I just ordered the Z101 (not delivered yet, so I don't know yet which ROM will be installed).
However, there seems to be no ROM update for this model on the official website. Is the "Z102 20110930 ROM" likely to work (the specs between the Z101 and Z102 are quite similar, except the embedded GPS for the Z102) or should I use another Cortex A9 ROM, such as the C91?
Well the C91 has a capacitive screen, and the Z101 & Z102 have multi touch resistive, so you probably shouldn't use the C91 ROM (plus there's a bunch of different hardware inside the tablets). I would thing the Z102's would be most compatible with the Z101, but i wouldn't advise using a ROM that wasn't specifically made for your tablet. I'd probably wait till you get the tablet, and then see if there is ROM download for it. If there isn't, I'd email atp_uestc and ask when one would become available.....
Thanks a lot for this excellent advice, omarahum. I will definitely follow your idea.
BTW, I've ordered both the C91 (for me ;-) and the Z101 (for a gift), so I should be able to compare the installed ROMs, and search for the differences in the corresponding filesystems. Just waiting for my devices that should be somewhere between China and France...
Actually, I believe all the ZT-280's use the same android system image/tar file. Just everything else is different for each model (spl, boot, kernel etc.)...
So you are getting a C91 also, nice. I wonder if you will be getting the updated capactive screen (5 or 10 point multi-touch) versus the old one (what I have, only 2 point multi touch). I am not even sure that they are selling the newer version yet, atp only said they were going to be updated without a change in the price for the C91....
That sounds very similar to the tablet i just bought, i am a very very noob to tablets but mine said Cortex A9, but a app i run says Arm7 800mzh
"10.2" Zenithink Z102 ZT-280 R10 Android 2.3 Cortex A9 512M GPS 4G Tablet PC PA27"
Hi
you have the Z102 model it should be on the ARM7V which makes it a CORTEX A9 and it gives you a chip capable of 800MHZ to 1700MHZ which is the same chip in the iphone3 and ipad 1 models whats your firmware in settings about Device as there supposed to be still running 2.2
Ok thx motherofbattles, do you know where i can get a clean Rom for this Z102
As i am a really noob, and didnt have a sd-card on had to make a backup first
so i have installed a heap of crap, and now just found out that the Reset button is a soft not hard reset
Thx omarahum, i have downloaded and tried Z102, 20111018 Froyo ROM
It is slightly different from what i had, it is working but i think what i had was newer
Hi
Jazz
i think you have the same firmware as me 20111018 just looks a little different more to do with your homescreen,as they are 3 different one's,just i plain old prolauncher screen then 2 customised
ones,they should be moving up to 2.3 OS, i was told it was going to be Friday last week but not on Zenithink website as yet
There were a couple of Apps that came with mine, which is different from what Zenithink have for the Z102 (20111018)
Also the Kernal i had was 2.6.34 root@android#1961, and now its 2.6.34 root@android#1955
Little diff's here and there, wish i had of backed it up first
Hi
Jazz tell me with these new kernels can you turn wifi off and on with the switch on top of tablet?
also can you turn gps off and on in security in settings
i have the very 1st kernel on mine and gps starts automatic when using co-pilot and can only turn off when tablet turns off
and on wifi its into settings and wifi to turn off and on instead of switch on top of tablet
what apps have you got missing??????????????
Ooops, maybe I was wrong. Not only did they remove the ROM, but they removed the Z101 from the products page too! Does that mean they are no longer making and supporting the Z101?
Ok motherofallbattles i just checked and the switch on top does Not turn Wifi on or off
Also unticking Use GPS under Settings, Location & Security does Not turn off gps,
Copilot, iGO and Sygic all get signal
I had my Tablet for one day before i installed so much crap it wasnt running right, its been 2 weeks now
and the Rom for Zenithink didnt have everything i had, and i am really not sure what is missing
Ok Jaz what i do is i download there very latest updated firmware for the other tablets they sell which is the C71 at moment and open up there apks in the app folders and see if they have anything new which i don't have on my tablets,if they have i just copy that apk to my sd-card and put them on my tablets
