I have run this rom quite a while in it is in fact more stable then the stock, in my opinion. I would reccommend doing a fresh install of it, but if you would like to reflash the stock then luckly Steevs got your back, as well as us all even though he doesnt even own one. Here is the stock link
Link removed.
From what I read some people have touchscreen issues when the flash this, which may mean this rom won't work with goodix versions of this tablet. If for some reason your touchscreen doesnt work, you can always refalsh steevs rom which has compatibility with both versions.

ok i have tried the instructions but after i connected my device and finish the wizard installation for the device livesuit is not responding. I am running windows xp and my device is coby kyros mid 7042. please somebody help me, i really want google play for my tablet.
This thread was very helpful and easy
this was my first time rooting a tablet
but was pretty straight forward i have a Coby mid7042-4 worked no problem
Just got it in the mail yesterday and rooted it the same day
i was pretty scared but it worked
i forgot to make a copy of my stock img, but everything is working fine
/One thing that did scare me was when it was done with livesuite it said install successfu
/it turned off screen came on with the battery charging icon then turned off
it left it for 10 mins nothing i gave it another 5 still nothing(said in the post that it would restart in 5-10mins, but it didnt)
press the on button and it stayed on android, held the power to turn it off, then pressed the power button and everything worked
google play youtube video music works
i recommend to turn off googles suggestion or it wont let you type anything in the google search box

would just show a black or lines but could hear the video, just power it off and power it on and fixed it

So, I've tried doing everything according to the instructions.
i pressed Vol key & repeatedly Power key.
no matter how much did i do that, neither the device nor livesuit reacted in any way.
i successfully entered upgrade mode on the device by just holding the vol + power down. livesuit did not react to this at all.
i run win7 64, appropriate livesuit version, compatibility mode.
thoughts?

If u want to get deeper into it you can setup ADB. Then you can follow a thread in this forums instructions and install recovery for your device. From there, you can install an updated Gapps package upon whch google suggestions will work, and plus you can try some of the other roms for your allwinner device. I reccomend CM9.
im sorry but i am really new to this. what drivers do i need? drivers for coby kyros on my win xp? i tried googling coby kyros mid 7042 drivers but i did not find anything. thanks for the help.
