How to install CyanogenMod

With the help of this guide you will be able to install a Custom ROM called CyanogenMod (which is based on Android 2.3 aka Gingerbread)

This port may work on other Huawei phones, but only the U8160 and U8180 are confirmed to be 100% compatible thus far!

CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RC0 "u8160" Port
Latest release: 
v1.5 2012.08.02
Latest Google Apps package: 20110828
This is a port of Cyanogen 7.2.0-RC0 (based on Android Gingerbread 2.3.7) for the Huawei U8160 and Huawei X1 (U8180). The current port status is stable - all hardware is working correctly, the only issue is that at volume level >70% there is a bass boost  (Fixed).

Pre-requisites:
Install the GooManager application from the Play store.
You need ClockworkMod, ROM Manager and a rooted phone to install. (For rooting info check this post)

Installation (updating from older CM7 build):
  • Open the GooManager application.
  • Select the Check for rom updates option.
  • Click on the notification for the available update and then click the Download button.
  • When the download finishes, enter recovery and install the update package followed by the Google Apps package.

Installation (first time/new users):
  • Open the GooManager application.
  • Navigate to psyke83 -> roms -> u8160.
  • Click on the build you wish to install from the list.
  • If needed, click the Download Gapps button to download the Google Apps package. The most recent (and most suitable) version will always be selected for you automatically.
  • Click on the Download button to download the rom.
  • Once the download(s) are complete, reboot into recovery and install the update package, followed by the Google Apps package.
  • Important: if you are updating from a stock or custom ROM, choose the data wipe option before rebooting.



CyanogenMod 7.2

 Please note, that CyanogenMod will not "unlock" your phone.

      2. Goo Manager version 1.5.7 should work - you need to download it and copy it to the sdcard and then run ity from file manager.

        I was able to install this and then found psyke83 in the /dev folder

    10. you can not download goomanager from the link you provided, it takes you to the play store to download. from there you can only download the latest version which requires you to have android 2.3 and above, goo manager is no longer compatible with andriod 2.2, so unfortunately this guide is now obsolete!!!

      1. Salut. Iti sfatuiesc sa-ti cumperi un miniSD card reader. Dupa aia sa incerci aceasta metoda de a reporni Androidul: http://orangestockholm.blogspot.ro/2012/02/stock-roms-for-huawei.html
