Really liking this one... Some observations so far:

* Some issues with softbuttons. After first install placing them at the top and bottom left caused issues with the keyboard (when on top, typing on the keyboard caused the notifications coming down and at the bottom left trying to hit the softbuttons made the notification bar pop up). Moving them to the bottom right and back to bottom left made things work again. No problems since that.

* Laggy at times. Somehow it just feels laggy. Especially noticable when typing on the keyboard but also when going through appdrawer, webbrowsers, etc. Just doesn't feel really optimized yet.

Trying to figure out if disabling surface dithering helps, seems to.

* No bluetooth? Also not when powering off and turning on again (as mentioned in the main thread). It tries to turn on but stays shut off...

* CPU governot settings in cyanogenmod settings not doing anything.

* Browser (at least dolphin HD and mini) sometimes locking and freezing the device. Not sure it it's the rom or the browser

All in all, very nice and battery leeft actually seems excelent as well! Cheers for all this!

Btw, can I use the touchscreen calibration tool in combination with CM7?
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
new build linked at first post. includes fullscreen override and disabling of lockscreen. also includes a new kernel by bumble-bee (not a mod, but just a merged cm7 patch)
[Vega Android Development] dagrim1:
Cool, just flashed it and now rebooting...

Ight, booted fine in the end... Will give it a spin :)

Issues mentioned above (bluetooth, cpu governor) still not working but feels quite snappy at the moment...
[Vega Android Development] add.thebad:
`wow this is rapid!! thanks for your work i love these roms i will flash shortly
[Vega Android Development] rvdgeer:
Just flashed CM7...

Feels great so far!

A big thanks to everyone involved!!

Question:

Is there any particular reason clockworkmod 3.0.2.4 isn't recognized by ROM Manager as a clockworkmod recovery?

And anything I/we can do about it?
[Vega Android Development] bob1369:
our clockworkmod is specific for the vega flashed on a seperate partition standard cwm does not work on our vega's unfortunately therefore rom manager does not recognise it this is a problem for the dev of the app to fix

Hi,

I have an Advent Vega and a Nook Color, both running latest CynogenMod 7.

When I go to the web page of Android Market https://market.android.com/ from my computer, I only see the latest one I used.

Is there a limit to the number of devices attached to a google account or are the roms for the nook and the vega too similar and thus not correctly detected by the market?

Regards,

Typhoe
[Vega Android Development] scanno:
As far as i know there is no limit. I have myself 3 devices connected to my google account. A vega, a G1/dream and a desire z. I have no problems.
[Vega Android Development] Typhoe:
I have 4 devices.

An old HTC Desire still activated on the market

My actual Nexus S

A Nook Color

An Advent Vega.

The 2 phone are displayed, but only one tablet...
[Vega Android Development] scanno:
You only have problems with the market website? I mean the market app works normally:

- You see the apps you have installed

- Updates of apps are seen correctly

- Paid apps are available?

If the market on your phone is working correctly, then it is more a problem of the market website.

I guess on the market website if you look at your account and settings you only see three devices listed there??? I would not worry about that because the market website has had some strange things before...

It could be that the website has a limit of 3 devices, but if all your devices work as it should with the market app then it really is a limitation of the website.

Hi All,

In the quest of identifying the remaining lag in this wonderful CM7 rom i would like to ask for some help to pinpoint the origin of the remaining lag so Bumble Bee / mad-murdock have an idea where to look. As we found out here the wifi driver might be the cause of the most lag. When switching off wifi, most lag is gone. However still some small lag remains. In logcat i see that most of the time i have lag, my weather widget is trying to do things. So i started to experiment a little. I thought perhaps the specific widget i am using does not work well on the Vega. So i installed another weather widget (fancy widget). Still lag. Then i removed the weather widget from my homescreen..... No lag.....

Logcat does not provide enough detail to see what is happening here. But with some common sense....

- I am guessing that most of the weather widget use the google weather service. So if more weather widgets cause lag, we can conclude that the lag is not really an individual app problem.

- If more weather widgets cause this, the problem has to do with the google weather service... But why does this happen on the Vega???? Well it might have to do with the fact that the wifi driver provides lag. Even if we do not have wifi turned on, the google weather service could make some calls to the wifi driver and this way create lag. I am not sure about this.

My question to you is can you check if you have lag with a weather widget (when wifi is turned off). And when the weather widget is removed from the homescreen the lag is gone.

For me the game Tux Rider – Android Edition freezes for a little while when i have a weather widget active (and lags a lot more when wifi is active), but with the widget disabled absolutly no lag. Same with a video (playing from SD).

So please check this.

Thanks
[Vega Android Development] Typhoe:
Yes, the market on the devices is working correctly.

I was more thinking about a problem with the CyanogenMod Roms having the same "id" for both my tablets and thus being seen as only one device by the web market site...

Or simply, as you says, a limit to 3 devices on the market... but my old phone should be the one to disapear in this case... I have not used it for a few weeks...
[Vega Android Development] scanno:
I would think that google will generate an unique ID for each device based on unique device identifiers, like MAC addresses and things like that. Not based on the info in the OS. That would mean that there is a change that there are multiple entries in the market for the same device. The market uses some OS info (like version info) to show the apps that are compatible.

You can see some info about your devices in https://market.android.com/account. Goto the tab settings. The maker and model should be different.

Anyway.... from what you are describing it really looks like a WEB site limitation.
[Vega Android Development] Typhoe:
That's where I looked.

For my tablets, I see a line switching between "MAKER Barns & Noble / Advent" and "MODEL NookColor / Vega".

When I try to rename the device, at the next switch, it's renamed "NICKNAME Unnamed Device" again...

So a market limit it seems...

Thank you for your answer.
[Vega Android Development] rvdgeer:
Sorry, bu I really don't have the time to perform the tests you suggested...

But I do want to point something out...

As far as I know, almost all ROMS for the Vega so far are in some way based on the stock Advent Vega ROM...

The latest version for this ROM is 1.09

However, Point of View's latest stock ROM version number is 1.10 (for quite some time now)!

According to the changelog, the WiFi driver has changed in this latest release...

Are we using the latest version of the WiFi drivers in CM7?

(If I'm way off here, please correct me! ;))
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
just posted a new nightly... sorry for the delay - i had other plans, that i didnt achieve unfortunatly. so i will update you with nightlies more regularly again.

camera is working now and a lot of stuff changed in cm7 sources
[Vega Android Development] scanno:
Thanks for the update. Sorry that you did not achieve your plans. Will check the new nightly when i am back home from work and as soon as the family gives me time to do so :o

Do you know of any changes in the CM7 sources that is worth looking into after installing the new nightly?
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
bumble bee just told me about a new kernel with overclocking (and of course tun inside this time) - once i get it, i upload #6 - since overclocking is overawesome...

sure, its not tested yet on big scale - but if it gives problems, you can go back to #5

edit: 1,4ghz is maximum stable - am excited to test. dont use OC on my phone, but on vega with more than double battery power - why not (:
[Vega Android Development] Northern-Loop:
This thread is making me want to buy a Vega!
[Vega Android Development] ed.dark:
I can confirm the same behaviour here.....
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
big update coming in matter of an hour... full hardware decoding + overclocking... weeeeee
[Vega Android Development] zeussn:
With that fixed what's left between us and the official nightlies ??
[Vega Android Development] jps1974:
Sounds great, thanks! Looking forward to giving it a spin :D
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
bluetooth!

well - about an hour - of course the first test didnt work perfectly - i should be more careful with ETA's - but i am looking forward to oc and hw decoding as much as you do and am excited in same degree

edit: details on bluetooth: its a complicated matter, since nvidia handles bluetooth different to other devices. you need patched bluetooth tools (bluez) and probably more. since its pretty unimportant for most people (including devs) but in same degree complicated to solve, its unsure when it will be solved. yet its a show stopper for official nightlies.
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
nightly #06 up:

#06 / 23.04.2011

-As usual, updated to latest sources before building

-new kernel: reintroduced cifs and added missing tun for openvpn

-added basic hw decoding. up to 1080p with h263 / h264 encoded files.

no overclocking yet - it should work, but it doesnt - but for all the other changes, i thought it was worth an upload (:

edit: after a very short test run, it seems all lags have gone. I played a video with software decoding via network on my minimal Dev rom, and had no lags at all. restoring my full rom now to make sure (:
[Vega Android Development] johnw230873:
The CPU overclocking is working for me using CPU master.
[Vega Android Development] scanno:
That is great. I but sadly with me the lag is still there. I am interested to hear what your edperience is when you have restored your full ROM. Perhaps it is time to do a complete fresh install... Let us know.

On tuesday i will test openvpn again to see if everything works now that tun module is included.

Overall i have the feeling that it is smoother. But offcourse it could be the placebo effect.
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
wtf? it does? tested both set cpu and cm internal...

edit: also tested cpu master free ... no way to over clock for me. how did you do it?

Morsed by hitting a plastic pipe with my Desire HD. Excuse typos.
[Vega Android Development] corvus:
In setcpu have you tried with a custom freq file? This is the way i did in Corvus5.

Take the file in the corvus5 thread (setcpu.txt) and use it in setcpu with the bottom button. Dont select tegra.

Corvus
[Vega Android Development] 71baker:
Hardware Decoding is the keyword here !! I am flashing this NOW , great stuff MadMurdock!!
[Vega Android Development] ed.dark:
It does seem smoother with and without wifi on. will try with a weather widget too. Reckless racing still stutters though....
[Vega Android Development] ed.dark:
which video encoder do you use m^2?

I get an error with h 264 - sytem player cannot play this video....
[Vega Android Development] 71baker:
Is the HW decode only working for 1080p stuff?

Tried Xvids , Mp4's and all the other files that work fine in for instance Corvus , nothing plays. 8(
[Vega Android Development] bl1nky:
Arse, was just getting used to Corvus5. Been using cm7 since tabtweaks. Will give this a whirl n see what difference the oc makes :D loving the tabtweaks, Murdoch yer a star :p
[Vega Android Development] jps1974:
Same here, unfortunately :(

OC seems to work though using setcpu.txt from Corvus! 4145 in Smartbench 2011 :)
[Vega Android Development] johnw230873:
I must joint you with wtf, it was working then all of a sudden the sliders stopped working????

I've done a fresh install of you rom and the sliders just wont go up. I'm going to try a full format of the sdcard and reinstall of your rom to see if they come back.

Update: figured it out, the sliders don't work very well, to over clock place your finger at the left of the slider and then slowly swipe to the right, once you get to the end the slider should go max (no in between).
[Vega Android Development] Dyonas:
I used the custom setcpu txt file from the new Corvus5 ROM and it happily went to 1.4GHz.
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
lag discovery

all "tests" done watching a divx encoded HDTV movie via a cifs mounted network share via rock player software decoding.

Dev rom (only cm7 and about 5 apps to test things): 2/10 snails

Normal rom (lots of stuff installed and running in background like beluga and k9): 8/10 snails

Normal rom - disabled background transfer: 4/10 snails

Normal rom - disabled background transfer + droidwall (disabling all but kernel network access): 2/10 snails

conclusion

lags seem to be created by background apps using internet connection.
[Vega Android Development] scanno:
That seems to support my findings. Thats great that you also have that conclusion. The question is how come that the apps using the internet connection cause the lag. It seems to me that some apps even create the lag even when there is no internet connection (i.e. Wifi switched off, but sync and background data enabled).

Anyway are there some things that i can so besides the logcats that i posted before ??
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
i guess we know where to look now...

btw: currently building nightly #07 with fixed hw decoding...

edit:

nightly #07 up

hw decoding working now for real for the mentioned codecs. tested with a 720p 3gp file.

also note the 2 attached files on first post - setcpu.txt and vega-phone-removal.zip - if you dont have gsm, use this removal zip after each nightly - it saves battery

pershoot mentioned a patch which might put an end to the lag issue - but not tested yet... pershoot also mentioned how to get setcpu working without setcpu.txt - but that might take some days to merge
[Vega Android Development] bl1nky:
#07 installed and a few reboots. It feels quicker but I don't have widgets. Smartbench11 scores 4255 :D but doesn't play my mkv's, no big deal right now :)
[Vega Android Development] iulipepe:
codec

Hi

H264 coded works in browser for HTML5 ?
[Vega Android Development] mingoid:
Hi mad-murdock, I wonder if you could tell me what screen size this rom reports itself to be? I'm trying to develop for xlarge (the vega is 10.1 inches so should be that) but it seems to be showing "large" resources.

Thanks
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
#08 / 25.04.2011

-new kernel: updated to 2.6.32.39,

-much smoother kernel & wifi not creating any more lag

-bt working

-overclocking now works via settings->cm settings->performance->cpu settings

-setcpu works without need for "workaround txt file" anymore

-background activity can still create lags. but at least wifi activity doesnt anymore.

official nightlies inc! - we got bt running (: this is probably the last nightly i build...
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
after watching logcat for a while during video playback i located the last lag source...

unfortunatly, its my fullscreen handling of tt1.

scanno already mentioned it - but i didnt think the related code creates so much cpu load - but apperently it does.

i guess i know a way around it, but its getting bright outside - i should sleep now (:

i got no idea why the encore and harmony users didnt report such behavior - but on vega its for sure the fullscreen handling.
[Vega Android Development] claudekenni:
Finally bt working. Got to test it now
[Vega Android Development] JLowe:
Does these Roms work with devices who have internal 3G/Gps?
[Vega Android Development] serialkillazzs:
Has the newer pov v1.10 wifi driver been hacked in,or is it not possible.
[Vega Android Development] serialkillazzs:
Great to hear Bluetooth working and hopefully lag.

Looking forward to rc's
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
yes! its enabled by default. just dont flash the vega-phone-removal.zip (:

no rc's no stable. at least not until cm7.1. we are to late to get stable status for cm7.0. which is a relief since i dont have to fix your reported issues then (like: make volume button always toggle media if no gsm. make gsm symbol disappear when no gsm) - dont deny you would report those issues (:

but look here: http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=vega
[Vega Android Development] mattykellyuk:
Great does that mean a new forum I need to follow or will this change to the official forum on XDA?
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
varies from device to device depending on devs.

i.e. i am a xda guy - got ~20 posts on cm forum. bumble is no forum guy anyways, but fun_ is around here.

so on this thread will be most discussion i guess.
[Vega Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Viewsonic Viewpad 10s with Huawei EM770W 3G module

Installed latest cm_vega_full-56 after full wipe of data, cache and dalvik-cache.

Wifi doesn't find any network (usually I see 5 to 6 in my apartment)

3G shows only disabled, found no option to switch it on.

Settings->About phone->status shows no network, no signal, no network type and no IMEI.

Obviously this ROM doesn't support my internal 3G module.

How can I get it working?
[Vega Android Development] jps1974:
hi @mad-murdock,

Thanks for #08!

yes, definitely seems smooth!

yep, seems to work, at least I was able to connect my Wiimote, will have to do some testing later :)

Doesn't work for me, the max frequency stays at 1000 no matter what I select. BUT....

...this works for me using auto detect :)

Unfortunately neither GPS nor 3G works for me. As I said before, I have a POV Mobii that came with built in 3G and GPS module, as far as I know it has a Huawei EM770W built in. I haven't opened it up yet so I can't tell for sure, maybe I will later. Looking at the original POV firmware, it comes with gps libraries for huawei and ericsson... here is an extract from /system/etc/shuttle_ins.sh:

if [ -d /dev/nogprs ]; then
echo "no gprs support"
cp /system/lib/libgps_tmp.so /system/lib/libgps.so
else
rm /system/lib/libgps.so
fi

if [ -d /dev/ericsson ]; then
ln -s /system/lib/libmbm-gps.so /system/lib/libgps.so
fi

if [ -d /dev/huawei ]; then
ln -s /system/lib/libhw_gps.so /system/lib/libgps.so
fi
[Vega Android Development] jps1974:
One more thing... HW decoding doesn't really seem to work. I can only play videos with Rockplayer or VPlayer - the built in Video player, as well as mVideoPlayer, can't seem to play any videos I tried.

I don't want to give only negative feedback or appear ungrateful, so: apart from those few things, this rom works great and I love the tablet tweaks, especially the bottom statusbar. Thanks! :D
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
thats... odd...

official nightlies should be build same way i did build it.

seems like this patch: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/4840 got merged AFTER the nightly was build. that should explain the wifi issue.

did gsm work for you with my builds?

edit: re-added my build 08 again to first post, until next official nightly is build with fitting kernel
[Vega Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Hallo Murdock, schläfst Du eigentlich nie? :D

Tried a very early nightly and 3G was not working. Can't remember if WiFi was working at that time.

My 3G card seems to have no GPS, so cannot say anything about this.

Will try your 08 build and report.
[Vega Android Development] add.thebad:
Definatly seems alot smoother now haven't encountered any annoying lay yet!

Nice to see Bluetooth and official nightlys!

Just a note, but y don't we have the nice crt screen off animation I love that on my phone?
[Vega Android Development] harmohn:
Just wanted to congratulate & thank mad-murdock and others in getting the vega to official nightlys! :)

I'll wait for #57 wrt the kernal etc :rolleyes:

Great job!
[Vega Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Flashed 08 build.

Wifi is working now.

Still 3G is not working. The signal bar icon shows no signal and an x over it, which seems that GSM/2G/3G is disabled. Cannot find any option to enable it.

When I select Airplane mode, then I just get "Disabling wireless connections..." and nothing happens. The menu "Airplane mode" is grayed out.

Any idea how to get the 3G to switch on?

Anybody with a different 3G card got this working?
[Vega Android Development] rbensch:
My build in huwai card does not work too.
[Vega Android Development] Logseman:
Does the official nightly status mean that we can get ROMs through ROM Manager now?
[Vega Android Development] Bumble-Bee:
All you users with 3G cards

this is next on the TO DO list, although work may be a lil slow as neither me or mad has a device with a 3G card :D
[Vega Android Development] Dyonas:
Great to see we're now in the official builds :D I originally bought my Vega for the mods done by Paul over at MoDaCo, never expected CM7 to be coming for it so this is an added bonus.

A quick question to those using the newest nightly builds. Does the theme picker work? I can launch it on the build I'm running which was before it went to official but there's only the default theme to pick from and I absolutely detest the orange scheme. Cyanbread .... need...... I know it'd be a very low priority fix but I can't express enough how much I hate the orange.
[Vega Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Hey, you or Murdock come here to Japan, I give you free b&b while you fix the 3G problems. Fast internet here and good Sushi.

Hope you are not to afraid of a leaking nuclear power plant 200km north of here.

Seriously, take your time, I am happy with my own ROM for now. Can wait until you find a solution.

If there is anything I can do to test and try, just let me know.
