(This is NOT a tutorial, it's more like a note to myself so that I can recall information later as I need it. For full tutorial, please visit the link at the bottom of this blog)
My issues with this tablet Velocity Cruz were:
1) No "Market" to search or install new apps, "Cruz Market" sucks doesn't have any update
2) Too many junks apps pre-installed
3) Unpredictable touch-screen respond, sometimes it keep pulling down the notification regardless
4) Sometimes it's frozen and not respond unless battery is removed
5) It's too heavy
Well while a machine can't exercise and lose some weight, its performance certainly can be improved by some modifications.
First step: install AndroidSDK platform to the computer PC
Second: check tablet's setting make sure "Debug mode" has been checked
Third: copy apk files to "platform-tools" folder
Fourth: connect USB and execute following commands in "platform-tools"
