Always do backup from the ROM you have in your device.

My device is working properly without any problem so far, some times bugs only be noticed with use and i will update this post with the ROM fixed.
Install it by your own free will, I am not responsible for any damage that may appear in the device.
This is a European ROM but, like the default one, there are same country restrictions in providers that may affect the 4G reception, etc, etc.
If you want to install, you can try to unlock these restrictions since the ROM has root.

>>>>> FIX CUST, CHANGE PROVIDER AFTER INSTALL ROM
This ROM was edited to vodafone pt but can be changed to your provider.
When you flash it, if you are not from Portuguese Vodafone it will show a bootanimation that say " Change Cust after settings than do a factory reset ".
This is how to fix it with Root Browser, that you can find in ROM, go to folder /DATA and seek the custom.bin file, open it as a text file, you will see something such as example zt/rt, now we left the folder /DATA and go to the folder /CUST , we open it and we will find a folder with the name vodafone, we will change the name of it to the first name that we saw in custom.bin in our example will is zt, use small font, now we entered the zt folder and we will find another folder that his name is pt, let's switch to the second name of our exemple which will be rt, use small font!
Go back and exit the app, do a factory reset. Done!

>>>HOW TO INSTALL ROM.
Do backup from your data with the default backup app from the phone, and you can do to a backup with TWRP from your ROM.
->You need bootloader unlocked, search in this page to how to do it ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-g6/general/huawei-ascend-g4-4g-l-11-instant-t3190617/page2 ) , and need TWRP recovery FROM THIS POST, to install TWRP boot in bootloader ( fastboot - turn off the phone, press vol - and power, release power on boot than vol when you see the fastboot screen, must say in red unlocked) and execute this file to install TWRP recovery:

TWRP2d.exe
https://mega.nz/#!T9pygRAC

KEY:
!qVujE5A7RrQeQ1dqFFuRGYtUvBLWo-PfrEAGr6QoGsI

To install ROM, copy the zip file bellow ( ROM ) to sd card, turn off the phone, press vol + and power at same time, release the power on boot than vol + when you see the blue screen from TWRP, go to install and search for the zip, than swipe to install! Done. The ROM will install the default recovery again, if you want to stay with TWRP you must flash it again.

----->Before ROM flash, IF YOU WANT to win 2205MB more for apps and user data flash this zip file with TWRP like it was a ROM, you can read the steps in the end of flash, but i will write bellow. For you understand when you see "Insufficient storage available" is not the storage where music or pictures go, that is like a sdcard, is data partition storage. What this zip do? This will take from that storage where music and pictures go to give to data partition storage. Why this is good? Every one have a external sd card for pictures and music, i think and this will let to to install more apps in phone!!! :p

ADVISE: This do a factory reset!!

->After zip Flash DON´T GO OUT FROM TWRP!
Go to main menu -> WIPE ->Advanced Wipe ->Select data -> go to repair or change file system -> change file system ->EXT4 Swipe to Change -> Now you can reboot.
.

-> My ROM have a swap ON ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paging#SWAP-SPACE ).

Now the ROM!

Note:
This "MAYBE" works in same L22, L33 but not dual SIM. Only testing you can know it. The Only issue for sure that will be is the home key but can be fix it with a simple app from google play.
You can try to use this app with this ROM, for now, if you want it.

Notes:
Tap Tap App is to use light sensor to unlock the phone, open Tap Tap app, Install, go to setup sensor, select "Unlock when removing the cover", unselect "Tap Tap unlocks the screen" ( G6 don´t have this option in kernel).

Busybox, is a tool to install several Linux tools to use with Android, like cmd in Windows... if i can say like this... You can use them with terminal emulator.

GPS Status helps with GPS, it gets faster, better if data is ON.

Hello,

I am really interesting in changing the ROM of my G6-4G-L11. I began to see your video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMDnP1tBsJ4&feature=youtu.be (what a shame there is no more sound!) as some things to do is not so easy to understand for me...
I have read all the topic above and you tell " Always do backup from the ROM you have in your device". I have no root access but I will try to have it with Kingo Android, is it a good option? After that, I would use your G6knife tool. I would try to follow all the steps you describe to change the ROM but I am really afraid! In case of problem, is it possible to return to the origianl ROM?

Thanks a lot
