FOR NEWBIES ONLY:
Well....so long as you go to previous post and read them well, especially partitioning sdcard....then partition your sdcard into three, i.e. fat32, ext2 and linuxswap...backup your applications using titanium backup...flash the gingerbean FINAL...then do full wipe using 3e recovery, then restore your apps using titanium backup

note:
After the full wipe you will have to download titanium backup pro from filecrop.com

Are we going to select boot or system in A1O FLASHER? because i see only one file unlike previous one.

VERY IMPORTANT:
Note: IMMEDIATELY after flashing... Go to settings, storage, storage manager and change to external sd, you phone should reboot

select system ,and check erase

xander after flashing this rom my supersu failed to load binary
i think there's an issue with the network logo it keeps going on and off but network is working fine

good to have the fm app back you should have chipped in the email app as well

More review

supersu problem solved by doing full system wipe twice

in addition, just get a gud rmail app from http://apkmania.com,tanks to lexolutn group 4 tecno n3.weldone

Superuser problem? Just uninstall ur old super user before u install the rom...the process is the same for those who hav flashed n3 b4...xcept easier. If u wont mind loosing ur data, just flash the system using AIO or fastboot, and do a wipe via recovry. To enter flash mode, hold vol dwn and plug in cable for 5sec. To enter recovery hold vol up and plug cable for 5 sec

Good job. But data network notification is not stable which makes it difficult to know if there is data network or not.

Good job man, u have added flavour to N3. More ororo to ur akara...

But what is the essence of third partition(linuxswap)?

lat4real: But what is the essence of third partition(linuxswap)?

in windows system we hav virtual memory, in linux systems we hav swap (memory/RAM buffer).the linuxswap is a partition optimized for swapping, which means you cant save any user data on it

d link to dis final update is down, pls check link

try this one https://www.dropbox.com/s/0box5q1ellhtons/Desktop.zip

the drop-box servers are complaining because of the traffic

xanders: try this one https://www.dropbox.com/s/0box5q1ellhtons/Desktop.zip

Still same why not use mediafire

use mini-partition tool and view your memory card, or temporarily install swapper 2 to check..go to setting and select use swap partition, if it success fully creates swap then your definately sure have a swap partition.
the swap partition is essential for the gingerbean boot run-time script to create a memory buffer...which is actually more effective for memory boost than traditional third party-apps like swapper2 and ram expander (PS: no need to install ram boosting apps on this ROM). also, theres a new feature which is the internal sd or emmc(embeded media card); presently, high end android fly an internal as well as an external sd; thanks too gingerbean, we too can fly our own internal sd, albeit jus a meger (16mb), the applications for apps/scripts that require to reside on system memory is a prospect to view.....annnnd..currently, new linking means has been developed (thanks to a named resident Dev) using root explorer, i believe can still be used increase the size of this partition

tanks, d alternative link works.

Oh dear! See multitasking and speed. Well done bro.

Link to stock tecno N3:
Simply flash system(dont forget to check erase)using AIO flasher;
the full wipe cache and data via 3e recovery;
and your back to good old unrooted tecno N3

can't wait bro

sori, can seem to extract d new file to get d system.img,wots d file format or do i need to rname it?

dammyhy: sori, can seem to extract d new file to get d system.img,wots d file format or do i need to rname it?

extract downloaded file using any zip manager e.g 7zip
flash the "gingerbean_v3.0_final.img" to the "system" of you tecno N3 using AIO

EASY STEPS TO FLASH CUSTOM ROM Especially IF YOU HAVE'NT ROOTED YOUR N3 before (PART 1):
TOOLS NEEDED:
1. TECNO N3 PHONE
2. TECNO N3 USB CABLE
3. USB SD card reader.
4. SOFTWARES: AIO FLASHER (get at Xda-developers.com), MINI-PARTITION TOOL (filecrop.com), Microsoft net framework 4.5 (atleast 4.0)
5. UNIVERSAL ADB DRIVER INSTALLER (get at www.adbdriver.com)
6. BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF HOW TO USE A COMPUTER
7. PATIENT AND COOL HEAD

NOTE: ONLY RISK with this method you'll lose your application game saves, and other STUFF installed on system
on the other hand the advantage of this are listed:
better performance, more free space, new interface, no more shut down and startup annoying sounds (boots like a Berry) just to mention a few.

Now steps to follow:
1. backup your data, i.e. contacts (GO TO CONTACTS MENU, IMPORT/EXPORT, EXPORT TO SD), sms (go to Google play for an application, just search for sms backup) to your memory card
2. power of your android, remove the battery, and SD card.

3. PARTITIONING THE SD CARD:
now, using the card-reader copy all the contents of your memory card to a folder on your desktop, placed where you can easily find it later on
next, install mini-partition tool.
Plug in the card-reader with your SDcard inserted into it
Run mini-partition tool. (see fig 1)
Now, you will should see your system hard disk and your sd card in the main window of mini partition tool, (if you don’t know which is which you can recognise your sdcard by the size, 7.6gig for the standard N3 card)
If you don’t see your sdcard at all, just close mini partition tool, remove the card reader, put it back in, and restart mini partition tool. Repeat the process till it sees it
Now, you can see your sd card; click on the drive icon, then go to the right hand left side of the mini-partition tool window and choose “delete partitions”, it will as you for a confirmation , choose” yes”.
Now your sd card will be displayed as “unallocated”.
Next, select the region shown as “unallocated” or simply click the drive icon it self, move over to the left of the mini-partition tool windows and choose “create partition”
Pro TIP: it is wise that before you begin partitioning your SD card you plan out the way you want to share it. Of course a man plans how to share his wealth before his death, isn’t that so?
Hence, we need three partitions: fat32, ext2, and linuxswap
So lets assume our sdcard is 8gig, we can say
1st PARTITION
The “create Partition” menu will open: (see fig 2)
There are only three thing that concern us here:
Creat As, File System, and Partition Size:
Under “Create as” choose” Primary”
Under “File System” choose “FAT32”
Under “partition size” type the size you want in megabyte or MB, for instance 2gig is 2000, 4gig is 4000 and so on. Use a large size for this partition as this is where we shall copying our sd card data we backed up into.
Click OK
2ND PARTITION (ext2 for data and apps)
Once again, click on the “unallocated” space and click “create partition”
In the partition menu
Under “create as” choose “primary”
Under “File System” choose “ext2”
Under “partition size” type “1024”
Click OK
3rd PARTITION (linuxswap)SEE FIGURE3
Under “create as” choose primary
Under “file system” choose “linuxswap”
Under “partition size” no need to type any thing as the software has done that for you.
Click OK
Now move to the upper left hand of the mini-partition tool and click “apply”
Allow all operation to finish.
Next step if flashing the custom rom:

END OF PART 1:

COMMENT: in this part we have covered how to partition your sd card using mini partition tool. however, no human is above mistake, thats why petrol is sold at N97 in lag and N200 in some area; that being said,any issues you encounter simply refer to the appropriate section in tutorial above.
in the next part we'l consider Flashing the Tecno N3

My bro you've tried but please there are some noobs and newbies on the thread and you explained the whole flashing and what nots of this custom rom on different pages, so please abeg post everything we need to know about the phone the process of, flashing the rom, the change log, how to go back to stock rom pics etc i know say na work i dey give you but abeg just help us
