Unhappy [Q] How do I install a .zip ROM on CWM 5.0.0.5?

I know this is the wrong thread for my phone, but my phone has no forum at all.
I am an idiot and I have this little crappy phone called Huawei Ideos U8150, and basically I did **** installing this CM7 ROM I don't really like, so I want to install a new rom wich comes in this page:

droidxda.blogspot.com/2012/01/romhuawei-u8150u812081xxice-cream_08.html#axzz1oHk1OAra
(since I'm a new user, I can't link).
The prob. is that every single time I want to install, it appears as if there is an error at recovery mode and pops me out the normal menu saying some options, if I try unzip it here is the same. Unzipping at my PC won't help. This lil' bastards are tricky and delete .apk files if I unzip them there.

I am pretty surprised I didn't bricked my phone.
Explain me step-by-step and easily what to do, I don't know everything about this.

what if you try with CWM 5.0.2.7 ?

the post says:
Huawei U8150 | CWM 5.0.2.7 Only

might be worth a shot

PS:
dunno where you can find that cwm but google might help you there

I would, if you could help me find an .apk for 5.0.2.7 since one of reasons of me wanting to change is the lack of gapps

I just realized I have CWM Recovery 5.0.2.8, why won't it work with newer versions?
