This rom should be a good base to start doing a decent port for our vega's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AntiCatalyst Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I've got the dump, but we need the boot.img, which isn't included at the moment. Probably won't be long :huh: someone has to dump that too sooner or later.. Anyway, devs what do you think, what are the chances a working port being released any time soon? I mean, i know they share the same SOC, but how much does that help? Is it a matter of just flashing this in plug&play and then "just" getting the components(wifi, acc, touchinput) to work? or is there major porting that needs to be done before even getting it to boot?

Might be a while, what with all the DMCA takedowns by Motorola. Because of their attitude towards developers and tweakers with their horrible locked bootloaders and now this, I will never buy another Motorola device. They are becoming worse than Apple!

Guest ss23 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Do we even have the same SOC? I thought the Xoom has a Tegra T25 where as the Vega has a Tegra T20? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AntiCatalyst Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) Do we even have the same SOC? I thought the Xoom has a Tegra T25 where as the Vega has a Tegra T20? actually, the Vega seems to have a t25 as well. At least if you can believe this Wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Tegra (The POV Mobii listed under T25 is another OEM brand of the Advent Vega) EDIT; Whoops, that list says T20 in the GPU section. But still, that just means the Xoom has a t20 too(assuming the article is correct) EDIT AGAIN: yep, a quick google search turns up multiple sources for the Xoom SOC being a t20, and not a single one saying it's t25.

Guest newbe5 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 NotionInkHacks seem to think they are close to porting Honeycomb to the G-Tab. If this happens, we will be able to use this to fairly easily get it working on the Vega also. Good times :huh: Zeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh right! Yeah I was going by the description on the Dixons website (where it says T20). Pretty silly from me considering how wrong they were with their whole new commercial!!

Guest wi-fli Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I was a bit disappointed today that the Xoom reviews all seemed to imply honeycomb still has a faint smell of beta about it...

Guest ss23 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I'm wondering whether the fact that the Xoom doesn't support microsd cards is because of the hardware or the software side of things. There's no real use of porting honeycomb if its the software and we can only use 512mb of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no real use of porting honeycomb if its the software and we can only use 512mb of space. I've seen it written a few places (but cannot cite quickly - sorry) that it's a software limitation that will be fixed fairly quickly. So probably by the time there's a usable Vega port (here's hoping...) the sd card problem will have been solved by Google or Moto. The Xoom certainly has a card slot.
