Hey guys! I origionaly made this ROM for The Kindle Fire and I decided to port it over to the Coby MID1042. This ROM is based off stock firmware but it has many GUI additions.Lets get into it!!!

DOWNLOAD>>>>
CURRENT BUILD:
V 1.0 11.18.12 download here

OLD BUILDS:
none

STOCK ROM FIRMWARE:
download here

DESCRIPTION>>>>
This ROM is made for people who love customization, It has an advanced theme chooser, battery icon changer, WiFi icon changer, and a soft key style picker. All these options will be in the app I developed called "GUI Settings". More GUI settings are to come in later builds. In addition to all that it has lots of other tweaks including add blocking.

FEATURES>>>>
These are just some of the features of this ROM:
*alien shop: download free themes and mods and apply them directly from the app
*custom theme switcher app made from scratch by me (app is called GUI Settings)
*battery icon changer
*soft key changer
*WiFi icon changer
*custom boot animation (made by hyperrunner)
*gapps are preinstalled
*custom default wallpaper
*add blocking
*root file manager
*some bloat removed
*added zip and zipalign binary (used by my app)
*added updated wget binary
*added cp binary because for some wered reason it did not come with it
*disguised as Galaxy Nexus for more apps to choose from app store
*rooted

HOW TO INSTALL>>>>
You will need CWM recovery. If you do not have CWM recovery then follow this guide and make a backup!
(1)download ROM form computer of directly from tablet and transfer to built in sdcard
(2).reboot into recovery by typing "reboot-recovery" from terminal emulator/adb shell or by holding down the silver button and power button
(3).go into "install zip from sdcard">"choose zip from sdcard">then select the ROM to install. (The install will take a long time)
(4).once it is done then WIPE data and cache then reboot and it should take about 30 sec to a min to boot into ROM.

DISCLAIMER & BUGS>>>>
I am not responsible for a bricked device but I will surely help If something goes wrong. The only bug that I have noticed is that after installing a theme, sometimes the screen acts abnormally by rotating randomly until you reboot.

THANKS>>>>

Okay I had a big long response to this post but lost it somewhere bouncing back and forth. I am trying to root a Coby kyros 1042 to get google apps running on it with no success as yet. I was able to copy the alien android onto the sdcard but I cannot get the install to complete. Holding the power button and the silver button will get me into theandroid system recovery but, if I run the "apply update from external storage (the only option that seems to allow anything) I get this message:
'--install /sdcard...
Finding update package...
opening update package...
verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted."

What have I done wrong? I just need to get google apps to work. (The apps this comes with are a joke.) Can I do that through the stock build you provided?

I get the same error when trying to use the stock build as well. Please help.

But your tablet have any problem???

You mind doing me a favor? Go to play store and install "Add away" then click "disable add blocking" inside the app and tell me if your wifi problems go away. I cant decide if add blocking is the problem or not. If it is, I may have to take out add blocking in my ROM.

Will do, and I will let you know how it goes!
