Guest CrArC Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Maybe of some use to somebody but i was really surprised how slow this rom was at first and it had a lot of lag going through menus and scrolling on the home screen.. and then i noticed a blue spinning circle on one of the screens.. i removed it by dragging to rubbish and now WOW! its super smooth!! Might be a one off issue of known and i've missed a thread on it.. but if not maybe some use On first boot it's bound to lock up while it sorts itself out. Thereafter it should be great! I'm loving it so far.
Guest dui Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 great image, thanks :P will a huawei e160 3g usb modem work with this image ?
Guest MaxiP Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) Looks good and works well but still had a FC in polaris office and the same issue with poweramp & cifsmanager. However, I can't boot to recovery. I've tried CWM and the gscript listed earlier but no joy. Will play a bit longer but suspect a complete rebuild will be needed. Anyone else experienced this ? * updated from 1.4 & cleared cache (not dalvik) before udate Edited May 25, 2011 by MaxiP
Guest CrArC Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Ok, one small thing I noticed on 1.5 so far is that it might kill the music player if it's running in the background when you're doing other things. I guess it's just manging memory but I suppose the problem is it thinks the music player process is as unimportant as the million other background processes. Probably an easy fix? Hardly world ending though! Can't confirm if this is unique to 1.5 as I never tried playing music in the background before (1.4 was a bit slow for it and 1.3 and previous unstable). But yeah - still the best release yet! Top notch!

Guest Panayioti Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Great work guys but there is a small problem, the app drawer misses out the bottom row and puts the apps on the next page. I dont mind but looks stupid. Thanks a lot anyway.
Guest MaxiP Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Hold power, reboot to recovery is an option in the new shutdown menu :P Brill - that does the trick ! Excellent work and this ROM just gets better and better.
Guest CoWPlagued Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Someone just pointed out to me that the light might have devoured Satan and escaped from the pit, seems it might be back after all! :P Oh god, oh god, oh god....... it is back, I can feel it burning into my soul and that extra minute of battery life....... gone forever! Great work guys but there is a small problem, the app drawer misses out the bottom row and puts the apps on the next page. I dont mind but looks stupid. Thanks a lot anyway. I would assume that it is intentional as the bottom row is reserved for the homescreen preview. Hold down on an app if you want to see what I'm talking about.

BETA 1.5.1 is now out! Fixes the Wifi issue some people had on 1.5! You can flash the 1.4to1.5.1 patch directly over 1.5 and it will update you :P newbe5
Guest receptor Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 just upgraded to 1.5 Its going to be a fantastic summer Thanks guys
Guest Pyr0x64 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) i just flashed the 1.4 to 1.5.1 update over 1.5 and seem to be having problems with superuser setcpu says root access not detected cifs no longer works :P [edit] found the prob, for some reason su was missing from the bin folder (symlink needed in the updater-script?) i just copied it from the xbin folder to the bin folder, chmodded it and setcpu and cifs work again *shrug* Edited May 25, 2011 by Pyr0x64

The cpu apps cannot force it above 216 when it happens, anyone have any suggestions as to how to bumpstart it back. Even if you set the minimum speed over 216 it still locks at 216, maybe a demo kernel that has a minimum of 400 or something.

Use cputuner its free and doesnt lockup at 216 ghz like setcpu (its setcpu that is the problem)

Yes you are correct but in 1.4 the bottom row had apps in it even though the apps covered the preview of homescreens.

Guest NeilLewis22 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 went from 1.4 to 1.5 as suggested but I still got wifi bug I dont think its a problem with the full 1.5 just a bug that people have seen more when going from 2.2 to 3.01
Guest CoWPlagued Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Use cputuner its free and doesnt lockup at 216 ghz like setcpu (its setcpu that is the problem) Cheers trying it now and shall report back. I had regular 216 lockups so it shouldn't take long. If setcpu is the problem we should perhaps change the advice to avoid it for the time being
Guest ukstrider Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 Just observation BBCiplayer workin ok in browser but the iplayer app has a half inch green band at bottom and the picture appears to be in very pale colours with fringeing and a halo effect around any figures, will keep testing,once again great work guys
Guest Nicky J Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) i get a force close if i try to adjust the volume levels via: Settings > Sound > Volume hard buttons work ok, and other volume control apps/widgets seem to work ok (eg audiomanager) anyone else getting this? (it did this in 1.4 too) Edited May 26, 2011 by Nicky J
Guest il_cholo Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) updated to 1.5.1 from 1.4 wiped dalvik and still got FC on launcher after it boots same issue as previous user on volume set up Edited May 26, 2011 by il_cholo

Guest HunteronX Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) thats what we actually think. But if they're version is stable and fully working then its a great oportunity to steal their stealed ROM. It is, I saw 'VegaComb' in the 'About Tablet' section of the video, and it said 'BETA1' also. Edited May 26, 2011 by HunteronX
