I'm aware that Honey Ice is more of an addition to Vegacomb 3.2 than a rom in it's own right, but I've heard from some people that It's better and others that it's pretty buggy and this seems to be the only place I ever get a straight answer to something. Is it worth installing Honey Ice? (Currently using 3.2)

Honey ice fixes a load of issues that vegacomb left behind.

follow the honey ice thread.

Viewcomb 3.2 Build 6.3 is well worthy of your consideration.

for me using vegacomb HC3.2_build9n and then flashing HoneyIce+Beta+2.2b (latest) works a treat. No serious issues to report...

Just to add that VIEWcomb 3.2 build 7 has now been released and only needs a 130mb partition for the system.!

Just add that there seems to be a list of known issues for two out of three of the above but not viewcomb . Personally I'd stick to the ones that keep you informed.

I think they do with the stock browser, however honey ice installs an additional browser to use without issues.

Its over at tabletroms in the advent Vega rom development section..

Viewcomb looked pretty good, except I kept getting the  "Starting Fastboot USB download protocol" error. Although I do prefer the 5-row launcher from Viewcomb so I just patched that into Vegacomb 3.2.

[IanTurner]

I'd stick with vegacomb with its faults as honeyice seems to fix and break things at the same time and a recent report of a honeyice update failing to reconnect after sleep matched a similar report for viewcomb which suggests the latter is the developer integrating honeyice and vegacomb with a different installer which given richardmleas experience of having to enter the wifi setup before installing honeyice sounds like a recipe for disaster with some installations.

I just installed honey ice and came from vegacomb latest with my Point of View Mobii tegra2 . All though it solves a lot of issues(stability mostly) it also breaks overall performance just did a test with systemtest from George android and the overall score is 3300 while the Vegacomb set a stunning 4875 which is almost as fast as a Samsung galaxy tab.
Even when working with the device and honey ice rom it's a fair amount slower in handling.

Make your choice between stabler and  slower or fast and a bit more freezes/reboots  when working.
Dolphin and market is very slow, internal browser is very fast.
I think i'll go back to vegacomb after a while. Even my samsung galaxy plus is faster with android 2.2.2.

Just my 2 ct.

The new HoneyIce Chimera is very stable now on both my POV tablets. i can recommend it. so previous version were bit unstable but the last one really rocks this tablet.
