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.

How to use the swap script
To get the ePad to generate a swap file on the SD card, root the device and install "Terminal Emulator" from the market and run the following commands: (Press enter after each line)

su
sh /system/swap.sh

Then back out of Terminal and wait for the system to restart.

Great news!

I hope you can add some Android standard features which has been removed on ZT's ROM's, such as voice synthesis.

Probably if I can find someone to test it for me as I don't have the V2.

[laziod]

Excellent, keep up the good work.

[abtekk]

V1 and V1.5 have been released now. V1 was just a test, V1.5 is the fastest, you should use it.

EDIT: I have uploaded V2.0, it includes a youtube fix and other various improvements, I recommend using it over V1.5.

EDIT: V2.5 is now live and I have attempted to increase battery life.

And with what kernel your firmware? At 0603 the battery life has decreased dramatically. I used the kernel from the beta (there was a couple of days, then disappeared) + system.img of 0603. The battery worked for + 1.5-2 hours long.
Can you provide the kernel and boot files later.
P.S. Forgive me for bad English.

My firmware includes the 0603 firmware for the x600 screen, I provided a link to download the other kernels.

[numbazZ]

please disable calibrator autorun in new update...

[abtekk]

I will do if I can find out where it autoruns from.

[Martin149]

It would be nice that when you hold one of the buttons on top, it can be used for volume control. Cause it is anoying in video playback to change the volume.

Good request, if I can do it I will, I would also find this useful.

No problem, I hope you enjoy using my ROM.

[atp_uestc]

good work, try and taste!

[HAL9000]

On my request of standard Android apps (better said "standard Android features") removed on ZT's ROM's would be voice synthesis, as said above, and the option to change the default ring and notifications sounds on the sound settings, for example.
