PROJECT GINGER BEAN.
BY: lexsolutionz
what is project Gingerbean:
started as a quest to port a recovery for the Tecno N3, but now, has become something much more.
Ultilizing android Gingerbread 2.3.5 framework (low memory tasking)and marrying this with the Jellybean functionality!
Features:
Full init.d support! (dont understand? can increase your RAM to 1GB+)
Permanent shell root! (your phone is still rooted even if you factory reset the TECNO N3
No more memory full issues, preloaded with LINK2SD
TTPOD default music player
UCWEB default browser
Root Explorer default file explorer
currently 90% stable, event with most SWAPPING
Fully SWAP PARTITION COMPATIBLE
Jellybean startup animation
boring tecno startup and shutdown jingle changed
and lots more....
lexsolutionz is having a pre-release being uploaded to dropbox, which will be there for a temporal period of time.
please note:This version is free.

please note:This version is free.

Just wondering........Is there any custom ROM that is being sold before??

Please note: the installation of custom roms can literally (i.e. practically) damage your device; henceeee, i'll say this quickly: lexsolutionz or any of its staff are not responsible for any damage resulting from any action carried out by you truly.

regardless....the pros(successes) are better than the cons (risks)...soooo...lets get modding
Nowwww, with that being said, you must follow these steps one by one
Guide to installation of Ginger-bean:
Prelude: STOP! ANSWER YES TO ALL THESE QUESTIONS B4 YOU PROCEED FUTHER!!!!!!
ask yourself the following:
a. Have you backed up all your data to your SD or PC? if not, you must do so immediately especially your contacts (goto contacts menu, import/export, backup to SD)
b. Have you done a nandroid backup of your present rom? easiest way out of a Brick? if not, you must go to google play and download "online nandroid backup". when youve done so, run online nandroid backup, you will need an internet connection to update the nandroid scripts. select clockworkmod mode, then click "start backup" (note : have atlest 512MB on your SD card). the backup should take about 20 mins
c. do you have ADB driver for N3 installed? if no go here to find out how to do so:[url] https://www.nairaland.com/1261265/solution-boot-loop-bricked-techno#15537985[/url]
d. seriously know what your doing ?
d. Are you human yet are utterly into living on the edge ?
step 1-download the modded boot image (get here https://www.dropbox.com/s/k52ryk51nna0z8v/boot.img?v=0mcng)
step 2-download tools needed (get here https://www.dropbox.com/s/g1nkd5bthu1v4dq/tools_needed.zip?v=0mcng)
step 3-download N3 system img, its uploaded in split file (10 in all), here are the links:
1. https://www.dropbox.com/s/dlru2mnwc8093qq/sys.yaffs2.7z.001?v=0mcng

and

step 4- extract contents of tools_needed folder and install 7zip

step 5- use 7zip to extract the 10 split sys.yaffs2.img file (this can be done by copying them to the same folder the right clicking and selecting 7zip, extract archive)

step 6- boot your N3 into fast boot mode (this is done easily by removing the battery, and while holding volume-down button on plug in your usb cable, then wait till you see the TECNO logo displayed on the screen, wait for 5 second then release the volume-down button)

step 7 FLASHING THE TECNO:

At juncture you need to stop every other thing youve been doing while you wer doing this and concerntrate!!!

(Girl, allow that boy not to brick his phone o! and O boy, stop that Pinging O. Anyway, we have already said we'er not responsible for casualties)
[/i]were ready to flash...

At this point i'm right to guess we've all installed our ADB drivers using the [i]Android universal ADB installer. if not go here to find out how to do so [url] https://www.nairaland.com/1261265/solution-boot-loop-bricked-techno#15537985[/url]
now, run Android AIO flasher.exe (found in tools needed folder)
next, in the AIO flasher window, the very first menu is what concerns us i.e. where its written fastboot flasher (Nandroid Restorer)(the others we shall explain in later tutorials)
click boot
click Select file(browse to where you saved the boot.img you downloaded above)
click erase
click flash

YOU MUST wait for the black window below to show "writing boot...OK" before you know its done

Congratulations your almost done!!

Simply repeat the same process for the sys.yaffs2.img file, only this time, we go:
click System
click Select file(browse to where you saved the sys.yaffs2.img you downloaded above)
click erase
click flash

once again
YOU MUST wait for the black window below to show "writing sys.yaffs2.img OK" before you know its done.
it should take about 50 seconds, depending on your system specs.

Lastly, unplug the usb cable,
now, while holding "volume-up" plug it back
keep holding volume up till you enter the Android 3e stock recovery menu.
using volume up and down to move
select "wipe cache", PRESS power button to select
when this is finished
select "wipe data/factory reset"

when this is done restart your phone
these last two steps are important..else you may have boot-loop

well..guess thats pretty much it. regarding the memory boost..i will post that momentarily.
feel free to post feedback here

thanks man i have been looking for this

@xanders......Be prepared to be bamboozled with alot of questions.

Thumbs up to you.

First up, congratulations in doing this. Get ready to answer tons of questions. What advantages or benefits do you get from the ROM?

Following

Following, we need testimonies

this process needs a laptop right or can it be achieved without a system?

hakunajay: this process needs a laptop right or can it be achieved without a system?

As I can see USB cables and Adb drivers definitely you'll need a system

hakunajay: this process needs a laptop right or can it be achieved without a system?

When you see ADB....just know that @some point....you must use your lappie to do something.
Even if its only to flash a recovery image to your device or to flash a boot.img to your device.

Try editting the framework and get rid of the dark blue colour and make it cyan. A little bit of transparency will do
I like the project.
U should put up a detailed changelog with bugs and time tags. Give it versions cus I know more fixes are coming.
Good work but this is NAija were everyone wanna try. And the process to flash is none for novice. The project has been started. How about creating a flashable stock pre rooted zip through recovery. Thats gonna be easy.
Good work on the mod

I take this to be a typo?

Thanks for all the support people..
thanks also to xda and our in-house developers;
theres still a lot of work that can and will be done in this zone;
these are our phones: N7, N3, Q1, and so on
its Like I stated in an earlier post, this is a pre-release version . which has been tested, and It works
this version successfully applys mods to the boot and system partitions, futher versions will modify the kernel allowing usage of Custom recoveries
>>it has begun<<

hmm...I tried signing the zip once, but the verification still flopped ...That would really make installation easier

The sixth part of the sys.yaffs2.img file isn't among the links you posted.

yeah thanks
sorry about that
fixed...

works great. will be posting some screenshots soon.
encountered a boot loop in the process, though.
so, try at your own risk!

Kudos, lexsolutionz/xanders.

Touch seems tweaked for better response
Comes by default with Go launcher, Root Explorer, Swapper 2, Rom manager, Link2Sd, Titanium backup.
Does not come with UcBrowser or any vrowser preinstalled.
Doesn't come with Ttpod.
All in all, really good job.

great job

are you using swapper for root create swap? the default swapper isnt very stable hence It prevents mounting usb without killing the ****.swp file on your SD.Try using the pre-installed swapper2, in the swapper2 menu, go to setting and check safe mount and safe removal. let me know if this helps.
like I earlier stated this is a pre-release, and other more complete version are currently in the kitchen. custom roms aren't a single dev's effort alone but the combined effort of dev's (app developers) as well as comments of newies (new commers).
appreciate all your responses
