I appreciate your help, Fido -- but we don't seem to be on the same page.

I've searched AppLib (on my PC)...found a file manager. But if I don't have an app installer (on my tablet) of some kind...or a file manager (on my tablet) of some kind in order to search for apps downloaded through the back door (i.e., using a PC) to my tablet...even if I find an app at AppLib, I still can't look for it on my tablet or install it.

Chicken/egg thing here. How can I install an app or a file manager...if I don't have an app installer (on my tablet) to install it or a file manager (on my tablet) to look for it in the first place?

How do you make the initial installation to begin with without an app installer or file manager...so you can then install other apps?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stoned99:
applib is on the tablet, not your pc. You should see it on the "desktop" of your tablet or in the menu. If you don't have it, update your tablet with the version on Coby website.

How much $$ for someones post root backup file?

Well, I have decided to return my Coby 7015 mostly due to the resistive screen... I have enjoyed the limited use and even bought two mini hdmi cables. One is 3ft and the other is ten ft. But while clearing my stuff for the return, I didn't copy the sd card to my computer. Duhhhhhhhhh

So can someone give me a hand with a zipped nandroid backup pre gapps? Both of the cables will find there way to your mailbox and then some doe for go juice of your choosing!!!

Please don't fill this thread with sad support, there is some great info here and don't want it to get any more watered down...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stoned99:
Here's some good news: Coby has released a new firmware update on their website.

Here's the bad news: It's not Froyo :(

I recommend to everyone not installing it for the moment as it will remove your root, Gapps and clockworkmod recovery. Also we don't know what was improved or not. It doesn't seem that the touchscreen is more responsive.

I wrote an email to Coby to have a list of improvements, I'll write back here when I get the details.

If you still want to update your device here's a guide that l_n from Android tablet wrote:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stoned99:
@Adamtrick. Maybe you should change your tutorial or at least point to the old update.zip instead of the new one as your procedure won't work with the new update.zip

Maybe it could be a good idea to host it somewhere else
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] asctony:
Played with this too long, 5 days. Reset back to factory, tried to install Update and Tablet can't find in an SD Micro Crard that only has the Update Zip. I tried my 16Gb card with pics and songs using Factory system and Music and Galley, it could not find any pics or songs. In fact Tablet searched for over 10 minutes for pics. Finally got angry and turned it off. Taking it back tomorrow. Not worth the frustration and short comings. Will look for another solution/toy.

Factory Reset DOES NOT Clear Out ALL!

FYI: Did a Factory Reset to clear out the Tablet. Well it did not clear out all the data. For example: Documents, photos and apps that I put on it. I was under the assumption that it would clear out everything but what was initially considered OS type stuff.

Word to the wise, be careful and go back in to delete anything that may be personal that you put on this Tablet.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] billquinn1:
The tablet has a partition called "nand" /nand . This is where your stuff that did not get wiped lives. The tablet sees this as external memory, like an sdcard. Just delete whatever is in the /nand directory and factory reset and you'll be clean as a whistle.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] asctony:
That seems to be the problem with the Tablet. It considers NAND as external memory. I did figure that out and that is why I posted. Do you know of any update to upgrade MOD7015 from V2.1 to V2.2? Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zomnut:
Judging solely on the cobyusa webpage and my previous experience with AppsLib, it looks like they may have fixed it so you can register/buy apps on Appslib instead of being limited to the free apps.

Hello. I'm a newbie with the Android stuffs.

I also experienced the issue above with adb. Also got Permission Denied and Operation not permitted. Can anyone help?

Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sternrulez:
Very strange problem

OK, Here's the problem I'm having. I got the 7015 as a trade on Craigslist, and the first thing I wanted to do was root it and get rid of 2.1. I don't know if my getting it secondhand has something to do with it (I don't know how since he did a system reset on it), but I've been having problems doing anything with the tablet since I started the rooting process.

First, I attempted to download a file manager program from the appslib, only to have it force me to install an update. Once I did, I was told that appslib was not compatible with my device (?). I tried installing the update from Coby's site on the SD card, but no matter how many times I try, I cannot get it to the point where my model number says 7015A like they state it should. Moving on...

After a few frustrating hours I was finally able to glean a workaround by going to appslib.getjar.com (before I continue, I was able to download and install the getjar app from a link through the tab's browser, but when I tried downloading something, nothing happened...it would refresh the description page of the app I was attempting to download and that's it...going through the website above was the only way I was able to download the file manager). Once I got the file manager installed, lo and behold there was no way for me to access the 'sd card'...it just wasn't showing up. The only way I was able to install z4root was to email the apk to myself, then use the tablet browser to download the attachment and install. Surprisingly the z4root went off without a hitch...

After installing the sdk stuff on my pc, I went in to modify the driver in the device manager for "android eclair". I used to downloadable .inf file listed to make things what I hoped to be easier...yeah, right....After I double click the winusb.inf file, I get an error message saying "Windows found the driver, but was unable to install it due to the following reason"...underneath that it said something like "requested file not found"...didn't tell me WHAT file, just that it wasn't found. I even went so far as to hunt down a winusbcoinstaller.dll file and placed it in the same directory as the .inf file...no help whatsoever...same error. I'd be happy to screenshoot that error window and post a link if anyone is interested, but at this point I've finally reached a standstill. I can't think of any way to use a workaround for not being able to install the driver, and I obviously can't proceed any further without it. I'm not exactly a stranger to rooting/modding/jailbreaking....I've done a (I'm embarrassed to say) iPhreeze 3G, 3GS, and most recently my beloved Samsung Captivate, and I haven't had nearly the amount of problems nor spent nearly this amount of time(well over 4 hours so far) on a single device like this tablet. I refuse to believe I'm the only one who's had some if not all of these problems, and I'm really hoping someone can help me with this...thanks!

Did you ever use density changer on your recently flashed rom? Because when I did, some apps stayed "changed" even after resetting density and uninstalling density changer, e.g. Doodle jump. Not even reinstalling doodle jump helped. Perhaps this happened with your market? Just a suggestion.

possibly because the aosp is a generic rom meant for a good few devices therefore adapting its size. then these are just suggestion and not guidance, i really have no idea just providing shots in the dark
[XPERIA X10 General] emuneee:
FWVGA is a support resolution for Android (see the Motorola Droid 1/2/Pro/X devices). The resolution is probably not the issue. Gotta be something with the stock ROM.

I got my NC rooted (I think LOL) I went through the root process and everything looks fine but now i'm trying to install some apk's and I cant get it to work. I want to install root explorer so I pulled the apk from my Htc Evo and put it in a folder on my desktop. Then in cmd I type

cd\

cd android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

adb kill-server

adb devices

I get my device listed so then I type (before the cursor it says C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>)

adb install C:\documents and settings\owner\desktop\apks\root explorer 2.12.4.apk"

and I get a message that says "can't find 'explorer 2.12.4.apk' to install

I am stuck I don't know what to do. Please help me!!

I have tried the name root explorer 2.12.4.apk with and without spaces
[Nook Color General] pstein2:
If cmd is like Linux you have to put \ before spaces like root\ explorer\ 2.12.4.apk
[Nook Color General] rob04:
its definitely related to where the apk is located or the file name.

Try putting quotes around the path such as....

adb install "c:\docume...."

If that doesn't work then create a folder on your c:\ called apk then move the file over to that folder and rename the .apk file to something without spaces.

Good luck!
[Nook Color General] Novarider:
So I am at the correct path? What EXACTLY do you type after you open the cmd? Can you just open the cmd and start installing apps or do you have to navigate to android-sdk-windows...

What do I need to type from the time I open cmd?

it seems to me that the tw incoming call screen is objectively better in that it provides more functionality... so, if you don't mind me asking, why are you so eager to switch to the AOSP incoming call screen?

Ok so before I start to tackle this 100%,I want some thoughts on what I have planned. Ive already made a Frankenstein android bot for the notification backdrop 75% transparincy,on black 50% trans.Ive made several launcherPro icons for the dock.I am also going through each ringtone,notification and alarm and amping them up sound wise and putting an N behind each title indicating it should be used as a notification to increase the sound level just like it was an actual ringtone sound level. Im going to try and keep the theme mostly black,but Ive never been a fan of all one shade of color for all the notification icons,so they will be diffrent,and as the name says,I will pull icons from many ROMs to make this one.I was using Super heroes 2.2.4 as a base,but he has started using Mammons Bonzai4all,so I might switch.But I will tweak it the way I want before I post it up...Any more suggestions or if someone wants to help let me know what you can do,this will not go prime time for atleast 2 weeks,I need to make a boot ani,and shutdown ani,I have the sound bite from Young Frankenstein,Gene Wilder," alive,Its alive,ITS ALIVE" ,look it up,sounds awesome for a startup.And Ive included it as a ringtone,alarm,notification,2 versions for each,one normal,one amped up.
