[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
What are nightly builds?

Nightly builds are automated builds from latest cyanogenmod sources. they are not tested in deepth like RC's or stable versions. In most cases they work without any issues. Thats because all patches get reviewed before they are merged into sources - this way, merging of bad code doesnt happen very often.

Since vega does not have official nightly status yet, i do semi-official builds for you on a semi regular basis. We will get official nightlies, once bluetooth is working - but that is a pretty complicated issue.

Vendor vega

The vendor vega is currently for Advent Vega and PoV Mobii devices. There might be more added later on.

Official nightly mirror

http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=vega

Update 31.05.2011

buildbot had a hdd crash, and it can take some more days until nightlies are back online. that long, i might post semi-official nightlies here.

http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=vega

Nightly install instruction

Coming from another rom?

Do a full wipe in clockwork mod recovery

Install latest nightly build from here

Flash latest gapps from here

reboot

do the first-time-run-setup wizard

if you dont use gsm/phone, reboot to recovery and flash attached vega-phone-removal.zip - saves battery

Upgrading from older nightly?

Just flash latest rom from here in clockworkmod recovery

No need to wipe or flash gapps again, if you done on first install

In rare cases you will encounter bugs, noone else encounters - wipe then and do a fresh install

In at least 99% no wipe needed - there are known people not having wiped for at least half a year

Doing a nandroid backup before upgrading is always a wise idea, in case something goes wrong

if you dont use gsm/phone, flash attached vega-phone-removal.zip - saves battery

reboot to your updated rom and enjoy

Overclocking instructions

use settings->cm settings->preformance->cpu settings to switch frequencies. optionally use setCPU and similar tools.

USB Host mode instruction

to enable usb host mode for keyboard, mouse and other support, power device off. power it back on. once the screen gets lit, press and hold back key until device is booted (you see the homescreen or lockscreen). now you can connect various usb devices.

clockworkmod 3 for vega

with nightly 61 and later, use rom manager to flash latest stable recovery.

List of known bugs

This is a list of cm7 bugs specific to vega - i wont cover cm7 general bugs here, since they are covered on other places. Feel free to discuss them here, thats what this thread is for.

no legacy a2sd yet - working on it

power->reboot->recovery doesnt work and power->reboot->bootloader should be removed
