Ok so far got 1 bug in the Android browser and using Dolphin HD also the same, each time after finish watching Youtube videos embedded in this forum, need to press the Menu button> Windows and (X)close. If trying to click another link inside the browser it will crash.

Updated the user list. Glad to see our numbers are growing! Added a special section for games that works well with the X5. If you guys played a game and want to add it to the list, hit me up! PM prefered so I can update straight away. Very busy these days, open the topic and see so many new updates, shocked lol

wow shadow, 900mb!! must be one heck of a game. enjoy most of my fave games (super tumble, spaghetti+marshmallows, space physics)  take like 3-5mb

can backup before updating it. Just restore back using the recovery boot. Later I put my own updated instruction.

Installation step for Custom ROM.

Step 1: Set up Clockwork Recovery:

1. Download clockwork at http://www.multiupload.com/DQGL84P3A5. Unzip and only use the recovery.img from the cust folder.
2. Ensure that there are no Huawei rom updates on your SD-Card in the dload folder and unplug the phone from your computer
3. Boot to bootloader mode by pressing the up and down volume keys and pressing the power button. This will show a plain violet/purple screen.
4. Connect the phone to your computer. In windows it will automatically mount one mass storage device which corresponds to the /cust_backup folder on your phone. If your OS supports EXT3 it will mount multiple devices, look for the one with an images directory and this is the device to use.
(Basically there is a flash drive with a folder that you can rename the current recover.img and paste the clockwork one.)
5. In the images directory rename recovery.img to something else (ie. recovery.bak) and then copy the new recovery image in its place.
6. Exit bootloader mode by pulling out the battery.

Note: You now have the clockwork recovery installed. Boot to recovery by holding the volume up and power buttons to turn the phone on.
To scrol up and down use the volume button. To enter/select use the power button.

Step 2: Set up Clockwork Recovery:

1. Download B160 ROM; update.zip to you pc from: http://www.multiupload.com/0HR8W3BMUR
Don't need to unzip it.
2. Copy update.zip to your sdcard. Either SD card or internal 2GB. Put in root/main directory.
2. Boot to clockworkmod recovery by pressing power button & volume up simultaneously (don't press volume down).
3. In clockwork you can perform a full backup. Go to backup & restore > backup > enter.  Wait until it complete (there is a progress report).
Complete the backup.

Reboot back in Clockwork recovery.
4. Apply update from sdcard. It wil state the update.zip file found. Press power button for enter. Wait until it complete (there is a progress report).
5. Reboot to system. First boot will be slow as it rebuilds the dalvik cache so be patient, successive boots will be back to normal.
6. To ensure you are in the new ROM. There is a poweruser icon and its running launcher pro.

Notes

1. By default the kernel is set to the default cpu governor and clock speed. If you would like to overclock I suggest using setcpu: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...937&postcount=1
2. Be aware that after applying this you won't be able to restore the full backup unless you either revert to the original rom, or change the boot image. The purpose of the backup is instead to have a backup of /data just in case something goes wrong.

u sure our phone can be rooted using this?

normally, it's advised to take out the sd card in case somethin goes wrong during the rooting and it won't accidentally wipe out yr sd content.

For those who love the phone with no application pre-install

actually.. what is this recovery.img n clockworkmod? still cant get the hang for this... 

we do this to go into recovery mode?

Turn off your device, turn your device on while holding 'volume up' and 'volume down' the screen will turn purple

When it become purple, plug the hp to the pc using USB cable and you can access the flash driver where located the recover.img.

hmmm... y so many ppl hving problem with the rooting?

What the advantages of partition the internal 2GB?

huh?
why dont you just save your apps in SD card
since ROM has only so little space?
before doing this, how much is the ROM?
the 2GB internal memory and ROM are 2 different things, is it?

try to remove those useless stock games. if u r able to do it, means it's rooted..

to check ur device is root or not, just simply go to application drawer c got superuser or not
