Gracias a Corvus y a Newbe5 ya podemos probar HC en nuestro tablet.

VegaComb BETA 1.5.2 Patch!

Small patch to apply over the top of 1.5.1 (ONLY to be used on 1.5.1) which fixes Root (for people who upgraded) and App2SD for everyone. Link at the bottom of the thread!

VegaComb BETA 1.5.1 Patch!

This patch simply fixes a small issue with Wifi in 1.5, you can use the 1.4to1.5.1 patch to either upgrade from 1.4 to 1.5.1, or to patch 1.5 to 1.5.1 if you had already flashed it and have the issue Apologies for the bug!

Welcome to VegaComb BETA 1.5!

Hello all! We are back, as promised! The release cycle is slowing down a little now as expected, but we still have some damn juicy treats for you in the BETA 1.5 package So, without mucking about, here is what's changed since 1.4:

Speed... I spoke about this a little in the Modaco Forum , but just to clarify here... We were not happy with the overall speed of the ROM in BETA 1.4. While repairing the stability issues in 1.3, we went a little overboard with "safe" settings, making 1.4 rock solid, but noticeably slower than previous releases. We didn't want to reach a "happy medium" with part-speed and part stability... and so, there has been a full review of all the memory settings, testing dozens of combinations until we reached a setup that offers both impressive speed (at least the speed of 1.3 IMO) without (hopefully!) any of the reliability drawbacks. And so, our hope is that 1.5 will be both the fastest, AND most stable release so far!

Bluetooth should now be fully working, searching and pairing has been tested with several devices, so pair away!

The Screenshot option in the Display section of Settings was causing Force Closes, this is now fixed, so you can take screenshots of your VegaComb tablet in action

The 3G APN (and related) settings should now be correctly visible in the settings menu, for those of you with 3G cards.

Issue which was causing the Launcher to sometimes Force Close on boot should now be fixed.

Problem with the media scanner not correctly locating music on the MicroSD card is now resolved.

Overclock increased back to a maximum of 1.5ghz.

Xpad support should now be available again (to connect Xbox pads over USB).

The Dreaded blue light of DOOM under the camera has been banished to the fourth dimension of hell.

Force Close problem when downloading from the stock browser or Gmail/Email apps should now be fixed.

Force close that was sometimes plaguing the recent apps menu should now be fixed.

Google maps framework has been added. this was previously causing certain apps (such as Tweetdeck) to immediately force close when you logged in. These apps should now be working correctly.

We have had a whip-around and provided the Honeycombs on the boot screen with an extra face each (PHEW! Pedants, move along, nothing to see here :P)

Shutdown menu has now been put in place (thanks to the AMAZING work of HomerSp), it is not the ordinary power menu, but a lovely custom one that provides you with the options for: Home, Shut Down, Reboot and Reboot to Recovery!

Because of the new shutdown menu, the recovery reboot app has now been removed (not needed!).

Added working screen calibration app. This will help with most issues (like home/back buttons) but does not fix the top-of-screen sensitivity issue as of yet I'm afraid!

App drawer has been edited to remove the bottom row of icons, so you can now better access the screen previews below them when placing a shortcut

Again, there may be other stuff that was fixed and forgotten :P Let us know if you find anything!

I also want to make an important note for those who are confused... I am NOT working on this ROM alone, this has been a group effort from the start. Originally worked on by myself and Corvus (with help from the guys here at TabletROMS. Since then we hooked up with HomerSp (LEGEND!) who does magic things with Android that I really don't understand (some say he's a clone grown at google), and the project has moved in leaps and bounds. Unfortunately, Corvus has recently been forced to back out of this project due to time limitations in his real life, with work and family, so now it is primarily myself and Homer who work on VegaComb. I hope this clears things up, credit where credit is due!

Update notes from previous versions:

Welcome to VegaComb BETA 1.4 - Codename: Arnold Veganator (Hasta La Vista Processes)!

As promised! BETA 1.3 was more of a features update, trying to get the ROM more in-line with where we would like it giong forwards, cleaning up files, opimizing and getting as much as possible working. We realized at that time that tehre were memory issues with the build, but we are trying to take a modulated approach to developing this ROM, so one step at a time 

1.4 is primarily a performance release. You won't see any HUGE new features here (other than Huawei 3g support, thanks to rebel1!) but a lot has gone on in the background to try and make this ROM useable as your daily OS. Memory values have been tweaked, the kernel has been re-compiled with HoneyComb specifically in mind and (hopefully!) all of the freezes and hard lockups present in 1.3 have now been eradicated.

Changes in BETA 1.4:
Kernel has been recompiled from scratch (thanks to @homerSp!) gearing it for HoneyComb. Some features such as xpad support are not yet present in this kernel, they will be added back in soon, but there shouldn't be much other than that.

Kernel bug that was preventing lowmemorykiller from working effectively has been fixed in this build.

Memory tweaks made in init to values better suited to both the Vega and to Honeycomb.

CPU clocking now defaults to 1ghz instead of 1.5, the top-end has been lowered down to 1.4 for now (this will be put back to 1.5 hopefully in the next release). Install SetCPU (from XDA) or download CPU Master from the market (free) to overclock if you want.

Support for Huawei 3G dongles added (HUGE thanks to rebel1 for this patch!) - this has NOT been tested as of yet, as I don't own a 3g dongle! :P

EGL patch tweaked slightly taking a new approach, hopefully making this simpler to manage in the future.

The issue where the battery indicator was not updating correctly MAY be fixed in this build (not 100% confirmed yet)

Replaced an icon I missed when the BACK button is pressed (oops!)

Adjusted a couple of apps to save some space in /system.

Please make sure you ask for help and post bugs in the threads provided, I am getting WAY too many PM's to answer them all (sorry, don't take it personally!).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to Vegacomb 1.3!

LOTS of changes in this build! Make sure you do a FULL wipe of everything before installing!

Changes in BETA 1.3
Switched to Transformer Frameworks - Better fit for our hardware and to stay in line with what the Adam guys are doing.

New frameworks are more streamlined, should make the UI feel snappier overall.

Framework edited which should allow all web related apps to render correctly (not flash)! 
This means that you can now use browsers you download from the market like Miren and Dolphin, and news readers such as Pulse will now work.

Wifi issue that caused you to need to reboot after the first flash before Wifi would turn on is now fixed. You can connect straight away after flashing the ROM!

Corporate email setup added to Accounts & sync (all security settings work correctly, but remote wipe does not factory restet the device as of yet, but is does disconnect the emails).

Screenshot function added (select in Settings > Display). You can take screenshots by long-press of the Recent Apps softkey.

The Calendar app is back from Vacation and ready to organize your life.

The Books app has gotten over it's shyness and now shouldn't dissapear shortly after boot. This is still slightly strange so it might go walkies if you don't pin it down :/

Working Recovery Reboot app added, this one works so you no longer need gscript to reboot to recovery! (thanks to Paul O'Brien for this app!)

VegaComb Beta simple boot logo added.

REALLY annoying black fade on the right-side when using the notifications popup has been removed as it refused to display correctly.

MicroSD card now correctly displays as what it is, instead of showing as Internal USB storage.

Moving apps to the MicroSD should now work correctly, and apps launch fine, even if you have USB debugging turned on.

USB external storage now shows correctly, and gives a notification when it is plugged in (you can click on the notification to browse files or dismount the USB storage).

Can now correctly mount FAT, EXT and NTFS USB storage and browse through the file browser.

When you connect the Vega to the PC with your USB cable, you now get a notification allowing you to mount your SD card over the USB to share your files!

Doubled the ammount of memory that was available to apps in order to try and combat some of the freeze-up issues (MAKE SURE YOU WIPE DALVIK CACHE WHEN YOU INSTALL THIS BETA!)

Other stuff I've forgotten again :/

-----------------------------------
What's new in BETA1?
This is a HUGELY new build, and has required a ton of testing, so please bear this in mind :P

Files have been streamlined and some slowdown bugs should have been fixed, you should see a nice little speed increase in this build.

SuperUser is FINALLY fixed! No... I really mean it this time :P

WiFi has been patched. You will still have to reboot as it will lock the first time you try to turn it on, but after that it should be much more stable than before, and shouldn't require you to toggle WiFi on/off all the damn time.

The Dolby Audio section in the Settings menu was causing Force Close errors, so this has now been removed from the menu completely.

Web browser has been hacked to prevent you having to disable EGL rendering in order for it to work.

Gmail and Email apps have been FIXED. You can now read your emails in both apps, they should be working perfectly as far as I have tested.

Bluetooth libs and binaries have been added. Bluetooth now turns on without any errors, but I cannot yet confirm if it actually works. If someone tests this, please let me know!

WiFi has been patched to connect correctly to ad-hoc networks. So you can now tether your Vega to a phone such as the HTC Hero.

The whole image has been SHRUNK (massively) to fit into the Vega's default partition size. It's a hell of a squeeze, and some apps have had to be pushed to /data to make it fit. All of these are apps that can be re-downloaded from the market like maps etc) other than two, the Android keyboard (it's a huge file :P) and the Android Music app. If you prefer to use a different keyboard, you can remove this one, but if you wipe /data, you will have NO keyboard installed, and the world might implode :P

This is now a ClockworkMod image, designed to be used on the Vega's default partition tables, so DO NOT flash this over the top of ALPHA4. Re-flash 1.09 (or some other standard image) before installing this through CWM. You now have a healthy 293mb to play with in /data, so you can download stuff off the market without worrying like in ALPHA4  

New in Alpha4:
Gapps WORKING! (Huge effort on IRC, big thanks to MrGuy!)
NTFS usb drives should now be detected in host mode (not tested)
Moved some apps to /data and shrunk the /system partition to 260mb to give you some more space now that the market works!
3D Photo Browser, Books, Maps, Youtube, Google Talk and Music Apps moved to /data (you can uninstall them from there to save space, if you wipe data/factory reset you will lose them!)
Browser patched to turn off EGL rendering by default, so no more need to use about:debug anymore.
SuperUser fixed!! (Hopefully properly this time! :P)
Other stuff I've forgotten :P

New in Alpha3:
SD Card is now detected
Audio fixed (HomerSp, legend  )
WiFi Fixed (Guess who? :P ) (This is still buggy, the first time you turn it on, it will not work. Reboot, then try again. Sometimes need to toggle on/off to get it running)
G-Sensor fixed (yup, you can rotate happily now!)
Bottom-Bar Home button fixed.
Lock screen added.
Hardware buttons now work, power to sleep/wakeup etc.
Added Spare Parts, you can set power to home/sleep.
Root and Superuser added (you should be able to use CPU tools to overclock now). (WHOOPS I BROKE THIS! SEE BELOW ON HOW TO FIX!)
Bunch of changes in build.prop
More updated libs and binaries than you can shake a llama at.

What works (from Alpha1):
It boots!
Hardware Acceleration!
Widgets.
Most (not tested) android apps should run.

What doesn't work:
Camera Still FC.
No 3G.


----------------------------------------
No funciona ni la wifi ni el bt ni la rotacion de pantalla, pero es una primera alfa de estos dos cracks.

Yo la he probado y es una pasada.

Se instala como la rom oficial del advent vega entrando en el nflash ( boton atras dos segundos, luego mantener atras y presionar power dos segundos y soltar power y mantener dos segundos atras). le damos al instalwindows.bat y a probarlo.

Ahora me preguntareis, y como instalo cosas?
aqui os lo explican,
Yo instale ayer el root explorer y ya luego le meti apps desde la SD.

Para aquellos que no les detecte la SD, tiene que sacarla y volverla a poner y entonces el root-explorer la detecta.

No ha conseguido rootearla con el visionary para restaurar las applis con el titanum, y el aldiko me hace FC, pero no lo dudeis, haced una copia de vuestro sistema con el metodo one click de aqui y instalar HC aunque sea para probarlo.

Para ponerla en modo host, apretando el boton de atras al encender, como en todas sus roms.

Otra vez, muchisimas gracias por traernos HC a nuestro POV. los putos amos.



pd. una birrilas a corvus tampoco le vendran mal, en cuanto cobre este mes te mando una ronda a mi salud
pd2. he esperado un poco para ver si Corvus se animaba a postear, pero andara muy liado mirando de arreglar la wifi

[jixx]

PD: la verdad que esta muy bien, una vez podamos tener wifi sera la reostia

PD2 : si puedes podrias hacer un mini tuto para instalar la primera apk porque no me aclaro en el enlace

el wifi falla lo raro es poder entrar en el applanet y descargar y luego entras en navegador, youtube etc y no va..

la galeria va pero falla, la musica tambien pero tambien falla algo, solo es cosa de que pulan estos cracks

[Melted]

para conseguir acceso root y poder restaurar el titanim abrid el adb y poner

adb remount
adb shell
chmod 06755 /system/bin/su

y os funcionara el titanium y podreis restaurar las applis que teniais en la antigua rom
a mi no me a funcionado a la primera, asi que volver a probar despues de un par de reinicios.

la galeria me funciona pero a pedales.
la musica si añado los mp3 desde el explorador tb, pero no busca lo que tengo en la SD.
Para poder navegar bajaros el firefox que sí funciona.

[jixx]

otra cosa que no me funciona es poder meter la cuenta de correo en gnmail

esta claro que hay muchas cosas que arreglar y mejorar pero todo pinta muy bien

ese fallo ya esta más que comentado por los foros, supongo que no tardarán mucho en arreglarlo

[francho84]

Un par de preguntas rapidas. Primero que en el alpha 3 no veo ningun instalwindows.bat. Creo que hay un update windows (eso significa que tengo que instalar alguna version anterior?). Luego que hago la convinacion esta para entrar en modo nflash pero no sale nada. Hay alguna señal que me pueda indicar que la tablet esta en modo nflash?
Gracias y a ver si prospera esta rom que tiene muy buena pinta.

Iva a plantear exactamente lo mismo, ayer me baje la Alpha3 y nada, imposible instalar... el installwindows.bat no aparece por ningun sitio, el ese update.bat no se para q sirve, a ver si alguien nos ilumina

[aneyolaia]

Sabiendo lo del restorewindows solo me quedaria saber como poner la tablet en NFLASH, por que ahora si le doy al restorewindows me pone durante una milesima de segundo algo de que no encuentra el usb y se cierra.
Por cierto que tengo windows 7 y supongo que le faltaran los drivers.... igual es ese el problema. Sabeis cuales hay que instalar para poner la rom esta?

[aneyolaia]

tienes muchos tutoriales en internet y en esta misma pagina tambien,yo soy novato y la verdad que no sabria explicarte bien,para ponerlo en Nflash en el primer comentario te dice co mo ponerlo,luego le metes los driver de la pagina de advent,y luego me imagino que poniendolo otra vez en nflash y dandole al restowindons se instalara.
la verdad que esta bien,pero yo consigo conectarme a internet,¡alguien me podria decir como lo ha hecho'.
grCIAS

[aneyolaia]

No consigo conectarme a internet,no como e puesto en el comentario

[Melted]

intenta activar la wifi, se te quedara en conecting... apagala, reinicia la tablet y vuelve a activar la wifi.

[francho84]

Vale era tema del driver... Ahora ya he podido instalarla y puedo juguetear un poco. No es muy util por que le fallan muchas cosas pero ojala avance rapido este proyectillo y podamos tenerla completamente funcional.

[jixx]

venia corriendo para casa aver si teniamos nueva alpha XD

por cierto noto que quiza a mejorado un pelin el aguante de la bateria no ?

[ecamposeco]

[ROM] VegaComb ALPHA3 - by newbe5 and Corvus,.... cargada, funcionando, me gusta un monton y ademas estaba ya esperando algo asi, para ir probando, aunque habra que cocinarla bien para que vaya fina, la verdad es que es otro tema distinto a lo que ya estabamos acostumbrados de aqui para atras..., la verdad es que esta muy guapa... haber si al final vamos tener un sistema del que muchos envidiaran y que muchos quieren tener..., ya le tenia ganas. Saludos. ecamposeco

*** UPDATE 12:00pm EDT May 12th 2011MrGuy has done it again, looks like the Market (gapps) issue has been resolved! MrGuy says " Borkata's link and HomerSp's test app helped a lot too"

Segun dice parece que pronto tendremos una version con market (gapps) operativo
