CFW for MID7024 based on Alldro2 Gingerbread

[Kilimanyaru]

Hola, hoy por fin me decidí a actualizar a 2.3 mi Coby Kyros 7024 con tu ROM! funciona perfecta!

Probé un adaptador de bluetooth externo y lo reconoce al instante, pude transferir datos desde mi celular hasta la tableta y viceversa.
Luego probé dos ratones y los reconoció sin ningún problema.
También me reconoció un pendrive de 1GB, otro de 2GB y uno de 4GB, sin problema, todos me salían en el Udisk.
Un teclado también probé y anda de lujo.
Por último conecte la tableta a mi televisor HD por el puerto HDMI y perfecto.

Hi. Today finally i decided to flash my Coby Kyros 7024 with your ROM! it worked perfect!

I tested a bluetooth adapter and it works fine, i connect the tablet to my PC and to my cellphone.
I tested two different mouses and both works.
I tested a keyboard and no problem. It works.
I tested connecting to a HDTV via HDMI and it works.
I tested a 1 GB, 2 GB and 4 Gb flash drives and all appears in the udisk folder. Excellent!

By the way d4v1dz a did it with a 8 GB SD card, no problem at all.

Thank you very much steev!! Really thanks!! Muchas Gracias!!

Ok thanks, So it is my tablet thats broken for no reason at all, I used to used my sd card all the time, I just took it out to use with my phone, now I try it and it doesnt detect anything. Cant wait till Steev makes it be able to do a internal boot. Also any suggestions why my sdcard slot just randomly stopped working?

d4v1dz, here is the uscript.sh for installation from internal sd.

I removed the code that changes the partition table and the code that formats the sdcard partition.
Sadly this means you won't get 1.5GB for apps storage.

I spent all night trying to get the installer to unmount the sdcard so I could safely increase the data partition size, but I just couldn't get it to work. There's a process keeping the sdcard open and I can't kill it without killing the installer.

Just curious if you have tried more than one sdcard. Maybe your 8gb card is going bad or needs to be reformated.

Yes I tried to different different SD cards

Thanks so much for this, how do I still it from the internal SD? Do I need to be rooted? Please provide me with some details on how to do that because I never installed it from internally before And thanks so much for spending the time to do this for me.

It's basically the same, except you copy the files to your internal sd instead of the external one:

Connect your Kyros to your computer via USB and enable USB storage mode (Menu>Notifications>Copy files to USB)

unzip CFW-alldro2-0.2_stvn.zip to your Kyros

Download and unzip internal_sd_installer.zip from my previous post to your Kyros (replacing the original utscript.sh)

Eject your Kyros and turn it off

Boot your Kyros while holding the HOME button

You don't have to be rooted to do it, the x024's have an unlocked bootloader

THIS WORKS PERFECTLY! ITS THE MOST AMAZING THING EVER. My whole tablet is faster and smoother. Everything looks so nice. Thank you so much

A question for the experts, before I try it: if I replace the internal SD for a faster one (I remember someone said he used a class 10) will the unit perform noticeably faster, or are there other hardware limitations?

The Froyo firmware has problems with randomly shutting down in sleep mode.
I have not experienced it with any Gingerbread firmware though

sorry, my coby is currently bricked . . . but you mean 'ad hoc tethering' ? . the factory promised it would work in their latest creation . . . but never trust raymandfeng urbetter . . . who has done this lately ?
.
oh, i read that an un-locked mifi may be a good way to go. fwiw . . .
