[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gentooguy:
Here is the issue I have run into:

I am currently running Perception 10.2 and Firebird 2 v0.4. Recently background syncing will not happen while I am connect to a specific Wifi. Background syncs work fine while at home on wifi and on 3G.

What makes this specific Wifi unique is its a guest wifi at work and needs authentication with username/password. I normally open a browser and authenticate I am usually good for the day unless i get disconnected for a while. This has worked for me in the past as long as I am authenticated with wifi. I remember this working on Perception 10.1 with the default kernel just fine.

So no gmail or google voice notifications unless I open the specific app (At that point notifications are pointless). Just opening the app seems to trigger a sync and I get new messages, but never until I open the app. Gmail and Google Voice are the only two apps I am noticing, although I am betting Contacts and Calendar are doing the same thing.

So before I start flashing back to stock or another rom/kernel I am looking for opinions. You think they might have changed the wifi on me and blocked something? Seems if they had it wouldn't sync even after opening the app.

:confused:

[UPDATE]

Found out through loading mutliple ROMS including Stock ROM, this must have been a wifi network change. Curse you Wifi Admins!

[Vega Android Development] alphaola:
good job mate. will try it out tho. Hows the responsiveness and smoothness, any comment.
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
in my opinion very nice, I will be completely honest - I have compared this and it is mostly advent adding the newer tegra drivers in, there are other differences and additions too though.

would like some feedback from others on the installer and if its working sweet for them (it is for me)
[Vega Android Development] alphaola:
I will like to try it and give feedback,but am having the best experience of my vega - Web_machines 1.07.5 + mcr 6.
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
Well if the others working good for you then just stay with that, this is just another option
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
If this had a small notifications bar I would be flashing it now. I think I will wait (unless you can add this :P )
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
I couldn't decide which way to go with that, I always used the small notification before, some like it some don't. I'll make an update.zip add on. easily done.

Edit: I want to compile it myself too (framework-res) and not use the other one thats available, gives me more experience if I do it myself.
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
Genius, thanks (I could do it but am incredibly lazy tonight + lets you keep the credit for doing it :) )
[Vega Android Development] dagrim1:
Very nice indeed :)

Waiting for the small notification bar as well though :)
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
Oh and Higsy, please don't tell me you own an android phone and don't use Gmail???!!! if so why the hell not?
[Vega Android Development] wired69:
Thanks Higgsy, will give this a go tomorrow. If you are going to modify this yourself, would it be possible to have a semi-transparent small notification bar as an optional update.zip? Or if you know of a good n00b guide to do so, it would be appreciated.

Cheers
[Vega Android Development] s.morris:
Hi Higgsy,

Thanks for making this easy for us that are not so well informed :p and those that can't be bothered ;)

Mine crashed tonight, Nothing to do with your update, but would it be ok to use your update to bring it back to life :D

Steve
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
Yep just flash like you were flashing the stock firmware by nvflash
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
Nope don't use it never have, don't like it. If I had the choice I would include the motorola blur email app - coz I like that the best.
[Vega Android Development] O_G:
Great work Higgsy.

I would like to see button savior installed as default, its a must for the vega. Also would like the small taskbar. Also does this contain flash?

Thanks mate:)
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
Small notification bar patch added to the OP, changes something else too, spot the difference.
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
Again button saviour is a must, I agree, my aim here was to provide a blank canvas with only the basics. To be honest there aint a great deal of space in /system. If people agree then I'll include it in the next release.

Flash included and works, you may need to reinstall it by going into /system/etc/shuttle_priv/selecting the app to install. I'll update the OP coz I forgot about that.
[Vega Android Development] O_G:
I notice in the screenshot that the kernel version is v1.06 is that a mistake. i have flashed the official firmware and it says v1.08.
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
Yup and I know what I've done, won't cause any issues I don't thing but I will sort now and reupload
[Vega Android Development] O_G:
Great. I will try it out after you have sorted it. Any chance you could include the small taskbar while you are there. Its far better and saves flashing with clockwork (i have read of problems with clockwork with the vega, bsods etc) Thanks:)
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
the rom includes clockwork built in, I've never had a problem with it, so if you flash the rom you get clockwork.

Upping the correct file now I accidently packaged it up using the package from 1.06:rolleyes: I'd like to keep the small bar as an option, although I may well change my mind for next release, seems people generally want it can't be arsed to do anything else tonight, been sitting infront of this PC since 9am this morning lol
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
Ok the corrected file is up and all sweet (well it works for me) I'm off for a kip, laters peoples.
[Vega Android Development] k1018277:
I'm having trouble installing the driver. I downloaded the driver and when turn on the device following the instructions, it looks for the driver in Windows update and I can't choose the location of the driver.

Anybody know what to do?
[Vega Android Development] s.morris:
Hi,

Check this tread out you might find something in there

http://android.modaco.com/content-page/324145/problems-with-adb-after-official-1-04-update/page/80/

Steve
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
What recovery did you include? as Paul updated it twice yesterday to version 2.5.1.8
[Vega Android Development] Schooleydoo:
I would be happy for the small notification to be default.

Would also be curious to know what people think of the USB host/slave switch? I know you are going for the blank canvas approach, but I would imagine 99% of people will be installing it.

I heard a rumour that there was a built in task manager in 1.08. Is this the case?

Great work Higgsy, we needed an XDA ROM to liven up the place :D
[Vega Android Development] dagrim1:
Hmmm, tried this rom this morning but faced some forced closes (screen calibration, gallery) and in the end it refused to turn on (known issue with cwm, screen gets 'lit' but doesn't continue).

So just reflashed stock 1.08 and r6 addon (without pp) which seems to be working fine...
[Vega Android Development] O_G:
I am running stock v1.08 (with pauls add-on) and yes it has a built in task manager.
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
After testing a fair bit, I am going to be offering an additional package for clockworkmod - it works, but in a strange way.

I have found if you do a cold boot after flashing something in clockworkmod (poss a back up havent checked that yet) you get a black screen, however, if you boot back into clockworkmod after the unit boots back up and then just select reboot straight away, when you cold boot after that its ok.

Weird

so it works you just got to remember to do the above
[Vega Android Development] O_G:
Thanks for including the small taskbar. i did not want to start using clockwork until the problems are sorted. I will give it a go tonight.

Thanks again Higgsy.:)
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
The latest clockwork build I mentioned in my previous post is supposed to be safe, no reports of black screen from anyone using that build on modaco.
[Vega Android Development] k1018277:
Thanks. It works now.
[Vega Android Development] O_G:
Just flashed, all good so far. Are there any plans to add the spare parts, i know you want to keep this rom clean, but it is a bit of a must for the compatibility mode.
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
titanium backup before and after? :) then you can just restore it
[Vega Android Development] O_G:
Thanks, but i dont have a backup. The one on the market is no good. I am sure i have seen a .apk for it some where...
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
If only this rom was in update.zip format then I would not have to wait for friday before I have the time to flash it.
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
Add Sparepars.apk to the OP if you need it
[Vega Android Development] O_G:
For any one who wants the tegra spare parts i have attached it. Removed Higgsy got there first. Thanks mate:)

Also Higgsy i am getting some force close's from gallery (which is nice by the way)
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
I haven't had any myself, but I did have some when I used it before on the Modaco gubbins.

See how it goes, the only other option is to go back to the old gallery3d or go 2d, which I prefer as it loads quicker. I will attach these to the OP.
[Vega Android Development] O_G:
I have not added any modaco stuff. maybe it does not like a app i have installed. If it continues i will try the 2d gallery. Thanks.

Great rom, off to a great start:)
[Vega Android Development] HunteronX:
Thanks for your work, Higgsy! :)
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
found some time and just flashed this now, time to test it :)
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
next release will have the new flash player included. The new one works sweet
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
Just about got myself set up, seems a tad laggy at the moment and getting the occasional graphics glitch.

Will give it time to settle in though.
[Vega Android Development] O_G:
Is there going to be any way to update rather than flashing and starting again.

Apart from a few force close's, that i have not had for a while, everything is good:)
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
Screen not perfect while on charge but its loads better than before.
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
Hmm when I said it works sweet, I should have said "its works" the quality of the picture with this flashplayer off the market is far inferior to the the one already included in my opinion, so I won't be including it for now anyways
[Vega Android Development] rpmccormick:
I have FC's on my 1.06 + Paul + HiRes 3D Gal on startup, but never when using it. I'm having FC's in Browser too (DolHD is fine, but flash no longer works in either when it used to). Anyway, I'm going to try this now and will report back. Thanks for the great work Higgsy and I'm happy to see Vega has made it to XDA instead of just modaco.
[Vega Android Development] rpmccormick:
The BSOD is still an issue!

I had only got it once before when I first tried 1.06 /w paul's addon. After one re-install with CWmod I was running fine for weeks. I just installed this ROM, did some config, then installed CWmod (via the new .exe in this OP) and ran a backup. I then did a lot more config and as my last step before doing another backup I ran the utility to enable USB host mode. It rebooted into the BSOD, so I am re-installing and re-configing all over again... yawn.

The new rom looks great and is wicked fast though. I got one FC for 3D Gallery on first boot after installing rom. No other FCs ever after installing all my apps, configuring my desktop and widgets, and using the 3D gallery to set a background image.

I sure hope the BSOD gets fixed, because CWmod rules, but having to re-config over and over is lame.
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
I see you have a zt-180, so is that a rebranded vega/pov mobi/ux100 - I'm loosing track of all the varients lol - is the hardware exactly the same on that then?

Clockworkmod is hit and miss, I spent best part of a day testing/reflashing and in the end I got it to work without any issues, i.e. the usual BSOD after first cold boot after using clockworkmod. What I found prevented it earlier was after using clockwork mod to backup/restore/flash zip etc, was to reboot back into clockworkmod straight away and then just hit reboot clockworkmod as soon as it loaded up, then if you cold boot after this it loaded up ok. I think the key thing if you are going to use clockwork, is take a recovery straight after setting everything up, then its not so much of a biggy if it does black screen.

Would appriciate it if people are having problems
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
Personally I have not had any issues with Clockwork yet (touch wood), however after flashing Higgsys rom I now get a phone out the box sign and no recovery, but I guess I will just attempt to reflash the recovery and try again.

(still boots if I turn it off and on again).
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
Lenny,

Not sure if you know, but clockworkmod not included as standard. You need to run the clockworkmod_Install.exe after flashing the ROM itself, that basically does all the adb commands etc
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
yeah I saw that, didn't think your rom would override my existing recovery though, just me being over tired last night I guess :)
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
Added to OP, I found a really nice simple app for setting high res wallpaper - really works well and integrates into the menus very nicely. Its called Wallaby.

QR code or search "wallaby" on the market:
[Vega Android Development] Lennyuk:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/wallaby/wallaby.ui
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
basically the way its set up is that the .exe flashes v1.08 with my modified system/data image, this includes the stock recovery. Whenever you use NVFlash it formats the whole thing. RC1 included the modified recovery in the main package - I found this problematic for some reason and others said they didn't want it so thought best to make it separate for RC2. Usb debugging is on as standard so, all people have to do is use the clockworkmod_install.exe as soon as it boots up after the main package has been installed, then its done.
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
thats a good idea for the vega!
[Vega Android Development] k1018277:
Thanks. Tryed using the one i used on my phone but was not working properly.
[Vega Android Development] s.morris:
Hi

What version of CWM does it it install

Steve
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
the latest
[Vega Android Development] rpmccormick:
I do have an Advent Vega (actually it is a FlatPad A10W, but it is the exact same as the Advent Vega's in Europe). The ZT-180 (FlatPad A10) is an older tablet I have 2 of (and I briefly led rom development for it here on XDA like you are doing for the Vega)

It has been fine since my second go-round (just like when I first got the Vega and did Pauls mod). Please realize though that I said it happened when using the included app to change USB mode to host. That makes your phone reboot, but it never booted again, just the BSOD. I do try to backup after setup (and had done a 1/2 way through setup backup before the BSOD), but enabling USB host mode was the last step of my final setup (and actually I have skipped that step for now and not tried it on this go-round yet - when I do I will run a backup first this time).

The browser works perfect for me. I know the wallpaper chooser with 3D gallery or anything else is bad, but clicking a pic in the browser and setting as wallpaper turns out great. Just google image search for 1024x1200 (I think that is right, right?)
[Vega Android Development] kkarlo88:
Thank you for the Rom!

I just installed it on a POV mobii, but there is a problem. The Tablet son't recognize my USB Stick, i already switch the USB Mode USB Host.. I need a tip wich File Explorer can show me the Files on the Stick`?

Thank You
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
es file explorer will show you the files (included in rom)

click on the top right hand corner icon that looks like an sd card and then choose usbdisk, working for me.
[Vega Android Development] kkarlo88:
hmh, on the top left corner i can change from "home"? to sdcard, but no usb Stick..

i updated your rom on a the Mondaco custom rom, maybe this could be the reason?
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
Doesn't matter where you came from as the flashing process format the whole device.

so you dont see this?
[Vega Android Development] alphaola:
hey higgsy, can you post the wallpaper above. thanks in advance
[Vega Android Development] kkarlo88:
i see it, but its empty.. on Mondaco the stick works and data is shown. another stick the same..
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
its a theme in es mate not wallpaper, however I pulled the background, you could paste it together to make bigger
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
sorry mate do this:

from home choose mnt/usb/system_usb/ you will see your files
[Vega Android Development] kkarlo88:
:))) Thank You! it works..
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
Hmm people need to beware of usb switcher, its just caused mine to hang on boot reflash time
[Vega Android Development] Bumble-Bee:
Disable mounting /misc in init.rc that will stop the black screen of death :D
[Vega Android Development] rpmccormick:
Sorry for the newb question, but yes, USB switcher to host gives the black screen. Do USB flash keys work stock, without having to run USB switcher, or did you guys enable USB manaully? If manually, please post the adb steps.

...or, does that init.rc fix really work and allow USB switcher to be used? Would you mind posting the init.rc if it does (I know how to edit, but some people don't, and just pushing a pre-edited over should be easy for everyone)

Thanks.
[Vega Android Development] rferrett:
The cwm executable is amazing. Cheers dude Fab work!
[Vega Android Development] Shaizer:
Can someone point me in the right direction to installing the USB drivers, When I first got my vega I installed the modaco rom and installed all the drivers from there but now when I go into recovery and connect usb I see that my vega is connected but when I try to install this rom it says device not found, I tried to uninstall the driver for the Nvidia tegra 2 usb device but when it rescans the hardwares it very quickly reinstalls the driver so I cannot install the ones from the myadventvega.co.uk
[Vega Android Development] maxip:
Hmmm - just had this hanging with 'Starting Fastboot USB download protocol'

I have / had CWM installed and all appeared to be working OK with it but at the minute, I can't even boot into recovery....just get the silly message above. If / when I do get it to recover, I'll be trying your ROM / addon in favour of the Modaco R6 & PP - is there anything obvious missing from your pack that I need to be aware of ?

Thanks
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
No few apps removed like gmail /youtube, these can be downloaded from the market though.

There will probably be another release over the next few days.
[Vega Android Development] bl1nky:
Is it possible to flash with cwm? Can you make a zip pls :)
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
I would be possible to flash by CWM, but I won't be doing that.
[Vega Android Development] maxip:
FYI - having encountered the Fastboot error, I can no longer boot into recovery mode. No matter what combination of keys (or for whatever length of time), I can only get the Fastboot error screen.

I'm not throwing in the towel yet but *think* it's completely borked :mad:
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
Yeah but what you did has nothing to do with this release of mine right?

Anyway I've had the fastboot error. turn off, reseat the power cable and then go into nvflash recovery
[Vega Android Development] bl1nky:
thanks for the response higgsy, if flashing with cwm does the filename need to be changed to .zip ? or does the .exe package need modifying :confused:

bl1nky
[Vega Android Development] Higgsy:
No it would need to be packaged up, as an update.zip
[Vega Android Development] maxip:
Absolutely - the Fastboot error is as a result of Paul's USB switcher, not your release. I've finally got the thing recovered and have flashed with your RC2 mod and so far, is working well.

Thanks
[Vega Android Development] IndyUK:
Looking good so far. Have two problems.

1. The animate wallpaper was not smooth, kept juddering, so disabled it.

2. The wallpaper resizing isn't free-form. How do I turn off the aspect ratio?

Other than the above I'm liking it. I think my keyboard is responding better as well, don't seem to be getting those terrible double-clicks, and this reply is proof.

Well done and keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next release ;)
[Vega Android Development] nickwarn:
Im not sure there will be any moore releases from Higgsy, he sold his Vega.
[Vega Android Development] IndyUK:
Oh No!!:eek: This can't be. This is one of the best ROMs I've tried so far and I was really hoping for some more of this. Oh well, thanks for this anyway.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronGut:
So I upgraded to 2.2 on Saturday via Kies Mini & I've found a problem & was wondering if anyone else has seen it too. Everything works great until I get in my car & my bluetooth connects. Bluetooth works great, but all of the audible alerts on the phone (texts, emails & even the phone ringer) stop & it's vibrate only. Even after I disconnect bluetooth from the car, the audible alerts don't come back.

I've turned silent on/off, changed ringtones (which you can't hear as you cycle through) and the only thing I've found that will bring the audible alerts back is to reboot the phone.

I'll probably root the phone & put on a new ROM this weekend, but until then, this will be a PITA. Anybody else seen it or know of a fix?
[Samsung Mesmerize] BakedTator:
ok...so im getting my mesmerize today and i have no clue how to get into adb...i got the android sdk and cant find it anywhere...could someone help a noob plz....you can slap me after i get clockworkmod on my mesmerize;)
[Samsung Mesmerize] Tortuga1234:
I dident use adb to get it working. Found it faster to use root explorer to place files and then change permissions of the files on system and SD.

Then use terminal to run the command :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
for people (like me) that aren't good with command prompt adb... you should check this out QtADB (GUI) Based ADB
[Samsung Mesmerize] Tortuga1234:
WOW, This is nice. Thanks for the link!

You get slap rights.
[Samsung Mesmerize] dcow90:
Why does this need another thread.. ?? You already have all the resources in the previous thread you made, which people actively responded to. Certainly you could post any follow up questions there..
[Samsung Mesmerize] BakedTator:
sorry bout that...i had info there and didnt get it working so i posted new with a lil more detail...next time i will correct it...again my bad

ok guys....your help made clockworkmod happen for my mesmerize...much thanks...not to the roms!!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] dcow90:
I'm not a moderator nor do I run things around here.. don't apologize to me. I was just curious b/c I thought it was kinda funny that you thought you needed two threads d=
[Samsung Mesmerize] BakedTator:
1 of the topics was cause I didn't understand adb at all. This one was cause I couldn't find adb in the android sdk.but now I got it all worked out and things are running smooth with pick_n_pack, voodoo 5 and cwm and getting 1800 on quadrant now...all hail xda community!
