I have to root. This phone is pure trash without doing so. Huawei doesn't skin the stock ROM, but it has less than desired CPU settings so the phone lags BIG TIME because it always works at 300MHz and has to preload EVERYTHING.

So now my current min is 1113 MHz and the max is 1132 MHz. Recently set up Link2SD which links your internal apps to the SD card, the thing flies. No lag whatsoever. Can play everything that actually works on a 3.5" screen too. Was actually playing Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 actually. Made me laugh so much because so many people using better phones can't even get it to boot.

Running CM10.1 too, awesome.
Which Huawei phone do you have? The Rom you posted earlier...what was that? :)

Fusion 2 (U8665), actually an unreleased ROM that they're still tweaking, probably be up by next week. All our roms are ported from the Ascend G300 since it has the same chip, and there's always been a few files that have to be switched out since our screen is smaller.

I'm using the Betterbean Red theme, which is why it's red. :p

Not rooted, hacked or cooked. Still running the stock OS on my GSIII. Older screen but still looks similar today.

Apex Launcher
BeWeather Pro (2 different widgets)
Power Toggles
Simple Calendar
A few custom icons I made myself

What icon set is that? I can never find just the clear ones like that.
Icon set is called SmallWhites

Man, you can't just post a screen shot like that and not give details. Tell us how you did that, please. :D
I followed Dr McKay's link for the Lights theme and just changed it up a bit. Changed the wallpaper, added a few other icons, and finally added a missed notifications widget.

The cool thing is that with just those little changes, it creates a whole new feel to the home screen.

Haha, yeah, so what did you break that made you end up with it? Didn't you have a S3 or Note I think?

There's CM7.2, CM9, CM10, CM10.1, a stock ICS ROM from the Ascend, and then a few CM based tweaked ones. We're getting Pacman next week - It's not very impressive to begin with because you can't take advantage of the tablet UI since the phone is that small, but there are some instances where the 120/130dpi looks good. Mostly to fit more text in when reading the news.

One person's "overpriced" is another's bargain.

Of course. That is why I have all my Apple gear. :D

That setup looks really good ChazUK. Same to you blairh.

Haha vie gone from my Note to a fusion 2 to a Nexus 4 and now I picked up the iPhone in case I want to switch between iOS and android. Android is still 1000000% better than iOS though.

I had no idea that they had all those Roms for the Fusion 2

Well, it's just happen in the last few months. The day I got it, a root had JUST came out.

I was patiently waiting for a root method. I got it in November 2012 I think and sold it around early January. I miss it now that I could have some good ole CM7 on it. I spent so much in the Android Market on themes back in the day :(

But still quite classy and subtle :) And yep that's my own photo from the camera as a wallpaper.
