Guest Wiss911 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 Hey Guys, on XDA they started to work on a Adam based rom for the Viewsonic GTAB. First Alpha seems working. Don´t you think it would be great to have this port also for the POV/Vega ? :) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928152 I hope someone is interested in this ( Paul :lol: ) and we can have something similar in the future :) Regards Wiss911
Guest Wiss911 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) For the ones interested: i have installed the Adam firmware (Original) the following way: I extracted the Update.exe File for the POV Mobii Tegra. There i replaced the system.img, mbtdata.img, userdata.img and recovery.img with the ones from the Adam. Installed it with running the lvds.bat. And it is working :lol: Movies, Galery, Music, Mail.... and so on is working... But since Hardware is not similar there are a few important Things not working. Wifi and Sound is not working. So any Hints regarding Wifi&Sound? Is the replacement of the drives something what could be easily done? And on some Points you can see, that the Soft is done for another resolution.

Guest Wiss911 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 For the Wifi-Drivers: Is it that easy to copy the files from original stock rom from: /system/lib/hw/wlan ??

Guest Rhuey46 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 Works quite nicely, I'm looking forward to any other developments regarding this!
Guest yabbas Posted January 25, 2011 Report Posted January 25, 2011 Awesome work - looking forward to seeing where this goes :lol:
Guest HunteronX Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) Awesome work - looking forward to seeing where this goes :lol: Same here :) - Paul might be interested in helping you too. Edited January 26, 2011 by HunteronX
Guest gingercat Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 Funny to think that with current Adam shipping issues, there could soon be more Vegas and other devices running flavours of the Adam ROM than there are Adams :lol:
Guest Damian J Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 i have my eden rom booting. wifi working. now to tackle sound. i will create a seperate thread once i release. my problem right now it is bootloops on second boot. a reflash is needed every second run. this makes it useless...
Guest Wiss911 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 Hi Damina, can you give me a hint what you´ve done regarding wifi? Regards wiss911
Guest Rhuey46 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Posted January 26, 2011 And on some Points you can see, that the Soft is done for another resolution. I'm surprised it doesn't fit correctly, considering the resolution of the adam and the vega are the same, surely it should fit? Unless the taskbar on top is supposed to dissapear when running an app.
Guest kevlar0404 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 I have the ADAM rom running on my PoV with WIFI working. I used Root Explorer for my file actions. It can be done via ADB. Before flashing copy from a PoV/Vega ROM following file/maps: mkdir /sdcard/PovFiles cp /system/lib/libhardware_legacy.so /sdcard/PovFiles/libhardware_legacy.so cp /system/lib/hw/wlan /sdcard/PovFiles/wlan cp /system/lib/hw/wlan_ar6002 /sdcard/PovFiles/wlan_ar6002 After flashing: - install Root Explorer and z4root. Root your device. - remount your /system with read/write. Copy the files back: mv /system/lib/libhardware_legacy.so /system/lib/libhardware_legacy.so.bak mv /system/lib/hw/wlan /system/lib/hw/wlan.bak cp /sdcard/PovFiles/libhardware_legacy.so /system/lib/libhardware_legacy.so cp /sdcard/PovFiles/wlan /system/lib/hw/wlan cp /sdcard/PovFiles/wlan_ar6002 /system/lib/hw/wlan_ar6002 And correct the permissions: chmod 755 /system/lib/libhardware_legacy.so chmod 755 /system/lib/hw/wlan chmod 644 /system/lib/hw/wlan/ar6000.ko chmod 644 /system/lib/hw/wlan/athwlan.bin.z77 chmod 644 /system/lib/hw/wlan/data.patch.hw2_0.bin chmod 644 /system/lib/hw/wlan/eeprom.bin chmod 644 /system/lib/hw/wlan/eeprom.data chmod 755 /system/lib/hw/wlan_ar6002 chmod 644 /system/lib/hw/wlan_ar6002/ar6000.ko chmod 644 /system/lib/hw/wlan_ar6002/athwlan.bin.z77 chmod 644 /system/lib/hw/wlan_ar6002/data.patch.hw2_0.bin chmod 644 /system/lib/hw/wlan_ar6002/eeprom.bin chmod 644 /system/lib/hw/wlan_ar6002/eeprom.data After reboot your WiFi can now be activated.
Guest newbe5 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 How good is the Adam rom/UI? Is it actually worth using? Can you still use normal Android apps?
Guest kevlar0404 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 The ADAM rom boots incredibly fast. The UI is nice. I think it's better but a matter of getting used to. With a few side install you can use your own launcher and even full market. Still a few things that don't work. No sound and no camera. Complete freeze after starting Camera App. But in a few days I think I can get sound and camera to work. Vega Recovery Boot doesn't work (no reboot). I still have to try it with ROM manager.

I also had no luck with rom manager & Vegarecoveryboot too. I installed the softwareupdate.apk from stock rom, but i won´t give me the Option "Software Update" in the settings, as it is in stock rom. So ADB is the right option at the moment i think. EDIT: In GAdam 1.00 alpha4 (XDA) they fixed the camera. So maybe it will work for us too, if we have the same cam.
