some apps I had to download and add manually. Minecraft was not compatible. I bought it for my rooted phone, extracted to apk, transferred to the kurio and installed that way. I thought it would be easier for my to just use my dropbox to transfer files. Dropbox also said was not compatible. I downloaded an apk off the internet straight to the kurio and installed it manually as well. Obviously not very safe just downloading and installing, but it worked.

Now, 2 weeks later, since its been off, wrapped and under the tree since I rooted, I'm getting an update message. I tried installing the update but it doesnt seem to go through. Like it downloads but doesnt want to install for some reason.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MadMikeSS:
To be honest, I think their servers are being overrun. Must have been a popular buy for christmas. Just keep going back and retrying the download/install. As far as compatibility... I installed Amazon Appstore, 1Mobile Market and Google Play and it's funny that I can get all the angry birds games free from 1mobile but through google play it's not compatible and I cant get it off amazon appstore either. The Kurio store blows too. It wouldn't even download anything. And even right now, even though 1Mobile works best for some apps for me, it takes several retries to get apps to download. Probably in a few weeks it'll be easier to get stuff as the mass of Kurios are done getting their updates/apps.

Windows 8 problem

Just stumbled uppon this post and I cant wait to free my 3 year old from kurio store so I downloaded the files and connected the kurio to my PC running Windows 8... and nothing happens.. the kurio is not intalled... and my computer does not find any new devices

I have the USB Debug option activated on the kurio but still nothing and there is no "I have drivers" option in device installation in win 8 for some dumba** reason...

anyone know if there is a driver installer or something? have googled it but there is no mention of this anywhere..

the device in question is

Kurio 7

android 4.0.3

Baseband 1.2

Kernel: 3.0.8+ root@chomp-desktop #5

Play store app incompatibilities

Hi raskall,

Thanks for posting the the link. I now have the play store successfully installed on my kurio.

However, I am a bit disappionted to see that the first two games I wanted to install, Chasing Yello and Jetpack Joyride are "incompatible with this device". So it's great I finally have access to the play store, but now I'm wondering about the extent of these incompatibilities. Especially when the two apps mentioned here work fine on an ageing Desire.

I was just wondering what your experience with installing apps via the play store has been like. I.e. can you generally install the apps that you'd have no problem with on other phones / tablets.

Bob
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raskall:
I have not had a lot of problems with this. A couple of games have given me this but this might be caused by different things. The app might not work at the screen resolution of the Kurio. It may lack some hardware, for instance gps is missing on the Kurio. So apps wich use gps will be incompatible. It may also be apps that requires Android 4.1 and the Kurio is on 4.0.

As far as I can remember I have encountered this just once. I don't remember which app.

For Chasing Yello it seems you can download and install the apk directly here: http://androidjinn.com/apk/chasing-yello-android-game-direct-download.html

Try it and see if it works. I couldn't find anything seeming legit for jetpack joyride. But you can google yourself.

Sadly there's some apps that doesn't work on the Kurio but we do not miss much. The only game my daughter misses is Talking Ginger. We can't get that to work even though it installs just fine. Weird, really, because Talking Tom, Talking Gina and Talking Pierre works just fine.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bobfleming:

Updated file (clean)

Hi all,

After installing this on a tablet, I found out that the script does not clean behind itself properly and it can interfere with the DRM video playing.

THis version allows to properly install Google play without leaving any trace of rooting. It also allows to reverse the process if this was generating unexpected behaviors.

You can find the file here: filefactory.com/file/734z9pdmn4gf/Install_google_play_allwinner.rar (copy paste in your browser)

Should work on most Allwinner based tablets including this one.

I didn't do it myself so apply it at your own risks (but it worked Ok on mine). Just make sure that the tablet is properly rebooted after Android upgrade. If after the first reboot you have a black screen for a while, just wait a while.

Cheers.

To add to the others having issues with some apps on Google Play showing as not compatible. I have tried to install any of the angry birds games from Play but they show as not compatible. However I can install all of them from the 1Mobile store.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] distortion:
That is going to happen. Your best option for is 1mobile or side load it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] iehtn-xdadeveloper:
I think we need a modified build.prop file in order to show more applications in Google Play. I tried modifying mine using a previously modified build.prop from from an Ainol Novo7 Advanced running ICS and it did not go well. When the tablet booted it said something like "Unfortunately launcher has stopped working." and I was not able to get into Android to launch program or anything. Luckily I was able to restore the file using "Android Debug Bridge (adb)".

Hopefully, someone has experience with this. I, like others, need angry birds and other such programs for my nephew.

I will try my daughters kurio on a Windows 7 machine today just to check whether it is the tablet or Windows 8 that is the problem if the tablet is screwed up I'm calling support... The port in the tablet seems extremely loose and sloppy when plugging in the cable and I can move the connector around a fair amount more than I am used to with brand new equipment... Anyone else have this?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raskall:
That's your problem, I guess. You have to press really hard to plug in the cable in the Kurio. It's not sloppy when plugged in correctly, it is very, very firm.

I've been working with computers for 22 years and it has been a hobby since my first computer, a VIC 20 (1981 i think). I've seen it all.

Permission Issue when running .bat file

Hi,

I had an issue after running the .bat file, but not until after the reboot.

Before that, everything seemed to be running fine, "superuser" and all other apps were pushed to the device.

I chose "restore my device" on my tablet, and it rebooted.

The script on the screen showed:

"Waiting for device to show up again...

Going to copy files to their place...

mount: permission denied <are you root?>

mv: can't create '/system/app/GoogleFeedback.apk': Permission denied

2055 KB/s (1085140 bytes in 0.515s)

/system/bin/sh: su: not found

/system/bin/sh: su: not found

reboot: Operation not permitted

You can close this window now!

After reboot all is done! Have fun!"

Any ideas on why this may be happening? I tried this three times, and had the same problem each time. It's been a farely frustrating process overall, seems like many people had no issues whatsoever with this, but it's been difficult for me. On a side note, I downloaded and installed the Googleplay.apk file via torrent and installed it from my PC using File Manager. The file seemed to install the app fine, but when I press on Google Play it says "loading" and then immediately shuts. I thought this may be contributing to the problem, so I deleted the app and tried to run the .bat file again... still had the same problem...

Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone may have.

To assist in troubleshooting: USB Debugging was enabled, and USB storage was also on. I left the device encryption field blank when i clicked "restore my data" as others indicated to do (my device is not encrypted to my knowledge...).

Interface vs. Regular Update

Hi there,

I downloaded what is referred to as the Kurios Interface update just today. Interface in this situation means the Kurios own software ability to work well in android environment.

The Kurio "update" infact helped out, but still are we nowhere near to compare this tablet with either Nexus or iPad. That would not even be fair.

The tablet might be a bit "snappier" if you ran apps direct from android frontpage, and left Kurio out ?
