This ROM isn't a fully woking one so I do not recommend installing it on your device, it is mainly for demonstration purposes, only to show people that development of further O.S is possible and highly probable. This ROM is brought by subpsyke, a developer at [XDA - developers] and valuable forum member. This development is in alpha phase, hopefully in the near future a working version of CyanogenMod 9 will be released for the wider public.

So, the steps to install CM 9:

1st Step: Root your phone, after rooting, you should install ROM Manager. if you don't know how to do it check the following post: Root.

2nd Step: Open the ROM Manager application. Ensure that you have the latest ClockworkMod build by checking the version information in the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery section, and updating if necessary.

3rd Step: Select Download ROM, after that select psyke83. Select ClockwordMod 9, and press the Download button.You will see a popup: ROM Addons. Place a checkmark beside the entry for the Google Apps (even if you already installed the package on your current ROM). 

When the download completes, you'll see a ROM Pre-Installation dialogue. 

Select: Wipe Data & Cache, which means that everything will be wiped from your device, so it is advised to backup your ROM.

Press OK to allow ROM Manager to reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery and perform the installation.When installation finishes, the phone will automatically reboot.

Important things to know about CM 9:

How to install CyanogenMod

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).

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

Overclocking your phone

Overclocking is the process when you speed up your phone's microprocessor. This can be achieved by various programs which can be downloaded from the Android Market.

Choose a program from the list ( I recommend OverclockWidget), install it. Add it to your homescreen as a widget (By pressing your screen until a list pops up, press the "Widgets" button, then find and add the "OverclockWidget"), set both markers to 600000 Hz.

Congratulations! Now your phone is functioning with a 600 MHz microprocessor. Notice the increase in performance.

Note that in order to use this function, your phone should be rooted. If you don't know how to do it, check the following post.

How to root your phone

With this tutorial you will manage to root your phone and remove branded software.

(If you own a Huawei U8180 (Not Orange Stockholm) only the First Step is necessary, also if you don't want to remove branded software, just to root the phone)

1st Step: Enable installation from unknown sources (Go to menu> settings> applications>) and usb debugging from the same path (menu>settings>applications>development), install Gingerbreak v1.2, run it (download the program to your pc, connect your phone's SD card to your pc, copy the apk file to your SD card, disconnect your phone from your pc then run the program from your SD card). When the program finishes acquiring superuser privileges it will restart.

2nd Step: Then install root capable File Manager (Grant superuser privileges if asked).

3rd Step: Open and modify /default.prop with the File Manager. (Enable Read/Write=the program should display "Mounted as r/w" in the top of the screen press the screen on default.prop until a list pop up, scroll down to the "Open in Text Editor" command)

  Change line: ro.secure=1 to ro.secure=0

 Save file.

4th Step: Install Terminal Emulator, run the following command (type the words, then press enter; you don't have to type the $ symbol):

$ su

$ mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock8 /cust

5th Step: Run the File Manager again and delete /cust/orange folder, but leave the /cust/lost+found folder there. (You can delete a folder by pressing it until a list pops up with the command Delete)

Reboot(Restart) your phone.

6th Step: Install Root Uninstaller: Uninstall all programs with same Orange coloured icon (usually the following, without the complete list:)

Orange homescreen, analogue clock, digital clock, homescreen tips, Orange headlines, Orange startup, Vip contacts, Profiles, Sim toolkit, stock games...

7th Step: Reboot your phone.

Now you have a clean Android system.
