Guest simonta Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Where does it say clockworkmod installed? AFAIK, the only way to tell (without some hacking) is to get into recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest simonta Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) "This image fixes some issues (such as WIFI intermittent disconnection issue, random lag etc. ) " sounds like it could be nice to have! I've flashed the image, kernel is 2.6.32.9_P10_v1.07.4 dated 5th Jan. I've applied mcr6 and restored all my apps, will report back if anything interesting. The 3D launcher included is some nice, different, eye candy for the Vega. Cr*p launcher but looks diferent :D Edited January 13, 2011 by simonta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rvdgeer Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 on the app drawer but when pressed it just stays at android with box No, an app is installed which let's you boot to recovery... But clockworkmod is not part of the MCR Add-On! If you don't have cwm recovery, it's best not to use (or even remove) the app... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lambrettalad Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 I use these guides and everything worked a treat I used my old laptop; acer aspire 5610z running winxp32 I had to reenable flash for the bbc iplayer but other than that everything is fine so far. Cheers Paul for the rom, I bought the no ad version, glad i did ;) Check out these links: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vH8kJ4M2ygQ...der&list=UL These will: 1. help you to check your official firmware version, and upgrade it if necessary to v1.06.5 2. show how to install the MCR custom R6 using Windows 7 and http://android.modaco.com/content/advent-v...p-update-guide/ (This gives full instructions both for a firmware upgrade, and also how to install the MCR (Paul's ROM). Also note carefully in the install of the MCR - Preparation Step 03 - the USB drivers need TWO unzips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lordjubblydave Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Is there a guide to Installing this using either Linux or OSX ? Could someone throw a link my way ?

Guest Danski69 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Just got my Vega yesterday....was trying to do the upgrade last night and failed miserably...after a lot more reading worked out what to do (50 pages takes a while to get through).

I cannot get the Vega to mount. My GoogleFu is failing me too :lol: On vega: 1. Connect usb to both vega and mac 2. Put vega into usb mode On mac: 1. Open terminal. 2. Type cd 3. Then drag the updates folder you have downloaded to the terminal window and press enter 4. Open the folder you downloaded and drag the mac file named './install-mac.sh' to terminal and press enter. Then just let it update, will take a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest powderjunki Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 After lots of indecision finally took the plunge and got the vega for the goodness r6 and pp would bring. Pre mod a little underwhemled, now the vega is fantastic. Thanks to all here, easy to follow. Legends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest masterpfa Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) Hi all, been on the outside looking in for a while now and with Honeycomb and all the new tablets being released was in 2 minds, but at this price bracket I'd be a fool not to even try. I will, over a few days no doubt, read this thread but are there any major misgivings for this device? MCR is the way forward and I shall be looking to try out a few games et al on this device. Just a quickie although I will search for this, is this device capable of being Tethered? :lol: :) Edited January 23, 2011 by masterpfa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing which really shows the Vega vs iPad differential is the screen but in everyday use, it doesn't cause me any problems. Some screens are over sensitive, have dead zones and are prone to double taps but these can all be fixed using info in this forum. The viewing angles and quality are hardware so cannot but as I say, unbeatable at the price. Tethering. No problem. Fixed in this forum. You might have to hack around a little but if you're tech savvy, nothing exciting! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mogedwards Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I noticed while browsing the magazines in Sainsburys that Stuff magazine made the Vega (With Modaco ROM) its winner in the Android tablet review item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bohemian100 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Upgraded from 1.08 last night. Worked a treat. Upgraded through mac. My Advent Vega has just arrived this morning, and i am eager to update to Modaco ROM, i noticed that it has been shipped with v 1.08 not 1.06.5. I will be using a windows 7 pc to do the update, is the upgrade process still the same from 1.08 as it is with 1.06.5, any problems updating from 1.08. Im a complete newbie so would apreciate some advice and guidance. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. you can apply this MCR over the top of your 1.08 but until we know exactly what files have changed for 1.08 you might be downgrading some of your things. Paul said he would look into this today so we might see a new MCR release based on 1.08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul said he would look into this today so we might see a new MCR release based on 1.08 Hi Guys, First Post. I have installed MCR on v1.08 as this is the version that came with my vega (ordered last week) and had absolutely no problems, all passed with flying colours. I was able to redownload apps purchased on htc desire and even my kindle app synced with no problems. Loving it at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, went ahead with the install, had a scare first time, usb driver installed ok but bat file failed, ran it again and everything seems to be working ok, cant compare performance to update from 1.06.5 as vega is new today.

Guest Shaizer Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 "Downloads This ROM is now available in the online kitchen - see the post below for details! A prebake is also available below... r6 - default options, performance pack excluded - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid Load Balancing) - MD5: 5f9d526822247ce616f6e777454e585a r6 - default options, small notifcation bar, performance pack excluded - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid Load Balancing) - MD5: 320fbef176de65b328de3182f43536c7" Does "small notifcation bar, performance pack excluded" mean that there IS small notification bar but no pp or does it mean there is no small notification bar and no pp? and I presume the first option is just pp excluded so it DOES include the small notification bar?
