I understand that softmac is a software MAC address information and calc_table is a calibration data for the screen. I would say both of them needs to be orignal file you actually had for your device. Probably you can get away with softmac, but calc_table data have decent chance that the data from other hardware will off. I think it is the best to get a file that is calibrated for your own device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] timnaylor:
Actually my kyros calc_table is exactly the same as the one posted here.

Since the softmac is just your mac address in a file, you can probably find this from your router logs or use a different one for the short term. Although, many of us using the same mac does not seem like a fabulous idea...is there a way to figure out what the hardware mac is on these puppies?

Official 2.3 update - Has anyone heard of plans for one?

I see that Coby has a whole slew of tablets on their website that run 2.3. The hardware looks different in that the chipset is samsung, and not telechips. Does that preclude a port of the ROM, with some work, to the 7015?

Has anyone heard of an official release or actually seen it. In the years I have been on this forum, there have been posts from people with "friends" that worked for the hardware companies and their rumors of upgrades or lack thereof were often very accurate.

Anyone with "Friends" at Coby USA care to comment? I am trying to decide if I should try CyanogenMod or wait.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kdb424:
I really want to go buy one of those now... Thanks... jk, cool 2.3's though. I'd love a Cyanogenmod port to it if we can get a way to easily flash roms.

Playing Video

I have seen the response to the question:

1. video playing on cyanogen

no hardware decoding yet. please use rockplayer for armv6+vfp (consume CPU power...)

I have loaded rockplayer for armv6+vfp but video playback does not work well. When I execute rockplayer, it asks Hardware or Software Decoding, I chose Software. I hear the sound, which seems to work fine, but I only get the first frame or two of the video and then the video stops.

Am I missing something with configuring a setting within rockplayer or maybe elsewhere?

Thanks for the help!

Wireless On Coby Kyros

I have everything except wireless working. This is giving me fits despite disabling and re-enabling it says unable to scan and it turns itself off. Any hints here? Thanks

One side note - I copied the softmac file back and set the perms but when I go into settings it says that the MAC address is unavailable.

Sounds like you didnt get your calc_table restored.

Can anyone help me out with this? or point me to an appropriate forum? I can't seem to get my EM71 working. Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zomnut:
There is a small omission in the instructions that you may not have done - after installing Cyanogenmod but before restoring some key files (as in, between steps 4 and 5), reboot your tablet. Step 5 is to be done with Cyanogenmod running, not with Clockworkmod running. As for keeping the tablet awake through this step, push the menu or back button after every other command or so.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jboo:
Can anyone post a screenshot if possible?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wdenker:
Is this worth moving to? The tablet is a little slow and touch screen is very touchy. Will this improve functionality much? I am hoping to get it to work a lot better. I was hoping for a rom to flash similar to flashing a rom to my phone. Does anyone know of a rom for the coby kyros 7015? Any information would be great. If you could pm me with the info that would also be great.

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stoned99:
With the Cyanogenmod in this post you will have more functionality but some don't work: you can't mount sdcard, the graphics are sketchy so you won't be able to watch a video from youtube.... But this version is faster.

I suggest more to use the other procedure of the OP: getting the most out of eclair. See firsf page for link
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yoopyoop:
It appears to me that the /sdcard & /nand situation is messed up no matter which ROM you are running. The sdcard does mount just fine using CyanogenMod, but you can't move any apps to either the sdcard or nand. So both of them can realistically only be used for media. I was able to find a little more room for apps by using Root Explorer and moving some of my apps out of /data/app to /system/app. The /system partition had about 80MB free, which was enough to provide some relief for the lack of apps space. I also removed a few apks in /system/app that I didn't need, freeing up additional space.

I have noticed (running CyanogenMod) that some apps will just fail to install. These appear to be the apps (Angry Birds is a good example) that the developers have set to prefer installation on the sdcard. You can solve this problem by unmounting your sdcard and then installing the app again. It will then successfully install on the internal memory.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BoostdDSM:
I've been doing as much research as I can since I bought this tablet. Yet I can't figure out if there is a Custom ROM that is fully working to date or a custom kernel that allows us to overclock this tablet yet either. It would be really nice to be able to get a Custom ROM with Android 2.2 and a custom kernel that would allow us to overclock to something like 1GHz or 1.2GHz... Can anyone give us an update on exactly where we are with getting a fully functional custom ROM and Kernel on this tablet?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stoned99:
Not at the moment but I know that tipstir is working on something, the only issue is the ram I think
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BoostdDSM:
How about Cyanogenmod 6.1? Does wifi work? Does watching videos work? Does the market work?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mdparent:
I would even be fine with the same 2.1 we have now, just want to be allowed to overclock with SetCPU to make a little improvement over.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stoned99:
Yes market and wifi work but not video payback
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zomnut:
That was the one reason that I had switched back to the stock firmware - I had to choose between the Google Calendar (works in CyanogenMod, not in stock) and Aldiko (installed in stock, failed install in Cyanogen). Now I can have both on CyanogenMod! Usefulness of this tablet continues to improve thanks to XDADevs!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Donmotobike:
First I would like to thank creator of CanogenMod - just a quick question - is there a CynogenMod Rom where we can just run it using clockworkmod?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jeffc83:
I just receive an MD5 mismatch error when trying to install. I have downloaded the files three times from the OP with the same results. Can anyone help?

Fixed the issue....you need to disable verification in clockworkmod. Nice rom! Other than video, this is fully functional!

I have rooted by Kyros and downloaded the Nook app, but I have not been able to download any books to my Nook library. The library books appear on my PC library folder, but nothing downloads to my Kyros. Any suggestions?

I also loaded and installed the flash 10.1 apk for 2.1, but when I go to a flash site I get the message you device does not have 10.1

Any help would be appreciated.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Chsmadden:
Followed the instructions and it works fine. Little laggy, and the WiFi can be dodgy at times, and it refuses to stay asleep, so it's better to keep it turned off when not in use. Replacing ADW.Launcher for Launcher Pro helped on the speed a little.

Still MILES better than the 2.1 system that came on it.

Any thoughts on getting Gingerbread on this thing?

That's not true, calendar does work on the stock rooted-ROM. I was able to locate a working calendarprovider.apk and calendar.apk and added to the gapps-passion zip file before installing after installing and reboot I had working calendar. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zomnut:
And where did you find those working apk's?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jschill31:
Calendar that works

Hello,

For those who have not yet found these. I pulled them from my X5A-G tablet and they seem to work on my Kryos. Push them to /system/app and do a reboot or reset. It may take a while to sync, I just pushed them to my Kryos a few minutes ago and my stuff is slowly showing up. Other than that there has been no other testing.

Cheers

I have a big problem with wireless it takes very long time to connect,

any idea??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dpoindexter:
I believe I googled relentlessly for Passion CalendarProvider.apk...It took several tries, when I get home from work I can upload the files I know that work as jschill31 did :). As he said you have to push them (or in my case I just added them to the gapps zip file). Installing directly will cause the calendar to force close on open.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jschill31:
Hello,

Go ahead and post your files, the ones I posted are actually from a different tablet and the calendar sync seems to be a little slow. I have tweaked it all that I can, maybe the one you have is better? Also, here is the missing file for contacts. Just push this to /system/app and reboot to have your contacts show up, the other file is included in the Passion flash. You can also use Root Explorer to past the files in as long as you press the r/w button and change the permissions to rw-r--r-- (like all the other files in the /system/app folder). I am experimenting with flash lite tonight, if I get anywhere I will post the needed files. I was able to get it working on my X5A-G model but it is a 50/50 chance at best if it works. Even though these tablets are the same inside there are big variations in the quality of build.

Cheers
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jeffc83:
The market doesn't work properly. It cannot find all of the applications and doesn't load more than one page when browsing for more apps. I'm going to try and get a newer version of the market to work on the kyros. I'm hoping to get v2.2.6 up and running very soon. Has anyone else attempted this? I just want to get more things working in cyanogen...I don't know if they are even developing this rom any further due to lots of coding issues. I'm hoping that I am wrong.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JohnSpeer:
Thanks for posting this information.

I was able to sucessfully install these .apks on my rooted Kyros 7015A.

On first try, I was able to enter a calendar event on tablet that successfully showed up on web google calendar. However, I have not been able to get anything to show up on tablet from web google calendar nor have I been able to have any subsequent new events added on tablet calendar show up on web google calendar.

Are there specific settings for the timing of a sync?

Any other thoughts to get this to sync properly?

Will try contacts.apk after sorting this out.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dpoindexter:
Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk

Attached are the 2 files I added to the gapps-passion zip file to enable the Calendar on my MID7015. I added them to the system/app folder before installing. It did take a bit to sync so be patient. I imagine you can push them via adb and they will work too. They will not install using an App Installer. Good luck :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jschill31:
Missing file to fix sync issues (calendar and others)

Hello all,

Here is the missing file that fixes a lot of sync issues as well as the calendar.

You will need to push all 3 to /system/app (2 posted above and contacts if you want them)

. Again some find it easier to use Root Explorer but do not forget to change the permissions to R W - - R - -. My items are syncing almost as quickly as I make changes to either Contacts or Calendar. Since all Google apps are now working I will start on a rom. I will post one as soon as I feel it is 100% working but it will be a stock look and feel based on the 1.6b firmware. I do want to make a few mods to the build.prop to make games like Angry Birds run better. I gota say my tablet flies for $150, it makes my X5A-G look like an old dog.

Cheers
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jeffc83:
I got the market v2.2.6 to work in cyanogen with no problem. I just found the 2.2.6 apk onlinea by googling it. I wasn't near my computer so I used root explorer to rename the existing vending.apk and just copied over the new market over to the /system/app/ location and granted full permissions to the file. After rebooting, I've enjoyed the FULL market experience. I just wish the video issue could be worked out but will do without it for now....the cyanogen build just runs too smooth.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hankm24:
Is there anyway that someone could post there cyanogen folder from there sdcard so i could just install this through clockwork mod
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jeffc83:
If I get a chance I will create one over this weekend but the files needed to pulled from the tablet is specific to each tablet. They are very important files to get your touch screen working properly. Honestly am not sure if it'll work but I will give it a shot if I get a chance this weekend.

I tried it on Coby #2 and no go....I cannot post something that won't work. Follow the instructions exactly and you won't run into any issues.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ByerRA:
First off thanks for all the work and the nice directions as I just got a Kyros over the weekend and after I fought the USB driver issues the directions were perfect with the following exception...

In step #5, restoring some key files I see that we push a file called "build.prop", but no where in the preceding directions is it referenced as to where it comes from (i.e. is it backed up from the tablet or is it downloaded)

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zomnut:
The file is found in step 3 in the COBY7015-fixpack (the link is in the original instruction post in this thread, not in my quote below)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ByerRA:
Dooh, thanks, didn't see that, I guess I was up too late trying to rush the flash :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ByerRA:
Is anyone else having a heck of a time trying to pull down the notification bar?

Since I rooted my tablet and put CyanogenMod on it I've only been able to pull it down once and that was by holding the tablet sideways.

Other than that problem (and the video problem) I love it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zomnut:
Tip for the status bar: in the ADW options you can assign an action to a down swipe on the screen. Just set it to open status bar, and you can down swipe anywhere on the home screen and get the bar open. :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ByerRA:
Thanks, I forgot about that setting, that did the trick :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ByerRA:
Claendar problems...

Ok, I took the following files that jschill31 posted...

Calendar.apk

CalendarProvider.apk

ContactProvider.apk

AccountAndSyncSettings.apk

And pushed them onto my tablet with CyanogenMod.

When I rebooted, all heck broke loose, I got all kinds of messages about things crashing and wanting to force-close (I think gapps was one) to the point that I couldn't do anything as it kept trying to sync and that was crashing and I had to reset the tablet and reflash to get it back to working order.

Any ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brazuka-br:
hello guys! any news about new updates?!?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jschill31:
Hello,

You do not flash this zip, you need to extract them and push using adb or paste using Root Explorer. These files are not needed for CyanogenMod, only 2.1 versions of Android. If you are running 2.2 all you need to do is "FLASH" the correct version of Gapps. Sorry if my post is confusing but you only need these files if you want to add Contacts and Calendar sync to the factory firmware. To fix what you have done, just flash the HDPI version of Gaps for CM6 found here: http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip in Clockwork Recovery. Again I am sorry if my post was confusing.

Cheers
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ByerRA:
Ahh, that explains it.

I ended flashing back to stock Cyanogen with the HDPI version of google apps and while my contacts do sync I still have a problem with the calendar not syncing.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] WhiteWhiskers:
Updated my Coby 7015A this weekend, all went well. Yes, the Wi-Fi won't connect unless it's disabled and then reenabled. Another person wrote later in this thread to do a factory reset which blows out the user partition? But that was a step performed before restore so not sure if the reset would help. For now I'll just live with the way the Wi-Fi connects. Once it does connect it stays on.

Many apps will fail during install with a failure 18 code. Aldiko book reader wouldn't install. The solution is to unmount the SD card during install and then remount afterwards. Angry Birds installed and runs ok. Graphics are still messed up and the video performance was laggy.

The Google Market included with the listed zip file had lots of problems so that was replaced with version 2.2.6.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jschill31:
Hello,

You probably just need to add the following files from my zip:

AccountAndSyncSettings.apk

Calendar.apk (if you do not already have it installed)

CalendarProvider.apk

Make sure you change the permissions.

cheers
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] WhiteWhiskers:
In the functionality matrix, USB Mount External and Internal is listed as not working under CyanogenMod. This is not the case and should say yes, I can mount both the SDCard and the internal storage area via USB under Windows 7.

Screen Rotaion?

I can't seem to get the screen to rotate on my 7015A, I've tried clearing caches, re pulling the files, wipre/restore, enableing/disabling in settings (and in cyan settings).

Youtube, Angrybirds, Volume Control

Love the Cyanogenmod on my Kmart Coby Kyros 7015 "kPad".

Has anyone figured out how to get youtube videos to play?

OR, has anyone figured out how to get Angry Birds to play w/o the white blocks in the menu graphics?

Things I would also be curious on seeing more info about after the above mentioned is an overclock kernel and a fix to the volume control (using a widget now).

I really do like the Cyanogenmod and thanks to everyone for all the hard work.

After I rooted my wife's nook color, I went to Kmart and got this Kyros because she wanted her nook back.... by the way.... she loves the rooted nook color with Eclaire and all the bells and whistles.

Thanks again :)

You could try BUT HAVE A BACKUP HANDY and know how to enter ClockworkMod recovery, try the GPU fix found at androidtablets. The system here isn't allowing me to post links so do a Google search for the string "Coby MID7015 GPU Fix Beta Test"

I applied this fix to stock Coby 7015A firmware, rooted with the Google Apps. It works great. Angry Birds and the new Angry Birds Rio play perfectly, all the graphics are there. Even the Android Market is behaving better.

I've stopped using CyanogenMod. My device developed serious SD card problems, couldn't mount the card, the card would fail to mount on bootup, the device would say the card was damaged, needed to be formatted. Even after formatting the card would still have trouble mounting. Also some apps just won't install if they don't see an SD card or if the SD card is unreachable during install. The problems just seemed to get greater by the day.

Now that I'm back to the stock firmware everything has settled down. Love the Angry Birds Rio!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nycbjr:
I have of course tried that, I'm not complete noob (15 years SysAdmin, 5 LinuxSA).

Since no one else has seen this perhaps its me in following the instructions, or where I'm pulling the files from. Maybe I haven;t been getting them from a "stock enough" rom. I thought I grabbed them from a stock backup in clockwork, but maybe I got it out of the watery rom. Any relation you guys think?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] azpatterson:
Thanks for the info. I was thinking about giving it a shot before but wanted to see if there was anybody that may have already tried it. I'll give it a go and let everyone know if it works... My chance to give back a little to the hits and misses of a project like this. Hope it works. If not, Watery Kyros will be my next Rom.:rolleyes:

Update: Tried and no go. Coby screen comes up then goes to black. Restored Cyanogen.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] WhiteWhiskers:
I'm really sorry it didn't work and thank you for trying this out. I really liked the screen appearance of CyanogenMod, looked so much better than the stock firmware. Also was nice to be running Froyo, especially a newer version of Gmail. I even figured out how to make Wi-Fi connect all the time, the solution was to turn off ethernet. Once I did that Wi-Fi connected all the time immediately after boot.

But the Sd-Card problem just seemed to get worse so I flashed back to stock firmware. The graphics fix really makes the device totally useable now. Even found a nice replacement for the gallery app, which is just horrible. QuickPic is so much better and runs on Eclair also.
