DESCRIPTION
UPDATE (12.28.2014)
Firmware with the newest, 07.23 kernel.
Thanks to SoCr@Te for uploading the original.
I have been using this modded fw for about five months, so i think share it 
The stock firmware same as the firmware with 04.26 kernel, the only difference is in block device layout: the preloader partition is bigger (maybe standardization )
This modded firmware (SP Flash Tools and drivers NOT included) has the same preferences as my previous fw's, and has some upgrades:
System:
- added SuperSU v2.40, Advanced Task Killer, CM Security, Terminal Emulator, WellBrightness, Total Commander
- default launcher is Apex
recovery:
- Aroma File Manager was integrated in system, can run it from recovery (Carliv/Aroma File Manager)
- modded Carliv Touch Recovery v2.5 with Back button (switchable in Advanced menu/Toggle touch control) and tar+gzip is the default format. Working good without external SD card.
Other:
- no gps.conf because it is useless in W450 (and many other) firmwares. Use the Engineer Mode/Location/Location Based Services for settings. Engineer Mode: call *#*#1478963#*#* in dialer.
- GPS working perfectly with external gps antenna (something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2oNmuNePls
Or use bluetooth gps receiver.
You have to flash with Firmware Upgrade option!
Enjoy!
UPDATE (08.29.2014)
If your touch digitizer not working with CTR, there is a quick workaround for it (for CTR2.5, maybe not working with earlier versions):
In the recovery go to the Mounts/Storage with vol down key and select it with power key.
Select mount /data, then select umount /data and the touch screen begins to work
Swipe left for go back menu.
I am working on back button, but have some problems
UPDATE (08.15.2014)
There is two types of touch screen for the W450. One of them bottom buttons lighted by the LCD, the other type not.
This latter type not working with the Carliv Touch Recovery most of cases.
I am working on it, if you have this type of TS, could use another recovery.
UPDATE (07.17.2014)
The problem with the new stock firmware is that the aiding of GPS (agps) not working.
There is a new version - MNL_VER_13120501ALPS05 - MNL file (system\xbin\libmnlp_mt6582) for GPS in the P11 stock firmware but it seems to be not suitable for this firmware. (?!?!)
Solution: must be change the mnl file to an older mnl. The fix contains an earlier version (MNL_VER_13071801ALPS05) of this mnl.
I repacked the fixed firmware too and uploaded it.
And I made a patch for fixing it for those of you who upgraded the phone already.
The patch (W450_P11_agpsfix.zip) installable over CWM recovery.
The other thing:
I am very sorry but i made a mistake in the P9 firmware. I deleted a system file so the Local Based Service in Engineer Mode is disabled. 
I made an another CWM installable fix (W450_P9_ksanci_fix.zip) to resolve this issue.
I apologize for any inconvenience, hope you enjoy these fixed firmwares.

Flash:
Unzip the files, install the vcom driver (if not yet), run Flash Tool. Choose scatter file. Power off your phone (Quick boot must be disabled in Accessibility menu!). Choose Firmware upgrade or Download (see next session), click on Download button and plug in your usb cable and flash will be start. If not, try unplug and replug again.
UPGRADE:
IF YOU HAVE OLDER FIRMWARE (width any kernel version from 2013) YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE FIRMWARE UPGRADE!
ON FIRMWARE UPGRADE YOU WILL LOST ALL OF YOUR DATA! (including internal storage and SD but except your external SD card)
MAKE BACKUP FROM YOUR USERDATA FIRST!
UPDATE:
If you have kernel dated feb. 27, 2014 already, you may choose Download and select only boot, recovery or system images, as you wish.
Or if you only want the new (P9) baseband and don't want upgrade your older kernel, choose my previous rom.
After rebooting you could restore your user data from backup.
The cache and Dalvik suggested to wipe after restore!
THE GPS, TOUCH SCREEN ISSUES ARE HARDWARE ISSUES, THERE IS NO FIX BY SOFTWARE OR FIRMWARE!
Enjoy and sorry for my english 
※Please make a backup of your device before installing or updating ROM
With the new firmware baseband P11 I've noticed a major decrease of battery life than the fw I used before baseband P5/P7. Basically now lifetime of phone is aprox 24 hours after a full charge and before was aprox 48. I've noticed big battery drain even phone is in IDLE mode (but with WIFI on – exactly same settings used in P5/P7).
Ksanci, is the same battery lifetime between 2 charges also on your phone ?
My phone does not had 48 hour battery time neither firmware and baseband
The average battery run time is about 16-24 hours with every firmware depending on using of phone.
hi, i have w450, and few days ago i installed miui rom from recovery mod and it works nice. then the problem was gapps and playstore. i installed google gapps installer from miui store, and i had problem with google framework, it crashes a lot of aplications, and when i wanted to run play store it says "no connection/retry". i deinstalled google installer and found on internet gapps.zip, i flashed it in recovery and it works, but there was another problem. My camera bricks, i couldnt open it, so i get in recovery mod, wiped all cache, data, dalvik, format system, and then i started flashing MIUI (which was installed before and worked). when installation finishes, i go to reboot device, and then nothing happends, it just turned off. Now i cant turn mobile on, i can turn it on only in recovery mod. i tried to install miui again, and after installation, when i go to reboot device i have the same problem… Any idea what should i do?
It could not happens normally. If your phone starts in recovery mode only, then your system and /or partitions maybe damaged. The worst thing is the failure of the NVRAM because of loosing the IMEI.
I use this gapps installer: http://www.teamandroid.com/gap.....ps/ you need the Gapps CyanogenMod 10.1
You have to try to do a firmware upgrade with flash tools and if your nvram is intact your phone will be working again.
Never try to install a custom recovery installable system to a not working phone!
I need help, my phone turns on with blank screen, I just realized that my drive was LCD Driver IC: 1-otm9806E_dsi_6572_fwvga_drv, and p11 was to burn one-ili9806C_dsi_vdo_6582, need help please.
This rom is only for the W450 phone.
