the rom no get inbuilt browser

james17: the rom no get inbuilt browser

Use Nandroid Manager to restore the inbuilt browser, if you still need it.

The potential that ROM customization holds for android devices are many; over-clocking, increased memory, custom recoveries, better battery management just to mention a few of them.

Memory boost feature: using Swap partition
This feature allows for memory boost of the TECNO N3, allowing for internal memory optimization, great multi-tasking, and heavy gaming (i.e. running really large 3d-games)

NOTE: Enabling this fixes the USB mounting issue!!!

Memory boost and fix for USB mount issue:
users have complained that they have been having troubles mounting in USB mode after installing the Gingerbean RPM
solution to this is in four (4) simple steps:
First install, "Super SU" from Google play, get super su here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu&hl=en
partition SD: how to partition? go herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning
configure Link2SD, under setting check Auto-link, startup on boot, etc
configure swapper 2, enabling safe mount and safe removal
reboot phone

DONNOT USE THE PRE-INSTALLED SWAPPER FOR ROOT..ITS A BUG!!!


Gingerbean v1.0 out soon

brainrex rumdump is a wonderful file but you require ODIN (and pro flashing skills i guess) to successfully flash it in to your device.
however, reading the tutorial posted in this thread, and following it by word, you have a 90% chance of unbricking your Tecno N3

xanders: 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 CWRM mode, then click "start backup" (note : have atlest 512MB on your SD card). the backup should take about 20 mins

Hi xanders. Doing a great job. A lil prob here: i downloaded and installed online nan bkup, updated d scripts and even got nandroid manager. But b4 starting bkup, i couldn't find d CWRM mode only clockworkmod (which i don't av) and TRWP (or sometin). Anyway after installing a particular mk.....img file (dat was missing), i went ahead wit d backup but it stopd 3 secs in, telling me dat a particular directory didn't exist. What do u say? Do i need clockworkmod or wat? Pls reply.

run adb installer this should fix the missing ADB driver issue

please note all: as i stated earlier, DONNOT PROCEED WITHOUT HAVING DONE A NANDROID BACK UP, YOU CAN BRICKKK (notice capitalization)YOUR PHONE O!!

PROCESS FOR NANDROID BACKUP CREATION
1. Create a folder in your Sdcard called "clockworkmod" using small letters as shown here (if you dont have one already)
2. DOWNLOAD ONLINE NANDROID BACKUP MAKER. get here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.onnandbup&hl=en
3. RUN ONLINE NANDROID BACKUP MAKER ON YOUR PHONE,
4. update scripts
5. select CWRM or CWM mode or Clockworkmod (depends on your version)
6. start backup
it should take about 20 mins or less

tonbari: dn wat me gon do i cnt root ma phne so i cnt do d bakup.... plz XANDERS advice... am just waitin 4 u 2 gimme d go ahead.

In as-much as, or regardless that, or even though or, shaa the Gingerbean installation it self has minimal risk, as AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS WORD FOR WORD....you'll be ok...even if ...you dont root. Howeverrrr, you cannot create a NANDROID BACKUP WITHOUT ROOTING, although theres a way (except for advanced users);
Buttom line, my advice to you...
Young Man, be a good citizen and root your phone, do that backup, and all will be ok

Thanks bro have been able 2 solve d issue of adb but d AIO is nt responding but will use ADB command am going 2 do it 2nite will giv u d feedback on whatsapp bro tanks

pls dis last screenshot is it 4 tecno? cuz am only seeing 1 open sim active.

Here's d result of my bkup. I seem 2 av a problem wit properly bking up my system and cache:
/system/bin/onandroid: line 1433:PWD=/mnt/sdcard4nandroid: not found
Bking up /boot...
Bking up /recovery...
Bking up /system.../system/bin/onandroid: line 1463: ANDROID_SOCKET_zygote=9: not found
Bking up /data...
Bking up /cache.../system/bin/onandroid: line 1469: /ANDROID_ASSETS=/system/app: not found
Bking up /.android_secure...
Generating md5sum...
Verifying md5sum...
Total time 6min and 40secs.

I did get a 130mb (only?) system.yaffs2.img file and a 14.44kb cache.yaffs2.img file but i want 2 know if d 'not-found' warnings i got while bking up d two ar important. Also i got a 786.92mb .android_secure.vfat.tar file (dat can only be seen when i enable 2 see hidden files wit root explorer), is dat also important? Pls look into my concerns. Size of oder bkups ar:
boot.img-5mb
data.yaffs2.img-186.87mb
nandroid.md5-302bytes
onandroid.log-4.37kb

Good to flash man. now if in the unforeseen future anything goes wrong with your n3 you simply restore the system.yaffs2 and userdata.yaffs2 using AIO.
good work berryman

yehmy: pls dis last screenshot is it 4 tecno? cuz am only seeing 1 open sim active.

lol..its N3 o..its a test mod using an android status bar app. I guess the script for the 3rd party status app is written for single sim androids like s2, s plus, etc. hence, the single network indicator

Tanx 4d pat on d back, bro. Two question/request:
1. Could u pls give a comprehensive guide on hw 2 restore using dis bkup and AIO (or any oder means)?
2. Can i create a flashable zip wit dis bkup using Nandroid Manager? If yes, how to create and flash (dunno if d stock recovery can work)?

I couldn't succeed in creating the backup. The images below show the result of the process. What could be wrong?

No need of third party app when you can customize it yourself
FRom the untouched stock rom, deodex it entirely, pull framwork-rex.apk and edit.
The statusbar can actually be customized likewise the rest of system can be themed only if u zipalign it.
I dont own an n3. Would've love to put a huge custom on the this

Finally am a gingerbean user

but no music player pre-installed buh m enjoying it... encounter little prob wiv link2sd to create mount buh i surely bypass nd find a solution 2 make it work
