Hello geng
I managed to get one yesterday and mine is the white one  What I did yesterday 1. CWM: flashed the Perfect Recovery 4.0.0.5 by Genokolar  ... quite easy and straight fwd just replace the recovery.img2. Root: phone using SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse 3. Flashed the OC kernel: using Overclock kernel --update max 1.8Ghz,fix smartass 4. Use SetCPU to set my CPU at 1.1Ghz 5. Installed SBP Shell 3D Maybe gonna flash the new B138 or B162 Rom later  |

I dont think need the new HW Vision one lah
to tell u the truth IMHO ... X5 is good enough since u can OC it till 1.8GHz ...plus the casing is quite nice compare to unibody silver & black ... just my 2 cents |

QUOTE(panglimanadzri @ Aug 10 2011, 06:29 AM) after oc'ing, you got any performance gain? What is your final n stable clock? how about battery? performance wise snappier when using spb shell 3d ... i set the clock at 1 or 1.2G only ... dont want to push that much maybe will effect batt.is it sufficient to oc by just using app? there's some app for oc'ing in android app market. Wonder if i can use that for oc'ing.. as far as i know there is no OC sw in market ... u need the OC kernel then u can set ur speed etc using setCPU BTW I got my white hard case already .... damnnnn nice & sweet This post has been edited by cruzzmz: Aug 10 2011, 06:22 PM |

QUOTE(kennethbta @ Aug 22 2011, 09:29 PM) confused B13x rom usually is for rest of the world X5 so the B13x roms are actually stock roms? there's even b160 on the front page...  while B16x is rom released for China X5 most of the latest rom is 2.2 ... so u pick and choose |
