On standard setting is faster and smoother.
You should try it.

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.

I used same one for my Arc. Is very good. I'm now waiting the stock for my X5.

I have black phone so getting the black cover. It is very thin.
Supposed to arrive next week.

Both are in recovery img. Just just to replace the original one but do copy out or rename to backup.

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.

Still not completed? Mine around 5 minutes.
Well if cant after 15 minutes.

1. Pull battery.
2. Run clockwork back.
3. Load from update.zip and boot back.

Not sure. I done all 3 in a same day. No issue.

If you want to use the B10. Dont need SD Card.

Added on June 14, 2011, 11:56 pmTried 2x and reboot. Should I reboot and try again?

Try again.

Wow this thread is going fast.

Rooting and custom rom is different. If you want, just try custom rom directly. It comes with root.

Tried the many times partition but no difference.
How do I know this week?

Stated here is for 4GB phone. Which one is for 2GB?
