Guest nigelpwilson Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) Hey Guys, I'm sure this is related to my other post about downloading roms from modaco on my Vega, so if it is I apologise for starting another thread. If I go to www.modaco.com on my vega and then click on the link for the android section, nothing happens - it just reloads the windows pages, I'm sure I've read of this problem before on other devices in here, but cant remember the solution - even tried a full wipe and same thing happens ? Help ?!??!? Cheers Edited December 8, 2010 by nigelpwilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest warriorscot Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Email yourself a direct link to the forum. The main page is very annoying I have a feeling its something to do with how the user string in the vega browser is set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the advice, but main problem is that I cant download Roms from Modaco direct on my vega, I dont want to mess about with my laptop every time, I might be wrong but I'm sure the downloading problem and browser problem are related.

Guest boffboff Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Where's Paul when you need him ? LOL ...I know he knows the answer to this but I'll be damned if I can find it anywhere.....still looking !!! I had the same problem last night (had just received my shiny new Vega!). I thought it was strange as it kept forcing me to the Windows Phone section even when I clicked on 'Android' I downloaded DolphinHD and (in DolphinHD) set the browser agent/user agent to 'Desktop' (Default setting is 'Android'). Modaco worked correctly then. (In DolphinHD,not the bundled browser) Sligthly off-topic, the bundled browser on the Archos101 has the option to switch agents, but on the Vega the option isn't there! The TV-out is completely different too between the devices. (Did a quick compare with my mate's one) Boff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the same in every brower..almost as if something is redirecting everything I do on Modaco to wrong place...allI want to do is download roms to my vega....so frustrating now...maybe I should of kept the Archos 101 I returned instead of the Vega ;) Edited December 8, 2010 by nigelpwilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MonkeyBoy451 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) @Nigel type the following into your browser and then add it as a bookmark - http://android.modaco.com/forum.html Then login and you'll be fine. In Dolphin HD - go into the settings and find the option "Download in background" and tick it. Now see what you get. ;) you could also try the following link - http://android.modaco.com/category/474/adv...ega-modaco-com/ Edit: and my user agent is set as: Android Edited December 8, 2010 by MonkeyBoy451 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest trevor432990 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) The only way I know of downloading new ROMs from the Modaco website is via an initial download to a PC or Mac device then running the install program from there with your Vega connected by USB as spelled out in Pauls posting on the subject as follows:- * Ensure you have USB debugging enabled on your Vega (enabled in Settings->Applications->Development) * If you are using Windows, your USB 'Android Developer Bridge' driver MUST be the one included in this download (use 'Have Disk' functionality in device manager to change if required) * Download the zip file of your choice from the links provided (or the online kitchen) and extract on your Windows PC, Linux PC or Mac * Connect your device to your PC * At a command prompt / terminal, ensure you are in the directory you extracted the files, and run 'install-windows.bat', './install-linux.sh' or './install-mac.sh' as appropriate * Wait for your device to reboot! If there is a different way of doing it I'd be interested to hear but I suggest you try what I believe to be the 'official' route first.

Hi, Thanks for your reply...I've done all the above fine and am now running Paul's 1.04 with Performance Pack, I now want to mess about with baking a few Roms with different settings and download them direct to my Vega. I can do this fine on my SanFransisco so surely a Vega can do it .....can't it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do this fine on my SanFransisco so surely a Vega can do it .....can't it ? Not as far as I know but I'm new to Android and the Vega so I just follow the prescribed route. Maybe in due course a Vega based upgrade path will be provided but for now I think we have to put up with the PC route ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
