+1 Exactly the only reason i see is that we don't have enough ram due to their bloatware custom skin.
They just want us to buy new phones, developing software for already sold hardware provides them no money... And unlocked bootloaders makes you keep the same phone for more time and they don't make more money with that...
Guys, you're all off topic here. Go chat about that somewhere else. A question has been asked, someone needs a reply
I found another people,
Lenovo Ideapad A1, a tablet that has OMAP3622 (running with Cortex-A8 @1GHz and PowerVR SGX530), and will have official ICS.
Upgraded my signature with this info.

Hi,
do you have a source for this info. I have A1 but can't find any official announcement for ICS on it
Hi dusko_m , here are some news about Lenovo's plans for ideapad:
http://www.91mobiles.com/blog/10962/Lenovo+unveiled+ICS+tablet+via+teaser+video+on+YouTube.html
http://asiabizz.com/9694/lenovo-announces-android-4-0-update-for-tablets-in-india/
http://www.pcworld.com/article/248946/lenovo_to_upgrade_thinkpad_tablet_to_android_40_in_q2.html
Maybe something was misunderstood.
For LG Optimus Black P970:
«These upgrades will be followed by upgrades for the following smartphone models during the third quarter of 2012: the LG Optimus 3D, the LG Optimus Black, the LG Optimus Big, the LG Optimus Q2 and the LG Optimus EX.»
https://www.facebook.com/notes/lg-mobile/ice-cream-sandwich-ics-os-upgrade-schedule/334420639902596
Long time.
This source has some explanation about Lenovo A1:
Update (08 Aug 2012): The explanation from Lenovo (Mark) is this: “The A1-07 model was sold in multiple regions, and shipped with Gingerbread (2.3) while the A1-107 (Type 2228-C1U) model that is shipping with ICS preloaded is sold through Best Buy is a US only model and the OTAs that you are seeing are for that system and not the prior. As there are no present plans to release multiple images, there won’t be an OTA push of ICS for the existing A1-07 models. I know that skillful people are able to load the image for the A1-107 model, and I expect that the ICS source files for the new A1 are in the process of being made available. Perhaps something else may develop in the future, but that is where things stand today….”

After all, ICS is officially possible in OMAP3622 (ARM Cortex-A8 + PowerVR SGX530)!
About LG Optimus Black P970, they are having serious trouble in keeping their word
http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_optimus_black_ics_update_confirmed_by_the_retail_box-news-4677.php
Even low hardware phones such as HTC Desire C is capable of running ICS.
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.
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 all,

Don't know if gizmochina is a reliable source of information.. but i'm sure about another thing.
At the moment, KK roms, compared to JB (B125), aren't good: bad performance, laggy, some bugs.. (for example.. i hate that 3G icon stucked in the status bar when mobile data are switched off)
I don't understand Huawei.. they release a lot of beta, new UI, new os. Is to so hard to make only ONE well optimized update?
Hi and thank you for (hope good) news :highfive:

sadly that isnt what the community wants..
when Huawei started to improve the old firmware, everybody was going crazy because they don"t release the KitKat software.
So they brought out the KitKat software and everyone was going crazy that the software was not optimized.. so Huawei will start to improve this software too..
and i bet most of the people will blame Huawei for not giving the new Android L for the P6 but giving new updates on Kitkat which will improve the system.... but that are only my 2 cents about the community...

This is true. According to Huawei, the P6/P6S will get the update in November. I don't have a link to the Chinese Huawei forum, but that was where I saw this info first.

I also asked the chinese people in the comments, one of them answered that its true that the p6 will get EMUI 3.0 in November. So nothing lost in translation.
November could be a beta release, and the beta firmware being incompletely packed. So 1 month of beta test, and then another month of waiting for offical release, which means the stable complete version would be released on January.

Hello! [emoji4]
Nope, I don't, unfortunately, but this isn't the place to discuss themes anyway. [emoji6]
I readed it here and translated with google translate
http://www.huaweiblog.de/emotionui-2/emui-3-0-ab-ende-september-zum-download-verfuegbar/
"EMUI 3.0 available for download from the end of September
In August we had already Huawei 3.0 new version of its user interface EmotionUI reported. This was then officially launched and announced that the EmotionUI version 3.0 only EMUI says on the IFA2014 in Berlin Huawei. The first devices with EMUI 3.0 there also the new high-end and mid-range flagship Ascend Ascend Mate 7 and G7 was introduced.
Now there is good news for many other instruments from Huawei. In addition to the Mate 7 and the G7 will be EMUI 3.0 updates for the following smartphones.
Huawei Honor 6
Huawei Ascend P7
Huawei Ascend P6
Huawei Ascend Mate 2
Huawei Honor 3X
Huawei Ascend G750
Beginning September 30, updates for the Honor 6 and the Ascend P7 should be available. A little later because new firmwares with EMUI 3.0 should follow the other devices mentioned above. The updates will be initially distributed in China. Whether the international updates are simultaneously available, we could not bring in experience. But we'll keep you up to date."

I'm a bit confused where Huawei is going with this phone.
We still don't have a fully functional, bug free or optimised EMUI 2.0/2.3 - Android 4.4.x Rom, yet they're moving ahead with EMUI 3.0?
For many people, including myself, EMUI 1.6 + JB 4.2.2 is still the fastest, most stable, and most battery friendly Rom we have.

Could be because they were not happy with Emui2.3 and therefore no longer wanted to improve on it and instead jump straight to 3.0. The Chinese P6 users never had a Emui2.3 released and so they had Emui3.0 in plans back at the time when Emui2.3 was released for international users.

Dear Mr. Steven B,
The situation with updates depends on several aspects.
If the update has not been released by Google for this type of processor, will not be released officially.
Best regards!

-.- They are unacceptable google and Samsung. Τhe one over the other (Sorry for my English)
That's a load of bull. There are MANY devices out there with the same processor that have lollipop. This one's all Samsung.
They really don't want to release it.
Fortunately, we have great developers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-neo/development/p-motion-rom-ll-t3257790
We must wait untill the bugs will be solved.
been this rabbit hole before. you will never have a custom rom with no bugs. EVER
Samsung said the s3/s3 neo are not powerful to handle TW Lollipop, dafuq? The HTC HD2 is a windows device and has a working port of marshmallow ?. So Samsung is forcing us to buy a new device to get updates. I read that 50% of Samsung phones can get lollipop but only 5% received it -_-
They're ridicolous! There are many devices that are less powerful of our S3 Neo and they've got Lollipop. The only answer to all this is that they're forcing us to buy new Samsung phones, of course.
