Well I got my honor 4x !!

Using it for a day now .... and I am happy with it .......

Need to root it very badly for custom roms Any suggestions will help

 

[aveekbhat]

the experience after 1 day with Honor 4X

sorry guys for the delay .... yes was busy doing the switch

• 
  the Good
  the phone is light weight
  very responsive ... there is no lag in normal operation
  the battery seems to be pretty good ... i had charged it once to 100% (up from 65% in the package) after i opened the package took 1hr 15 min to fully charge after using it for last 18 hrs (normal use dual SIM 3g+2g + wifi always on) the battery is down to 75% :good:
  the call quality is very good
  the camera and the UI seems very good
  the goodies with limited edition pack
  
  ​
  the headphones is very very good quality and looks good too :laugh:
  
  ​
  the external battery looks very good too :laugh:

• 
  the Bad
  the phone is very slippery ..... and the back case that came with limited edition pack looks good but very slippery ... feels like a accident waiting to happen (have to get a back case with better grip)
  NO lollipop
  the built-in browser is slow in use but the Chrome makes-up for it
  didn't support my 64gb SD card but that was known is advance maybe lollipop upgrade will fix it as the built-in 8Gb (4.15gb useable) is very low

• 
  the ugly
  ........ none :laugh:

will add pictures soon ... still to test out the Bluetooth and 4G speed ...

But eagerly waiting to root the phone and custom rom :laugh:

for 64gb sd support, check there is exfat module running or not..
or just backup your sd card and then flash to fat32, i hopw it will work..
in my experience, redmi 1s also 32gb support but i used 64gb easily..
even yu yureka 32gb limited and i am using 64gb in it..

Got Huawei Honor 4X limited edition within 12 hours of order (opted for 1 day delivery), everything seems wonderful about this phone except there is no root method available yet.

Can someone suggest the possible exploit method for this phone to root?

 

[tonyjs007]

Got it just now..

Update:
touch is now working fine aftr a factory reset

Not so happy with the initial use touch response is very poor feeling very difficult to go up and down in gallary and pics are opening with out touching and struggling to move from 1 pic to another(may b becz of the poor quality of the screen guard will change it and update) and my device is heating too much in very normal use, another dissapointed thing is volume and power buttons are attached to the back cover not with d hardware,
