Lag is so much better and rom is generally smoother, when you said that camera is working I thought that there's something wrong with my Vega but just read that its still in development although it was working perfectly in nightly 03. Any chance of making notifications smaller instead of fullscreen?
[Vega Android Development] ed.dark:
Is that all hardware except the graphics acceleration hardware?
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
thats probably because you are the first guy i know having gsm inside. where did you get that from?
[Vega Android Development] jps1974:
I also have a POV Mobii with built in 3g, from here: https://www.ditech.at/item.do?kurzbez=T10PO02

Haven't tested it yet though, I only use Wifi.
[Vega Android Development] chrisjwild:
Oh well I was so looking forward to upgrading to this latest rom. But got home to find my LCD screen cracked. But the main casing and glass is all in one piece. What I don't get is it was fine when I left for work this morning, no-one has been home and it is now cracked. Maybe I have a ghost that likes gadgets too. Luckily I have gadget insurance. But not looking forward to the loooong time they take to get it sorted.
[Vega Android Development] rbensch:
I have one too, from my german distri. :D

But my mobii have an huawei.
[Vega Android Development] Harplo:
hi!

today I had a strange issue after installing yesterday R04.

When waking up the device, the wifi was of, so I pulled down the taskbar, and clicked on wifi to deactivate/activate it.

The table rebooted, I toggled the wifi button and it rebooted again :confused:

I ended up activating the wifi via the settings menu.

Now seems to work fine and I can activate and deactivate the wifi via the taskbar widget, which makes it more strange because I can't replicate the bug.

And just another thing Mad Murdock... Do you know why the leaked galaxy tab email client is not working since R03?

I could flash it throught CWM in versions 1 and 2 but now when I flash it, it doesn't install and deletes the stock email client.

Many thanks for this great and promising rom.

thanks
[Vega Android Development] bob1369:
the auto hide buttons great i just meant for apps that don't ask for fullscreen i always want as much screen real estate as possible lol dw if you cant' see the point

sent from a 27 inch imac (you see my point about screen real estate)
[Vega Android Development] giogola:
There are on the market new mobii tegra with 3G (Italy) on sales, but I have buied one without 3G. After any weeks i buied from ebay an Ericsson F3307 that i installed inside. The only models that i know that works well is Ericsson F3307 and Huawei EM770W. My pov has buid in sim card holder with mini pci express.

I'm not be able to post one picture with internals pov mobii that show you internal modem, beacouse i have stupid limitation up to 8 posts.
[Vega Android Development] giogola:
interesting, i'd like to know wat model has buil in 3G modem.
[Vega Android Development] TubbyHamster:
I feel like I must be missing something but how have you guys gotten the Market to show up on this?

I have attempted to install the Gapps and a signed market file in Clockwork mod and get GMail/Google Maps etc. However no market appears in the apps list?

I have a feeling I'm being stupid.... :confused:
[Vega Android Development] dragon2611:
Hmm seems locking doesn't work on Nightly 4, it doesn't matter if you select pattern, pin or password the vega will not lock.

This is a bit of a pain as it means anyone can pickup the vega and start using it.

Edit:

Otherwise pretty good though :-)

Edit2:

Ah found out why

Goto > Settings > Cyanogenmod settings > Tablet tweeks

Untick disable lockscreen

Problem solved
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
Add your google account then the market appears
[Vega Android Development] TubbyHamster:
I go to add my account and a box pops up to choose various Google apps from. I select what I want and I get a message saying the process has stopped. It doesn't put the app store on.
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
wipe and reflash the rom and reflash gapps then
[Vega Android Development] add.thebad:
Might b a little off toppic but why when im u turn the screw off does it seem to go into a deep sleep and nothing work kn the background like music or alarm which if found out the hard way grr

I thaught it was a rom thing but since its im cm does this mmean ifs a kernnel thing
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
So I see there are quiet a lot of devices having GSM inside. Probably missed them since I sorted search results for prices. But right now, Bluetooth got top priority to obtain official nightly status... I sucks, I loose motivation, we ask ourselves why nvidia had to use patched open source software, still it needs to be done.... suxxx0r

Morsed by hitting a plastic pipe with my PoV mobii. Excuse typos.
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
Exactly. The lockscreen is disabled by default for tablets since the majority of tablet users doesn't need it. It doesn't fit in a pocket :-) of course, if you got non trustworthy people around, pattern might be good. But how do you know, those people don't take the whole tablet?

Morsed by hitting a plastic pipe with my PoV mobii. Excuse typos.
[Vega Android Development] rvdgeer:
Haven't posted on this till now...

I've been following this thread from a distance, reading up on everything posted in here.

I must say I'm impressed with everything I've heard and seen in this thread...

The only reason I haven't tried any of these cm7 builds is lack of time...

When there's an 'official build' I will definitely find time to flash this!

Keep up the great work you've done so far!
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
well, its more or less official. its build exactly the same way as nightlies are build. if you check mod-version, it doesnt contain 7.0.0-KANG or something similar, but the string included in nightlies.

i am still waiting for my official cm uniform to wear while coding, but at least, i am already listed here and here (:

edit: of course, look for sven at those links - not for mad-murdock (:
[Vega Android Development] rvdgeer:
Sorry, didn't mean it this way...

Was referring to the build status, not the project status :)

What I meant was:

Because of the lack of time to install, test and give well formatted en well funded feedback on these semi-nightlies, I will wait for the major-bug-free-nightlies...

(If you were in desperate need of beta-testers I would reconsider, of course :D )

Just wanted to let you know you efforts and achievements are very welcome and very much appreciated!
[Vega Android Development] scanno:
I have been testing a little bit where some lag comes from that i encounter. I was expecting that it had something to do with networking.

Now i do not know if this is really the cause of the lag. Perhaps other people here can confirm this. I tested this with a scrollable widget and disabling / enabling wifi with the powerwidget.

Wifi is ON: Scrolling is smooth

Turning wifi OFF: Scrolling is lagging and after a while lag is gone.

Turning wifi ON: Scrolling starts lagging again and after wifi is connected, scrolling is getting smooth again.

My question is: are other people seeing the same as i do??

I did not think i had this when using the modaco r8 rom, but i have not been using that rom for while now :-). If this is the same in the FroYo based ROMS then please disregard this post.
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
there is a point on my todo-list for ages, but when i am at the pc, i never think about it....

start adb logcat, start something that creates lag (i.e. rock player via network cifs mount) - keep an eye on logcat - check if something/anything shows up, when the lag-app starts lagging. check if that reappears on every lag.

repeat the same for adb shell dmesg

this could help identifying lags - well, i always think about this when in bed watching tv shows to fall asleep, but never when being here at my devbox (:
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
something different:

this used to be the tablet tweaks thread... so you might be interested in my first idea collection of ttweaks2 which i intend to start very soon: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12922058&postcount=1593
[Vega Android Development] ed.dark:
m^2, does the vega have to have hardware acceleration enabled and working to make it in to nightlies?
[Vega Android Development] scanno:
In addition to my previous post. If i let K9 fetch new mail, there is also lag. I will not show the logcat because that shows the headers of my mail. The lag is with the K9MessageListener. In DMESG i cannot see anything special only the battery percentage polling.

I am not a dev, so i cannot say what is causing the lag, but as far i can see my lag might be related to:

- networking or event handling

- I/CmStatusBarView( 1833): isStillActive returns false - ......
[Vega Android Development] NeatBee:
This is very impressive, looks like there may not be a need for Honeycomb, the only main problems is the lag on menus etc, and the wifi is a bit temperamental, otherwise it's coming along great
[Vega Android Development] johnw230873:
Hi mad-murdock, I'm having an issue with using PPTP trying to connect to connect to my works Microsoft VPN server. I have a Nexus and it connects fine just not my tablet. I have don't a bit of research as it is a function I really work like and I think it might be something in the Kernal. I say that because all ROMs for this tablet seem to have this issue and I also came across this Link , do you have any ideas what could be going on?

:confused:
[Vega Android Development] TubbyHamster:
I wiped and reflashed from scratch but still got the same issues with the Market not appearing. Have moved onto the Corvus 2.2 Tom instead.

Really liked what I saw in this Tom though. :)
[Vega Android Development] johnw230873:
I also had the problem with the market place not being there after a full wipe then suddenly it was, I'll see if I can replicate this.

See if this ups

do a full wipe and reinstall of Rom & gapps addon

Go into wifi settings, untick and retick to see networks

Connect to a network.

After doing this Market showed up in my App menu.

If it still doesn't show up the widget is there you can use on the desktop.
[Vega Android Development] Shaizer:
I don't want to disturb mad murdock with UI changes as he may be busy with bug fixes for the rom and other devices.

Can any dev or cook help me replace the images for the soft buttons in this rom, I can provide the .pngs that are needed but I know nothing about making a flashable zip with modified framework-res.apk inside.

I was also thinking of having a smaller notification pull up in terms of width and height but I know thats much more complicated.

Edit: did a bit of googling, and found that apk files are just zip files if you add .zip at the end! so I copied out my framework-res.apk and I'm gunna try edit the pngs and zip it up again, If theres something that im doing wrong please stop me lol, else I have to reflash my vega. But thanks to zebraheard, restoring from a clockworkmod backup has never been easier.

Edit: Eeeh I'm starting to feel like an epic fail, I've found out about signing the apk and what not but I just can't locate the right png which corresponds to the background of the status bar soft buttons; if I manage to find those then I can recompile - sign and flash with Solidare's vega tools. Can anyyyyone help?
[Vega Android Development] Dyonas:
You don't always need to re-sign files you edit. I remember changing nearly all the framework-res.apk before and pushing it via adb with no real issues. It's better if you push via recovery or you can have a few issues. Most graphics are in res/drawable or something like that. It's been a while since I edited anything though so I may have that wrong. I imagine these status bar mods are in the framework-res.apk
[Vega Android Development] 71baker:
There is a systemui.apk (or something) too in Gingerbread.
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
i tested this so far, that i copied a movie to my sdcard, disabled wifi and watched that movie. i did have nearly no lags. compared to much more lags when watching via cifs mounted share. so i suppose, you are right - the wifi driver is one big source of lagginess.

will point bumble to this (:

can you do adb logcat then try to enable pptp and post the output somewhere? pastebin.com would be nice - or inline if its not that much output.

thats _VERY_ wierd. are you sure you got the latest (aka march) gapps? try to re-download them - maybe your download is borked. in fact, borked downloads turn out to be the top reason for mysterious installation problems.

*shiver* - he said chef... well, i am no chef, i got no winzip installed :D

anyways - see what i posted here about that issue. its a huge step back to exchange files inside the system over using the theme engine.

if someone would put his time into modifications of honeybread alpha4 that would be much much better.
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
why no new nightly updates?

well, for one, bumble-bee is still figuring out the bluetooth issue. i guess he has help from fun_... i myself got sick of it and remembered, why i prefer coding instead of hardware modifying... so i start to work on tablet tweaks again... doing this, i will post a test-build each day, which is also a nightly build. was busy the last days (busy weekend), but am looking forward to code the first part on monday - then i will build test-roms for all 3 tablet devices.

so its no use to build a new nightly today?

regards

murdock
[Vega Android Development] Harplo:
I could replicate this issue, sry no logcat.

Activate wifi and then activate airplane mode.

It does reboot the vega...
[Vega Android Development] Shaizer:
Thank you so much for that valuable piece of info haha this is where the icons are hiding!, I'm gunna take a crack at editing the pngs. Hopefully all goes well, let me know if you want to try out the edited systemui.apk

And the theme manager engine in the rom may be a much better way to make the changes but to the extent of my knowledge this simple work is all I can do :)
[Vega Android Development] johnw230873:
Thanks Murdock

Here is the attached file, I attached all of it just in case the beginning ups but I can see the error is at the end.
[Vega Android Development] johnw230873:
Also found this on the VPN Server

I'm a surprised as other devices at home connect to this server and I have GRE open on my router, does anyone have any bright ideas how to test port 47 from my tablet?
[Vega Android Development] mattykellyuk:
What happened to hibernation in CyanogenMod? Heard about it after I think it was the desire HD release, then nothing after that. Sounds like a useful feature for tablets
[Vega Android Development] bob1369:
Im doing so currently unfortunately it is for hpdi devices whilst vega is mdpi so more work to do than first appears
[Vega Android Development] Harplo:
for those that want some nice honey soft buttons, but don't have the knowledge to edit the theme, this post from G-tablet forum worked for my vega.
[Vega Android Development] Shaizer:
+1 from me, worked a charm :D If only theres a way of taking screenshots.
[Vega Android Development] rvdgeer:
There is!

Look foor ScreenshotER here on xda!

Will post a link later...
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
its much more simple. the honeybread theme works on tablets - why? because when replaces resources, it doesnt matter anymore which size the replaced resource is - its just the looks.

so i understand, you didnt look into that?

the author asked me, how to port this - i warned him about it. replacing systemui.apk is a totally ****ty way - you might lose features and bugfixed - dont do this - someone please go and replace the resources in a theme....

doesnt work - proof me wrong, it would be nice, but until then i stay with "doesnt work"
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
okay, after seeing this "modified systemui.apk" issue over and over, i decided to get rid of it myself:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1041588

honeybread v4 theme with hc soft buttons...
[Vega Android Development] bob1369:
shootme is a far better app for screenshots
[Vega Android Development] rvdgeer:
Re ScreenshotER:

Proof enough?

Or do you need it working on this specific ROM?

You can find the thread: here
[Vega Android Development] HomerSp:
Or just use ddms from the android SDK.
[Vega Android Development] rvdgeer:
Do you have shootme working on a tegra tablet?

ddms is only available from PC as far as I know...

Or prove me wrong ;)
[Vega Android Development] bob1369:
yh never had a problem with it
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
hmmm - i tried screenshotER when first announced on xda frontpage - it didnt work... now i try it again... and it still doesnt work with cm7 (: what a surprise...

its bumble's fault i suppose that screenshots are not working... that they DO work with stock (based) roms doesnt count on this thread imho...
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
localhost / # zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_TUN
CONFIG_TUN=m

guess you are right! its build as module, but module not included...

edit: tried tap instead of tun? could be a temporary solution until fixed
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
about tun: bumble bee will build a new kernel soonish which fixes this issue...
[Vega Android Development] scanno:
That is great. I can wait for that :)
[Vega Android Development] Shaizer:
Ah man you're amazing!!! Works perfectly and so simple and fast. Although some graphic problems with the Honeybread theme but that's meant for phones. Overall it makes everything look much better!!
[Vega Android Development] johnw230873:
Hi mad-murdock, were my log files any help for the VPN issue. As I will be using this feature every day there is a beer or 2 in this for you if you can get it going.

:D
[Vega Android Development] Shaizer:
Screenshots worked in froyo rom but no longer with cm7 gingerbread roms, as mad-murdocks says, its due to the kernel which bumble bee is fixing and working his magic :) I wanted to ask whether anyone knows of a way I can bring up the volume settings like in this picture:

directly with a shortcut from homescreen or an app which runs that script?

I also remember from the stock rom, the volume rocker would always control media volume (as we are using a tablet, not a phone) even when not playing any media but in the cm7 rom we're back to controlling ringer volume which is pretty much useless in most our devices. Any easy way to change this?
[Vega Android Development] purkybum:
there is an app called "Audio manager console" which leaves an icon in your notification bar, and also has a widget. works well. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.audiowidget&feature=search_result
[Vega Android Development] rvdgeer:
Or widgetsoid has a volume switcher option...
[Vega Android Development] Dyonas:
This happened to me too. I've temporarily disabled it and just set ADW so an upward swipe from the Home screen opens the notification bar. I assume this is one of the issues that is going to be fixed as noted by murdock. Otherwise it seems pretty good so far.
[Vega Android Development] pimpmaneaton:
Can the Vega Rom be used on Viewsonic G Tablet?
[Vega Android Development] add.thebad:
i get the same problem just frezes every now and then

but when i works it runs nice and smooth to thanks

i would also like to see a recont apps button and if theirs a way to get rid of the slow screen fade when you put it to sleep that would be nice. even better the crt effect

cheers! looking foward to updates!
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
updated first post with new build - much improved
[Vega Android Development] scanno:
I have it working pretty smooth now. I disabled a couple of things in the performance section of the cyanogenmod settings.

I disabled surface dithering and JIT (reboot after the changes). I did not have the freezes since then.

There is a new version out. Look for that in the Nook thread.
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
yes - had not time tonight to write on this thread - fell asleep (:

will for future releases update first post with download link, but leave details in first post of nook thread.

its my thread now, got first post (:
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
Why on Earth would you dissable JIT?

JIT was the biggest feature built into android 2.2 and has remained since. Yes you vega on stock 2.2 has JIT. Disabling it will cause more problems than it solves, the only reason that feature was left in CM settings was for older phones that JIT didn't work well in, old phones like the G1...

Android is built now to run with JIT.
[Vega Android Development] scanno:
That is OK. Looking good. Nice new graphics.

Just a question. What is the best thread to talk about some CM7 problems that are in the ROM. You do the Tablet UI stuff. But there are also some things that need attention on lower level (i.e. market problems, some FC's, showing wrong CPU info - A7 instead of A9). Hmm uname -a shows also that the kernel is for arm v71.. Is that correct ?? Should that be arm v9 or is the V71 the instruction set version of arm.. Nevermind A9 is ARM v7 instruction-set.

One more thing. Do you mind if i refer to this thread on the Modaco forum ???
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
get bumble bee (aka apache 14) to open a cm7 nightly thread here. and of course also add vega to nightly builds. but i guess, we have to small demand for this.
[Vega Android Development] scanno:
:rolleyes:Hmmm perhaps because the phone use is a G1 (running 2.3.3) upto a few days ago....

Will try to turn on JIT and see if the problems come back or not.
[Vega Android Development] nickwarn:
Damn, this new build is smooth, runs real well. Some strange issue when i turn tab to portrait mode the lower half of the display dont respond. Some apps only work in portrait mode adfree, quadrant etc. I dont know i might be the only one. And personaly i liked the old buttons better or if we atleast could remove the gray square surronding the buttons
[Vega Android Development] add.thebad:
I like!!

Runs much smoother and i think the icons look nicer

Im having issues with wifi though i cant detect any networks. Any one else having issues?

turned it on and off a few times works fine now :)
[Vega Android Development] nickwarn:
Its a shame that its so laggy on wake up. Also maps force close. these are the only issues for me. But the lag on wake up is beginnig to get to me. I also have a Toshiba Folio and its the same with Cm7 build there it runs smooth but on wake up its terrible. Maybe its just me that has this issue. Would be nice to know, but i doubt that i have always had it on Cm7 builds for Vega even on Apache builds.
[Vega Android Development] iulipepe:
I have a problem watching HTML5 movies from web pages. When pressing on the movie windows the Loading appears and after 10 seconds I get the message Sorry this file cannot be played.

This also happens in other CM7-based roms.

Does anybody know a solution?
[Vega Android Development] Dyonas:
Is anyone else still having WiFi fail to reconnect after waking their tablet up? I have to turn it off then back on before it'll connect again.
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
That's a known CM7 bug on all devices, happens at random.
