Craig 7 Tablet Drivers

Yes it does help, thanks. Looks like there's some information here about rooting the CMP741E.appears to be rather complex though.

I think 'iPad' is becoming a rather genericized trademark for when referring to tablets. It often happens here. I knew many people, including my father, would say 'iPod' when talking about any MP3 player, whether they were made by Apple or not. Or saying 'Walkman' when talking about personal stereos in general, even Chinese school textbooks do this.

I would always hoover the carpet, even though my vacuum cleaner wasn't actually made by Hoover. The Craig is not actually a Chinese knock off in the true sense of it being an Apple iPad knock-off. It's a legitimate Android tablet sold by reputable US importer. Click to expand.I've had something similar happen with my Ampe A76, which most definitely is a Chinese tablet from Shenzhen. Did a bit more investigating, and found that the tablet's default browser user agent string is 'Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS 3_2 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Mobile/7B334b Safari/531.21.10' It's pretending it's an Apple iPad. Can you find out what the user agent string is for your Craig.

It would be interesting to know if it is pretending to be an Apple iPad. I'm trying to ascertain why Facebook would ask you to download Apple iPad app, rather than the Android FB app. I've had sites doing it as well, asking me if I wanted to install their Apple iPad apps rather than the correct Android apps. I found out that it's tablet's browser that is lying, rather than correctly identifying itself as Android. Want to know if any other devices are doing this. Going to.will tell you what the browser user agent string is. The user agent string is what tells a website what device it is, and how best to deal with it.

If I use my PC, I get. Your IP Address is xxxxxxxxxx Country of origin: China Your Browser User Agent String is Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/22.0.1229.94 Safari/537.4 Which is correct for a Windows 7 PC with the Google Chrome browser. Thought I could contribute to this tread with how I rooted the tablet and installed Play Store, 'cause is stupid easy (at least on my PC.) I used the first link that mikedt posted earlier in the thread. Mere Naseeb Me Remix Song Free Download more. But on that posting the OP dedicated only one paragraph on the installation process, so here is a little more info on the process.

First, there is apparently no ROMs for this device, although I haven't search too much. For a $50 device the Play Store was plenty for me (Netflix, Angry Birds etc.) As for the steps, first the tablet device drivers need to be installed so the computer can see it. Do a search for: ' Drivers_AllwinnerA10_32and64.zip' the first link on google was good enough for me. These are just the drivers, not an installer. So if you have no experience with raw drivers you might want to look up how to install them.

(My computer would only see the tablet if it was connected via USB directly, meaning no USB hub.) Next, find ' Rootthat-ICS' off the internets. After unzipping the RootThat file folder find the 'windowstart' batch file and run it. (I've found that RootThat crashes upon first launch but works after ending it and relaunching.) In the RootThat menu click the 'root device' button.

Simple prompt with only one choice appears, follow it, then wait for the success message in RootThat's output box. Then, click the 'Install Gapps' button, follow the simple prompt again, then wait for the Output box to give the success message (takes a couple seconds longer.) Done.

I've completed this on 5 Craig CMP741e tablets (good deal at wally world) with same results. I'm new to this forum and don't plan on being too active except where I can passively contribute so my engagement on this might not be too in-depth but I hope this works for you.

I haven't found much out there about this RK2918 based tablet but it seems to be pretty decent. But full 'specs' and even the firmware download can be found here. I bought it from CVS Pharmacy for $99.99.

Right out of the box the supplied 9v charger was DOA so I exchanged it. It's fairly snappy with a clock speed of 1008 Mhz (advertised as 1300 Mhz but shows a max of 1008 Mhz in Setcpu). It does come with AOSP ICS 4.03 and runs pretty smooth especially after root and changing the govenor to On Demand instead of Interactive. Battery life is okay but not very good IMO.

The lcd is 800x400 and of not that great quality with low color depth I guess (you can see color breaks on gradients). The touch screen is capacitive touch and is fairly responsive but could use a little more sensitivity. The tablet actually comes semi rooted right out of the box but still need full root. So after much trial and error I have full root and a fully working Google Play Store.

I'd really like to see a custom rom make it's way to this tablet with recovery, root and gapps but I don't think this thing has really landed in capable hands just yet. I'd make a basic rooted with gapps rom if I knew how but I do not lol. Also I have noticed only one app so far that will not work and it's the Netflix app.

It installs, opens and then freezes at the selection screen. I just picked one of these models up but I've never done any rooting of android devices. I've looked around and it looks like there are several steps involved in replacing the OS and such, but you mention that this one is semi rooted out of the box. What ROM did you put on this one?

There is but one app I am interested in (navionicsHD which requires honeycomb or higher), and you can only get it through the google play store. So might you be able to share what you have done to get it to the point of getting the google app staore installed?

Thank ya sir! Okay I am going to assume you are on Windows since that's the only OS I can confirm this works on (I'm on Windows 7). Go ahead and install the Java SDK.

Then extract the Android SDK zip to c: and then run the SDK manger program inside that folder you just unzipped. You need to install 'Android SDK Tools', 'Android SDK-Platform Tools', and 'Google USB Driver Package'. The SDK manager program asks about a lot of packages and what you want to install. You can of course install them all but those 3 will be the basics for getting the adb interface working. After installing everything go to your tablet and find the settings for 'USB debugging' and 'unknown sources' and make sure they are both checked.

Then take this zip from this link and extract them exactly where the directions say included. Then plug in your tablet and if it asks for a driver point it to the 'Google usb driver' folder and let it install. If it doesn't ask then go in to device manager on windows and locate your device in the list. I do not remember what it was called but it shouldn't be to hard to locate. From there right click it and update the driver and point it to the usb google driver folder and it should install. You may or may not have to force install the driver because I don't think it is digitally signed but it is fine. Once you get that far open up a cmd prompt and run these commands while the tablet is attached through usb still.

First type 'adb start-server' and be sure it says it started and then type 'adb devices'. It should list a device with a series of numbers. If it does then you are safe to run rootthat and root the tablet and install the google apps services. Note that when you try to root it will say it's already rooted but it is only half rooted so you will have to click root again to make sure you gain full root.
