[V3.1-Released] Abtekk's Custom ROM [New features!]

[abtekk]

Abtekk's C-ROM​

Please note - This is only for the V1 of the ZT-180 tablet for now!

I could do with someone who can create custom kernels, PM me.

What will be different with this ROM?
The aim of this ROM is to have everything useless removed and stability increased. I plan on having great performance.

What base are you using?
I am using the latest 0603 ROM as a base.

Don't expect much to have changed between the stock ROM and V1...
V1.5 and V2 will have greater improvements over the stock ROM.

Hi Abtekk -

I figured I could install this on my tablet, but I'm missing something obvious. In the zip/rar there is a system.tar.bz file but no .img files.

(a) Do u know if will work on the tablet (my version is same as G1 ZT180)
(b) what do I need to do?

Thanks much,

Forget that! I figured it out myself - apologies but it's first time I flashed this tablet and it's flashing as we speak....!

Is there any guide describing how to flash this rom for a NOOOB?

Is this similar to flashing with cyanogen?

Excellent Work - this ROM unbricked my zt180.
It seems that zenithink have taken down all links to any rom files.
I need the 1024x576 zimage files but can't locate them any idea where they can be downloaded?? - its not a real issue just loose a bit of the bottom of the screen.
Other issue WIFI won't connect to encrypted access points???. Is fine with unsecured AP, seems just to loop when trying to connect to wep encrypted AP, Any ideas??.

Keep up the good work.
