For Huawei Ascend G6 L11 LTE
Hi!
This is the ROM i have in my phone, it was changed by me and for now everything is working fine.
If you want default tutorial go here :
>>>DEFAULT TUTORIAL:
https://www.facebook.com/Huawei.Ascend.G6.L11.Kit.kat.B370/posts/1427876034188089.

My version still Kit kat B370 but edited by me, is a backup from my phone.

Please read all to understand and see what you need to do and how to do it.

This Version is diferent because if you have a ext4 partition in your external sd card it will install the apps there automatically!!!
Advantage of this? you will have a huge store space for the apps!!!
If not it will work like default ROM.

To create a primary ext4 partition in sd card with the size you want, you can use mini partition tool (for windows OS ).
http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html

You can create the partition after flash but you CAN´T activate your Google account or install anything else, before your reboot the phone with the partition inside sd card.
Now, if you are using it default than you create the partition and reboot, the phone don´t delete the apps but will shutdown that apps creating errors...
To use it with sd card ext4 partition is better to start from factory reset with the partition already created in sd card!
This video shows how this ROM works with a external ext4 partition in sd card what means that all apps go to sd card and let internal storage free:
https://youtu.be/7st6838_aAg

It have Rashr from XDA, it is a app that easly can change/flash your recovery and some other things.
When you flash this ROM it will create in your sd card a folder called recoverys, inside you will find TWRP ( modde by me to ) and the default recovery.
How to use it? Open Rashr, give root permissions, selecte recovery, search in explorer for sdcard1, open recoverys folder choose the one you want and flash it! Is that simple.

>>>>>This Rom have:
-Rashr from XDA, its a flash tool to use in phone
-Custom bootanimation and shutdown animation
- One Hand UI ( helps to write in keyboard with one hand, you can find in shortcuts bar )
- Root
- Root tools (Root Browser, ES File Explorer, build.prop editor, etc...)
-Same cosmetic changes ( battery icon, signal reciver and wifi icons edited)
-Swap
- Governor set to performance
-Low cpu frequencie set to minimum ( 300000 )
- RAM tweaks
- Entropy tweaked ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(computing) )
-Google Play updated
-Huawei backup app update
-Huawei File manager Update
-Only basic Google apps
-The Icons order was changed
-P8 Theme manager
- More options in Storage folder
- The sdext4 shortcut is to your external ext4 partition IF you have it in sd card, if not, is a regular folder.

And same other things...

I hope you enjoy it.

ADVISE!
Always do backup from the ROM you have in your device.
If you have root you can use this tool, it have a backup option.

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 THE 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/apps with the default backup app from the phone to restore after install it.

->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 ).

Before flash see this video it shows a basic Flash with out changing the partitions size and with out a external ext4 partition and don´t show to how to change cust because it is already set to my provider.
It shows the flash from B118 than to Huawei_Ascend_B370_LTE_BB ROM:

Now the ROM!

KEY:
!7PmY_vzI-i7a2P4wR6f5g15capGSZxFqIvFgri30aPA

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.

Bricked my device. Flashed it successfully via TWRP and after the automatic reboot, nothing came back on not even the screen
