1. 400DPI display
It appears that many owners are not fully satisfied with the 400dpi although there is a way to change to 320dpi by Deleting or renaming "set_immutable.list" and by editing the "build.prop."
Yon can modifiy build.prop indeed if you are root:
1)Root
2)Install busybox
3) install terminal and enter commands
> su
> mount -o rw,remount /system
> chattr -R -i /system
4) Delete or rename / system / set_immutable.list [set_immutable.list.old]
5) add following lines to build.prop " qemu.sf.lcd_density=320 " and " ro.sf.lcd_density=320"
6) reboot
Modifying build prop will unenable later update to install on your X1. So, I advice the ADB method, which does not neeed root:

(I could only download vroot 1.7.9. My pc blocked me from downloading vroot 1.7.8 because it labeled the file as a threat. Also, I don't read chinese and the vroot program is in chinese I believe.)
After owning the X1, I realized that Huawei is not very good at listening to customers and very slow in providing updates of firmwares to keep up with what Google has made available. Yes, there are things that I loved about the hardware of Ascend Mate 6.1 and the Huawei X1 but I think I will try not to be tempted by Huawei again for my next device even though the hardware features might be out of this World impressive. No point in supporting a company who is only happy with their own abilities to create interesting hardwares but not interested in taking care of customers on the software side.
A moderator on a huawei board announced a lollipop for the X1. If it's true... you might turn back to Huawei again
