Guest griff_dai Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Paul, In your considered opinion, worth every penny of the £250 or not? How easy would it be for a newbie to Android to buy and route and then get all this working on the Vega? Regards Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest removed-14 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Is this the right place to ask how? All that will come in time. Let Paul work his magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Alrighty, flashed my device to 1.0.3 now so i'm working with the latest version. Now have Live Wallpapers showing properly in the market (they weren't before). Getting there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JingleManSweep Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 I just need to work out how to package it up for you luvverly lot! B) Legendary! Truly amazing! Cheers Paul for all your hard work. I will definitely renewing my MoDaCo subscription when it expires.

Guest Paul Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Time for a Clockwork Recovery mod ? B) Nice idea, BUT... we don't have a way to boot into recovery yet! I haven't found the key combination... P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JohnMetz Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Nice idea, BUT... we don't have a way to boot into recovery yet! I haven't found the key combination... P So the sequence from the full_system_flash_instructions.pdf : Place the Advent Vega into recovery mode by: o Turn the Vega off by holding down the POWER button for 6 seconds o Once off, hold the BACK button down for 2 seconds o Then, whilst keeping the BACK button held, press and hold the POWER button for 2 seconds o Then release just the POWER button but keep holding the BACK button for a further 2 seconds o Release the BACK button does not work then (my Vega has not arrived yet, so I can't try)?

Guest Paul Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 It does, but that's not recovery in the conventional sense (that we can use). P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bisto321 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Well done that man. Many smiley face's all over the country I am sure. I noticed that USB HID support seemed to be enabled in the config, but I think I rember a post saying that mice and keyboard did not respond? Anyone else tried it?

Guest Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Hi folks, Long time listener, first time caller. I'm looking to pick up a Vega having been keeping an eye on some of the new tablets coming out such as the Notion Ink, Novatech nTablet etc ... but they all see seem to have a similar spec/concept. The one thing I did notice about the Novatech is that you can get it without any OS so you can stick anything you want on it, such as a touch friendly/lite Ububtu distro. Will we able to do anything like that with the Vega? Or is Android the maximum we can expect (not that it is a bad thing) ... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be able to do the same on the Vega. Have a look at: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest emergant Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Just going through the Kernel config (should have made notes) We have ext2/3 but not 4 and the fat stuff USB networking. Useful for tetherring I'd guess. Perhaps part of the software update? Wild speculation Firewall stuff is there I think No USB printing it looks like It looks like no frequency scaling. I dont get that at all. Maybe I'm missing something? I'm no developer and I only scanned it so feel free to correct me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lnux9898 Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Is that running natively or is it a bit of a cheat? It runs as a sub-system using CHROOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rferrett Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 B) Wow this is all looking very promising. Hopefully my Vega will have been delivered by the time I get back from the big smog and I will get to have a play! How exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest removed-14 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 It runs as a sub-system using CHROOT. So not native then? What I would want in that case is to switch on my tablet/phone and it boot into Ubuntu. No work arounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
