Greetings fellow Mediapad X1 users,
I'm a fairly new user here from Saudi Arabia. I knew about the device when I was "summering" in Malaysia. Then bought it here in Saudi Arabia around late September.

I was nothing less than amazed by the efficiency of this device. The flexibility and the technology.. it seemed as though the phablet understood me right away.

I didn't and still don't understand the point in omitting the FM radio since I was eagerly hoping for it to be present.
But overall.. I'm in love with it.

The system was on B003 I'm guessing the one directed to the middle east market. Sadly I can't find the firmware file nowhere online not even on the Huawei portal site itself (talk about efficient support).
I tried upgrading to kitkat.. but the fact that I'm suddenly forced to suffer from a 400 dpi was a big issue for me, even though I tried tolerating it. It just didn't seem as "classy".. made the phablet look like a cheap oversized phone.
That plus I actually noticed the whole experience became very laggy and buggy. Not at all smoother than on B003 JellyBean. The B003 even scored higher on average on antutu (27000+) than any other Rom did (21000+).
I know for certain that the phablet started behaving STRICTLY as a phone. This was clearly evident through Swype Keyboard. Since it has two different layouts for tablets and phones and I'm familiar with both. On all B007, B008 and even on B102 I've faced the same issues. That plus the WiFi signal drop issue as well.

I was left deeply disappointed. Even more right now since I can't see no updates to mention.
I've gone back to the Western European B003 since its the closest to the middle eastern one and I can't find that one, unfortunately.
Sadly enough.. I have to live with the bugs in this firmware.. most annoyingly the apps closing completely after turning off the screen for a long time even though the apps should be "protected". This means I can be sent a message on kik or WhatsApp but I'd never know unless I manually open the app every one and then.

I'm truly hoping a "redesigned" and improved kitkat update rolls out, which I highly doubt. Or to find a way not to let the phone act strictly as a phone... or evenr that a lollipop update rolls out soon and improves over all previous roms

-sorry for this repeated extra post. I don't know why it happened-

Okay forry for this noobish question, it's just that I have never really worked with xposed in any on my several previous devices.. and I've seen nothing but kindness from all of you here..
Swype is my keyboard of choice. I don't feel comfortable typing on anything else. So if I get on a 400dpi kitkat rom, and then through xposed I set Swype to run in 320dpi, will that result in the keyboard providing the tablet layout (which already runs by default on JB)?
Thanks guys and keep up the great atmosphere all of you.
Best regards

Thank you joytest.
That was exactly my plan in case the xposed idea didn't work.
It's just that because it's beta and because I have to tweak it somehow to get gapps, I was hoping to find a more direct and stable workaround.
Thanks again for your suggestion (:
