Guest T4ylor Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Does anyone know what 3d launcher its using because that looks really good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest warriorscot Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Not sure what the launcher is but it looks like the same one the Mobii and epad use. Apparently its more pretty than functional but wouldn't mind trying it out myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest removed-14 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Starting to get excited that there maybe a way to get USB host. I'm happy at the thought of getting it through the dock (whenever that arrives) but in the device itself would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not meaning to sound like an idiot but if you don't ask you don't know but would that enable a mouse to work with the Vega? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think more work is needed as the HID part is extra to the USB host enabling. The use of memory sticks I think will be out of the box but not sure about mice and keyboards? I maybe confusing USB HID with Bluetooth HID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can take a while as its a low level copy of every bit on the partition. There may not be much onscreen info while it runs. It also may slow the device down as the disk is busy.

P I might be able to take a shot on ROM dumping tonight on a POV Mobii "Vega clone"... Was redirect here from this thread. Will try if it supports USB host out of the box first :) Edited December 13, 2010 by rvdgeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest evank418 Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 i've ordered my vega last week in Korea. i will probably get them tuesday or wednesday(korean time). i'm no android expert nor linux, but very good at following the step by step guide long as they are easy to understand. i'll give it a crack at it following paul's guide. :) just need to receive a device.

Guest Pyr0x64 Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) Looks like POV are using USB host instead of slave too. On the POV site, it says for the 10" Mobii TEGRA: Can I connect any external storage device on my tablet ? Yes you can usb flashdrive and external hdd drive will be recognized . After you have connected it to the usb connector go to settings / iFileManager / press the usb stick icon (if this does not appear press the renew icon) Now refresh the iFileManager to display the USB icon. Tap this icon to show the contents of the USB pendrive. No driver is needed to support this USB host mode. note: it is not possible to connect the tablet PC directly to your PC (USB Slave mode). By using the USB slave mode it is not possible to connect other devices such as USB pendrives, USB keyboards, 3G adapters etc. For this reason POV has decided to make the tablet default a USB Host. This is a setting incorporated deeply in the Android Operating system. The only way to change this is a full firmware update. Point of View is working to publish this update very soon http://www.pointofview-online.com/club/FAQ.html they haven't posted an image to download yet either :) [edit] with it saying that usb slave mode is non functional, perhaps nvflash could be used to create backup images instead, with the tablet in flash mode?

USB-host is definitely enabled... I've just played some mp3's from an usb stick... Rom dumping to an img file is not working... Will upload the system tar in a few mins... Ok. My system tar is here... [EDIT] Removed the link and created a new topic for this here. [/EDIT] When I try to dump the boot to img it hangs immediately... No warnings, just not responsive at all... After a reboot I found a boot.img on the SD-card, but it's 0 bytes... Any ideas...? I really only have tonight, tomorrow is too late! Not kiddin'!

Guest warriorscot Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 So reading that it seems to me they are saying they can't get Android to switch properly between one and the other without problems so they are setting it in one mode and leaving it like that. Which I suppose makes sense and Advent went the other way towards making sure it can be connected to a PC all the time and be updated easily and move files onto it.

Then again, I didn't have any problems connecting the POV to my pc either and could simply update it to the Vega software. I do hope pov comes out with a new rom soon (they are working on it appearantly, some 1.07 version... They also listed on their site that they arent planning an android 3.0 update for the POV).

Guest warriorscot Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I wonder if we could work in opposite direction and install the POV software onto the vega and if it had full USB when doing that it would possibly answer a lot of questions about the vega.
