Is this really true? When I was buying this phone, support was pretty much non-existent! But now it seems like the forum is telling me I can install roms specifically designed for the P6 onto my HAM. Is this true?
I own the HAM (Huawei Ascend Mate), but I've never installed a rom from another device. It seems wrong... any experiences?
It will not work 100 %
Yep, but there are still under development.

Huawei Ascend will not the day pretending to P1 lies.
Very bad level monitoring software, I find it stupid and totally unfair to drop the newest smartphones to benefit others.
Made by Huawei do not buy, if you are not having to update software.
I recall that the Ascend P1 is always a Androis while ICS 4.0.3 final version is 4.0.4
For those who do have to with the purchase smartphone, I invite you to make a bad buzz on their facebook and twitter, to make them understand that we are not pumps money.
Otherwise I think Ascend P1 sell my benefit a google nexus, at least the updates are followed.
It's a shocking news! I replied to your post, and I'll paste it here (sorry for my english, I'm Italian and as each of us know italians speak bad english )
ARE YOU JOKING? There was a fully functional chinese beta (but not usable for european users), there is MIUI JB based, there is CM10 and you say that the hardware can't support it? Galaxy Nexus has JB (and hardware is not better than P1, same cpu), S2 will receive JB, my Razr will receive JB, i had a Sony Xperia S (that will receive JB soon) etc.
I brought P1 a week ago because it could be receive JB... oh, what a shame! I'll sell this ****ty phone and I'll never more buy a Huawei product! SHAME, SHAME, SHAME!!!

This is the stupid reply by Huawei Device SA
We understand your frustrations and have put together some answers for you. With regards to our South African fans we have the following insights regarding the JellyBean update and the Ascend P1 device.
Firstly the Ascend P1 uses the Texas Instruments chips, we can’t get any support from Texas Instruments now.
The Samsung S2 uses their own chips, so they can update to Jellybean.
As we said before the hardware can’t support it. This means that the CPU we are running is different to the CPU in the S2 and therefore is not capable of supporting JellyBean. We understand that our customers want the latest and greatest OS, however the differences between JB and IS are actually not that big.
We do have new products launching soon and hope to ensure that we deliver the latest OS.
We value our customers and strive to ensure that we deliver the best support. Thank you The Huawei Team
P1 has the same CPU as Galaxy Nexus, maybe they thinks that we are all stupid...!
A signed my dear friend
Awesome. So joke like Xperia J will get an update due to its "powerful" hardware but P1, despite being like 15x better, won't get it because hardware can't support it. Nice trolling Huawei.
Huawei Ascend P1 Jellybean
Huawei Device SA Hi Everyone! Take a look at this page comment and link please - "We are in the process of releasing Jellybean "Developer Version" based on Emotion UI 1.5 for Ascend P1. "

Hi guys,
I am not really a fan of Chinese smartphones but certain ones like the Huawei Ascend P6, Oppo Find 5 and Meizu MX2 has some EXTREMELY cool firmwares in them... By that, I'm talking abt the ui and launchers they use.. But of all
the 3 here, I love the Meizu MX2 design... And I thought of Porting here... Anybody think it's possible? (I may not be able to guarantee that I'd do that due to work sadly...)
Huawei Ascend P6 vs Xiaomi Mi2S.
Both phones are incredible with same money.
P6 is much more beautiful and has bigger screen with SD card slot but Mi2S has better chipset and fantastic support (MIUI).
My question is: Do we expect some MIUI port for P6?
What's your opinion about these phones and their software?
Thank you.

Design and Specs = P6
Compact and Specs = Mi2S
I think P6 is getting Miui support too some day I would choose Huawei.

Hi im an average user and i always have readed and followed instructions on xda forums.
Im looking forward to buying one P6 maybe P7 from huawei im amazed about the price specifications of the phones.
I also looked for honor 3C but i dont see it supported by xda-developer forums so i am trying to get some advices in this forum from some users / developers about their experience with huawei phones.
And also why are those phones not listed / supported other than the p6.
Have a good day and any comment is apprecieated.
[edit] Also good stables roms for P6 for everyday use =)
Both phones are excellent for the price, the build quality is very good.
Both P6 and P7 are very similar but for some reason there is no xda development for p7 so it'd that's important go for the p6
They are both beautiful phones!

I'm a quite happy everyday P6 user.
Huawei has recently released android kitkat for P6. The latest model P7 and P6 run now the same android version (kitkat 4.4.2) with the same user interface (Emotion 2.3 UI).
With previous firmware (jelly bean 4.2.2 + Emotion 1.6 UI, firmware U125 and U132) this phone was as solid as a rock. I've recently upgraded my P6 to the latest firmware (kitkat 4.4.2 + Emotion 2.3 UI) and found some minor glitches mostly IMHO related to Emotion UI: icons displayed twice, fixed by changing user interface theme; icon moved after app update. My experience is that Emotion 2.3 UI seems not yet as stable as previous version (1.6) but I could it's minor problems and the phone is definitely usable for an average use and I bet next update will fix these problems. In any case I'm satisfied and won't roll back to previous firmware.
In brief, if you have a P6:
Stock official roms U125 and U132 are excellent. Stay there if you're looking for absolute stability. I could root them easily and install anything I needed.
Latest stock official rom 510 is also very good. Go there if you're looking for latest system improvements. I couldn't root it at the moment it but I didn't try hard.
By the way P7 has a definitely better hardware. As far as I know P7 has:
a better display (higher resolution and pixel density; and this is awesome since P6 display is also excellent, I really love it);
a better main camera (13 megapixels vs 8);
a mounstrous front camera (8 megapixels vs 5);
twice the internal storage (16GB vs 8);
a better battery (2500 aAh vs 2000);
a faster processor;
maybe more sensors.
It's only a little a little larger (wider, taller, thicker and ... 4 grams heavier).
It's up to you to decide if the hardware improvements of P7 over P6 are worth the bigger price.

I feel also that the p7 is the option to go but i dont see it on the forum section and i wouldnt want some phone that will not be supported by this awesome team of xda developers. Since i dont have time to develop and test deploys for custom modifications
Have you tried cyanogenmod in the p6?
Thanks in advance for reading

P7 is better than P6 for sure. And some sort of developer space will come when there are more P7 users (and some developer like Surdu would request for it ).
I use a p6 and not really in a hurry to buy P7. Im waiting to see how Huawei's upcoming flagships Honor 6 and Ascend D3 turns out to be, and also strongly suspect Huawei will release a Kirin 920 chip version of P7.

No, I've not tried any custom ROM on p6, not yet.
As far as p7 is concerned, since it's certainly going to become one of the most sold huawei models, there's no reason why it shouldn't be supported by this forum once some developer will put his/her hands on it.
Dear mates,
I bought in Japan an Huawei Stream S (Huawei 302HW) and it seems that its really look like the P6/P6S. Since the Emotion UI is not really handy in my hands, I'd like to know if there is a possibility that the tuto for rooting the P6 works with the one I own ?
(It's a really cool phone btw, so light and powerful compared to my last phone, Xperia Ion).

Hey mate!
After my immortal Galaxy Nexus - still living and running the 4.4.4 in a super smooth way - i bought in Japan the Huawei Stream S for about 100€ new.
Crazy cheap for the kirin 910 processor and 2 gb of ram!
It looks like its kind of another version of the P6S.
Does anyone know how to root it? Thanks!
