Please post an update if you brave thru the update. The little untranslated things in settings annoy me, but if I ended up with the whole UI being in Chinese it would be just a waste of time to set everything up again (not sure how reliable twrp backup is).

Well, I have tested twrp backup. I was able to backup system, data and boot. I then really tested it. I wiped system and data, and then restored backup. The restore worked fine. So twrp passed the test.
I don't think I'll try the update.img for two reasons: one, the risk of getting a Chinese-only firmware; two, there's no easy way to remove the stock recovery from the update.img. That means that twrp gets wiped and stock recovery restored if I install the update.img. Can I reinstall twrp on the updated firmware? If not, I've lost any access to my backup.
I wish that Boyue would provide a simple update.zip on their baidu site for the T63. It would be easier to remove the stock recovery from that and then restore my backup if the update isn't good.
So, unless I know I can restore my backup, I won't try it. The update will still be Android 4.2.2. No advantage there. It might improve stock apps, that I don't use. No advantage there. The backlight works fine for me. Battery life is fine. So, the risk is relatively high to update, but the benefits relatively small. Guess I'm staying put for now!
