Guest extrememonkey Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Any news on getting these files available for direct download to the Vega??? Anyone figured out how to do it??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I forgot to mention last night that pre8 does NOT include flash - install it from the market! Looking into the SU issue, USB Switch app should be overwritten if it's already installed in an older version. I think this is ready for kitchen and general release today! ;) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ravemaster8210 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Much better with the glitches, thx Paul. But some minor are still visible on my mobii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MaxiP Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 If it's not too late, would it make sense to make the change to wpa_supplicant to allow ad-hoc wireless networks or could this introduce other problems ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Thresherinc Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Nice one Paul. Dammit, if only I'd stayed around a bit longer, could have done this last night. ;) Anyway, it all pushed okay, there was a couldn't rm lost+found because it was not empty message right at the start, didn't spot anything else. Power control widget needed replacing, not found anything else that isn't 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest newbe5 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Damn thats good to hear, does it also fix the super slow wifi reconnect on wakeup? Cos thats annoying as hell :/ Actually, while i think about it, id like to know if this fixes a few thing. Apolgies if thse have already been answered. 1) Full width notification bar? 2) correctly oriented and sensitive accelerometer? 3) wifi slow to connect one wakeup issue Just my personal wish list ;) Anyone got any notes on points 1 and 2? Also, why not replace wpa_supplicant with the one that makes ad-hoc wifi networks work in this build by default as someone already mentioned above?

Guest stevesilk51 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Hi Paul, Successful non CWM flash of Pre8. Quadrant Scores: Before 2175 After 2349 Should warrant a MODACO startup splash screen - any offers? Now, bring on honeycomb, saw latest presentation, looks awesome!

Guest TylerDurdenK Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Have you looked into the GPS issues that 1.0.8 causes? Basically the update from 1.06.5 to 1.08 does something to the location settings (it adds a greyed out GPS option) and this stops it using an external GPS source like the Wayfinder. More details here - http://android.modaco.com/content/advent-v...on-on-the-vega/ The long and short of it is, that the method on that thread works on 1.06.5 and not on 1.08.

I can check it out tho for the next release. There's a ton of stuff in 1.08 for radio modules (and GPS) that probably breaks BT GPS. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
