Now that I've installed the new leaked ROM whenever I plug in my phone I get the following popup, its wicked annoying, can I disable it somehow?
There is a thread on this. It's removing the cdrom.iso.
Found this through a quick search of the thread.

Hi there,
I registered here today hoping you guys could help me out. I bought my daughter a tablet called Kurio. Its Android v. 4.0.3 and I would like to Root it but regular google searches and occational YouTube-videos confuses me rather then helping out.
kurioworld.com .... check out this website to get a closer look on the tablet, and perhaps come up with a solution ?
As the Tablet runs today its not compatible with a lot of games, and im not able to connect the device to Google Play Android App store.
Thx for reading the post, I really hope you can help me out.
Regards

I also got the Kurio for my daughter today and got quite mad when I noticed that Google Apps wasn't there. I guess they havent been approved by google or something. I can't see any other reason why google apps is left out.
I tried the alternative market (1Market) but the first thing I saw when I opened it was a porn app. So I removed it quickly. Then I tried installing Amazon appstore. Worked well but I'm not allowed to buy apps here in Norway. Quite irritating.
Finally i found a way to get apps from Google Play into the Kurio. This requires that you have another rooted android device with gapps:
1. Install Shark App backup & restore on your second android device.
2. Install the apps you need.
3. Back up the apps you want placed on the Kurio with the Shark app
4. Remove SD Card from your phone/tablet/whatever and insert it into the Kurio
5. Enter Android mode on the Kurio, open the File Manager, navigate to /sdcard/AppManagerProMax
6. "click" on the apk's you want to install.
Works like a charm. My daughter will be happy to see minecraft PE on her Kurio in the morning.
I did this on a HTC Sensation with CM10.

Hi there,
Thx for taking the effort to give me a possible solution. Unfortunately I dont access a rooted phone, so there you go
Btw, I`m from Norway to, so I guess we are stuck in the same boat here. I tried amazon myself, but as we discovered ...
As for now, Piratebay is by far the best "shop", most of the files there actually works fine with the Kurio.
Plz dont hesitate to contact me if we could find solutions to this problem.
Actually it might be better to use email ..... we could even speak Norwegian ,
You can reach me at stigolsen(alfakrøll)gmail.com.
I think I will give Kurio a couple of weeks tops, before I put out an Ad at Finn.no. Right now I would much rather own the Nexus 7 to be honest.
Cheers
Google Play without root

Simply contact costumerservice through the website kurioworld.com. I asked for a way to root the Kurio, instead they sent me a zipfile with content needed to get the Google store without rooting.
Came with instructions, and whole thing was done in 5 minutes. No hassle, everything just works flawless. Finally the Kurio seems worth keeping.
The name of the file is : Install_google_play_allwinner.rar
Im not allowed to post the direct link here yet, so ....
Chers, good luck

Ok.. The hacker in me just woke up. He has been dormant for 15+ years.
I got the file from the Kurio guys at the same time as I got your email. And the script worked.
During the script output I noticed that it said "Removing root" or something. That means that the script roots the device, installes Gapps (including Google Play) and then removes root.
The script is a simple .bat file with a bunch of adb commands. I found in clear text how to root the device. When i get the time I will write up an article on how to root the Kurio.
Then I will start figuring out how to get another Recovery installed on the device. From there on, who knows, maybe I will try getting Jelly Bean compiled for the device.
I might also try to retrieve the Kurio interface and see if I can get it to work on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.
I will put the file up for download as soon as I find a hosting service I don't have to pay for. Any recommendations? Sadly it's too big to upload as an attachment here.

Hi again,
Great u got it working ! Suddenly the Kurio is kinda worth keeping right ?
An article about rooting the device would be great, and Jelly Bean would be so cool.
As for uploading the file I have used filefactory(dot)com before, take a look there ..
I suggest we keep future progress in this thread, I do belive a lot of people will find this useful as we make more progress in weeks to come.

I have applied for a developer account on goo.im. If I get approved that will be where the files are put.
And the tablet is definetely worth keeping now. A couple of apps doesn't work, but with root we can probably fix that.

.rar is an archived file. Winrar will extract it for you. Then read the Readme.txt file inside.
took me a minute to get it done, the update driver button wasnt ever pressable and then after i got that done it kept saying something about the path not found, after keeping on clicking different stuff i got it all done. let me know if anyone has figured out a permenant root for this, id like to see some jelly bean on it, it kind of drags a**
Hello
They are having a sale, where i live today and tomorrow. I can get it with 25% off. My kids prefer tablets instead of there Nintendo's. Is it really worth the purchase? Do you know if it can run subway surfers? And last some sites says it has a dual core processor others says single core. Another is doubt about the ram being 1 gb or 512 mb.
Thanks
Hello
I bought two for my 5 year okd kids. The Kurio is going to replace there Nintendo's. I installed the market, using your uploaded files, thank's. It seems like that it only removes the superuser program. And that it leaves the device permanently rooted. I can use both root explore and titanium backup. Most games I installed, runs ok including subway surfer.
Hey guys, can one of you with a rooted tab, maybe release a full backup? I am wanting to try maybe port the launcher over to work on any tablet?..
thanks
Karl
could you please post a download link for that google play file again.... the one you have post now times out
I'm pretty sure I've read this on somewhere here, but I cannot for the life of me find it. I've looked for it since morning, and yet, nothing. Anyone know how to prevent the Android 4.2 update notification from showing up? I was on 4.2.1, flashed back to 4.1.2, and plan on sticking to it.
you didnt look hard enough, i typed this into the search bar "4.2 update" and it lead me straight to the answer i posted it another post...
download fotakill.. push it to system/app. install it, then reboot
oh yeah i just tried a different set of search terms. found it, thanks.
mods, please delete the thread if you're reading this.
on goodness jb rom there is a goodness update section that allows you to download all sorts of cool stuff. after i download something...like a widget or whatever...how do install it ? do i use twrp install or is there some other method?
how do you unistall it or change it back? for example a bootscreen animation...if i dont like it, can i change it back to what it was before or something different?
also, on goodness jb - is there a way to make the notification drop down window have a full background rather than be 80% opacity ?
also, in exchange server, i have everything setup correctly for my work email. but when i goto my email it says its loading...but it stays like that with the circle loading icon and nothing ever loads up. Had our IT guy check the settings and they are right, but the phone wont connect
any help with these is greatly appreciated
any help with this?

I've never flashed the goodness ROM. If I have time tonight I'll d/l and load it up to see what I need to do. I'll post my findings tomorrow sometime.
Hello, I apologize in advance for my writing, but I am French, I do my best not to make too many mistakes
So my problem appeared for the first time today when I wanted to change ROM, I was under ParanoidAndroid, I wanted to go under UKG (UltimatumKang), I wanted to start on something clean, so j 'I utlise Nexus Root Toolkit to do a clean install and replace the stock version before UKG. Once installed UKG, could not get my applications that automatically download normally, they are all on the waiting list, the first is in progress, but it does not move, it's like an infinite loop. When I stop the recovery and I'm trying to download only one application, it works.
Strangely it also do it for the updates, I can not update multiple applications at once, but only one by one.
I'm annoyed because I do not really want to download my apps one by one.
So, someone have an idea ?
EDIT : Now, I've the same problem on stock version of Jelly Bean.
I had this happen once a year or so ago. What had happened was, as I understand it, the Play Store only allows a certain amount of auto-downloads at a certain time. I flashed a ROM, it restored, flashed a different ROM, all downloads stopped. I don't think anybody knows exactly how many, but lets say 50 for example.. After downloading the 50 apps you are allowed to download within the allotted time, you are cut off. The Play Store will allow you to download apps again in 24 hours, you will have to wait it out.
The last time I've use the restoration was two weeks ago, but I'll wait to see.
Thanks a lot for your help ! I appreciate a lot
EDIT : It seems that it's Google Talk/Hangouts who complicate the thing. I'll see it tomorrow.
