I bought this phone exactly two years ago. It is an excellent phone. I am not an IT guru so I am still using it the way I bought it without any upgrades. It is a very smooth phone. It serves me great!

I've found the best ROM to be Spanorg's LiquidSmooth 3.2 KitKat ROM (2014-08-21-viva-ext) it does wonders for this phone, latest video drivers. Everything is working, no real showstopping bugs.
You can get the radio working, bluetooth, wifi hotspot in a custom 4.4.4 rom. I think the only con/downside is the headphone volume is a little low, however I have headphone amps handy and it seems easy enough to investigate a solution.
I've tried all the ROMS for this phone, MOKEE, CM, Chinese firmwares. Nothing tops it for battery and smoothness.
I use smartassv2 governor, sio or cfq for scheduler, -25mV or -50mV under voltage and lower 236MHz frequency as the lowest, with 1026MHz highest when I want to conserve power. Battery Saver is on and 236MHz set for max when display off (also turning off gps, wifi and data while killing apps).
Otherwise just turn it on interactive and enable 1500MHz max and phone still doesn't use a great amount of battery until you start running games like that.
I've you have an Ascend P1 and you aren't scared of flashing and possibly bricking it go visit ascendp1.altervista.org for latest rom news dedicated to this phone.

The Official firmwares beyond this is all Chinese so you break more things than you fix (Eg, GooglePlaystore)
Don't know about the unofficial firmwares.

Downloaded official firmware (b315), got no radio. Went on to install B710, no playstore and backup recovery option. Some weird chinese store with no English option. Think its best to stay on ICS. Anybody know if the B229 firmware have radio and mhl for ICS.

Do not replace battery for the U9200 XL version. It is to large and you will not be able to close the back cover.

You can download&install the official firmware (emui1.5+ver4.1.1) on the official website or other unofficial releases which you can find on the internet. It is not easy to update and a little bit risky. If you follow the instructions, there will not be a problem. After you install the official firmware, you will also have the fm radio.
