Guest kevinha Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 USB Mode doesn't work for me. when i switch to host mode it doesn't reboot and logcat says: I/ActivityManager( 1034): Starting activity: Intent { act=android.intent.action. MAIN cmp=com.modaco.vegausbmode/.host } E/su (19448): Couldn't open database W/su (19448): request rejected (10059->0 /system/bin/sh) I/ActivityManager( 1034): Displayed activity com.modaco.vegausbmode/.host: 6863 ms (total 6863 ms) I had previously installed the apk on v1.08 and also z4root without any luck. maybe this problem is a hangover from that.
Guest Sir Gash Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 re: screen corruption, what's the most reliable way to replicate it? Then I can work on eliminating it! ;) P Many thanks for looking into this! Easy way is try this Live Wallpaper, guaranteed corruption on demand just like the screenshot I posted earlier: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.joko.lightgrid Cheers
Guest Paul Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Superuser is failing... do you have the Superuser app in the main menu? If so, in Settings->Applications 'Clear Data' on Superuser and try again. P
Guest NDroidB Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 I get these issues with games, can pretty much guarantee that at any given point during a game of Droid Words Free there will be some artefacts over the letter tiles and buttons beneath (and generally all over the place). These issues started appearing after updating to the r2 kernel (running MCR 1.0.6 - gonna try this this evening or maybe hold off till there's more news on the glitches) Paul, you're a fecking legend! From reading through all the screen glitch threads and posts, I would say that the issues started with the stock 1.08 rom issued by Advent rather than the r2 kernel. I cannot say for sure as I haven't checked it myself, but I suspect that the r2 kernel may not be the culprit.

That wallpaper is a really good way to replicate the problem. My corruption is quite mild but its constant with that wallpaper.

I cannot say for sure as I haven't checked it myself, but I suspect that the r2 kernel may not be the culprit. Well considering I haven't made the move to the 1.08 rom yet I suspect it's not that, seems to randomly appear for different people after applying various updates etc. I've not seen anywhere that it's been narrowed down to a probable cause. Have also seen others on 1.06 with same issues

I cannot say for sure as I haven't checked it myself, but I suspect that the r2 kernel may not be the culprit. I had it with stock kernel on 1.06.5 but it was so rare and unobtrusive that it didn't bother me. There was no difference between 1.06.5 and 1.08, for me it is down to the new kernel. Could also be caused by compatibility problems with nVidia graphics libs/drivers rather than a specific issue with the kernel itself. It's a shame because r7 pre is the best ROM for Vega so far, everything else has been perfect for me!

Guest kevinha Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Superuser is failing... do you have the Superuser app in the main menu? If so, in Settings->Applications 'Clear Data' on Superuser and try again. P I have Superuser but on the Settings tab there is no 'Clear Data'. Superuser version is v2.3.6.1.
Guest Lennyuk Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 I have Superuser but on the Settings tab there is no 'Clear Data'. Superuser version is v2.3.6.1. Menu> settings > applications >application management locate SuperUser and click then click clear data NOT IN THE APP ITSELF!! hope this helps ;)
Guest bakedecake Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 I love that wallpaper but my screen goes nuts too.
Guest kevinha Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Menu> settings > applications >application management locate SuperUser and click then click clear data NOT IN THE APP ITSELF!! hope this helps ;) yeah i had already tried that, that's why i was looking elsewhere. didn't help.
Guest Tony Williams Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Well considering I haven't made the move to the 1.08 rom yet I suspect it's not that, seems to randomly appear for different people after applying various updates etc. I've not seen anywhere that it's been narrowed down to a probable cause. Have also seen others on 1.06 with same issues I`m on 1.065 with MCR addon and PP and have only had the screen glitches since installing the R2 kernel. Not annoying enough to make me want to revert back to the stock kernel though. Other than the screen glitches the setup I have at the moment seems very stable and responsive, clockworkmod working ok etc so I`m leaving it as it is for now ;)
Guest Lennyuk Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Paul have you decided if your going to add a2sd to this rom yet?
Guest feeta Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 re: speed, i'm not finding this slow once it's done it's initial sync bits (and I've replaced the stock launcher which is notoriously bloated!) Paul, what launcher are you using? On my vega, with a fresh install of the stock 1.8 image and this Pre7 over the top, I'm returning a quadrant of 1887. Thanks for all your work on this. Modaco has completely freed the Vega! ;)
Guest wipeout140 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Feeta, I replaced the default launcher with ADW Launcher and this clean install of 1.08 and r7 is working the best it has ever been, so thanks again
Guest Paul Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Paul have you decided if your going to add a2sd to this rom yet? As a kitchen option in due course, yeah. P

Guest MaxiP Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Thought I'd give this a go now that I'm an expert in getting into recovery mode ;) Fresh install of Advent Vega 1.08 Final Install r7-pre7-vega-update-modacocustomrom-unsigned No apps installed / changed apart from adding Google account info; reboot & leave for 5 mins after installing any apps Install Quadrant Standard& ran full benchmark; - stock browser & launcher 1968 - stock browser & ADW launcher 1888 (minor glitching on some screens & Quadrant restarted itself at score screen then FC) - Dolphin HD & ADW Launcher 1620 (Quadrant restarted itself at score screen then FC) Hmmm
Guest Paul Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Quadrant results seem a bit variable and unreliable unfortunately! For example, second time you run it = much better results! P
Guest Lennyuk Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 if we can get a fix/improve the graphic issue I would say this rom looks ready for an "official" release.

I cannot say for sure as I haven't checked it myself, but I suspect that the r2 kernel may not be the culprit. Can't be, as I get them 0n 1.06.5 . I can see them on the tabs on Dolphin HD on the text that is scrolling in the tab itself. If I remove the kernal, they are gone.
Guest kevinha Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Still having USB Mode switch problems. Flashed stock 1.08, added r7 pre7 still logcat says I/ActivityManager( 1060): Starting activity: Intent { act=android.intent.action. MAIN cmp=com.modaco.vegausbmode/.host } E/su ( 5040): Couldn't open database W/su ( 5040): request rejected (10050->0 /system/bin/sh) I/ActivityManager( 1060): Displayed activity com.modaco.vegausbmode/.host: 5847 ms (total 5847 ms) anybody got any straws i can grasp at ?

Guest .stu Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 From reading through all the screen glitch threads and posts, I would say that the issues started with the stock 1.08 rom issued by Advent rather than the r2 kernel. I cannot say for sure as I haven't checked it myself, but I suspect that the r2 kernel may not be the culprit. I first saw the screen corruption after applying the PP to 1.06.5, long before the kernel was available. While testing my bluetooth/wifi issue last night I saw them on a stock 1.08 install, which I am led to believe has the PP code included. Seems to me the PP code is the culprit, but that's just my experience.
