@jikobutsu - the B894 is the latest recommended version, B895 is a test version and contains a russian operator bloatware...

rsrocha, why the full reset when the update already does that by itself (i think - it asked me for my google account again)?

B895 does not contain any bloatware its completely clean like B888. There is no bloat what so ever try testing it before you come to a conclusion

Does the phone keep all your settings/data/apps when upgrading?

[pOcHa]

@Jekle - I did not assume anything, but Frankish said that it contains some russian apps? If you say that it doesn't, then I don't know whom to believe...

[jikobutsu]

B895 is stock,however,the vendor contains a few Russian apps(easily removed with rom toolbox pro)

[RussellS]

So if I update to B894 or B895 will I be able to restore back to B885 using CWM (obviously after reinstalling it). jikobutsu had problems restoring after going to B895 so I wondered if others found the same.

[FrankieADZ]

i think the only "Stock" I'll try in the future is the ICS 1. unless there is something brilliant reported by another 1 before hand of course

So then it does contain some bloatware after all, and is maybe not branded but is certainly not stock either. And considering the next sentence from the B895 document, I myself would stay clear of it (but what is your experience with it so far?):

"In this version, most modules have run steadily and could be tested, including most applications..."

Went through the whole B894 version, and so far the only noticeable difference to B888 is a slightly more sensitive touchscreen, and a quicker transition from lock screen to the launcher (but haven't installed any apps yet, so it might be just a subjective feeling). Isn't night yet here, so can't confirm the weather widget moon thing...

Later i will compile this info into a single topic but i need help because i dont know what other versions came out before B888...
I suggest keeping an eye on that site where these roms where shared because at this rate we may have an ics build in the end of the month.

[Davidoff59]

I seem to remember seeing somewhere that the ics build was being compiled by a Russian company for Huawei. Makes sense given all the leaks from that Russian site which seems to be our only source of leaks.

well that kinda gives me hope that it will be leaked well before the proper release date then lol

[rsrocha]

I noticed an annoying thing since B894... I use an app to set my locale to English UK but after a reboot the locale goes back to English US making the phone numbers format with dashes.

[rsrocha]

I found that the Ascend C8812 already has ICS4 rom for download. I compared the specs between the g300 and they are pretty similar. Could it work on the g300?
