Hi. recently i got in Symphony W150. Its quite good specs and quality in such a price (BDT 1700, around 167 Euros). This is almost same as GIONEE ELIFE E3 except 1gb storage. Gionee ELIFE E3 comes with 16gb storeage Anyway it takes my whole day to search and find the way to install CWM recovery in to that phone. though root was easy. So I collect all the necessary info for Symphony w150 and describe here very easy and simple way How to root and install Clockwork mod recovery (CWM) on Symphony w150. But first DO AT YOUR OWN RISK AND PROBABLY YOU WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

8. Now disconnect the phone. Press and hold Vol+ and Power together and You will get synphony logo. after 1 sec you will see CWM on your phone. dont take out your finger untill u see CWM.

HD Theme Hack on Symphony W150

As i told previously symphony its just re branded Gionee ELIFE E3 except minor storage change, it is possible to download more theme other then few stock themes include on the phone.

1. download build.prop editor from play store.

2. open build.prop editor and grant superuser.

3. search "theme" on build.prop editor

4. change the value of :

" ro.gn.theme.net.support" no to yes.and save.

" ro.gn.theme.style " 0 to 1 and save.

5. Now search "change" on build.prop editor and change the value of :

"ro.gn.change.support " no to yes.

Now reboot your device and check in theme section have download option. but its painfully slow speed to download though.

whole process will take around 1 hour. so be patience and do only if you know what you are doing. thanx and happy Nandroid.
