Guest adamsharpe Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Hi everyone. Got my Vega a couple of weeks ago and lurked on here, until now... Have got Pauls r8 mod and loaded vega tools 3 this morning, mainly for the cwm. When i went to install, it said it was already on the vega, so i rebooted and held the power button and, lo and behold, it started with the recivery menu. BUT, when i try to access any of the options, the "press on the power button" doesnt seem to do anything. Am i doing sonething wrong, or do i have to do/install anything else? Also, is there an easy way to move the cursor back, up or down to correct any spelling errors (used to the "trackball" type control on the HTC Desire? Any help much appreciated. Many thanks. Adam.

Adam. err i dont know how i can help with the recovery, i would try reflash the recovery with the instructions given in pauls clockworks post. but you could try press the button harder when trying to select it. but for the issue with the cursor thing, there is a notion adam ink keyboard available at XDA now i dont have this device but i installed nearly all the apps from that thread on a friends vega. the browser was a bit tricky to use at first but got to the different UI though he has said dolphin works better than stock and notion adams browser. he loves the keyboard as did i, very easy to type. also the canvas program on there is amazing for a little doddle for kids heck even grown ups. hope to have helped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NI Keyboard is OK - especially for the cursor keys - however I am not keen on the white layout and would prefer predictive text etc. Does anyone know of a keyboard that has those facilities? Can't help with the other matter - sorry CJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWM is now working ok. Couldn't see how to get the Notion Ink keyboard onto the Vega, but not too keen on the design of it, so that looks like the next item to research on here. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zebrahead Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 so i rebooted and held the power button and, lo and behold, it started with the recivery menu. Hey, Regarding your recovery problems, By held the power button, do you mean power and back? Or any other key combination? to enter recovery mode? (In the same way as you would maybe with a Desire?) As far as I know, the VEGA bootloader does not support key combinations to enter recover (or at least the key combination is not know), and so what may look like recovery mode may not actually be recovery mode. I'm not too sure how I can explain what you are seeing, I was under the impression that you'd get a "Black screen of death" if you attempted to keycombo into recovery (maybe this has been patched? Although the bootloader has not been changed within my knowledge.... Maybe you did something to change it with "VEGA Tools"?) As far as I know, the only way to boot into recovery is through using Pauls recovery booting app. I take it you're seeing this CWM screen at present, does a hard reboot load android as expected?

The only other suggestion I can make is that I think (don't hold me to it), that certain better keyboard pro? (or similar name) layout has arrow key support. Good luck, Zeb ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck, Zeb ^^ The power button does nothing until you have chosen something in CWR, to get into CWR as you know you boot into it from android itself, you cannot get into it using any button combinations (as already stated). Once in CWR you use the volume buttons to navigate as you do on most Phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering whether you had managed to boot into some description of corrupt recovery mode through a common key combination. Glad it all worked out ^^ Zeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
