Sweet! I now use CPU Master Free and my Vega now lags far less. It's still a little slow, but certainly usable!

My settings are 700-1200MHz, performance scaling.
[Vega Android Development] C64c:
Excellent! That worked. I switched default zoom to "close". Thank you.
[Vega Android Development] austinchimp:
I hope that Flash gets fixed on this rom soon - that's the only thing that's currently stopping CM7 from being a keeper on the Vega.

Does anybody have any idea what it is that's preventing Flash from working?
[Vega Android Development] geekyhawkes:
Flash is an odd one, i installed it off the market, thought why not try and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. Im guessing the guys are just trying to work out why.

As an aside, could i request that the next rom has usb host mode as default please? Or if its not too much work maybe one with it as default and one without?

Thanks
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
the flash 10.3 in the market is very very buggy anyway, its best to use a 10.2 version to get the most reliable results. I am however yet to test this on honeycomb but I fear it will be the same, sometimes it works sometimes it won't.
[Vega Android Development] Dyonas:
I'm going to ask again in the hopes that it will be a solution that's easy to do but my messages tend to get buried quickly. Is there a way to get predictive text working on the default Honeycomb keyboard? It worked in the Beta 1a release and hasn't worked since with the only suggestions being contact names.

Before anyone suggests using alternative keyboards I have a few and can use those but the default one is larger and easier to type relatively quickly on for me so I prefer it. Hopefully someone can give me a solution and put me out of my misery :P
[Vega Android Development] sebm:
I know this is a suggestion for an alternative keyboard, but it's a brilliant one on the Vega:

have a look for "Hacker's Keyboard" - really, really brilliant - and fully customizable size of keys too, with full number pad, and all the special keys ever! Absolutely awesome :)
[Vega Android Development] Dyonas:
I'm giving it a go now. Looks a bit cluttered for my liking but if I can't get the default one working it'll work so thanks for the suggestion!
[Vega Android Development] daymo:
Flash works without too many problems on corvus5 rom for me, so I can access the Lovefilm player perfectly, if this rom can produce the same then I will come back to it in a flash...keep up the good work though folks, you are the only reason I opted for the vega!
[Vega Android Development] retaliator:
With my tab only works in terminal:

su

reboot recovery_2
[Vega Android Development] Avalun:
Hi,

Thanks for the really cool Rom, I like it very much, I could get my USB NTFS Hard Drive mounting but alle File Browser regornize the Directories as Files, so I can't get access to the Files in there.

I searched the web but couldn't find anything, somehow no one is as crazy than me :D . Do you have a hint for it?

Thanks in advance,

Devzero
[Vega Android Development] fracmo2000:
I keep checking this post/youtube for updates on this rom...1.5.2 looks almost perfect. I dont actually have this tablet, its my sisters, so just installed Corvus5 and she is happy!

Keep up the great work, if you wasnt for you guys the vega would of been doa.
[Vega Android Development] twistywizard:
I appreciate this is BETA, but speed wise (Not stability) how does this compare to the 2.2 Corvus ROM?
[Vega Android Development] Logseman:
Speedwise it is comparable to Corvus5, and superior to CM7, though I haven't tested its last builds. It is really fast, though you have to play a bit with the CPU settings (SetCPU, CPU Meter will help) and up the lower bound up to 476 Mhz. Then you'll find the beast.
[Vega Android Development] vimesUK:
Not that I doubt what you have written but I am pleasantly surprised at your noted speed of this ROM.

I had the Corvus one installed and then flipped over to the Fuji as I liked the "look" of that one.

Today I have just installed build 96 of CM7 and I like it, along with the tablet tweaks.

Whilst there are still a couple of issues with this ROM, camera and flash, I would not have thought that it was faster than CM 7 though. Although in what way do you mean faster..? In 3d games etc or just the feel of the responsive nature of the ROM...?

With CM7 and the VTL Launcher I'm using it does feel just as responsive as the Corvus or Fuji ROM.

With the above ROM's I have used I do set the minimum CPU speed to be 216mhz and they have been fine. Do you need to use 476mhz for this ROM to be as responsive..?
[Vega Android Development] Logseman:
I felt VegaComb snappier than CM7 in its normal behavior. I don't play 3D games in the tablet.

However, it may be as well that VegaComb is not so fast, but that it feels faster because it is more intuitive (it makes quite a difference when it comes to a tablet-adapted OS as Honeycomb is). The hardware acceleration hacks are probably filtered into CM7 as well, which may have improved its responsiveness.
[Vega Android Development] rpmccormick:
I find it quite a bit laggy compared to Corvus5. I haven't tried that minimum CPU trick so maybe that will help. Even laggy, honeycomb lags more gracefully then any Android before and the UI benefits make it all worth it. I'm still upset though that the iPad ebay app is awesome, and the Android eBay app even under honeycomb looks like the crappy phone app... but that's only eBays fault.

Speed: 6

Stability: 7 (9 for default apps, but a lot of downloaded apps crash on launch)

Worth it for a better UI for menus and lists and apps built for tablets.

Corvus5 was like Speed: 9, Stability: 9 (Only Angry Birds locks up sometimes, but rarely, all 3 versions)
[Vega Android Development] EazyVG:
Are we expecting an update to this good ROM anytime soon? My Vega is really in need on more stable and faster HoneyComb :)
[Vega Android Development] Avalun:
Perhaps if you send them some coins, that the can buy more cans of red bull :D
[Vega Android Development] wildcat777:
I'll definatly give this Rom ago as soon as flash works,until then the most stable Rom I've used is paul's r8 Rom over at modacco so i'm sticking with that.
[Vega Android Development] Anthrix:
Hi 4 all

i apply patch 1.5.1 to 1.5.2 but in section where is my device information still writing 1.5.1
[Vega Android Development] dmarchant:
The incorrect reporting of 1.5.1 is a known problem.
[Vega Android Development] shingers5:
amazing work! who needs flash for now. the mere fact this is on the device and working as well as it does is amazing. no doubt next imminent release will have flash but for now this will do. on initial flash rom is stodgy and sticks quite alot but once i overclocked to 1.5ghz with set cpu this thing ZINGS! newbe has hinted about an update this week so hopefully by the weekend we will have a fully functional VegaComb build to savour. in next few days i will donate to this WIP as it is such an amazing feat to see where its at now
[Vega Android Development] Bungholio:
Im using the corvus vega rom and its awesome but i cant wait for a fully working honeycomb build, buzzing! (Pun intended)

Can anyone give me a link to set cpu please, i cant find one thats configured for the vega
[Vega Android Development] shingers5:
There is no setcpu especially for vega. Just download from market and tweak speed. Change max to 1500 and set on boot. Reboot your device and should seee a major difference
[Vega Android Development] bob1369:
its beeen said before and ive seen in happen on both my desire and vega using cpu master seems to give better general performance than set cpu and certainly does on benchmarks at the same settings plus cpu governors appear to work with vega on cpu master
[Vega Android Development] Zebwen:
Updated to BETA 1.6.
[Vega Android Development] hudster2001:
Downloading....
[Vega Android Development] daveyacarter:
Just loaded the new rom. Very disappointed with performance as its too laggy for me. Lokking forward to the finished article but its looking good so far. Gone back to corvus rom.
[Vega Android Development] polthong:
Downloading
[Vega Android Development] Anthrix:
For me it much faster then 1.5.2 but one problem with wallpaper then i try to chose from stock it's making force close
[Vega Android Development] Stransky:
Hi

Just updated to 1..6 and very happy so far, only fault I have is, apart from the documented ones, keep getting FC on the launcher screen

and would not connct to WiFi initially, but connected ok on re-boot. Fantastic Rom, it just keeps getting better and better. A crediit to the dev team.

Stransky

[Vega Android Development] Dyonas:
Posting this as I noticed something very unusual while I was downloading the newest version. The tablet was incredibly sluggish so I rebooted and it was still sluggish. I figured I might as well push the CPU speed up to see if that helped and in SetCPU I noticed that despite having it set to 1.2GHz max and 456Mhz minimum it was showing as being at 216MHz!

I don't know what caused it or why it went to a value outside the figures I have but it would definitely point to a definitive reason for all the slowdown and sluggish performance we sometimes get. I have SetCPU set to apply the settings on boot so it wasn't anything like that. I'm waiting for the tablet to wake up currently after flashing 1.6 but it was on the last previous version I noticed this, 1.5.2? Or was it 1.5.3? Whichever it was, that's what happened.
[Vega Android Development] bob1369:
Cpu master is just better on the vega set Cpu is unreliable for some reason
[Vega Android Development] Avalun:
I just installed it, the update worked very well, thanks for it
[Vega Android Development] shingers5:
no matter how much i love this it just dont love me back. set cpu to min 916 mhz and still laggy especially when returning to home screen from another app eg web browser. lag is quite significant but once settled its ok. seems like rom needs to regroup each you do something with it. i also think memory management is an issue hence all the lags and slow downs. after 24 hrs use had to remove as became totally un-usable. net was sluggish, transitions on home screen laggy, slow down was immense. even taskiller couldnt help me i am afraid. youtube was a major plus and worked well. NEED a new kernel for this rom as the one used in this build is not stable enough. wish i was a dev per say as would help
[Vega Android Development] DonDragon:
go to recovery and do fix permissions in the andvance tab, it removed my lagg
[Vega Android Development] Avalun:
What helped for me, is go in the settings -> Running apps and killing the settings tool. Then it is faster again.
[Vega Android Development] Surrido:
hi there,

does anyone know what i can do to get my USB keyboard working on 1.6?

i cannot find a way to do it. I saw on some CFG somewhere that there is something like a "hardkeyboard = 0" or something.

any idea?

thanks!
[Vega Android Development] jayk32:
Thanks for the update, now You Tube is working. Yay :) I haven't had time to give it a proper test, but I think I'll defo stick with this Rom for now!! :)

Cheers Devs, keep up the good work.
[Vega Android Development] Tezray:
This Rom is amazing. If only flashed worked. I can't wait for the next update. If the sound settings force close can you wipe something or is that not working couldn't see anything about it?
[Vega Android Development] Surrido:
anyone an idea concerning USB keyboard? how do i get the vega into USB host mode?
[Vega Android Development] Avalun:
Try holding the Back button during the bootup to VC, check that if you plug a USB Stick in, if it mounts, then try the keyboard.
[Vega Android Development] Surrido:
you mean hold the back button during the entire boot process? wont that put it into recovery mode?
[Vega Android Development] Avalun:
no, only if you have plugged it to your PC then it boots into that firmware-flash-mode If no USB Cable is inserted, it boots into the hostmode and your stuff should work fine.

But as if I wanted to mount my NTFS USB Hard Drive, the Tablet locks completely up, and I needed to do a hard reboot.

Bluetooth works now a step more, I see other devices and can pair, but thats it.
[Vega Android Development] splinter82:
Loving 1.6 so far. Much faster than 1.5.2, and a lot more stable. Have noticed a couple of issues, though:

216mhz problem - still getting this issue, though much less often. For the unaware, the device seems to plonk itself into CPU max / min of 216mhz. CPU Master / SetCPU both seem to exhibit the problem (CPU Master less often) and it seems to happen when the device has been to sleep for a while. A reboot always fixes it.

Wi-Fi disconnect - The Vega doesn't like reconnecting to wi-fi networks when its been to sleep for a while. turning Wi-Fi off / on normally sorts it, or long pressing on the network you want and selecting 'connect', too.

Email causes lag - It might be something else, but it seems that when I have my email set to check at regular intervals the device slows down - a lot - when its checking them and when new mail is received - similar to how Android often does when downloading / installing files from Marketplace.

Do love 1.6 so far though, its proving stable enough to be my everyday ROM now. Yay!
[Vega Android Development] Surrido:
i tried it, but it doesnt boot. i can see the backlight light up and then it goes back off. nothing happens
[Vega Android Development] GStar01:
I have the Tablet, yet 3hours, but i dont geht AUDI.exe working :(

First on Windows XP SP2 and yes i'm Administrator, and also i used the function EXECUTE AS Administrator, nothing, always the error of not enough permission.

After that i used a Windows Vista, but here it's also the same. Help me, what can i do?
[Vega Android Development] GStar01:
Also i have problems with the drivers, the first was no Problem (Advent Vega USB driver- in de special Boot Recovery Menu)

But when i activate the USB Debugin, there is no reaction from Windows, why?
[Vega Android Development] scanno:
I have that also sometimes. Try again, it will work. Press the power button, release and then press the back button. If the screen goes black, try again (it switched off somehow)
[Vega Android Development] andy.mcc:
I am also having the problem where everything appears to flash OK but it doesnt get past a backlit black screen - no bootup.

I have applied the flash 4 or 5 times now with the same result. Tried a different SD card, formatted it in the Vega, updated the ClockworkMod Recovery to 3.0.2.7 and it still has the same result.

One of the first applications worked for half an hour, then I rebooted it and it never came back on. No luck since.

I have left the screen backlit for half an hour at a time and it never comes on, so I dont think I am being impatient!

Is there anything anyone can suggest to get Vegacomb working?

Many thanks

Andy
[Vega Android Development] Surrido:
i have gotten so far that i see the "hard-keyboard" in the bottom right and i can choose whether to use that or the softkeyboard.

however, it doesnt work. pressing buttons on the hard keyboard does not do anything.

any ideas?
[Vega Android Development] Moody:
Try going into clockworkmod and factory reset (or manually wipe /data and /cache).

Sent from my Milestone 2
[Vega Android Development] bob1369:
Same the only build which has worked for me was 1.5.1 and even that only worked once just backlit screen all other times
[Vega Android Development] bob1369:
I and most likely he has already done that
[Vega Android Development] scanno:
I am not saying this will work, but you could give it a try. Flash an original firmware from the advent website. Then install ClockWorkMod and try to install VegaComb again.

Installing an advent firmware will recreate the memory partitions (i think) so it is possible that installing it and then VegaComb will solve your problem. Another option might be a superwipe, but i do not know if there is a version available for the vega.
[Vega Android Development] andy.mcc:
Thanks Scanno - I always have to go back to Advent 1.10 once I have tried this as the Vega is no longer bootable and that is the only way I know how to get it back to functioning. I install the Advent 1.10 flash, then use Vega Tools to install ClockworkMod Recovery (which I updated to 3.0.2.7 after reading a post on this forum that the older version might not work so well) then get into recovery that way, clear all the caches/dalvik etc (thanks for the suggestion Mikevhl, but I have always been doing that) and finally install from zip on SD card.

I get the full installation, right down to the 'thanks for installing Vegacomb' message and then reboot... to backlit black.

Nice to hear others are having the same problem - I thought I had got a duffer!

Strange if we are all wiping caches and taking the machine back to bare bones, that some Vegas react differently to others, or does that suggest there are more remnants of old ROMs in there I cant flush out with those cache wipes/factory resets? Also very interesting that Bob1369 has also got it to run once too, with black screen from then on - exactly my problem.

Lots of chin scratching at this end, but no closer to getting a running installation.

Thanks for your suggestions, unfortunately that half hour with Vegacomb just made me more determined to make it work - it was excellent!

Andy

More info - just tried to install Corvus5 with the same result - backlit black screen of failure...

[Vega Android Development] toine73:
Hello all,

for those who have trouble installing de vegacomb 1.6beta on their PoV MOBii this is what i did:

download Z4Root and put it on a USB stick.

download the 1.6 beta and put that also on the usb stick.

Put your USB stick in the PoV and copy both files to your SD card.

run Z4root apk and root your device.

after root goto settings - software tool - update and install directly for sd card.

No need to do this with ADB.

i flashed it this way and am verry happy with the vegacomb 1.6 beta.

my PoV is blazing fast. No freezes (yet)

some applications force close, but hey, it's Beta!

keep up the good work.
[Vega Android Development] scanno:
I tried it with a A2DP Bluetooth headphone and that worked great. Did not try with normal headphones.
[Vega Android Development] Avalun:
With normal Headphones its still very awful, and the volume control doesn't work too, if you have plugged in the phones, so they get oversteered too. I only tried that a short time because I dont't want them get destroyed.
[Vega Android Development] bob1369:
Weird all other roms work for me like corvus 5 really want to get this fabulous rom running again

Strangely Modaco R8 installs without a problem for me - so I have reverted to that. But still itching to have another go at Vegacomb 1.6 if anyone has any suggestions?
[Vega Android Development] danchappers:
Hi,

I'm currently running Vegacomb 1.6, I have just tried using a 16gb Micro SD card, however it doesnt sheem to get detected on Vegacomb, I have tried formatting to NTFS and FAT32 but have the same issue on both, anyone able to shed any light?

Cheers

EDIT: Ok, so I just partitioned in clockwork and it is now giving me 10gb of the card, certainly a step in the right direction, I may reduce the swap size that may be where the other space is getting taken (or at least some)
[Vega Android Development] GStar01:
Running Fine, only on gmail receive, and youtube App its laggy! Hope a new Version would come soon :)
[Vega Android Development] add.thebad:
works fine! runs lovely ans smooth i think its as smooth as the xoom now!

cheers for all your hard work!
[Vega Android Development] m3tr0g33k:
Amazing!

Been with my vega for less than a month now.

Play, ROM, play more, next ROM and ROM and ROM...

Great platform at just the right price (£200 ukp).

I am now using vegacomb 1.6 all the time. Since my uk retail defy has been upgraded to 2.2 I can use that for iplayer so I can do without it on the vega.

Everything else seems to be working fine and just as fast as the Xoom I tried in the shop and then didn't buy!

Many thanks for everyone's hard work with Corvus (SP1) and VegaComb.
[Vega Android Development] aitsch:
also for viewsonic viewpad 10s?

hi,

does anyone tried one of these roms with viewsonic viewpad 10s?

I plan to order this device. i've read that it is identical with Vega?!

can anyone confirm this?

cheers - aitsch
[Vega Android Development] docck:
You can confirm this yourself because it's similar devices
[Vega Android Development] Dyonas:
I'm having problems with the market lately. I can update any apps I have installed but I can't install any new apps. Any time I try I get a generic "Unable to process purchase" error and that's on free apps. I've tried wiping and reinstalling but that hasn't worked. Any other suggestions?
[Vega Android Development] freddje:
Hi, i can confirm it, im sending this message from a viewpad 10s with honeycomb
[Vega Android Development] wildcat777:
Hey guys,congratulations on a fantastic rom,ive been using it now for a couple of days and its excellent,but i know you need feedback so here are my few gripes.

Once in a while the vega says its shutting down through lack of power even though its got plenty of charge left,when i switch it back on its back to its proper battery level.

No HQ on you tube videos(would be awsome if you could get this working guys)

Flashplayer doesnt work so no Iplayer(but im desprate to keep this rom on my vega so i now use my galaxy tab for all flashplayer required functions)

And thats it really,bar a few little niggles here or there its running sweetly:-)
[Vega Android Development] GStar01:
Sometimes i get these Error, androit.gallery3d was closed.... Why come this?
[Vega Android Development] freddje:
where is the music app? i cant find it!

Edit: i extracted the apks out of the rom, works fine
[Vega Android Development] jimpsar:
any news or eta for vegacomb rc-final??
[Vega Android Development] Quipeace:
hello there,

I received my pov mobii yesterday and the first thing I did was getting rid of the standard software. Vegacomb is running great now, and I was wondering whether there are any plans of including the cifs module to mount smb shares.

Having the module would be great, since I have all my media on a network drive.

I am looking forward to future updates :-D
[Vega Android Development] sbeddoesdesign:
I've used this for a few hours and so far it's running really, really well. It does seem to use a little more memory than it should (I think), I have to keep using my little task killer widget to free up memory, but otherwise problems seem to be minor for a Beta... Camera app force closes, YouTube runs some videos cropped a bit funny (though go full screen and come back and it fixes it).
[Vega Android Development] Dyonas:
Unfortunately I can't keep using this ROM as I have constant issues with WiFi failing to find any APs. It happens more if I reboot which, sadly, I need to do quite often when it locks the tablet up. I know how much work has gone into this and it's really good but these few issues mean I can't use it. The WiFi issue in particular cripples the tablet for me so for now I'm back using CM7.
[Vega Android Development] Anthrix:
Yes. i'm using on viewsonic 10s
[Vega Android Development] Dyonas:
Quoting myself because it may help others with the WiFi issue. I had my router on channel 13 because not many around my area use that and I thought it'd give me a better signal. Unfortunately it also appears to have been the cause of my issues. I turned it to channel 6 and although the tablet still disconnects all I have to do is turn WiFi off then back on and my AP will show up.

I'm still having a few issues with the Market where apps fail to download but I can get around that by downloading to my phone and copying the apk over.
[Vega Android Development] jayisere:
Maybe its not true..but development seems to have slowed on this fantastic rom ,could it be to do with the meeting the rom developer and Paul from MoDaCo.com had with Advent..hmmmm
