Disclaimer: I take no responsibility if this file bricks your ZT-282, breaks your toaster, makes you pregnant, or kills your neighbors.

Download and extract the folder zt-update to the root of the sd card
Turn off the tablet and insert sd card
Turn the tablet on by pressing the camera button and the power button at the same time
Follow the on screen instructions, it may ask to press the camera button to update the spl
On first boot, select the 2nd option and it will start the initial setup

Bugs
=====================================================================================
On first install and boot it will ask what task you want to perform. Choose the 2nd option. (This is a bug with the factory rom. I'm still trying to pinpoint what's causing this.)
Because the 3g data and phone services are disabled, opening settings and choosing sound will cause settings to crash. (To change the notification sound: Set hw.nophone to false in build.prop, reboot, change the notification sound, set hw.nophone back to true and reboot)
If anything else shows up, please let me know!

Yep although it was just the camera not working. I've got it sorted though, there were lines missing from the hardware file.

You could also add the MOVE_HOME line to the keyboard file to fix the home button in 180 dpi mode.

And if you haven't already you could also add the spelling check files!

This is a nice rom though, I do seem to drop wifi often which wasn't present in other roms

Thanks JustinTheGeek for this ROM, it's silky smooth for me even with a golauncher theme running.

I found "LCD Density Modder" and changed it there to 180 dpi, finally got rid of those pesky icons at the base of the screen! Can you achieve this without the use of an app?

You can change that in the build.prop file. Look for ro.sf.lcd_density=

I'm trying to keep the screen density the same and remove the bars. It's giving me a lot of problems because I think Zenithink did a lot of changing to the os.


Next goal: Build a tz-282 rom from android source or cyanogenmod source.
I wouldn't expect an update anytime soon.

Are you talking about cyanogenmod port on this tablet ?
Would be great to have CM9 on it. This tablet is a good piece of hardware, given the price. It just deserves a better rom.

As Zenithink did not release any source it may be hard work... Especially if some specific device drivers are involved.

I really hope you'll make it

anyone else having problems connecting to wifi after update? if i go to settings and try to connect to my home network it freezes after entering my password and i have to do a pinhole reset. does anyone know of a fix for this? i've tried justin's rom to no avail. also, i get an E: error when trying to flash, but the update process continues all the way to first boot.
