Ascend P6 stock rom performance - Huawei Ascend P6, Mate

Hello I want to get huawei ascend p6 but am worried about all these issues people talk about. How is stock rom on p6 and what rom is most stable? I hear lots of issue with kitkat and many different beta version. Is official version not out yet? I am confuse since some say official some say beta. I dont' really want kitkat I am fine with 4.2 I just want stable. Should I just not check for update in android settings when I get phone? Or what version should I update to for best stable? I don't know if huawei pushing out beta builds on phone when you check for update so want to be sure get best most stable ROM.

For stability, I would say you want B125. If like me, your carrier hasn't updated you to this it's very easy to flash it using the update.app. It has good performance and very few bugs

KitKat B511 german and B508 chinese are no Beta. Both works perfect on my P6. Better as all rom before. :thumbup:
-B511 have no longer rightmanagment (restricted by google)
-B508 have no Gapps and all Huawei options are viable. But you can root it and flash Gapps with TWRP.
I'm prefere B508 on my P6.

Or alternatively install the google play apk file and download google apps via that.

[Q] Ascend P6 B132 and B127 firmware

Hi everyone.
Just want to ask, what is the latest firmware? Recently a German website posted a leak of un-official B132 firmware last March 18, 2014 and the official Huawei China website with a B127 firmware last March 24, 2014. I am bit confused what is the latest among the two firmwares.
Thank you.

P6S has different chip from P6. You cant use the P6 rom.
The P6S was not released internationally. So international rom might not exist. You will have to use check the Chinese latest roms (they have english language anyway).

You do not happen to know where I can get international firmware? I cannot find it on the Hauwei site at all.
Or at the very least can I use the Gapps and for the P6?
The Chinese firmware is quite frustrating when you are used to the features of Google

Unlikely there will be a international version.
Have you tried installing google playstore app using an apk file ? If that works then you should be able to use all gapps. Otherwise you might have to root i guess.
I have not tried that yet, will attempt that later.
Thank you for the quick feedback.

[Q] Can I update?

Hi guys,
I'm new to android and I was wondering if I can update my Ascend p6 in any way. I see there are non-official ROMs as well as the official Chinese kitkat update, but are these reliable? and if so which is best?
I would like to update but only if it would be stable. Can I update?

Ok, so I install that firmware, no problem is I have the P6-U06? and after that, unlock, flash twpr for kitkat and flash a rom. How about the 3G? It will work? (Im asking because I read that sometimes china has different 3G bands, so odont know if there will be some side effect using the chinesse rom)

But if I want it only to install TWPR and custom rom, is ok to use B506?
And another question, if I want to return stock, just need to flash the official international rom? and i want to use this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702483 or do you reccomend another one? (I know that the rom choose is more personal, but I just want an advice to start, and the language i can install spanish with MoreLocal I think)

B506 was what i used and worked well and you dont need to unlock the bootloader its already unlocked thats why you want b506. I dont know exactly how downgrading works never done it. I went trough hyd52rom v7 and v3 but i ended up flashing omni and still using it and 3g works for me (I live in Finland).

[Q] Update stock ROM

Hello.
I haven't seen an official Kitkat update for the P6-U06 - International Edition (i have the B113, JB 4.2.2 version).
As Huawei seems that it doesn't care about it, i want to update mi stock ROM to a fully functional Kitkat custom ROM.
Which ones are the most recommended???
I've seen versions B5XX, to miui, etc, but with huawei, i haven't worked with updates (i had a samsung cellphone, then an LG G, with which i didn't have problems finding the best ROMs), so i need a little help here.

B510, B511 and B512 are Official International KitKat Updates.
Yep i think there is also an B513 by now
But if you want a custom Rom, there is CyanogenMod 11 (newly arrived!), Paranoid Android and OmniRom
In my opinion CM11 and PA are the best
