Coby Kyros MID8127

Hi guys,
I just bought a new Coby Kyros MID8127 tablet (A8, Android 2.3) for my friend.
Now, I want to flash a custom ROM with JB on it, but I just did not find any ROM, CWM or tutorial for that here at XDA (or elsewhere).
Is it possible, that there is no custom ROM for that tablet to have?
Thank you in advance.
Greetings,
sYCO
I have the same tablet and I bought a custom ROM from the people at KTZ, however, I could not install this ROM successfully, in order to install it I had to take the tablet to factory reset state and then delete a bunch of system applications to make room for the new ROM because the ROM does not allow you to install it from a formatted system partition (it's more like an upgrade). But when I finally installed the ROM it wuold not boot a second time; what that means is that, after installation the ROM boots normally but if I reboot it gets caught in a loop where I just see a blue disk spinning and it doesn't do anything else and the only way to get it out of that loop is to connect the USB cable and boot to recovery via adb and restore the backup that i did before flashing the new ROM. I tried to get help from the guy who makes these ROMs but he wasn't very helpful. I followed all his instructions and always got the same result.
I managed to install manually most of the components of this ROM through a long process of trial and error and left out the components that make the tablet misbehave and now I have a hybrid on my tablet which works pretty well with the exception of the wifi. The wifi works but at times is painfully slow.
I tried other ROMs from Android Tablet forums (check here). There is an ICS Rom there (or more than one, I don't remember) and also a JB ROM for the 8127 but I could not make them work on my tablet. The ICS ROM installed fine and runs very fast but it keeps freezing so I uninstalled. The Jelly Bean did not install properly and it was very hard to get the tablet to a working state after it bricked.
That was a while ago and I haven't checked lately if there is something else out there.

Sorry, I gave that tablet back and cannot test it anymore. I rather recommend to buy an Ainol Novo 7 Crystal. It is cheaper, better and ****ing fast with a nice custom ROM support like CM 10, CM 10.1, Paranoid 3.0, Crystal-Fuse, ...
Btw, KTZ sucks totally.

[Q] Total newbie on Android, some simple quesitons.

Hi people of XDA-Developers, I have a few questions to ask about Android, I've been an iOS user for around 3-4 years and I was very familiar with jailbreaking, iOS softwares, and almost everything. I knew what to do on exactly every situation but then I got bored of iOS and then I thought of switching into a better OS and I thought Android was good. Now I'm in Android and I don't understand a single thing about it. Compared to Android, iOS is a lot simpler, easier but also boring. You can play around with the Android but I really don't understand much. By miracle I didn't brick my phone after attempting to Root it, I was so lucky that it worked because I didn't know what I was doing . So here are my info and some questions.
Phone:
-Samsung Galaxy S4 (T-Mobile)
-SGH-M919
-Android 4.2.2
Questions:
1- Ok, so I have Android 4.2.2 on SGH-M919 which is on T-Mobile, I bought the phone on the US but then I left to another country (Panama), I want to upgrade from 4.2.2 to 4.3 and I want to know if it is already available because some websites say that it's coming on the 18th of November. I want to know if it is available.
2- If so, why can't I download it? When I do software update it says that: "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available", I already used Triangle away to reset the times flashed and it's already on the "System: Official" (it was on "System: Modified") , I've already erased the cache and even factory reset.
3- I've seen somewhere on Google that you can manually update it (with Odin and/or with an external SD card)
4- Not that I really care THAT much about updating but what I want to do is to flash it to a ROM, in this case, the PACman ROM. But it says PACman 4.3 and I don't know if it is possible to use the 4.3 version on the 4.2.2 Android and I won't risk it so I want to know if there is a way around it. I really want to flash it before moving everything from my iPhone to my Galaxy.
I would really appreciate if you answered these questions, the simplest way possible, please and thank you in advance.

IIt is available from some carriers now via OTA upgrade and more carriers are releasing it currently.

You can run PACman 4.3 on the S4, but going from 4.2.2 to 4.3 you should do a full wipe first to prevent any install issues. 4.3 is just an upgraded version of 4.2.2 and is still in the JellyBean series.You can find the PACman Development thread here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295673

Ohh now I get it, now I updated from 4.2.2 to PAC 4.3.1. I think I understand how this works. The PAC 4.3.1 is just like an update, I thought you had to be on the same version to flash ROMs. Thank you for your response :good:
There's one more question, now that I have PACman, it comes with Trebuchet, I want to know if it's possible to organize the apps in my App Drawer in a custom way, not my name or by the date installed. If yes, how. If no, is there a way around it? If yes, which one. Thank you in advance.

[Q] HTC One Mini 601E problem and bricked after trying to install CyanogenMod

Hello guys
I have an HTC One Mini 601E, and today I've try to install Android Kitkat 4.4.2 via CyanogenMod ( by following the procedure on ibtimes, update-htc-one-mini-android-4-4-2-kitkat-via-cyanogenmod-11-rom-1433685 [sorry it seams I cannot post any link as new member...]) so I rooted the phone, installed SuperSU and installed a recovery mod and everything necessary but after trying to install the zip "Android 4.4.2 KitKat Cyanogenmod 11 ROM" few time and with first ClockworkMod and then also TWRP recovery tools I still get the same error : set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed" (Status 7). (even using recovery base Phil..)
I've try few things to try to solve it lbut still get the same error. So I'm wondering why and how I could resolve this. I'm thinking also that this phone is 601E and not 601S. I mean, this phone come from Taiwan, my girlfriend bought it for me but I'm in Australia actally. I know there is just a little difference about the baseband between these two model (601E and 601S). So I was wondering that maybe I need a different version of the Android 4.4.2 KitKat for my phone that come from Taiwan ? I don't know.. but actually I cannot do anything with my phone, when I turn it on I can see the logo HTC and then it reboot again. I can only access the fastboot menu and the recovery mod.
So my questions are :
- How could I successfully install this Android 4.4.2 KitKat Cyanogenmod 11 ROM on my phone ?
- And if it is just not possible or just not working, how can I come back to the previous Android OS that was installed before (Jelly bean) ?
I think to understand that I need a RUU m4 for my phone, I've found some on the website androidruu.com in the M4 RUU category) but I'm not sure if it is the right RUU file for my phone version.
I hope my phone is not broken and hope also to find some help here also sorry for my english is not perfect I hope it is enough clear
Thank you very much for any help.

I successfully installed another mod but based on Android 4.3, not 4.4 Kitkat.So it's ok
But if somebody know or have an idea about how I could install Android 4.4, I still interesting
Thank you

Can't flash a new rom, CWM says my phone -> is a " "

Phone is an XT926 and i bought it used but with the original firmware (4.1.2) and no signal of odd play with it's rom.
Now when i try to flash custom roms, CWM tells the rom is for certain models but my phone is nothing. (it tells " " -a space between quotation marks- )
The only one i could flash is slimrom, but now i'm trying some others and this strange message appears not letting me flash anything but slimrom.
Is there any way to write some file somewhere to recover whatever signature my phone is missing? Or may this be a CWM bug i got?
Is CWM 6048
Thanks for your time.
So no luck? No one who can tell anything about this, any ideas?
What could have happened? There should be some place where that signature or ID is saved and somehow it got lost.
Just to clarify, when trying to flash a rom via CWM, it checks the file i mark and then it says the file is for certain phones (this included) but tells it can't be flashed because this phone is a " " like if there is some ID string missing somewhere.
I already marked CWM to avoid signature verification, but the same thing keeps happening.
The phone is working like a charm now, i found the app causing problem was Apollo wich i installed from "Cyanogenmod Apps" since it does not come with slimrom.
Now i'm using Aimp with complete success. But, i still would love to test some other roms.
If your phone has never been updated to stock KitKat, it will still have the old Jelly Bean bootloader and can only run ROMs designed for that bootloader. The reverse is also true (if you go to KK, you can't use ROMs designed for the JB bootloader anymore).
I don't know what specific ROM you want to use, so you need to figure that out before you decide what to do. In the long run, it's probably a good idea to update to KK anyway since it is now available for some xt925 phones as well, meaning more devs will migrate to the new bootloader.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3113

Well after a short research I found a ROM called Resurrection Remix, loaded with 5.0.2 (or Lollipop) however now everything is force closing and I barely got my laptop to see it as MTP again after installing a new Binary (glad that did that trick for that) but I cant get it to boot into CWM Recovery bc I cant access the app the only thing it will let me do right now is change the Binary.
How can I fix this issue?
Edit: Okay so I got that solved with doing a factory reset twice, booted in CWM, loaded up the GApps. Now just wondering if there is away to make it not seen with phone options like the dialer or msgs as its jus a plan old tablet, doesnt take a sim card and has no carrier. I do have the source code but I am not tweaking that til I get a better understanding of it.
After a lot of research and tries (amazingly without bricking) I am now running an even newer version of a CM 13 Marshmellow
