Forum rules


Before you post, please make sure...

- ...your topic is related to betas or abandonware. If it is not, don't post it here. Better help sites exist else where.
- ...you have first used Google to look for an answer, and you have asked other people you know via other methods (IM, e-mail, etc).
- ...your question has not been asked before. Search the forum first before posting.

If you meet those criteria, go ahead and post your question. Be sure to provide as much information you can about the problem and how to recreate it. Also provide information on hardware and software if applicable.

I have heard users report a lot of bugs in Honeycomb. Ice Cream Sandwich is the best available at the moment of writing.


But will his specs be able to run it smoothly? And I don't think so... Honeycomb has been perfected since the first release right?

My Wildfire begs to differ.


iOS still has many flaws, what are some of the flaws of honeycomb?

It's a bit fiddly tbh, but that's what I saw of VegaComb when I installed it on my dad's Advent Vega.

Well I am currently looking into Honeycomb but my main issue was speed, and I doubt Honeycomb will make it faster, which is why I was looking into a possible Linux distro. Anyways, I might not even install a different version. I might just stick with 2.3 and do some tweaks to speed it up a little

Well it would be more time consuming to tweak it, maybe honeycomb will be a better choice.

Really? Is it really that much better that it would run faster? I do not mind tweaking it if that is the case.

Hello everyone. I have been trying to experiment with my Coby Kyros 7012MID. It has Android 2.3 and is rooted, but I want to see if more is possible. Is it possible to run another OS on this tablet and if so, how? I am pretty eager to try something and see how it turns out because this tablet seems to be very flexible for only $80.


Does the tab have USB ports? If yes, hook up an external DVD drive and get Windows 8 on there!

Wrong. Windows 8 is only available for x86 and x64 platforms. Windows RT will only run on certain Microsoft-approved devices - an $80 Android tablet will not be one of them.
