CUSTOM JELLY BEAN ROM AND CWM RECOVERY FOR TECNO N7


* This cwm recovery was built from source therefore it is not a ported version

* It gives no single error

* There is no single bug in it

* Very smooth and fast in operations

* I have flashed an update.zip rom with it

* It installs on your Tecno N7 permanently  

Before i proceed, let me give the newbies a background info of what recovery is all about in respct to the android OS

WHAT IS A RECOVERY MODE
A recovery mode is a special "second boot" mode, independent of the normal boot, that you can start into that allows you to troubleshoot or update your device.

Recovery mode lets you re-flash an entirely new operating system, clear out problematic cache partitions, and can "factory reset" your device, clearing out non-system data. The recovery can also let you back up and restore your Android installation. As if that wasn't enough, the recovery mode often will allow you to access your device from your computer via adb.

The recovery mode uses an interface that may require you to use the volume keys or other buttons to choose options. More modern versions, however, have touch-screen interfaces that allow you to simply select what you want with your finger.

Although you can manually interact with the recovery mode, you can also have the system restart into recovery mode and automatically install updates from an app that supports your recovery such as Goo Manager or Rom Manager (and some versions of CyanogenMod have auto-update feature found in the Settings as well.)

Stock recovery mode
This is the recovery mode that comes with your new device. It is also known as the default recovery mode, it is how ever very limited in terms of functionality. You cannot perform advance functions or hacks with the stock recovery, that is why hackers strives very hard to replace this very recovery with a custom/modified recovery.

custom recovery mode (cmw)
ClockworkMod, abbreviated as CWM, is a popular custom recovery for Android phones and tablets developed by Koushik Dutta (Koush) – a well-known name in the Android development community. ClockworkMod recovery allows you to perform several advanced recovery, restoration, installation and maintenance operations on your Android device that aren’t possible with the stock recovery, and is one of the most common ways used to gain root access, back up device data, install custom ROMs, kernels, themes & mods, and more.

recovery image (recovery.img)
This is an image file on the android device that enables it to boot into recovery mode. This is the image we flash to our device when we want cwm recovery, so I am going to be referring to it as recovery.img for the rest of this write up.

Installing ClockworkMod recovery
MTK devices have no ready made cwm recoveries, unlike the likes of samsung, htc and other popular android devices.But it is possible to port existing recovery images for mtk android devices Tecno N7 inclusive.

There are 2 methods of installing/flashing cwm recovery on the N7
1. sp flash tool (PC) no root needed

2. Mobile uncle (NO PC) root needed.

Flashing procedure for Mobile uncle
Go to playstore and download Mobileuncle MTK Tools.

Download the CWMR recovery image for N7 and rename it to recovery.img, put it on your SD card root (not inside a folder).
DOWNLOAD IT HERE

Run MobileUncle MTK Tools.

Note: It will ask for root permissions. You must grant it.

Select "Recovery Update" in the menu.

Flash the CWMR image that you've placed on your SD card.

wait for the process to complete and Reboot into recovery mode when asked to do so by mobile uncle tool.

After booting into recovery and you didn't see cwm recovery on your device, repeat the process again and do it correctly this time around.

FACTS ABOUT EGGS

"Experts" want us to think eating eggs is a surefire path to clogged arteries, high blood pressure and massive heart attacks.
But alternative health advisors tell us the opposite – that eggs actually prevent coronary disease and improve our health in many other areas.

EGG MYTHS

Myth 1: If the shell of a fresh egg is smooth and un-cracked, it’s safe to eat raw.

Nope! Even the most perfect-looking fresh egg can harbor Salmonella germs inside. The Food and Drug Administration confirms this. However, choosing eggs with no cracks is always a good idea. Once eggs are cracked, new bacteria from the environment can enter them.

Myth 2: If I wash eggs before use, they’ll be safe.

That’s another myth. The reason it doesn’t work is that Salmonella bacteria, if present, are usually inside the egg. The microbes come from the reproductive tract of the hen and are passed to the inside of the egg before it hits the nest. Find out more about how Salmonella gets into eggs.

Myth 3: You can pasteurize fresh eggs at home in the microwave.

Sorry! Making raw or undercooked eggs safe from Salmonella isn’t a do-it-yourself job. Safest Choice™ uses a patented process based on extensive scientific development and precision controls. The US Department of Agriculture explains it this way: “The equipment to pasteurize eggs isn't available for home use, and it is not possible to pasteurize shell eggs at home without cooking the contents of the egg.”

Myth 4: Organic eggs and brown eggs are safe from Salmonella.

Organic means no hormones are fed to the hens, and brown eggs just relate to the breed of hen. But the bottom line is that neither of these factors changes the Salmonella risk. In fact, in 2009, there was a large recall of organic brown eggs for Salmonella!
By the way, in case you’re curious, no hormones or antibiotics are fed to hens that lay Safest Choice™ eggs, either!

Myth 5: Eggs from a local farm are safer than those from the grocery store.

Well, keep in mind that eggs in the grocery stores come from farms, too; you just don’t see the farm! The truth is that eggs in any farm environment come from chickens, and chickens harbor Salmonella bacteria. Even from trustworthy local farmers you know personally, the hazard is real. You will be safer choosing a fresh egg that has undergone all-natural pasteurization.

Myth 6: OK, but cage free eggs must be safe from Salmonella, right?

Unfortunately, wrong. Remember that Salmonella bacteria are “natural,” just like farms. Dangerous bacteria exist on all farms. Rodents, feed, flies, water, dust, and other birds can deliver Salmonella to even free range hens on the farm. Because of the Salmonella risk, all types of eggs are included in the FDA Egg Safety Rule. (If you prefer cage free eggs, you'll be happy to know that Safest Choice™ Cage Free Eggs are now available.)

Myth 7: Generally, eggs that can make you sick will smell or taste “off”.

You’re probably thinking of spoilage bacteria, which are different from germs that cause foodborne illness. The truth is that Salmonella bacteria are imperceptible in an egg. You can’t see, smell, or taste them. The only way to protect yourself is to assume that any egg could be contaminated with Salmonella—unless it’s pasteurized, of course.

Myth 8: Salmonella is only in the yolks of raw eggs. If you eat the raw egg whites, you’re OK.

Yolks are a common point of contamination, but not the only one. Says the US Department of Agriculture, “Researchers say that, if present, the Salmonella is usually in the yolk or ‘yellow’. However, they can't rule out the bacteria being in egg whites. So everyone is advised against eating raw or undercooked egg yolks and whites or products containing raw or undercooked eggs.”

Myth 9: Egg pasteurization is a form of radiation.

No. Actually, pasteurization uses one of nature’s most simple solutions for food safety—heat.

Myth 10: Egg pasteurization destroys nutrients.

Our all-natural water bath pasteurization process does NOT change the nutritional value of an ordinary egg. Take a look at the Safest Choice™ egg nutrition facts and learn more about egg nutrition.

CONCLUSION

Here is the truth about eggs:

Eggs help with brain development and memory
Choline, an essential nutrient found in eggs, stimulates brain development and function.

Eggs protect our eyesight
Two antioxidants, Lutein and Zeaxanthin, are present in eggs and have been linked to protecting eyes from damage related to UV exposure.

Eggs promote healthy hair and nails
Many people find their hair growing faster after adding eggs to their diet, especially if they were previously deficient in foods containing sulphur or B12.
