Even a fresh install of >cm_vega_full_teamdesire_BR1-20110404-2312.zip< on a totally wiped device with the latest Gapps fails. It's ok for a bit then no downloaded apps are shown. MD5sum checked too. I just don't get it!
[Vega Android Development] wipeout140:
I came from r8 - MoDaCo Custom ROM and wipe data and cache then full wipe factory wipe, I then went on to install the latest build 4/4 bug fix 1 then installed latest gapps (20110307).

I did/do have Market problems (My Apps window shows the "no apps have been downloaded from the market!" ) as well however if I do a search for a paid app like Newsrob Pro it shows Purchased allows me to re-download it.

I have been able to download all my paid apps such as Smart Keyboard Pro but it still shows no downloads from the marketplace.

Thanks again for all the great work, its a really great ROM.
[Vega Android Development] scanno:
Yes downloading apps and seeing my paid apps (through searching) is not a problem. Looking at the market website you can see all the apps i have installed. I guess the onpy real problem is that you will not be notified when there are updates for the installed apps.

Just tried slave/host mode switching. Seems to work good. I put in a USB stick and that got recognised and mounted (FAT32 formatted).

So this is really getting a great ROM. Still have a few apps that FC (the XDA app for one).
[Vega Android Development] wipeout140:
I agree that it will be annoying but as I have limited applications I use regularly , I can live with it and do a once a week check to make sure there the latest versions.
[Vega Android Development] Budius:
1st install of the 04 04 built coming from a stock rom. Did all the possible wipes:

Pros:

honeycomb style notification bar

Gingerbread keyboard

I don't have to type about:debug to change the browser User agent

Cons:

Gb keyboard is not for tablets and it's missing all the non dictionary languages (it keeps trying to correct me to English words when I'm not typing in English)

Wifi keeps dying out of nowhere and the only way to have it back is to turn it off and on again

Dungeon defenders (and possible others) in-game movies are not playing

the market doesn't show the apps

General sluggishness comapring to stock.

I hope those get fixed until final release... but for now I'll get back to stock.

edit:

----------

I was been a bit unfair:

Pros:

Google maps works much much smoother

The device is able to find your position on the maps, geotag photos, etc (using the IP address)
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
Edit: Change post format

Bugs:

- Market downloads not listed

- Swiftkey tablet about double its normal size (can't really use it!!)

Good points:

- Very nice rom alround

- accelerometer is pretty much perfect, unlike any other rom!

- very high bench marks

- tablet tweaks rock!

- a2sd works

and more... :)
[Vega Android Development] Zebwen:
Basically, same as Lenny. This ROM is freaking amazing, almost to the point of perfection. My main qualms are:

1) Market not behaving correctly (When you click OPEN on an app you just installed, it says it can't find item, also the Gapps installer at the start of ROM setup has this same issue, so it doesn't actually install a lot of the gapps.). On top of that, the market seems generally slow to load, and won't always show app icons etc.

2) Swiftkey tablet beta does not work (Keyboard opens about 2-3 times normal size, taking up most of the screen)! This is a huuuge issue, as this keyboard would compliment this ROM perfectly. This may be a SwiftKey problem (it is in beta) but it works perfectly on all 2.2 ROMS I have tried.

3) No Ad-Hoc wifi tethering. For me, this is an enormous issue, as I have a Hero and it can't work in Infrastructure mode. I've tried a few replacement wpa_supplicant files, but none of them resolve this issue (CM7 limitation??). On the Vega this is MUCHO important as we do not have a 3G connectivity option in the device, and so need a way of connecting on the move.

4) No bluetooth. Again, linked to the the above, I couldn't actually turn on the bluetooth in the Vega with this ROM installed, so no BT tethering to the phone through PDANET either :/

5) The notification bar can be very difficult to swipe-up from the bootom (could be an issue with the screen sensitivity at the bottom of the Vega screen). I know there is a button for this, but it's still nice to swipe ;)

6) The Gallery3D that comes with this CM doesn't play many video formats (I couldn't play any video's that I tried over UPNP). I THINK this is an issue with the Gallery3D video app, might be fixed by replacing it with 32bit G3D or an alternative vid player (MoboPlayer).

BUT

This is fast, the tablet optimizations rock, THE ACCELEROMETER WORKS!!! And I don't just mean that it is oriented correctly, it's actually FAST AND RESPONSIVE! Which up until now hasn't happened in any ROM I have tested (I was starting to think it was a limitation of the hardware). I can play Speedx3D perfectly with the accelerometer and no need for an external controller.

DAMN fine work, I look forward to future releases! Please don't take the above as me slating this amazing ROM, I simply want to help make it better :)

Zeb

Edit: Just tested MoboPlayer streaming through UPNPlay, it still doesn't work (works fine on all 2.2 ROMS). It comes up "Loading" stops, then starts Loading again, and loops forever.
[Vega Android Development] 318vert:
Agree, its running sluggish for me to it seems to lag when doing anything.
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
give it a few hours to bed in, and do several reboots, it does get better.
[Vega Android Development] dagrim1:
This...

It's really pretty fast here, in the beginning I seemed to have some problems as well (especially noticed it when typing) but now it's pretty damn fluid.

Hardly any issues at all (except bluetooth and sometimes wifi not working, usually have it always on but sometimes breaks. Toggling it off and on again fixes it though.)

Loving the bottom bar...
[Vega Android Development] Zebwen:
OK more testing!

1) Using MultiTouch Visualiser 2 and MultiTouch Tester from the Market:

2 touch points register perfectly, but if you add a third finger to the screen, it LOCKS the first two touch point in place (you can actually remove the first two fingers and the points stay on the screen) as lnog as the third touch is held down. Could cause an issue with games if you tap the screen in an extra spot by accident.

2) USB Host mode works fine, but plugging in a USB mouse does not give you a mouse cursor as it does on the stock ROM. Instead, mouse movements are registered as if they were a track-pad on a phone. Moving the mouse left hilights the next icon to the left, etc. Clicking actually select the hilighted icon. Interesting result, but not really usable for any application I can think of!

3) After leaving the Vega on standby (ordinary screen timeout "sleep") overnight, and waking it up for more testing this morning, the thing was so laggy it was unusable. I waited a while to see if it would speed up, but after 10 minutes it was still too laggy to get anything done. Had to restart the Vega to get it working properly again.

More testing to come!

[Vega Android Development] 318vert:
Have done, ive had the ROM installed for a few days.

If i run the benchmark test you can see the video speed up and then slow down and speed up like the ROMs lagging. Also noticeable in scrolling menus and browser.
[Vega Android Development] ed.dark:
I get that watching a video. It stutters then is ok then stutters again..
[Vega Android Development] zzleezz:
I read that line and almost choked! One stray comma in that sentence and you would be in a world of internet hurt!! :D
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
updated first post - new release...
[Vega Android Development] nfuse:
maybe you can add the Viewsonic Viewpad 10S to the supported device list ;)
[Vega Android Development] Danidemi:
Yes Viewpad 10s will be very wanted...
[Vega Android Development] nickwarn:
Thank you for all your hard work. the Vega/POV has really come to life. i also have an Toshiba Folio is it possible for you to make a port of this rom for the Folio? I know its much to ask but, hey if you never ask.... you never know.
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
Market bugs, and large apps (Plume and Swiftkey for example) are still there.
[Vega Android Development] ed.dark:
Same here. Still no downloads on market....
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
rc2 - hopefully the final version - uploaded for review
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
is it in the cm target list? if not, i cannot (:

will be merged to nightlies pretty soon anyways - hopefully today...

market bug? full reset market.... in applications, force stop, delete data/cache, then go to titanium, select market and wipe data - in this order - i tried other orders/skip steps => wont work...
[Vega Android Development] ed.dark:
I have no data to wipe in manage applications-market. I can delete cache but the data wipe option is greyed out. I tried your method above but obviously without the data wipe. No luck. didnt work here.
[Vega Android Development] Zebwen:
Had already tried this in the previous build, does not fix anything and in some cases stops the market from opening at all :/
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
Right following these steps and wiping the data for all market apk's (3 of them) in titanium worked, but only for a few minutes then the market seemed to forget itself and went back to having no apps again.
[Vega Android Development] wipeout140:
Unlucky I had same problems with the Market as seen by Lennyuk,Zebwen etc...

(Tested on tt.RC2-20110407-1648)

Its a really shame, as this seems to be the biggest issue I have with this ROM
[Vega Android Development] play3r:
- Regarding Ad-Hoc, there is some work for the Nook Color:

nookdevs dot com slash NookColor_Enable_Adhoc_Networking

which may work on this device as well.

- Regarding Wifi, itself, I've been running CM7 RC4 (again on the NC) with no need to toggle wifi to get it to work or keep it working. Something missing/changed in the "tablet tweeks?"
[Vega Android Development] nfuse:
I mean the hardware from the viewsonic viewpad 10S is exactly the same as the advent vega and pov mobii ;)
[Vega Android Development] add.thebad:
whats the target list?
[Vega Android Development] deadite66:
I've gone back to the advent/modaco rom for now.

too laggy, wifi slow and market downloads don't show.

the only other thing that annoyed me was installing something on the vega and it being auto-installed on my desire hd with cm7.
[Vega Android Development] 71baker:
Not sure if this is an issue with only POV tablets or what , but I can't play xvid or , in fact any .avi i have tried so far. I haven't yet flashed the last one, but i am gonna charge the tablet over the day now while at work and flash it when i come home. Just wanted to check if anyone else with a POV has this issue? Tried it both with a file on sd-card and via the Toshiba videoplayer-app (DLNA).

@mad murdock

I tried your tip with the market not showing my purchased and downloaded apps , and sure , they show up after a force close/wipe cache and data (data is ghosted in applications settings) then wiping data in Titanium backup , but after a reboot it is the same again.

Anyway i'm sure this will get solved somehow , mad-props to you mad-murdock , you have mad-skills!!! ;)
[Vega Android Development] tony_k55:
damn! my pov hangs at "booting...."

I dont know what is to do... :(((
[Vega Android Development] ed.dark:
Me too!

Mad Murdoch, I'd love to use this ROM all the time but for now it is too laggy and the market issues put me off. I have used it for 4 days. Thanks very much for your effort. I hope to use GB again on my vega...

Corvus ROM for now has shown me how fast a Vega can be!
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
I just read the last few pages here. I cannot help lag issue yet, since its kernel based, but I try to improve the rest.

making this rom faster and better.

bumble bee needs to improve his kernel. this mentioned covus rom - can you link and also which kernel does it use?

Morsed by hitting a plastic pipe with my Desire HD. Excuse typos.
[Vega Android Development] weissnix:
Here is the corvus thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1010513

Runs great and smooth, but i like the cm more. Because of the softbuttons etc.

And i have cm7 also on my desire ;)
[Vega Android Development] ed.dark:
Does it need Gingerbread specificdrivers like the Desire did in CM7?
[Vega Android Development] Harplo:
If you could include the corvus kernel this would be just sweet!

Best rom + best kernel !
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
I am pretty sure the Corvus kernel is almost identical, if not completely identical to the Buzz Kernel, plus Bumble-bee has fixed other things in the existing CM kernel that are not included in Corvus e.g. accelerometer.
[Vega Android Development] rferrett:
Sweet stuff here! Any chance this rom could get listed in ROM manager?
[Vega Android Development] Harplo:
Silly question: Does it make sense to flash the corvus kernel into this rom or Mad Murdock has made changes into it so it wouldn't work with this CM7 rom?

I want to see if it improves lag and maybe, just maybe, fixes the market issue.
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
No it won't work on a cm7 rom as it stands
[Vega Android Development] 318vert:
Any chance of including this theme with this and optinise the graphics for tablets as the notification bar is all messed up?

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/17866-theme-honeycomb-android-30-alpha-4/
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
i am not so sure about that.

for one, I tried the kernel with cm, and sure it crashed. still was worth a try. for another, I tried there corvus rom, and its insane smooth. i understand hardware decoding works because of froyo, but totally lag free? he must made some changes to the kernel. its the smoothest android device I saw so far and its not even gingerbread.

I talked to bumble bee about it, and he will contract corvus later today. I am looking forward to get cm as smooth as that rom. i can live without hardware decoding, but the lags annoy me, too...

yet the lack of functionality forces me back to cm. not only the tweaks, but all the cm features. cannot live without them. including the totally screwed up shell of most roms

Morsed by hitting a plastic pipe with my Desire HD. Excuse typos.
[Vega Android Development] nfuse:
this is almost imposible? did you followed the recovery procedure with an original rom and an usb male / male cable? if you dont have a cable you can easely create your own just a piece of tape and 2 usb cable's cut them and tape them together just connect the right collors ofcourse.

if you already tryed this i'am sorry
[Vega Android Development] stojanos:
Skype not working

did anyone try Skype with CM7 RC2 on Vega? It does not work for me. It is stuck on welcome screen. It works ok on Paul's R8 Rom.
[Vega Android Development] chrisjwild:
Hey guys,

Can you please tell me which package you use to install Google apps. The ones I have tried have crashed my Vega.

Thanks

gapps-gb-tegra-20110113-signed from http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/

[Vega Android Development] dagrim1:
Went back to corvus afterall for now.... loved cm7 but it was just a bit too laggy at times (gf was esoecially annoyed by it). Ill surely give it another try in the future.
[Vega Android Development] wipeout140:
Thanks for excellent work mad-murdock it is great ROM, but am going to stay with corvus0.5 after testing it today. But I will definitely be back in the future :)
[Vega Android Development] chrisjwild:
Thank you. Will try it now.
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
Will move this to nightly thread soon. Including a list of things that really bug people. Lag is a big issue,I can understand why people move away from this until it is solved. I cannot miss the features here,but on the other hand it does its job. .. rebooted help if lag grows to severe.

Anyways,lots of stuff to fix to make this a better experience.

Nightly thread should also feature installation instructions,since many Vega users are not used to nightly handling yet.

Even I am more focused on GUI than on kernel, bumble bee is a great kernel Guy and I am looking to getting this smooth asap.

Morsed by hitting a plastic pipe with my PoV mobii. Excuse typos.
[Vega Android Development] add.thebad:
Nice stuff. Really looking foward to this. Once it runs nice and smooth this rom will b real special.

Had ur work been merged now
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
nightly build 01 up on first post. please help me gather all stuff that needs to be fixed. please remember it should be vega-based stuff... cm7 overall issues are collected elsewhere - sure they can and should still be discussed here (:
[Vega Android Development] harmohn:
Thanks mad-murdock, really look forward to you & bumble bee collaborating further on this! :)
[Vega Android Development] ariebart:
Can you please add more languages i.e. dutch?
[Vega Android Development] brebe24:
a lot of lag and bugs

Very nice rom, works ok, but a lot of problems still coming around, but the most important one is that flash doesnt work. i told also Buzz about flash not working on his rom, and i can see you have the same problem.

keep up the good work!!
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
well, to be honest, I don't have the problem, and others don't have it, too. you probably do something wrong.

about languages - good point. looking into this

Morsed by hitting a plastic pipe with my Desire HD. Excuse typos.
[Vega Android Development] mingoid:
Is the issue with market downloads not appearing Vega specific? I haven't seen anyone mention it in a while but its my biggest annoyance.
[Vega Android Development] Bennji:
I have problems with flash, no sound and flakey unwatchable performance. It works fine in Corvus' ROM.

What can I be doing wrong?

Apart from that, I'm loving your work.
[Vega Android Development] scanno:
Hi,

Just a question, i installed the nightly build over ttRC2. I seem to have lost the tablet tweaks. I just get the option to switch the statusbar to the buttom of the screen. No softbuttons. I also get the mdpi battery indicator. Did i miss something ???
[Vega Android Development] nickwarn:
I have a Toshiba Folio also and its the same with CM7 builds on that. i think others have it also its just common knowledge now so people dont disscus it. If I remember right it was the same on the first Gingerbread ports for phones also.
[Vega Android Development] 71baker:
After reading the post about Corvus rom and your comments Mad Murdock i flashed it to see what it's about.

Holy crap its smooth. If you can get CM7 working like that i'm sold.

Other things: Video playback works native in Corvus. Can't play anything native (except mp4 i believe) in Cm7. In Corvus everything but .mkv works native.

Also market works flawlessly. I'm leaning towards something makin the gapps pack not installing right on Cm7 or something. At the same time it seems some got it working. Dunno. I only ever had problem with Market in Cm7, nowhere else.
[Vega Android Development] Harplo:
+1 and also the no signal bar icon on status bar. Back to rc2.

For me biggest issue right now is market not working properly.
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
ups... absolutely right... i messed something up. nightly 02 incoming

Morsed by hitting a plastic pipe with my Desire HD. Excuse typos.
[Vega Android Development] scanno:
Good thing that it is sunday:) Keep flashing and restoring today.

Keep up the good work.
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
nightly 02 will have all languages, will be "a tablet" instead of "a phone" and include full tablet tweaks, and MAYBE have fixed market and less lag - but have to test that first... currently building

sorry for screwing up the first two parts in build 01 - was kinda stupid (: - on the other hand, building a rom with everything setup right can be painful.
[Vega Android Development] nickwarn:
Hey, we know your on the case! your always on the case. Thank you, no need to apologise for a build that works. but its strange how fast one get used to things. Before you, our dear A-team member, was on the case i used button savior and that worked good. But now it sure feels like something is missing. looking forward to the b02
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
anyone with a advent vega please post the output of adb shell cat /proc/mtd

either vega got different partition sized then my pov mobii has, or bumble bee made a mistake in setting up the partition sizes... too bad, bumble bee is offline right now

Well you cannot do anything wrong by wiping data, cache and installing the zip file. after that i instaled the flash 10.1 and thats it

i got a pov mobii, and more system, less data size - maybe newer firmware changed the size.

nightly 02 will work on the smaller layout, too - it will be more lagfree, will be multi language and maybe even market fixed - trying to figure out that part right now.
[Vega Android Development] scanno:
That is good to know. If it was a newer firmware that has a newer partition layout, perhaps newer advent firmware will have the larger system layout also. If that is the case and having a larger system partition is a pro for new ROMS , perhaps there should be some tutorial about how to change the partition layout or first flash pov/advent rom version x.xx and then CM7. Or something like that.

Do you remember what version of the rom your pov had when you got it?
