Im sure its been asked before.. but how come it wont play? Do i need a new flash update? Says it doesnt support my phone or some crap
I'm thinking the best place to ask that question would be in the ROM thread.
I'm using MikFroyo 4.4 and it was working fine. The initial fix was to the FlashPlayer.apk. There has been a recent update to FlashPlayer on the market, if you downloaded that update, that would probably cause it to not work anymore. Try uninstalling the update (if its even installed).
it was actually working just fine with the flash in 4.4 but they have since put out 1-2 new updates to Flash since then, and it broke my Hulu also. Uninstalling the updates made it work again!
Hulu blocks mobile devices. People have been getting around this by tricking the site into thinking it's a windows device by hex editing the .so file. I haven't been able to locate the most recent edited version of Flash but the previous version has been posted on XDA.
I just flashed MikFroyo today and the Hulu works on mine.... I havent updated the Flash that I know of..

Easiest way to watch Hulu is to use the app that Mik included with the rom. After you choose video you want to view, make sure you click the hourglass when the window appears.
If you are trying to use your browser to use hulu.com, you need to change your browser settings to NOT view as a mobile website, and it should work fine as well!
Also, I am pretty sure if you update Flash from the Market you will lose the hulu mod.
Hope this helps!
Is anyone having problem downloading flash player from market? Ive tried and it says device incompatible.

They have stopped flash on mobile phones I think who ever had flash player installed before adobe made the announcement that they are discontinuing flash player are still able to use it because now they are focusing on.HTML5.

That doesn't sound right. I know they stopped, but I think that just meant they aren't developing for future versions of Android. They still support the existing version of flash and even still provide updates to security.
I will uninstall and try to reinstall to see if I have a problem as well.

It should still work. They aren't discontinuing the flash player. They just stopped development on it... which means it reached a point where it's stable.
They ARE moving toward HTML5, but they aren't just tossing the towel at flash. It'll be around, even in ICS. They said they would still work on compatibility and support, but they just won't be developing new features for it.
If it says it isn't compatible, then that is a market issue I would assume. Try clearing your market cache from Settings>Applications.
If you've having that particular error, you need to uninstall any version of flash that you have currently installed (even if it is preloaded). Then, reboot your phone, and try the market again and it should work.
Oh I don't know because this is not the only person that's having the same issues that's why I seen alot of people tell me that they are having issues with flash player. I haven't had a problem with my flash player yet mine still works n very stable.

It is a protected app. That means if your rom fingerprint has not been approved by Google (i.e., official rom by carrier or manufacturer that is a member of the Open Handset Alliance) you cannot download it from the Android Market (will show as not compatible with your device). This is an issue with many apps if in the Dev Console on the Market they have checked the "Protected App" box. Change the rom description and fingerprint in the build.prop to the ones in the build.prop of the latest official rom for your device. If a G2X change these two lines and then you can download flash and install it.
Code:
ro.build.description=lge_star-user 2.3.3 GRI40 41fdc8a2 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=lge/lge_lge_star/p999:2.3.3/GRI40/lgp999-V21e.41fdc8a2:user/release-keys
Flash 11.1
I've downloaded Flash version 11.1.102.59 and it shows up in my Application information. But every time I've needed flash it says I need to download Flash and when I try it states the same as the OP "Device not Compatible" I haven't figured out how to fix the problem either. Any help will be greatly appreciated I assure you. Thanks,

If you're having this problem then you need to remove the preloaded flash player. The file for the preloaded Flash is /system/app/LibFlashPlayer.apk ... you can remove it manually or use titanium backup or similar to remove it. Then reboot and you should be able to install flash from the market.
EDIT:... somehow I feel like I'm repeating myself.
Searched before asking, came up empty.
I tried upgrading to various ICS roms from on the forum. Every single one give me the same problems with market/play: Server error. I can not connect to the market. I never had a problem with honeycomb, and I've tried various roms and different versions of gapps. Also my cellphone (Huawei U8800) connects fine. I'm downloading the NVflash stock version now to try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524302
Any ideas on what may be the problem or what I can try to fix it?
The only possible thing I can think of is that because I'm in China it doesn't like the ICS versions of market/play, but that doesn't really make much sense.
Update: The NVFlash stock non-rooted version didn't work. Tried downloading and manually updating to the latest Google play, still got server error. Downgraded back to Honeycomb, didn't work. I ended up having to use a “Chinese Market" whose name I shouldn't mention. At least I can get adobe flash and the rest of the basics. Thanks Google. Even better was the "Chinese Market" updated Google play.

I had the same problem, full wipe, installed different ROMs didn't help.
If you have a VPN to US for once, the problem will resolve, after that the Market/Play will work even outside of US. The problem is on Google side.
It looks like Coby Germany has released an ICS update for the 7022 | 1125 | 1126 | 8127 Kyros tablets from Coby.
Video:
Apparently I can't post links yet, being new here so here is the youtube code (just do a google search for the following, it should be the first video link) :
rBWeo_rEdcU
Coby Germany Link:
Again, I can't post links so just go to the main cobygermany site, it should be on the front page.
Let me preface this post by stating that I'm a bit of an android newb, so take everything I say here for what that's worth.
The update requires a serial number for the device, mine did not work so I tried the serial number trick (stepping up from the one shown in the above video. The original in the video is 101110010351 if any one is interested.) It wouldn't install until I completed a factory reset in Android 2.3. but ICS is now installed on my Mid1126.
Ok, now for the nitty gritty, HDMI is not working, and WIF is a bit flakey. Also, I can't get the Market to install using this ( youtube s2oXEhqCgcU ) method at least. Also, none of the standard Google apps seem to work, Gmail, Google +, etc. Using any of these I get an error message "Unfortunately, Google Services Framework has stopped"
Anyways, I just thought I'd share this with you all. Looks like Coby has a way to go yet before this version is actually ready for prime time (at least on my mid1126).
Is there a way to revert the device to the stock GB?
i have the same Q.
but there is one more problem, a bigger one. after installing ICS onto Kyros MID1125 I lost the possibility for 3g, for whom I have the hardware for. so how could i fix that, any possibility's for a downgrade via flashing with ODIN?
EDIT: to be more specific there is no option for APN or any kind of mobile network settings, just WiFi .

I install on MPMAN 827. It work very good.
I can give you files for this, I flash with CWM recovery.
I rooted and install Google Play.
Still waiting for an update...
Looks like Coby is dragging it's ass on the promised update... ready next week three weeks ago... Yet I still maintain hope. The current ICS is useable, but just barely.
The Coby German site says -
Tablets with Android 2.3 are now updated with the yet ready patches already included. If you updated your tablet earlier with an update file not containing the patches, you can downgrade to Android 2.3 and update to Android 4.0.3 again. Please contact our support for a description of the procedure. Alternatively the patches will be generally available in a few days.

This is a really confusing block of text... does this mean that 2.3 fixes somehow magically carry over into an ICS upgrade!!?? Would downgrading to 2.3 again and then upgrading to ICS fix everything..??!!
2.3
I reinstall 2.3 again
I don't like ICS, on my tablet is working good
Rooted and with Google Play is Ok.
I waiting the update from Coby Germany.....

So you flashed ICS update fom a zip via recovery, or did you follow the installation process from Coby Germany ?
And to go back to 2.3 have you just restored your nandroid backup or is it an other process ?
Thanks for your help.
EDIT @pixelpump : I can't find update page on coby's website anymore, where did you see this message ?
EDIT2 : no probs anymore, update page came back

ICS Update (v1.1.0025) works fine
I have updated my sons MID7022 like it descripted on the german coby website.
The new Android 4.0.3 version (v1.1.0025) works really fine.
After updating the tablet I rooted it to install the gapps. Now my son is happy to use the play store, gmail etc.
Exclamation on Reboot
Does anyone know how to overcome the problem of the update stalling on reboot with the exclamation mark? I had read that it might be because of low disk space on the download but I did a factory reset and came up with the same problem...
How did you achieve this?
I googled a lot, but didn't find a good "how-to" or I was unable to download the necessary CWM. Do I really need to root to install gapps?
Thanks for your help!

Helpful for me was these thread at Android Tablets. Maybe you can use these description, the long way.
I'm using CWRM4, with version 5 it will not good work as you can read her.
Without root you can't install the gapps. Try these description.
Thank you very much, I'll try that.

And? Have you succes?
Unfortunately no.
CWM wouldn't work, although I have some experience with Android rooting (HTC Sensation). So I decided to return the tablet.
This was my second and last try on a cheapo tablet (first one was a Odys Vision, whos build qualitity was poor, would be a really long list ). I'm going to wait for the Google Nexus or perhaps the Windows 8 Tablets (as replacement for my Laptop).
But again thanks for your effort!
Do basically I've side loaded flash and I've installed many different versions of flash but it still won't work
The web browsers I've use haven't recognised that I have flash on the device
I've used firefox, flashfox, lightening broswer,maxathon, and xscope
Also boat browser always crashes as soon as I open it so I haven't been able to try it on that
So has anyone else got adobe flash working on the Nexus 5 and if so, how?
Or does flash not work on android 4.4 at the moment?

Flash isn't supposed to run on android anymore, and soon on every computer os, as it will be abandoned.
Using latest available apk in Adobe archives flash was running on stock browser at least, but perhaps Google decided finally to end the game.
If confirmed it will probably need a dirty dev hack to run again. I don't care about flash, but many many sites don't use html5 yet and need flash (Mega for example).
UC WEB
You may try UC WEB browser on Google play. Definately it supports flash in 4.3 version. And I have no idea if it will work on 4.4 as well.
