[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] saroj405:
I am from India. I may go to Singapore next month. Here in india OTA won't show any new update as it has never gone past 2.3.4

But in Singapore, I think the update for ICS has been released. So I had a doubt if I go there, and just search for update OTA, will I be able to see ICS and be able to update to ICS??
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
Buddy India we also we got ICS just connect your phone to PC and update it using Samsung Kies S/W and in INDIA Galaxy R released with 2.3.5 not 2.3.4..... No OTA Differs from area to area its depends on Phone CSC so you will not get OTA if you go to Singapore ....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] saroj405:
Are you sure that we get ICS in India when we connect to a PC using kies???
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
yes just check it with kies ....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vbz89:
Also, our phone does not get updates with respect to our geographical location.. If you purchased your phone in India, you will have an indian rom by default and kies will search for an update to that rom.. So even if you take your phone to hong Kong or Taiwan it will not update if ics for India is not available...

Since ics is out for india, you can go ahead and update with kies as suggested by mj.vikram buddy:)

From my CM10.1 powered galaxy R
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] pankajramnani:
If we update through Kies, will my phone be affected by the eMMC brick bug? will my phone get bricked by chance? is there any safe way to do it?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
buddy, just dont unpluged the phone when It will be updating. Also, eMMC bug is there in ICS. so after that just install CWM & then install Ardatdat's kernel V4 or higher. it is safe.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
yes off course eMMC Brick bug will be there but it will not effect you until unless you wipe anything from CWM, if you are not using CWM then it will be safe or else you flash Ardatdat's kernel if you are using CWM.....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] pankajramnani:
I've never rooted my phone. So, if I want to just update it through Kies, and then wipe data and factory reset my phone, will it do any harm to it? (considering that there is no CWM & ardatdat kernel is installed). Please tell me the steps to install the kernel as well..

Sorry for bugging you! :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
if you never rooted your mobile and don't want to use CWM forget all the things and just use Kies and update it ICS.....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] pankajramnani:
Thanks a ton!

You are saying that the brick bug won't affect me at all if I am not using CWM, right?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
Yep you are correct....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Adam77Root:
Brick bug won't affect you, but don't do a factory reset! It's like wiping without a secure kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] saroj405:
New firmware found.

Firstly I was shocked to see this new firmware on kies. All these days I was checking on Kies(Mac version) and didn't find any update.

(I am on GB 2.3.5. Never did any customizations on my phone, no rooting, no infected ROM. Nothing. It is as same as it was when I took it)

Now, I find this firmware update on KIES (Windows version) and wanna know if I can go ahead and update this firmware?? Is there any side effect of doing this?

Some one says you cannot factory reset after this firmware. Someone says, nothing would happen.

I am confused. Please help.

P.S: I am newbie and have no clue about CWM or eMMC brick or kernal
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
buddy: just take backup of your contacts & msgs. If it could (it won't but for safety side), then please go ahead. update it. Coz CWM format may harm due to eMMC bug.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] saroj405:
I dunno about CWM and i don't have it on my phone. can you please explain about this and how it would harm due to eMMC bug.

( I ran eMMC brick bug check application on my phone. It is a sane device. )
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
Simply update it & do not think much about these things and for safe side do not wipe data.....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] saroj405:
Error says you require more than 3000MB space.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] random_username:
I've read the threads about CF-Root 6.4 and CF-Auto-Root and I'm aware of their differences.

My point is if I use CF-Auto-Root can I later install custom recovery like (TWRP) because I've used custom recovery on my previous device and I like the simplicity of making backups and flashing custom roms.

Also will there be any incompatibility with using TWRP and Mobile Odin.. I remember reading somewhere that mobile odin can't flash zip files, this is the reason I'm willing to install TWRP

Phone info:

Baseband: I9300XXDLID

Android: 4.1.1 JB (phone came with 4.0.4 used a OTA update)

also my phone and sdcard are encrypted.. should I decrypt them and do a factory reset before rooting?

I can provide more information about the device if needed.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] dedefr89:
Hi guys my problem si that my play with several games Like max payne and GTA vice city reboots after few minute of play. I have 2.3.4 stock rom, unlocked bootloader and rooted. I set no-frills CPU with these settings:

Max freq 1,113 GHz

Min freq 245 MHz

Governor ondemand

I/o scheduler deadline.

Solutions?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] D.Spirit:
It reboots because the RAM gets full when playing those games or any game/app requiers high RAM

Free the RAM before playing

And this is why the free RAM is important, It's not waste
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] RottenFoxBreath:
Try setting it back to stock, before jumping to conclusions.

It may be overheating, it may be as above, or it may just be bad luck.

Memory should clear when needed though, I would assume.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ehmafia:
I have the similar problems with vice city in ics roms. Clearly my prob is that when I play vice city a few minutes (10-15) it quits automatically and return to home screen. I have tried many ics roms (markypton, cm9 based, miui) but it happened in all of these roms. Could anyone knows the solution for this problem in ics. Thanks.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] RottenFoxBreath:
Vice City is a bugged POS though, so wait till they fix it, it reboots randomly on my stock Play, among other glitches.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ehmafia:
OK thanks for the info.
[Vega Android Development] scanno:
[INTRODUCTION]

This ROM is mainly created by Scanno with the help of EJTagle (for kernel work and drivers). This ROM is based on the CM10.1 sources and has the most CM10.1 features included.

Why a CM rom after a couple of AOSP ROMS? Well the main reason is that android 4.2 has a new interface and i do not like it that much. CyanogenMod includes some inteface enhancements that i personally think adds some additional value.

Please remember that I and EJtagle are *NOT* professionals and do this in our spare time. We all have full time jobs and a family. So be happy that there is an Android ROM based on Android 4.2 / JellyBean for a device that was sold with Android 2.2 and never had an update.

We do our best to make this ROM as good as possible. With VegaCream and VegaBean we gave you a ROM that gave a new life to your tablet and unleashed its full potential. But we are not wizzards and there might be problems that we cannot solve or do not have time for.

[FEATURES]

This ROM is an unofficial CM10.1 and has most CyanogenMod features included.

[INSTALLATION]

As you all might know we have very limited internal storage space. So this ROM needs a different internal memory layout. The whole /data partition (where the user data and apps are installed) needs to be on the sdcard.

[SDCARD]

You SDCARD needs to be partitioned the following way:

- First partition needs to be FAT32

- Second partition needs to be EXT4

- Make sure there is NO extended partition

[FLASHING]

The first time you flash this ROM you *HAVE* to flash the NVFlash version to make sure the internal memory is formatted the correct way.

Make sure you have the GApps downloaded and put on your SDCard (see goo-inside.me/gapps)

[NVFLASH]

Download the NVFlash version and make sure your tabet is connected to the power supply and that the tablet is connected to your computer.

Put the tablet into NVFlash mode (by using 2 seconds back key, 2 seconds power key, 2 seconds back key)

Run the NVFlash executable and if everything goed right, the ROM will be flashed.

Reboot the tablet and as soon as the tablet finishes booting, reboot the tablet into recovery mode.

Once in recovery, do a factory reset and then right after that flash the Google apps zip file you downloaded.

[RECOVERY]

Download the zip file and put the file on your SDCARD.

Boot into recovery.

Do a factory reset (or you can try just clearing cache and dalvik-cache).

Flash the zip file.

Right after flashing the ROM, flash the gapps zip file.

Reboot.

[WORKING]

- 3G

- Audio

- Video

- Wifi

- Touchscreen

- Most regular things

[NOT WORKING]

- Bluetooth. Due to the fact that Google has introduced a new Bluetooth stack in 4.2, Bluetooth

*NOT* work. Efforts to get Bluetooth working has ended.

Nice to see, that you are working on a new ROM!

VegaBean ist not running stable. So i will go back to VegaCream!

Pleas go on and don't stop working - so that i have many months fun with my new tablet!

Edit: After a few Test with the older ics Version, i will try to Test ths on. Ich think my 3g Modem is defekt.#

EDIT2: I have try to install this via CWM - First Result: BRICK. I landing in a bBootloop - now i will try to install this via the NVFLASH.

Damn, i flash my tab @Silvester - cause i am ill :)

I will report again

Edit3: After install via NVFLash i Brick the Tablet hard. Try the second time to install an older NVFLASH. No Chance, no way. Whats happen? I have no idea!

Damn i hope - i can fix this problem. but it seems hardly to solve!

Edi4: Try 4 flashs again. But every time its stucking at the point where i attached the picture below. After flashing bevor i do a reboot, is this screen showing me. But i cant read what is standing there on the top!

NEED HELP - PLEASE GIVE ME A SOLUTION... Will not brick my 6 day old tablet.

Edit5: I have start the tablet und forgott it by watching a film. What is happen? I see a screen and the OS.

But: the Problem 1 is: after restarting i have wait 15 minutes that the OS is start up.

Problem 2: The touchscreen isn't working. i cant touch nothing! so i have reflash again

Wait that the alpha is going to be a beta please keep on working!

[ENG] http://www.modaco.com/topic/355021-...t-vega-viewsonic-10s-point-of-view-mobii-ect/

After this i flash this Alpha-Version new. And it is Insane FAST! For an Alpha very, very FAST and faster than the latest Version auf VegaBean. Only One thing is missing: The Playstore!

Now i'll try to Restore this.

In the Future, i'll hope that your work will going on.

FAZIT: THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE ROM - IT WAS ALL MY FAULT! RUNNING VERY FAST AND ITS GOING IN THE RIGHT WAY! But only ONE SMALL bug, in the Craddle its reboot every 5 Minutes...

And shows me the error :"System UI" was accidently stopped ( in German is there standing: "Systen Ui" wurde beendet )

So i'll going back and will wait

Doesn't work.

I have tried flashing this about 12 times. It doesn't work. I have both files the nvflash and also the update. I have been able to flash beta6 just fine. but the nv alpha5 just sits on the boot tried leaving for 30 minutes no change tried over and over again. even tried isntalling beta6 and then doing the update to alpha5 with gapps and just got boot loop. Both of these files dont' work at all or in anyway. Again I have been installing this over and over and over and over and over this simply does NOT work.

Its working But following you have shoud to do:

Frist One:

- Flash The Beta 6 without the SDCARD in the Bay:

- Now Format your SDCard; First Partition FAT32, Secound Partition ext4. All Partition must SET UP as "PRIMARY"

- After this you can Copy the rom.zip on your FAT32 partition.

- Plugin your SDCARD in Tablet's SDBay and Reboot in CWM.

- With CWM you can flash the new ROM Now.

After this the Rom was working fine. Only the Reboots and the UI-Probs was getting on my nervs.

Nice rom.

Installed and tested a little, amazingly fast, without gapps.

Once gapps are installed, I don't know what exactly happens (neither spent the time to find it), but system becomes unusable, extremely sluggish.

I have an 8GB Class10 lexar microsd, 4GB for FAT32 and remaining space for the EXT4.

I have yet to test, but been unable to reboot a couple of times and had to re-flash.

Particularly, on the case related to the sluggish performance, I have done some testing with jellybean and left /data on localstorage, and mounted microsd EXT4 (mmcblk0p2) to /data/app.

After this configuration change, speed came back to normal.

Problem with microsd cards is that they are not designed for random i/o, are between the worst performers on this matter, specially on random writes, typical OS usage.

I believe that the multiple i/o operations happening on /data is causing an extremely high iowait.

Well guys I must thank you I was about to get rid of my Vega when I thought I'll just check xda and see if for the old guy was receiving any updates and vola here is cm10 on 4.1 its great thankyou!!!

Can I get my titanium bkup working on this using my existing data from my jellybean biftor ROM from my galaxy s2? In fact does titanium work with this ROM?

Any help appreciated cheers

4.2 even better :) been playing with it a little tonight and it is a massive improvement! I do have the issues then user above posts with sluggish behavior and random stoppages with the launcher? Can someone give me an overview of what the zram app does on this ROM plz never used it before? It reported an error the first time I started it but its working away now just not entirely sure at what lol

Cheers for any info....
[Vega Android Development] hoppi05:
Hey guys been running this for a few days as you can see above, I must admit and thank you all this has made my tablet usable again so thankyou. I have been collating some logs and test results to try and resolve the sluggish/lag on my device, unfortunately I haven't found a cure nor a real cause for it? I have used a little software to tune the ROM and switch some of the CPU governors etc but to no real avail.

Does anyone have any tweaks I can try to help resolve the lag?

The main area is when the tablet is multitasking it hangs and freezes and prompts to close the on screen app??

I also have my backs from my S2 working on my device via titanium bkup and a point to note is it is extremely slow to restore apps via titanium? Is this down to the SD ext4 again?

Again guys any help appreciated or any other links to another forum where this is been discussed would be great

Cheers

[Vega Android Development] MrGuyFawkes:
I've tested the rom for 2 days now and I can say that I really like the multiuser support now :9

The only problem is that it's a bit unstable, compared when you had aosp before.

It freezes sometimes works slow every now and then and newly installed programs may require a reboot to work properly.

But it's just alpha so what can I say? :)

This rom is good anyway :)

Some Feedback

Hi,

I installed Alpha11 the other day and would like to provide some feedback. Hardware is the Smartbook Surfer 360MN10U (the one with the 3G build in).

First impression is very good. 3g is working, WLAN is working as well. Two very important features ;)

Didn't test GPS so far.

Everything is smooth and reliable. No crashes while installing or using the usual Apps I use.

One problem: the tablet doesn't go in stand-by mode. After reaching the configured time for stand-by, it switches completely off.

Thanks for the nice work. So far the best ROM for this hardware, imho.

@All

Here is alpha 12. This is more of a test build. This includes the new way of using the sdcard. The main storage is now emulated and is using the ext4 partition. This is also used when connecting the tablet to the PC using MTP. The first partition on the sdcard (the FAT partition) is also mounted and located at /storage/sdcard1.

This means that you should increase your ext4 partiton because the main storage is located there. The fat partition can be used when you want to exchange information through the sdcard with a windows pc or when flashing CWM zips. The recovery mounts the first partition and in recovery you can mount the first partition (FAT) to exchange files through the usb port.

The new way also makes sure that when you are using multiple users, the files on the storage cannot be seen by the other users. Also the tablet does not reboot anymore when adding a new user.
