Also, I want to also say the success of Gingerbean Aurora couldnt have seen the limelight with out the sacrifice on the part of our able team of devs,beta testers; the likes of,encouraging' Yehmy,dogged' blakstar, emme, wale-santos, and the list goes on, they know themselves.
who selflessly volunteered their tecno n3's for the mindless experimenting of pre-releases. To them, we are grateful
lastly, but most importantly, we appreciate you, who have been loyal to the "gingerbean" project right frm the begining, showed us support and afforded us a little of your "no-time", we express our gratitude to them (aka my oga's)...e.g HOLLASDY, and BRAINREX, three "gbosa" to all of una.

and to the fans....what do I say, keep browsing, keep researching (especially xda-developers site), keep modding, theres still lots of mods this Android can take, you just have to believe that you can.

to all; I know Aurora is far from perfect, but hope you can open your heart to love "her", cos she's giving you all shes got, her everthing, totally

xanders:
mehn..i feel ur pain...

Truth is your internal memory issue is solvable (big-ups to dev-eleghe (phenomenal scripter), blakstar the fearless, and co)
just post the current status, of ur phone as below:
rooted?:yes/no
custom rom?:yes/no
ext2 partition on sdcard?: yes/no
have a desktop/laptop?: yes/no



Also, I want to also say the success of Gingerbean Aurora couldnt have seen the limelight with out the sacrifice on the part of our able team of devs,beta testers; the likes of,encouraging' Yehmy,dogged' blakstar, emme, wale-santos, and the list goes on, they know themselves.
who selflessly volunteered their tecno n3's for the mindless experimenting of pre-releases. To them, we are grateful
lastly, but most importantly, we appreciate you, who have been loyal to the "gingerbean" project right frm the begining, showed us support and afforded us a little of your "no-time", we express our gratitude to them (aka my oga's)...e.g HOLLASDY, and BRAINREX, three "gbosa" to all of una.

and to the fans....what do I say, keep browsing, keep researching (especially xda-developers site), keep modding, theres still lots of mods this Android can take, you just have to believe that you can.

to all; I know Aurora is far from perfect, but hope you can open your heart to love "her", cos she's giving you all shes got, her everthing, totally

GINGER-BEAN AURORA!
k....so i said 9th June in the last post, but things worked better than I had envisaged.
here you have it, Ginger-bean Aurora.

A few brief comments from Ginger-bean Architect, xanderz:
[b]Over a month ago, when I first started the Ginger-bean project, I had a vision of what I believed should be the custom rom
for our Tecno android, Ginger-bean RPM, a good rom, adding pre-shell root allowing for full modifications by the user, for the first time Tecno N3 users could experience what it really means to be a "superuser";
Albeit, this fell far short of my expectations, because I could see this machine could do more. hence, the need for other releases, gingerbean_v1.0, gingerbean_v3.0 (full init.d support), and gingerbean_final (Actual 4.0 cosmetics). the aim wasnt yet met, target not yet achieved, which was to bring to the tecno N3 the three main essential features of a Clockworkmod recovery enabled device; such as init.d support, mount ext2 partition, easy disaster recovery (system restoring and backup) which are the reasons why xda-developer koush made the recovery in the first place.
Now, I present the Aurora, which isnt everything I have in mind, however, I can gladly say it comes closest.
Hope you enjoy AURORA.
