I have updated my china set to the new firmware, it is running at 4.4.2 and emui 2.3. The update will wipe the phone memory, so need to do back up. After update, the icon seem nicer. Good news, save app to memory card is still there by default. Much better memory management, which now is got about 900-1000mb free memory. Much more theme available. Now can see the telco name at the top. Font is bigger.

eh china set got OTA already?

No OTA yet, need to download the firmware from huawei cn site and update using memory card. I don't think OTA can do yet, the file is very big, about 900MB and it will wipe your phone memory. But the good thing is that this phone have backup function that allow you to back everything including apps.

So far everything work, only two apps that I have does not work, which is GSC and Digi apps. Both mentioned cannot use for this version . Somehow TGV apps work fine.

And there is update on camera too, now allow to add GPS tag on photo. And more filter available.

link plis?

straight away to Kitkat? glad to hear that

but will wipe the phone memory? oh my...

For LTE version (7D-503L) http://www.emui.com/plugin.php?id=hwdownlo...d=detail&mid=64
For 3G version (7D-501u) http://www.emui.com/plugin.php?id=hwdownlo...d=detail&mid=48

Sadly Huawei hasn't released any sources so nobody can really mod roms yet.

Huawei Emotion UI 3.0

never liked the Emotion UI, using third party launcher instead

any nice launcher with downloadable theme to recommend? I dun like Go launcher

always using Nova Launcher Prime

+1

Imo the most stable and simple launcher.. Never regret that I purchased the price version

Go launcher might contain bloatware.. Always try to sell something or advertise something.. I even suspected that go sms and keyboard might have malware something

is there improvement in terms of smoothness of the interfaces?

same feeling. I also never regret. pretty smooth. so far I only can accept all the launcher with Drawer. like MIUI, EMUI, LEnovo UI.... tak suka sangat.

I never used any single GO product. laggy and heavy. look ugly.

I don't feel much of improvement but I haven't been playing with it much. It seem good, no hang, no lag, the screen is much responsive now. It seem faster too.
