Rooted my device yesterday, and install Unicon but seem like it doesnt support huawei launcher.

So .. give Go launcher a shot, got a little of lag using it when come out from game, but its acceptable.

Would you recommend this as an all in one phone or as a 2nd phone for tablet replacement? Price is very close to IPad Mini so I'm thinking which option is better.

actually before i bought x1,i always have a phone and tablet at the same time but now only using x1 and my phone stay inside the drawer collecting dust

Well I do agree this phablet does all the wonder. For me, I am using G2 as main and this as gaming and browsing. Need the juice more for gaming. Main phone mainly for work and some chats.

So far this is worth every penny device. Like what Uncle Benny commented, the power button would be ideal if position higher but I guess they make it at this position due to it is 7 incher so that we can easily reach.

I would recommend this over Ipad mini. Never like IOS which is so many restrictions.

how does the chipset perform?
as good or better than snapdragon?

Yes
Ipad is a completely different OS. You need a different set of app. I had never like IOS but yet I spend money to buy it but eventually disposed usually within 2-3 months. Its restrictive OS is a dissapointment. But my friends do tell me this is the tablet for serious gamers of which I am not interested.
I sold off my 128gb ipad mini RD in less than 3 months n replaced it with LG Pad 8.3

I think SD has an edge over it for gaming . Antutu for 801 averages 30-35k vs 22k for this
Other usage I don't see any difference vs say XZU n my previous Note3, HTC1

see the review. It is somehow laggy with the device? So in real world usage how does it feel?

I owned a Samsung Galaxy note 10.1 and honestly i dont like the laggy experience i get. I hope i could get something similar to my Nexus 4 device which is silky smooth.

it depends on whether u use phone functions a lot cuz it is not so suitable as an everyday phone due to the size
like for me, i'm stuck in the bus for few hours every week so the X1 suits me

if purely comparison between X1 vs iPad Mini retina as tablet, I will prefer X1 due to the ability to make calls/sms for emergency situations

I have used the N4 before n honestly none of the other phones can match Nexus smoothness. If this is important stick to N4 or N5. Closest I would say is the M8 or S5 in smoothness
I too using now the Note10.1 n the X1 thrumps it in overall smoothness
I am not particular about smoothness as is an unimportant issue to me.
Overall this phone performs well enough for me...lag problem if it had is unnoticeable to me

I don't feel X1 is laggy. My other device is Nexus 5
Possibly is becuz X1 have got 2GB RAM so it can handle the custom Huawei skin without lag. Scrolling across pages is not silky smooth as Nexus 5 but it's no noticeable lag

how does the CPU compete with Snapdragon 800 processor?

I have commented on this in post 532

The hide bottom bar option is only available after firmware update. I got both set, original and china honor x1. There are many functions that is not available in local set yet as there is no firmware update available. For the china set, there is already two firmware update that I have perform so far. When I first got the phone, it does not have these function too, it is only available after firmware update.

As for the DTS, I do notice that the china set got this function but local set does not. Perhaps it will be available after firmware update.

In anticipation of my Mediapad X1, I got an Adonit Jot mini stylus. I tested it on the demo unit in Low Yat. It works nicely if you write slowly.

I would be using my Note3 for primary note taking and the Mediapad can be used for consumption and minor annotations.

bro have u enabled it in settings?
settings -> smart assistance -> navigation bar -> enable
there's also the option to enable suspend button which is convenient if u hide the navigation bar

for dts:
settings -> sound -> dts mode -> enable

oh i thought it should be B002 firmware, the same firmware before latest update
after latest update china version firmware is 7d-503lv100r01c233b006
what's the international version firmware version?
