Guest leigh85 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Hi i managed to install vegacomb, what can i say! i love it. I can now read usb sticks without a problem, which i could not do on the r8 rom. however has anyone come across the wi-fi not automatically reconnecting and being slow, jerky swiping through the screens? I have downloaded and applied the latest patch in the recovery menu, but when i go to the tablet setting it says im still on 1.5.1? Can i save this rom image and revert back to couvers, but come back to vegacomb again where i left it without loosing any settings? thanks for any advice!

The rom version was just an oversight by newbe5 so it will have upgraded, as far as reverting to corvus back up apps with titanium then just boot to cwm do a complete back up. After thats completed wipe all as usual cache, data and dalvik then re install corvus. Just go back to cwm clean then restore if you want to go back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so impressed with corvus's speed, vegacomb seems very laggy to me. It could be me, or the fact that its in beta i don know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be me, or the fact that its in beta i don know. set cpu and overclock to max 1.5ghz and be amazed. at 1ghz it struggles as i found out when first flashed. got set cpu from market and it screams! no lags now at all! flash still not working and camera also but last post by newbe suggests that something amazing is coming and soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cant wait as i imagine it will all be working as we expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but that wont back up your apps data i.e high scores etc so do a titanium backup too :D i personally am on vegacomb for two weeks now and now find it very smooth and nippy, previously the best i found was alphaolas ********edit********** Sods law, yesterday evening vega froze , after reboot (hard power off ) it came back with a million fc errors including the ui and launcher so no status bar or buttons on screen :P rebooted a couple more times same error , so had to reflash but now seems very laggy. So looks like i cursed it , hey ho going to reflash stock then come back and see if that clears it and resets the speed ;) Edited June 16, 2011 by premieral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lambrettalad Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Hi everyone I flashed my Vega last night with this rom and have to say it looks amazing. It took a couple of tries as the first time there was non stop force closes of all the apps and any app that I installed, but after clearing all settings etc and re-flashing it all went fine and all the apps are working as expected. The only thing i am having problems with is my external HDD, it is recognised and the Vega sees all the folders but when I tap on a folder its gives me the message that the folder doesn't exist ;) The folders are showing but they are all greyed out. The HDD is recognised using the Corvus5 rom which is the one I was using previously. The HDD is FAT32 and 250gb. I flashed using CWM and all settings etc were wiped and I am holding the back button until the Vegacomb logo is displayed. USB sticks are recognised no problem though. Any help would be great as this rom is awesome looking and I would love to continue using it. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ViPaSoft Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Going on his latest tweets, it looks like newbe might be getting a new tablet (not a Vega). Not sure how long his enthusiasm for the Vega will last for! Just read his latest tweets and no mention of a new tablet! Possibly new phone, but no tablet, why the scare....

Guest newbe5 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Going on his latest tweets, it looks like newbe might be getting a new tablet (not a Vega). Not sure how long his enthusiasm for the Vega will last for! Don't worry, the Vega is still my first love! ;) I do so much development on the Vega, that most of the time it is in a completely unusable state, which is annoying for my wife and daughter who also like to use the tablet to play games or surf the web, so I am looking to get a second tablet for my household, figured it would be better to get something different, so I have another toy to play with! I haven't got anything yet though, and I don't intend on giving up on the Vega, although I can't carry on forever :P newbe5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lonestay Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Hi thanks for all the info and tips on this forum has helped me a great deal! i guess my question is how much further can the Vega be pushed ? or would you want to push it? I have installed the corvus5 rom and all the other stuff thats advised on this forum, and i have a fantastic stable useful tool I can watch movies from a HDD or a stick, i can listen to music i can surf the net i can read documents and construct documents, email them and basically do most things that i can do on my laptop BUT it will never replace my laptop. What it is, is a very useful tool to supplement my laptop are we beginning to expect to much from the Vega? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What it is, is a very useful tool to supplement my laptop are we beginning to expect to much from the Vega? Perhaps. I just got an Acer Iconia myself (check out the HUGE and vibrant community around it here on Modaco :P) and it destroys the Vega in useability. Amazing things have been done on the Vega, it's impressive, but I'm putting it away until it's at the level I need. And as you can tell, I'm eagerly watching the Vega threads, still ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest paraffinbrain Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I had what I thought was the standard beta experience - dropping wireless occasionally, locking up once a day, usually very ssssslllloooowwww coming out of sleep - but still good enough to stick with. It stopped rebooting last weekend, so I started from stock->1.4->1.5.1->1.5.2 and now I have a completely different machine - much faster and responsive, doesn't drop or lock.

Guest shingers5 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Well as said before i went back to 1.4 then applied 1.51 patch and 1.5.2 patch and its zinging better than before. This rom is really good but lack of flash is killing. Flash stands android tablets aside from my ipad2 so its essential. Acer iconia though nice is too exp and wifi only. Motorola xoom or asus eepad are better alternatives. Iconia however has a great screen but is that enough? Vega cost £200 and with devs like newbe about its priceless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 318vert Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 I am unable to get my advent running 1.5.1 to reboot into recovery using rom manager, power menu options and adb: typing adb shell recovery_2 just comes back with recovery_2 not found. Anyone got any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest warriorscot Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 It's nice to see work continuing but I was really hoping to actually get flash and fixes rather than workarounds that avoid flash and non working features. But beggars can't be choosers might give this version a try but it doesn't really fix any of the reasons I went back to CM7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But beggars can't be choosers might give this version a try but it doesn't really fix any of the reasons I went back to CM7. that pretty much sums up how i feel about 1.6 good to see it progressing but it wouldnt make me use vegacomb as my everyday rom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
