sync contacts or get google apps by default. It's really annoying. Plus some chinese words here and there, even if the language is set to english.
My question is : how safe would be flashing a stock ROM, but for a different version of the phone (USA, Europe).
Has anyone did this before ? And if so, what ROM and where to download it from ? I would like to receive Marshallow update too.
Thank you

Huawei honor 7 EMUI 3.1 Chinese Version

I recently bought Honor 7 from Hong Kong online.
The EMUI version installed is Chinese.
I have changed all settings to English. Keyboard, language etc. So, google play and others are in English.
But, the Huawei installed apps, browser and all other, like the downloadable themes, display Chinese and there is no option to change that to English.
Can anyone help me install or update the EMUI installed to display in English instead of Chinese?
Is it possible?

Hello to everyone;
I have just a question: is it possible to have the stock chinese version of firmware and simply apply the english language?

What do you think? it's possible to do?
thanks to all!

All reports so far have said it causes crashes, so no. When the international release of the watch ships, there'll be a firmware that can be applied that will make it English, like with the 1st gen
Seems legit
How many times usually pass to have the international firmware?

Until someone gets the international model and dumps the firmware, at which point either a ROM will be made or if they dumped the firmware as images, it can be flashed directly

Unreleased ROM for my region

So I have ordered my Pocophone F1 a few days ago and found that you can install google camera on it, but the most updated one needs a certain ROM version or higher to be able to use it, so I went searching on xiaomi forums and found that, that specific rom version Global Stable ROM V10.1.3.0.PEJMIFI i'snt released in my country Kindly Note- This update V10.1.3.0.PEJMIFI not released to SOUTH KOREA & PORTUGUESE so this is where my questions surge...
Is there any way that this update shows up OTA, like per example, if I change my region, will it make the update show on the ota update app?
If not, can I flash it and will I still get OTA updates ?
Why is the ROM not released in my region ?
And can me getting this ROM on my phone affect anything ? Like data connection, language or apps ?
Thank you!

Oppo Find X with CPH1871TW_11_A.12 Global Version or not?

Hi Guys,
I owned my Oppo Find X some months ago. Through a webshop in switzerland.
It was titled as Oppo Find X 128GB Global. I payed like 200$ more for that global version.
As I unpacked it, I saw that there was a transparent case inside, just like in the Chinese Versions. According to my information, i thought the global version has no case supplied.
And also the american standard of the charger was inside and a little adapter for europe.
I started the phone and saw the casual Google setup, same like every other Android. Everything was working, Google Assistant, Google Play so I didn't thought about global or not. There were just 2 chinese Apps installed (some Social Network), I deleted them.
Some days later I noticed, that I'm not receiving Notifications from all apps. So I wanted to add some apps more for background activity (as I had read the global version should support 9 apps at once) but after 5 it told me with a message that there could only be set 5 apps.
I started reading more threads about it and saw that there is an CPH1871EX version (europe?) which should be the global version and mine looks like to be the taiwan version. I was also stuck on ColorOS v5.1 and there was no update shown on v5.2 until yesterday where I used a VPN to connect to taiwan, then I received the v5.2.
So my question, have I been fooled? Did I got an chinese Version with installed google apps?
Do I have now to connect to taiwan, everytime I want to check for an OS update?
Is there a way to switch to EX, does it even matter?
What does the A.12 on the end mean, and why didn't I got directly the A29(which is the newest I think)
Oh and a total different question, do we know if every Find X will get ColorOS 6, or just chinese?
Thanks in advance for your support

Hi. I have CPH1875, when we will have Pie?
I do think you got the global version but it was specific to Taiwan for some reason. I have the Australian version and it came with a case so I don't think that's an issue. I also have the 5 startup app limit. CPH1875EX.

I need help to get back stock firmware on Honor 8

Hello guys,
Can anyone help me find the right official stock firmware for Honor 8 Dual Sim 4GB+32GB (FRD-L09), and tell me how to install it? This device is made for European Region, and it was bought in Serbia.
First owner flashed phone to Android 8.0 (EMUI 8.0). And build number is: FRD-L09 8.0.0.521(C432).
On Android 8.0, battery is draining fast, ram usage is about 2GB with no usage of apps... Im pretty sure that rom installed on this phone is fake. There must be viruses or something like that.
And yeah, sorry for my bad English, im from Serbia
