Hi Guys,
I have been running 4.1.2 stock and it's been fine with my samsung physical keyboard dock:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Key...sung+galaxy+note+10.1+keyboard#productDetails
However, I've really needed to get multiple user profiles on the device. I've tried a few roms such as cyagonenmod (10.1 and 10.2) and Illusion 4.2.2 to get Android 4.2.2, but every time I plug the tablet into the dock, it freezes up and restarts. Am I installing the wrong rom? Or am I missing a kernel or something? If needed, I would willing to unroot and go back to stock to get the keyboard working again, but I really wanted multiple users on the device
I've searched everywhere, but I couldn't find any sort of solution (on xda and google).
Thanks!

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,

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.

Hey Guys,
Just found this link. Maybe you can try it out and tell me if it works for you.

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.
Hi Newby here!
Samsung Galaxy 7 GT-P1000
I somehow stumbled my through rooting my stock tab using odin. failed to install a few Roms for Jellybean, but eventually manager to get AOKP build 38 (android 4.04) running. Like an idiot though, the Gapps file was a newer one intended for Jellybean Rom. It went on, however I now get the 'Unfortunately, Andoid Keyboard has stopped' message. I have looked around and tried the force stop and clear cache, but sadly no fix.
what do I do now? can I just install a more recent ROM over the top?
can i install a rom thats not AOKP now I have AOKP on there?
I basically want Jellybean on my tab rather than ICS.
Can you provide me a link to the Rom and relevant Gapps Jellybean, and is it the just the same process as the initial ones I put on?
OR, can I just put an older version of Gapps on and it will resolve my issue. (I want jellybean but can live with ICS if working properly)?
Sorry for the volume of questions... I am just at a loss of what to do as I dont know what I can and cant do.
For the record I dont have Nandroid or bootstrap on here. they were not mentioned in the tutorial and I had already cleared everything off my tab so wasnt worried about losing anything on it.
Thanks in advance for any enlightenment...
As I sit here now I managed to resolve both issues. I just managed to locate and flash the correct Gapps. reset/wipe, del cache, delete dalvik cache, run akop and run replaced Gapps and hey presto.. ICS running smoothly on my GT7 P1000. Runs snapseed, chrome browser just fine. All my social apps are far better in pics than gingerbread. Loving it. Many hours lost on the steep learning curve.
One question remains.. can I flash a from on here by a different mod? Cost I have seen jellybean for the P1000. Don't know whether to quit while I'm ahead, or now I'm getting the gist, mod to paranoid androids jellybean.
So I made a foolish mistake, tried to install the GS4 keyboard on my i535 while it was running 4.1.2 and I didn't backup anything before hand
Currently rooted and unlocked boot loader
Running JZO54K.I535VRBMB1
4.1.2
I tried to install the tested note 2 Keyboard (tried both), but still just get a stopped working message when I enable the Samsung Keyboard, I can use Swype with no problem. Is there anything I can do to fix the issue without clearing everything and starting over?
Thanks in advance

Hey all, we can remove this thread. I just re-flashed the system. Now I know, make sure you always backup your phone before you mess around with it.
Hi, . . . I'm a Noob to Rooting, get that out of the way.
I just bought a used ASUS TF101A with KB dock off EBay to replace mine that suffered a premature death in a flood. I was running (poorly) the last version of ICS, 4.03 If I recall. This one was advertised as "Excellent" and it is very clean but stinking of cigarette smoke, except that the jerk EBay seller failed to mention that was Rooted and running KatKiss 4.4.4 which I hate, the desktop is essentially blank, there are like 6 apps in the library and no Google Play access.
While I do want to install a "Factory Image" of KitKat 4.4.4 as if it was a OTA install, I want to get this awful KatKiss off, even it it means going back to a restored last version of ICS so I can even use this TF101, which it is completely useless in this state with katKiss.
Not being familiar at all with Rooting and Flashing, can someone please help and direct me on how to:
1 - Remove KatKiss and restore it to at least a full Factory install of ICS with all the original apps, Play access ... well like it wold have been.
2 - OR preferably, install a "street" Factory Image of normal KitKat 4.4.4 - Is that possible at all?
Thanks so so so much and remember you're deal with a Noob.

1. If you un-install KatKiss it will be a huge mistake. There is no better rom for the tf101 than it except for the 5.1.0 version. If you follow the direction word for word from the OP it can't be beat. Tim is also one of the nicest and most helpful devs that I know.
2. No, it's not possible.
There is no "Factory Image" of KitKat 4.4.4. the latest ASUS update was Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS), Android 4.0.3.
My opinion is that the KatKiss ROM KitKat 4.4.4 is the best you can install on your TF-101:

A clean install will most likely fix any concerns you may have on this ROM.
If you really want to downgrade to ICS, the easiest way will be to use Easy Flasher:

You will need to install the APX Drivers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514942
TF101 will need to be put into APX mode:
With the device off, hold down the volume up key and the power button at the same time for ~10-15 seconds. It will look like nothing happened but when you connect the cable from your TF101 to computer USB port the APX drivers will get recognized.
You really need to do some reading on the XDA forums before attempting to install anything on your TF101.
Hi guys,
I bought a cheap tablet, It worked fine until i got an update to lollipop, it slowed the device down horribly and it can't multitask at all anymore. Even opening a new tab in google chrome is terrible laggy and slow.
I managed to get the tablet rooted with kingroot, the programs that came with it to clean and speed up the device work great, but the tablet still not works optimal.
When i tried to install the old rom from the asus website in recovery it sayd it cant find the root destination folder or something like that. And rom manager says there is a more recent version of cwm but when i want to install it it says my tablet is not supported. So how can i go back to the kitkat version of the rom? Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help!
up
anyone?
no one?
