Hi all!
I was trying many things and changing every thing to make my tablet KYROS MID 7022 better. Some thinkgs worked but many not. I formated my tablet about 9 - 10 times
But I got some good tips to share if you. So I'm posting it now!
Note: All those tips are working on my COBY KYROS MID 7022, so if you want to try on your tablet, feel free.
1 - Prerequisites.
Fix Titanium Backup.
With my tablet, Titanium Backup isn't working properly, it doesn't show apps installed.
It happens because Titanium Backup tries to use his Busybox, instead of system Busybox. Well, don't know why Titanium Backup's Busybox won't work, but you can install a Busybox (I recommend Stephen (Stericson) Busybox) from market and check "Force System BusyBox" on Titanium Backup preferences.
It should work now!
Disable marked update.
The new market block many apps to install on our tablet. I hate that message "Your device isn't compatible with this application".
You can use Titanium Backup to remove the system application "Market Updater 1.0" to prevent the old market to be upgraded.
If you have already a new market, try to install an old market (if you didn't found one, post here and I will upload mine).
Install more apps on market.
Even the old market has a device verification. Because of this, some apps doesn't show on market. You can bypass this by changing your device's build.prop.
Use a root tool like ES File Explorer to remount the folder "/system" as read-write (you can also do this with a root prompt by typing:
"mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system"). Then change the line "ro.product.device=MID7022" to "ro.product.device=GT-i9020", save the file and reboot your device. Now market will think that you have a GALAXY S II.
I recommend you to use GT-i9000 or GT-i9020, I use those all time.
You can also change you DPI to 160 (thank's nba1341), just open you build.prop (like said before) and change the line ro.sf.lcd_density=200 to ro.sf.lcd_density=160. Remember, you need to mount /system as read-write and must reboot your device after saving the new build.prop.
Improve your battery usage.
If you look on your battery usage stats, you can see the "Cell standby" as the top user of battery. But wait! why do we need a Cell standby since our tablet hasn't a CDMA, 3G or a SIM card? So lets cut it off!
Open Titanium Backup, search for "Dialer 2.3.7" or "Phone" (the apk name is Phone.apk), and remove it! You will got a error message, but don't worry, just reboot your tablet and feel a better battery life now.
You can also use ClockworkMod to wipe battery stats usage and check if Cell standby isn't drawing battery.
