Thanks fir the help mate any idea what card i need as theres so many would like a 32 gig one fpr this should i just getna smaller one first.
It really depends on what you are going to use it for...

I've been using my modified files for a 2GB data partition, so my internal space is only 4.75GB big.... I use my sdcard more for music, videos, gps maps, and data for certain games, so I use a 32GB card.... Most people say smaller sized sdcards are better for flashing the tablets, but I haven't had any problems using my 32GB SanDisk sdcards for flashing the tablet and having my data on it....

Might be good to get one of each if possible....

Are you trying to charge via the USB port or via the power port? Again, I haven't tried Zenithink's jellybean ROMs, but on the ICS ROM I am using (for the H6_1f - [ROM] Zenithink's Official 20120911 ICS ROM - SlateDroid.com)and Christian Troy's CM10.1 (JellyBean 4.2.2 - [rom] CyanogenMod 10.1 for C97 / C93 (update 2013-04-12) - SlateDroid.com), the tablet seems to charge better via the power port for me here in the US, and usually when the tablet is off or the screen is off, charging via the usb port sometimes doesn't seem to work, or it gets stuck at 93% charge and won't go to 100%...

Interesting, for me it takes longer via the usb port (and I usually don't get a full charge)..... But I mostly use my tablets while it's connected to a power source, and only use it on battery power for short periods (only a couple of hours)...

Congrats! So you flashed the whole ROM, or just formatted the internal storage area?

adobe reader - Like acrobat, it's to view PDF files.... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.adobe.reader
app installer - You need this system app to install new apps on your tablet....
go keyboard - Just a different type of keyboard you can switch to if you prefer it's layout and functions... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jb.gokeyboard
es file explorer - Just a file explorer program like windows explorer.... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop
pro office suit - To view MS Office type documents - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobisystems.editor.office_with_reg
slatedroid app - Just an app to take you to the SlateDroid forum, it's an android forum like this one, I am (maybe soon to be - was) a moderator there... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.totalmadownage.slatedroid
superuser - Is an app to have your tablet rooted, so you can make changes to the files on the tablet, like on the system and data partitions... Zenithink ROMs are usually pre-rooted, but on their JellyBean ROMs, it's not properly rooted... - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su

Anti-virus is up to you, I haven't used it on my Android tablets yet.... I don't download or install any apps that could be malicious, and don't really browse websites I don't know on it, or download files that I am unsure of... Really depends what you are going to use your tablet for.... If I may ask, what are you using your tablet for (in general)?

I don't think you need any drivers for Mass Storage mode.... Maybe try just unplugging and re-plugging the usb cable....

Strange... It should work, but again I haven't tried Zenithink's JellyBean ROMs, I am using my modified version of Zenithink's ICS ROM.... Are you sure you are using the correct usb port on the tablet? The one between the headphone port and the HDMI out port? Maybe some setting on the tablet isn't checked? When the tablet senses a connection to the computer and you go into usb mass storage mode, the internal storage gets unmounted so the computer can read it... I wonder if that's causing your "vanished" memory, or maybe it's just getting corrupted...

Have you tried my ICS ROM? Does that have the same problem on your tablet? C93_ICS_0911_omarahum_modified_Zenithink_ROM_updatedNov9th2012.zip and C93.system.patch.zt280.tar.bz.tar (delete the C93. from beginning of the system patch file and add it to the zt-update folder, has the G-sensor fix for games like Temple Run)...

Edit: Maybe I was wrong, sorry.... (I haven't had to install anything for almost 3 years...) When your computer asks for the driver see if the android_winusb.inf file in the usb_driver folder works http://www.mediafire.com/file/dl50yh3k9asltgd/ADB16R_and_USB_Driver.rar
