Guest Sean McTaggart Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 hi there just installed the R8 custom rom which is brilliant :P though when I used to use my USB keyboard and mouse I got a little X where the mouse was on the screen after the r8 update I cannot see this anymore and can't see any way to turn it back on was this excluded/disabled by the R8 release? and is there any way to get it back? makes using a mouse and keyboard very difficult =[ any help/advice would be greatly appreciated! thanks :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sean McTaggart Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 well its good I'm not the only one with the problem I suppose! I've tried everything and really can't work it out :S was the cursor part of the custom roms or was that part of the stock rom and the feature has been removed by R8? hopefully this will be resolved quickly anyway :P guess if anybody knows the answer it will be paul, so if anybody knows how to contact him? if anybody finds a solution please let us know :D cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest merlin_1492 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Nobody knows which is the problem???We want the cursor!XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rferrett Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 It is a widely reported fault. May well be looked at in R9? Does this fault exist on the CM7 mod for the Vega? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest newbe5 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Any news on this ? Would really love to use my mouse to play worms on the vega. Also, has anyone else tried to use a keyboard or a wiimote to play Worms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest debs626 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'm having the same problem, i hate not having any mouse support on my vega ...... coupled with the lack of acc streaming .... im starting to realy fall out of love with my vega :D Also my vega is probably feeling very neglected too Any smart dev willing to tackle this issue for us?

Guest newbe5 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 OK, so I've been doing some research in to this today, and it's not the 1.08 or 1.09 ROMs that break the mouse cursor, it seems to be MCR7 and MCR8 that's doing it. I've just installed the Vega 1.09 stock ROM, then installed the MCKR2 kernel and then manually pushing SuperUser and Pauls USB mode switcher. Put it right into Host mode and BAM, the cursor is there... So now just need to find out what file in the MCR8 install is breaking this and remove it :D Zeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest simonta Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'm genuinely curious. Are you guys using the Vega as a cheap laptop replacement? It seems to me that one of the advantages of using a tablet is to not have a keyboard or mouse? Do I need to get my coat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest newbe5 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) I'm genuinely curious. Are you guys using the Vega as a cheap laptop replacement? It seems to me that one of the advantages of using a tablet is to not have a keyboard or mouse? Do I need to get my coat? I'm only really looking in to this as a matter of interest, I don't actually use a mouse with my Vega. But tbh I can see some good advantages to having this working, if you have it plugged in to your TV via hdmi, the only way to control it is to either walk over to it, or have a very long HDMI cable. Having a bluetooth mouse and keyboard on your sofa to control the Vega while you browse/play games/watch media seems like a great idea, but it's unusable without a cursor! EDIT: Might have just fixed this, doing some testing now. Edited February 18, 2011 by newbe5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to get my coat just yet then :-) I use my phone for the same purpose so haven't had the need to mousify the beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest newbe5 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Aaaand, fixed :D Flash this little baby in Recovery and your friendly little X cursor will be back and raring to do your bidding. All tested, seems to be working fine for me in normal VEGA use and while playing Worms :D Zeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All tested, seems to be working fine for me in normal VEGA use and while playing Worms :) Zeb WOW tyvm :D I'm assuming that this fix is via Clockwork Recovery mode ?? if so :) Sadly :'( I've decided to put my Vega on Ebay ..... after not being able to get ACC+ radio to stream again then the lack of USB mouse, + a couple of other lil niggles I've decided to cash it in whilst there is still some money left in it :'( I'm defiantly going to miss it but with all the lil problems I was beginning to using it less and less.

That's a shame :) You can also push the file directly through ADB is you know how to use that and don't have clockwork installed? Or you could grab the file out of the ZIP and just put it in the right place directly on your Vega if you want :D It just goes in /system/framework and it doesn't replace anything on R8 as the file isn't currently there (hence no cursor :)). I'll have a look into AAC streaming for you if you would like? Do you have an example website? Also, what ROM did it last work on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not 100% sure when it last worked but I have downgraded 1 by 1 each Vega update and even on the original 1.02 (the version it had on when I purchased it) AAC streaming wont work .... however I can stream the internet radio station via yxplayer but obviously - thats primarily a video player (in full screen) so I cant do anything else on the vega whilst its streaming :) The dev's of the xiialive player were looking into it but I haven't had any reply as of yet. All internet AAC radio streamer apps work perfectly on my phone (android 2.1) but something is broke in 2.2 (vega) I'll PM you the Stream url so you can test it :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest debs626 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) I've just noticed this reply to my query on the xiia support page Thanks for the logs. In your case I see you are running a custom ROM "MoDaCo Custom ROM for the Advent Vega r7". Could be an issue with that particular ROM. From the logs I can see that the Android Media Framework is sending a signal that it completed playback, which is wrong. I'll see if I can send you a different version of the app so that I can see more log message output and determine if it's a bug in our app or actual Android OS. I subscribe to that thread but didn't get any notification of the reply and also I haven't heard anything from them since http://xiialive.userecho.com/feedback/5483...-froyo-upgrade/ Edited February 18, 2011 by debs626 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevesilk51 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Thanks Newbe5, Just used "Root Explorer" to copy/paste the com.nvidia.display.rar file (after using androzip to extract) to sytem/framework. Cursor Back. BTW : Having the mouse/cursor is very useful if you intend running via HMDI to a large screen LCD TV as you can look at the LCD TV screen to navigate with a cursor which you cannot without one, .... not sure if I'm making sense there?
