Sorry to be a nuisance but just got new Vega and want to update to 1.04 prior to adding add-on pack.

Tried to do the upgrade lite version from the myadventvega website and downloaded the image directly

to my vega "softwareImage_v1.04_Vega_Final.exe" then went to Software update on the Vega but it cannot see this

file?? Any tips, I know I could do this via the PC but did not want to end up messing about with different USB drivers.

Appreciate any useful pointers, thanks.

Follow the instructions on the pukka advent vega site - there are different instructions depending on whether the rom upgrade can be done via the lit method or the full connection to the pc - from memory i think the 1.04 one has to be done by connecting. In others words you can't make your own choice about which method you use it is diictated by the upgrade type - full or lite

Cheers, after a bit more messing around that's the conclusion I came to. The "Lite" upgrade process, downloading the file directly to the Vega, will not work with this 1.04 ".exe" needs to be a 1.04 ".zip" which does not exist. Thought it would be the better solution and avoid the issue over the differing USB drivers.

Think I'll do the 1.04 on my Vista PC and the R4 on my old XP laptop.

thanks taking the trouble to reply ;) .

So then folks what is the likelehood of a Gingerbread Mod now it is out or will that depend on Advent releasing one or us getting the source code?

[Guest robquine]

I may have sussed the problem I had with the installation of the ROM from the " kitchen " - which may help others

When you download the file it comes in a zip form - and you right click to extract all

However on my PC this did not in fact unzip everything :

Within the unzipped files is an " usb folder " which is still in zipped form - so you have to unzip again

When you have made sure all the files are unzipped - the process / instructions to install the ROM and performance pack worked OK

Hope this helps a least someone

Well just joined and installed the Kitchen version with performance boost after using the standard R4 for about a week (I just installed it over standard r4). Will have to use if for a bit to see what kind of performance increase there is.

Did notice some graphics glitches now on Pool Break Pro.

[Guest rferrett]

Got the r4 on now. Will have to get clockwork recovery in anticipation of some 2.3 mods at some point! ;)

[Guest Ghost1986]

Hi just wondering, will using this custom ROM void any warranty on the device? (not that its going to stop me using it)

Also what does the performance pack actually do to the vega? Overclock the cpu? Or some other tweak? JW

[Guest deadite66]

it has the latest drivers from nvidia

[Guest Mattbisme123]

am i doing something silly, i installed a r4 rom from the kitchen but im not getting any superuser prompts when doing anything that needs root privileges?

also VISIONary doesnt seem to do anything, i press the permroot button and nothing happens.

Thanks

Matt

[Guest Paul]

Think i've found a good way to fix the 'double keypress' oddness... ;)

[Guest Paul]

Small notification bar - thoughts? ;)

Any news on the graphical glitches in some 3D games? As you can see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36ud5IE5jx4 Pool Break Demo worked fine on r2.

really? any more details - for me the only two problems I have with the Vega at the moment is the double pressing keyboard (only seems to be when plugged in for some reason) and the viewing angles in portrait. A fix for the keyboard would be great!

edit - ah found it now - you've called it touch events test fix - many thanks!

Thanks,

worto.

[Guest Paul]

A new option 'Small Notification Bar / Touch Events Test Fix' is now available in the online kitchen... please discuss / feedback in this topic.

Note that although the test fix is bundled with the small notification bar, this is just for convenience. If it works well for everyone, i'll include it in the core pack.

[Guest Mattbisme123]

is there an easy way to make the notification drop down full screen?

I'm looking into that...

sweet, its a litte annoying to say the least as it currently is. ;)

[Guest SilentMobius]

Paul, any reason Maps.apk is being pushed to both system and data:

Copying new files

push: files/data/app/placeholder -> /data/app/placeholder

push: files/data/app/Maps.apk -> /data/app/Maps.apk

...

push: files/system/app/Maps.apk -> /system/app/Maps.apk

Also my system partition filled on my last flash, but that may be my fault.

[Guest Paul]

Yes, it's being pushed to both deliberately. ;)

Signing

If you are using ClockworkMod recovery, your ROM updates do not need to be signed. This means your ROM can be generated faster and with less load on the server. Only select the option below if you are using a recovery image (e.g. AmonRA's recovery) which requires a signed update zip.

can someone please tell me how to generate an update.zip that we can use to flash using clockwork?

[Guest arad85]

I'm all Clockworkmodded/r4 custom ROM addon quite happily (after I managed to convince my Win7 x64 machine to actually load the correct driver...). I have a couple of questions:

1. Will the standard Vega install work with the drivers included in the custom ROM pack

2. I get an error when trying the following command in the batch file of the custom install pack:

N:\software\vega\modaco\r4-default>adb-windows.exe shell busybox --install -s /system/xbin

busybox: /system/xbin/ifplugd: Cannot allocate memory

busybox: /system/xbin/ifup: Cannot allocate memory

busybox: /system/xbin/inetd: Cannot allocate memory

... (lots of lines removed)

busybox: /system/xbin/zcat: Cannot allocate memory

busybox: /system/xbin/zcip: Cannot allocate memory

"adb shell"ing onto the tab and then doing df gives:

Everything else works perfectly and seems to be OK. Any idea why that would be?

Thanks....

PS. I'll go ad free for the performance pack tomorrow when I've had a chance to play. Work really has been getting in the way over the last few days!!

[Guest Zebrahead]

Hey everyone! First MoDaCo post ^^

Just a quick question? I presume the "prebake" is the "default options, performance pack excluded" link? Is there any other differences between this and the generator from the kitchen below (aside for the performance pack exclusion)? ^^ - It seems by default the "Small Notification Bar + Touch Events Fix" is unchecked in the kitchen too.

And also, having examined the "prebake", is MarketUpdater.apk the Market app? I couldnt't see anything of the name Market alone.

Many thanks,

Zeb

[Guest remlap]

Just paid the tenner for ad free and kitchen access but I can't seem to see where to actually access it.

Bit of a Newbie here.
