Here are a few... 1. R8- this is the rom wit the kitchen yes, and is gd for newbies, fast and smooth, and comes with the market, not much else. 2. Corvus5- This is a newer rom then R8, and is also very fast and smooth, comes wit the market and is a favorite of many. 3. Vegacomb 1.7- this is Honeycomb, simpless ;) (but still in beta phase, so not everything works) 4. Cm7- another fast slick rom, but i think its in beta still. so, take ur pick. hav u got the usb drivers?

First of all, about using Visual rte editor. If you look on the right hand side of the Modaco page when you're logged in, you'll see a bar labelled 'My Settings', Click it, and you'll see 'Enable RTE (visual) Editor. Make sure that is unchecked and you'll be able to post from the Vega. Next thing to do is to update your base ROM, by following the 'FULL update manual" in the 'downloads' section of www.myadventvega.co.uk. Make sure you follow the instructions to the letter, especially about having the Vega plugged into the power supply. The main reason for the previous step was to make sure you have all the necessary bits for updating your ROM. If it doesn't work, you can take it back. From here on, there are two ways to upgrade your Vega. I recommend this one: First of all, download the modded stock ROM to your PC. Instuctions and download link Here Next, install it as you would install the advent 1.10 update in the previous step. Once this is done you don't need to use your PC for upgrades ever again. Instead, to install the ROM of your choice you: 1. Download the ROM of your choice. You can find the links either through this forum or via google. 2. Start the ROM manager app. 3. Choose 'Reboot into recovery'. The Vega will reboot into recovery mode with a short menu at the top left of the screen. 4. You may want to perform a backup first. So select 'Backup' from the menu. Use the volume keys to move up and down the menu, and the power button to select a menu item. 5. When the backup is complete, select 'install zip file from SD card' then select 'choose zip file'. 6. Select the 'downloads' folder and then select the zip file you want. 7. You are then given the opportunity to confirm or backout. When you confirm, the installation begins immediately and takes several minutes. 8. Once intallation is complete, the install menu reappears. Press the hardware back button to get back to main menu, and select the reboot now option. The first boot of a new ROM takes quite a bit longer than normal, so give it a few minutes. ROMs available include Modaco R8 Corvus 5 (But you need to install the SP1 update as well) Cyanogenmod 7 (Gingerbread) Vegacomb (Beta Honeycomb) Edited July 24, 2011 by lesd
Guest Adam:) Posted July 24, 2011 Report Posted July 24, 2011 yeh, wat he said ^^^ ;) look at yaudig, was very helpful for updating the usb drivers.
Guest JackzR Posted July 24, 2011 Report Posted July 24, 2011 regarding the editor yes i done it on this site but i was wondering about for other forums i was using i dont think they have that option or should they? which software one is best to get skype working? + thanks for the help and the warm welcome

I don't use Skype, but I can install it on my Vega (with the modded stock ROM, Corvus5, and SP1). and, you're welcome

Guest trevor432990 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Posted July 24, 2011 Make sure you bookmark this how-to guide as it's a must read for all new and old Vega owners alike. ;)
Guest Oldbarzo Posted July 31, 2011 Report Posted July 31, 2011 Hi I don't think it will void the warranty as they released the source code for the Vega and have also pointed to Paul at MoDaCo on the Vega website. Which I think means that they sanction modding. Stransky (Douglas)
Guest Yogimax Posted July 31, 2011 Report Posted July 31, 2011 Hi I don't think it will void the warranty as they released the source code for the Vega and have also pointed to Paul at MoDaCo on the Vega website. Which I think means that they sanction modding. Stransky (Douglas) And the first thing they will do if you have a problem, is to flash the latest stock ROM onto your Vega and overwrite whichever ROM was there! B)
Guest Kevrae Posted July 31, 2011 Report Posted July 31, 2011 wouldn't worry too much about warranty for changing the rom as the warranty is a hardware warranty and so any changes to software will not affect that as long as you can put it back to factory rom as thats what they will do there testing with.
Guest JackzR Posted August 6, 2011 Report Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the help guys Loving the vega so far going to be updating this badboy saturday afternoon. Whats the best software to go with i want it fastest for watching online streams / youtube Edited August 6, 2011 by JackzR

Hi Jackrz. As an alternative, you could try following the instructions at myadventvega but install the modded stock ROM instead . Then you download the Custom ROM of your choice to your Vega and use CWM to install it.

You should not select "USB Serial Bus Controllers", nothing to do with the Vega and searching for an INF is correct. The INF is the driver installation information file. Search for YAUDIG and follow that, AUDI does the same thing automagically.
Guest JackzR Posted August 8, 2011 Report Posted August 8, 2011 hi guys managed to do the first step installed 1.10 it was because i didn't unzip the files i thought i already did feel like a fool now :P also to add i did follow the guide and read sticky's
