[Vega Android Development] fun_:
my quick review for #03.

my install procedure: erase /boot /system, factory reset (wipe /data /cache), then install #03 zip, install gapps-0307 zip.

lag some secs after resume is happened. (on my images, another strange behaviour is happened after resume ;) but I can't see other lag yet.

some times wifi off/on is needed after boot, and after resume. (on my images, it doesn't happen)

market works fine.

video playback is not so good (as expected).

camera work after "echo set28h > /proc/gpio", or after suspend/resume (as expected).

Hi - thanks for this great ROM.

I am having trouble playing h.264 videos that I have encoded specifically for the Vega and play fine on the other ROMS (Modaco, Corvus, VeganTab etc.)

Is there an issue with hardware accelerated video playback on CM7 or is there some app that I need to install?

Thanks,

shrub
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
There is no hardware acceleration on this rom
[Vega Android Development] purkybum:
CM7 stable same as #03?

Hi All,

Excuse my newby stupidity, feel free to mock me (but please point me in the right direction!)

In this forum people are discussing performance of #03 as in:

http://murdock.snipanet.com/cm_vega_full_b03_teamdesire-20110410-2111.zip

But there are references here and the nook forum that it has been "Merged" with CM7. Does this mean that the latest CM7 stable for Encore from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version will contain the same features? Are they infact the same thing now? Or is there a difference?

If anyone knows a good thread that will bring me up to speed on ROM merging etc to make more sense of this i would appreciate it.

Thanks

I.A.O.
[Vega Android Development] rvdgeer:
If I look here, there's still no official build listed for the (Advent) Vega...
[Vega Android Development] purkybum:
@rvdgeer

glad its not just me that was a bit puzzled by that.

I think the CM7 version is the one for encore here, http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=encore but that still leaves the question, what is the difference?!
[Vega Android Development] shrubbery:
Is video hardware acceleration planned for this ROM?
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
no, we don;t have the required items from Nvidia, because they are not supporting beyond 2.2
[Vega Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
No internal 3G card support

Sorry if this was answered before, but I tried search and found nothing.

I have a Viewpad 10s with internal Huawei 3G card. Last build #03 has no option to active the card and shows always no signal in the notification bar.

3G internal cards not supported yet?
[Vega Android Development] shrubbery:
So Nvidia are supporting 2.2 and 3.0 but not 2.3?
[Vega Android Development] add.thebad:
no, for the harmony board that is in the vega they are not supporting the above 2.2
[Vega Android Development] Budius:
Although this ROM is not there yet, after my stock+addon started to failing, I decided to change to it and just applied the updates on top.

for sure there are much improvements with the whole LAG and Market issues we've seen on the previous versions; but I would like to address an issue that didn't used to happen in the stock and it's happening on this and some other ROM I've tested before (I guess it's modaco r8).

Some application simply refuse to scale properly.

Up to now I found 'Google Reader', 'Gmote' and 'Smartbench2011' apps in some of their activities are kept in a small (phone sized) square in the middle of the screen.

important to note that Smartbench2011 not scaling correctly leads to false benchmarking results simply because is much easier for the processor to calculate all those GL-tests and fractal tests in a 400x320 then in a 1024x600

I would very happy when the developer crack this up.

despite that, keep on the good work, things are running much smoother now!!
[Vega Android Development] Bennji:
Any news on flash, still not working for me :-(
[Vega Android Development] Budius:
here it's working normally.

Just installed from the market and that's it!
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
interesting... so the smoothness of both roms is about the same...

if you try this corvus 0.5 rom - its VERY smooth - but then, its 2.2 and all the prop files are for 2.2 - thats probably the issue here...

same thing - 2.2 prop files dont work with 2.3.3

thing is, we dont have official nightlies yet - since we have stuff to fix. so no RC's, no stable release - just nightlies for now. once we sorted out all issues like bluetooth, camera etc etc, we will get nightlies, and i dont have to build them anymore.

gief proprieatary filez (:

flash works here - cyanogen fixed that 10.2 issue weeks ago.

btw: nightly 04 is in the oven - probably fixing some stuff - bumble bee did some work..
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
fixing cwm 3.0.2.4 atm - camera should work on boot, and we got new init system now... as soon as it runs, i upload and go to bed.
[Vega Android Development] todd69:
Looking forward to it, really appreciate the work you put into this, makes the Vega a great device.

recovery_vega_3024_teamdesire.img md5sum: 2f178e92fe317aa2148593c3e7188319

please test - but use with care - it seems to fully work, but i didnt test backup/restore yet - just flashed roms with it and checked everything partition related...

easy way to install: (should work)

adb push recovery_vega_3024_teamdesire.img /sdcard

adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery_vega_3024_teamdesire.img

different way: (i used that)

i used this guide to get fastboot working (caution, you dont have a working kernel then anymore until you flash a new rom)

and then issued

fastboot.nv -i 0x955 flash recovery recovery_vega_3024_teamdesire.img
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
its 3:30 am here and 2:30 am at bumble bee - we still got bootloops with the new system. so no new nightly today.

the good side is - next nightly will probably have bluetooth and camera working.

gotta catch some sleep now

edit: good news everyone - we will have official nightlies soon!
[Vega Android Development] MarkyG82:
That is indeed good news. :-D
[Vega Android Development] inberno:
Thank You for your work!!!
[Vega Android Development] Logseman:
Thanks for your really hard work!

If the nightlies become offiçial, does it mean we can update the Rom with Rom manager?

Enviado desde mi GT-I9000 usando Tapatalk
[Vega Android Development] DiamondGar:
Cheers for the hardwork on this its appreciated. Hopefully we can have a slick fully working CM7 in the future.

I have switched to Corvus just now which is really nice and quick, (im still in flashoholic mode on my new device). The lack of drivers for gingerbread seems like it could make this a real uphill struggle for you guys, so it's much appreciated by all here.

Hopefully Nvidia pull their head out their arse and release some drivers but doesnt seem like that will happen unless one of the manufacturers really pressures them :(
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
good point - i never use rom manager to upgrade - but yes, i gotta talk to koush about cwm 3.0.2.4 for rom manager anyways - then i can also discuss that auto update issue. but short answer: yes, that should work...

well, cm7 got gingerbread issues on most devices. gingerbread - though a great release (faster, more stable, optimized dalvik) is kinda dead from distributors point of view - they either use froyo or wait for ice cream ... that suxx - and to be honest, this whole proprietary-binary-files policy suxx - more and more distributors bypass the kernel gpl by using bigger and bigger firmware files and shrinking the drivers more and more... but who are we to blame them?
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
wow! huge progress! nightly 04 seems to be perfect - seems like lags are gone/much better, and bt + cam should work on boot - still figuring out some stuff, but bumble bee, fun and me worked together on irc - and the result is stunning - compared to build only 1 week old...

tested lags quick with rock player, which usually stuttered every few seconds for a short while, and now nearly doesnt stutter at all - lets do more tests once everything works and i uploaded a new build for you (:
[Vega Android Development] add.thebad:
good stuff! allways like an update :P

whats left on the to do list now?
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
just as the desire - but i would wait for #04 with many improvments...

whats left? debugging bluetooth and camera...

in case you test cwm3 and are stuck on recovery (while rebooting):

adb shell erase_image misc
adb reboot

not sure yet, if its an overall cwm issue or just connected to wierd stuff we do.
[Vega Android Development] dazzlet:
When is the new version expected to be available?

What is the latest cmw for the vega and where can I get it from to flash?
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
added this to first post:

proofed very well working now - did several installs and restores... reboot issue fixed

clockworkmod 3.0.2.4 for vega

recovery_vega_3024_r2_teamdesire.img md5sum: 73f4c5c09188b3fe83d46e51dc88c678

recovery_vega_3024_r2_teamdesire.img additional mirror

install:

adb push recovery_vega_3024_r2_teamdesire.img /sdcard

adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery_vega_3024_r2_teamdesire.img
[Vega Android Development] dazzlet:
So is this the version 4 then thanks? Or is this the recovery?
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
just the recovery. you can still use the old recovery (2.5.0.4), this is just a bonus, since we used an outdated recovery until now...

uploading 04 atm... bluetooth and camera are still not working - we are on it, but for now decided to take a break... it got lots of other internal improvments yet - it is more lagfree for me... even though i need more usage-testing over develop-just-one-click-and-reboot-testing
[Vega Android Development] Logseman:
You forgot the name of the file after the /sdcard ^^
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
The new recovery can be flashed from the vega itself too, just place it on the sd card (rename to recovery.img for ease)

open terminal emulator app

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

and wait for it to finish
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
no, i didnt (:
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
build #4 added to first post. have fun testing - check the changelog about whats new... thanks to fun_ and bumble-bee for improving this a lot - again!
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
sure - its absolutly the same as the adb command does. yet experience shows, for one people prefer adb commands and for another, the more professional users figure out how to leave adb on their own - like you did (: so i leave these instruction on first post with adb
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
lol thanks, the instructions were aimed at new users really not you :D

Thanks for your work, downloading #4 now
[Vega Android Development] add.thebad:
new recovery worked fine for me. downloading #4 now
[Vega Android Development] add.thebad:
can definatly recognise a speed improvement. it is much nicer to use now

still no bluetooth or camera

thanks for the good work

Posting a bug:

Airplane mode icon still always showing in status bar.

Would be nice to have all phone stuff taken out and change where it refers to phone to tablet.
[Vega Android Development] add.thebad:
was just thinking what happened to the cool screen off thing that would be nice?
[Vega Android Development] bob1369:
love this rom what about a force full screen button eg hide status bar button but constantly shown and operational
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
why that? doesnt the smart little auto hide button have issues for you?
[Vega Android Development] serialkillazzs:
Is home button recent apps toggle working without people using button savior
[Vega Android Development] dazzlet:
i am unable to get my laptop to find my device to use with adb even tho i have the drivers all installed and set up as it should be when i do adb command with the vega powered on and usb debugging enabled i do the command adb devices and there aint any devices shown in the list so i dont know why

so i was trying to use terminal emulater as suggested but i get

error scanning partitions

so i dont know how i can flash the cmw now any help will be greatly appreciated so i can install this rom thanks
[Vega Android Development] serialkillazzs:
UPDATE 13 APRIL 2011

A lot has been read into a very short post about a Tegra development kit. I'd like to clear up a few points.

First, nothing changes in what we’re delivering to the open source community or customers. NVIDIA will continue to post the Tegra kernel to kernel.org and publish our Android code to our public git servers. Additionally, we will continue to make our BSP (codecs, GPU driver etc) available to all our hardware partners. We will continue to do this and nothing about these processes has changed.

For our partners' Android devices, NVIDIA provides support until the hardware partner chooses to no longer support the device. So, for instance, NVIDIA will support the Xoom on all versions of Android Motorola requests until Motorola ceases to support the Xoom. The same goes for ViewSonic with the G-Tablet, Notion Ink with the Adam, Acer with the Iconia, LG with the Optimus 2X and so on.

In relation to my original reply, that was a response to a specific question about a Tegra 250 Development Kit. Given the confusion, we will work with owners of Tegra 250 Development Kits individually to determine their needs. The term "Harmony" is an internal codename for the Tegra 250 Development Kit. It is not a tablet reference design. Each shipping tablet is a custom design with varying hardware components and requires a custom OS image from the OEM who made the tablet.

Finally, while we cannot support or give out third party peripheral drivers or provide the Android 3.0 source before Google does, we do want to explore whether we can assist the open source ROM makers. We will be reaching out to them today.

Wee update on nvidia driver stance
[Vega Android Development] dagrim1:
So how is speed now compared to for example Corvus roms?

I know about the lack of hardware acceleration, but is this only used in videos or also in the UI? Very tempted to give it a try, again :P
[Vega Android Development] add.thebad:
its alot better now but ive not used corvus in ages so cant compare
[Vega Android Development] add.thebad:
open a root explorerGo to Root Explorer and check system/bin or system/xbin for a flash_image file.

if you dont have 1 you need one and ill upload 1
[Vega Android Development] dazzlet:
No I don't have any flash_image file there is nothing in system/bin or system/xbin that resembles a flash_image file

So is that why I am unable to flash the cmw with terminal emulator on my device ?
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
to be honest, cyanogenmod is the only rom i know of, which has not a totally screwed up userland (userland=shell commands) - in fact, cm got a VERY nice userland, nice editor, htop, bash, everything working like it should.

all other roms i tested are a total screwup and make you wanna close the shell as soon as you start it and enter first commands. for usual users, thats not important most of the time - yet you just reached the end of your rom! either install cm7 to flash recovery or go the much more complicated fastboot way - i posted instructions a few pages back...
[Vega Android Development] dazzlet:
I'm not sure what cm7 is that I need to install to install the recovery please advise.

I have tried to flash the recovery image from terminal emulator but I get error scanning partitions and I'm unable to get adb to detect my vega to use adb commands so I seem to be stuck at the moment

[01:26:32] <mad-murdock> weeee!
[01:26:34] <Bumble-Bee> yay
[01:26:36] <mad-murdock> i can see myself!

Sounds good! didnt think it would see official nightlys but im pleased to. thanks bumble bee and murdock u guys rock!
[Vega Android Development] add.thebad:
try putting the attatched file in system/bin and system/xbin then try and flash again

and yeah i think this is why it wont work

when u enter

su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

it looks for the flash_image command so if its not their it cant run it.... at least i think :p

edit

o yeah extract first
[Vega Android Development] dazzlet:
thanks its working now lol it has installed and i have just sent the command reboot recovery so i will find out if the recovery image is installed and if it is then i can flash this rom whoooo

can i ask are all the phone apps still in this rom for the time being or have they been removed already or what thanks
[Vega Android Development] add.thebad:
no their still on their. i just removed them to try and save some battery as my battery stats showed them a the biggest juice eater
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
thanks thebad - added your instructions to first post for poor souls with a bad userland
[Vega Android Development] dagrim1:
Ok, flashed 04 last night and gave it a little spin... It is pretty smooth indeed but still not quite as smooth compared to corvus rom (which I'm using now again).

There still was some lag after starting up and coming from standby imo and adding widgets made it also a tad more noticable (as well as restoring apps from titanium backup seemed a bit slower).

Lack of bluetooth and/or camera are no issue at all so featurewise it is very complete for me. At the moment I just don't feel like 2.3 adds too much over 2.2 for me to give up the feeling of speed I have with the corvus rom.

Still, great work and please don't see this post as negative comment for it is not meant like that. It is amazing what you guys have achieved!
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
personal opinion coming up - dont you judge me (:

first of all, when gingerbread (2.3.1) hit the streets and cm did not have any cm features yet, the result was same for all devices (about 20 at that time) - its ****ing fast and beats the **** out of even the most tuned froyo roms for the same device. the reason is/was simple - though gingerbread lacked huge user interface improvments, it had a lot of internal stuff made better. i.e. optimized dalvik vm with more instructions, different gfx handling for smoother scrolling etc etc.

well, it personally hurts me, things are different on vega. not because of gingerbread, but because of nvidias proprietary files. so i hope to change the situation (and in big parts already did)

now the bit more offensive parts - dont take them personally:

startup always takes its time - and you cannot take the time for it in account. if you adb logcat during boot, you see a ****load of stuff is happening at that time. iirc gingerbread does more stuff here for changed dalvik. so just ignore that part for ANY lag discussion.

same goes for screen on. i agree that might be an issue, but its a minor issue imho. question is, how does the rom behave while using? how often do you boot anyways?

and about 2.3.3 not adding anything over 2.2 - well - if you talk about cm7 with 2.3.3 you really cannot be serious. did you ever take 30 minutes time and look at the features cm7 got? check settings->cm settings, settings->profiles, settings->application->development, phone->settings, contacts->settings and probably more i forgot. if you got no time, take a quick look at the changelog. also cm7 is the first rom totally themable with the t-mobile theming engine - there are already a lot of themes out there on xda or the market. you dont need to modify framework files anymore, just apply a new theme, thats it.

furthermore, when i nandroid restore corvus for development reasons, i get very very fast annoyed by the soft buttons of it. corvus for sure is a great rom - i wont mock it - its fast and stable - but comparing it feature wise to cm7 is like comparing chuck norris to jean claude van damme
[Vega Android Development] kinkade:
possibly the best rom analysis ever.
[Vega Android Development] serialkillazzs:
Hows bluetooth going any joy yet
[Vega Android Development] scanno:
Installed 04 and it feels again smoother (compared to 03). The camera app FC's on my pov mobii, so am not able to test the working of the camera. Flashed over 03 without wipe. I did clear the data in Settings->Applications and with Titanium, but that did not have any effect.

Video stutters a bit less, but it is still there (as expected without nvidia drivers). Wifi seems to connect faster then before (could be a placebo effect :-) )

Still some lag there now and then (and i do not mean right after boot or on wakeup), but it is less than 03.

Really like the progress :-)
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
we now know very exactly what's the matter. in short, nvidia handling bluetooth its own way, needing modified user land tools. since the base tools are under gpl, the released their modifications on a git repository.

still a lot of work to do, but we will get it done... no eta given

since its the last hardware missing, we obtain official nightly status once this is sorted out.

Morsed by hitting a plastic pipe with my Desire HD. Excuse typos.
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
hey, sorry for misunderstanding. camera is fixed in development, not yet in nightly... maybe next nightly, maybe combined with bluetooth

Morsed by hitting a plastic pipe with my Desire HD. Excuse typos.
[Vega Android Development] scanno:
I guess it was my misunderstanding. Am not using the camera, was just testing if it works... ;)

Keep up the good work...
[Vega Android Development] dagrim1:
No judgment or offense at all, on the contrary I want to thank you for the extended reply!

Let me comment on some parts, again all garnished with personal preference and opinions ;)

About startup/unlocking lag. I understand and although I don't reboot often (I do shut it down every evening) the issue of quickly picking it up to search for something on the internet is just a bit less fluent when it lags a bit more after waking it up and turning it on. Nothing extreme and perhaps for most people hardly worth mentioning but I'm one impatient bastard and if I have to wait 5 seconds longer it matters ;)

In general use it is indeed very fluent...

Also, my use of this rom is based solely on the use of my pov mobii/advent vega. As such probably a part of the extra options in cm+2.3 (contacts stuff, phone stuff) are not all that relevant to me. I did look into various options and settings, but again... in combination with the vega without 3G I don't use that many of them. I have no insight on underlying management of 2.3 compared to 2.2...

I admit that my post was purely based on my own use of the vega, I should have made that more clear and I understand that simply the 2.3 base introduces a number of these things.

To conclude, for my current use the tradeoff is in favor of Corvus, for now. I WILL come back to CM7 in the near future for it surely is a great rom. Next time I should be more careful in my wording and/or explain myself better..
[Vega Android Development] mad-murdock:
nah - it absolutly pretty okay - and gave me the opportunity for a chuck norris analogy :D

boot up doesnt count (really), but we will look into the power up lag once all other important stuff is solved. power up lag doesnt appear always to me - only in like 20% of power up cases.
[Vega Android Development] dagrim1:
Haha, fair enough... And hey, to be honest, nothing compares to chuck norris ;)
