[ROM-FroYo AOSP] FroYo-Desire 0.4b[FRF91] WIFI SLEEP | LED | UV-KERNEL

Hi everyone
I've managed to get a fairly good working build now of FRF91 from AOSP. I was inspired mainly by both AdamG and meLIanTQ for there excellent work on both there AOSP built ROM's, so thought I'd have a go at it myself, so here is the result
I'm building this ROM to suit my own personal needs, with various little things thrown in for good measure, but it will remain 100% AOSP source. No APK's will be modified *after* the build, all customisation on my part will be done via the overlay.
THIS IS NOT A SENSE-BASED ROM
ROM Details
Built from latest AOSP source. (FRF-91 2.2-r1.1)
2.1Mb Kernel Image Size so hopefully no problems for people with Bad Blocks
Kernel Base - 2.6.32.9 configured and compiled by myself (UV Support, no OC)
Self-modded Kernel Fix to keep phone charged at 100% while plugged in (used to drop to 89% and charge) (details >here<)
ext2, ext3 and ext4 support
cifs.ko, tun.ko and openvpn
Classic A2SD+ from my original dalvik-cache mod from Rooted 2.1 Eclair for Desire (details >here<) Copies Apps, App-Private and Dalvik-Cache to SD.
A2SD Fixed to help prevent White Screen Hangs (working with ext2 and ext3 partitions, needs testing with ext4)
Latest BusyBox (1.16.2)
Rooted with latest SuperUser 2.2 apk
Massive APN List
h264 Camcorder
Latest FRF91 Google Apps
3G/H Icon Fix to display H during HSDPA connection.
Default Launcher is LauncherPro Beta
WaveSecure installed to /system/app
setcpu.txt copied to sdcard JUST incase you want to use SetCPU to ramp down the CPU Speeds to help conserve battery life (remember, no OC or UV support in kernel, but I do intend to patch UV support in future releases)
The following items have also been removed:
Facebook (Installable from Market)
Twitter (Installable from Market)
Original Android Launcher
Amazon MP3 (Installable from Market)
Whats Working (currently from what I can tell as its what I use)
Facebook Sync (including profile pictures displaying in Phone App and Message App)
WiFi
USB & WiFi Teather
Notification LED's
Camera
NO ECHO
I've also not included items such as SpareParts, or LeoParts... SpareParts and LeoParts can be had from the Market.
Please refer to the 2nd post for a breakdown of changes/fixes/known issues with the ROM
Installation
Fresh Install
I recommend you do a FULL WIPE before you install this ROM if you are coming from another ROM.
Future Upgrades
No wipe is explicitly required in order to use this ROM, however if you do encounter issues of any kind, it is recommended that you wipe your device and reproduce the issue before raising it here.
Just to say. Whenever I release a new Update, I always just "flash over" the existing one without a Wipe and go from there. I'm building each release with this ethos in mind, as its pretty annoying having to do a Wipe on each update!
DOWNLOAD
YOU WILL NEED THE 5.xx RADIO ROM FLASHED TO USE THIS ROM - 4.xx RADIOS ARE NOT, AND WILL NOT BE SUPPORTED SORRY!!
Get the latest RADIO's >HERE<
Also, remember this is a ROM I'm making for myself and a few friends, so I will try to sort out bugs as-and-when they are found, but as I'm still learning how to do this well, it may take a little time for me to sort!
Also during the FIRST initial boot after a fresh install, it can take about 30 seconds for LauncherPro to start responding. THIS IS NORMAL. Any further reboots by yourself, or upgrades in future (without wipes) don't have this issue.
FroYo-Desire 0.4b
Thanks & Credits

Updated first post with a link to the modified source file

You sir are an absolute saint
Thanks so so much
5 STARS!

very very nice work.. good job.. i love AOSP rom.. i'll try it tomorrow.. one question. the biggest problem is wifi on OD and AOSPDesire (sleep mode). wifi is working on this rom when goes to sleep? Thanks

How would we go about manually installing the kernel fix? do we flash it?
Thanks again and sorry for my ignorance

cenkaan - What exactly is the WiFi sleep problem? I go into Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Wi-Fi Settings.
Press Menu key, choose Advanced
Set Wi-Fi sleep policy to Never... Doesn't disconnect for me, but it does run in a low-power mode.
I've noticed using something like SpareParts, has *no* effect on this setting what-so-ever. It only works for me by doing it this way.
cgrec92 - thats the source file for the battery driver which must be compiled in with the kernel from source. As far as I know, the boot.img (my kernel) is compatible with OpenDesire (used it on there myself). It is already included in DeFrost, AOSPDesire, and I think AdamG might be adding it to his future updates as he did ask me where he could obtain the mod

i use wifi policy and set to never but this is not solution for me on other AOSP mods. Thanks for the quick reply

Well I've had the desire running all night and it kept its connection But if it is an issue, please let me know what you do for the issue to show (any other apps used to manage it) and I'll see what I can do

can't wait and i'll try it now

Last question I promise
So the boot.img contains the kernel (you have modified this)
I can use your boot.img on other ROMs such as AdamG's seeing that yours is based on this?

no it's not working...full wipe and later set to never but it's not working..
-sleep mode-
Destination address 192.168.1.86
Packets sent 10
Packets received 0
Average round-trip time 0.000 ms
in the meantime rom is very nice. great job.. Pls help me.. I want to use this rom. i loved it

I modified the *source* at which the kernel is compiled and built from. I then configured the base options for the kernel, compiled it, modified the various init scripts (which are supplied via the AOSP source build), and made the ramdisk, packed the boot.img... etc etc
If you wish to use this kernel on another rom (such as OpenDesire), then you will also need to copy the folder /system/lib/modules from my ROM to OpenDesire also. You will also need to manually edit /system/etc/init.d/**** script (whatever it is loading modules) or if there isn't one, create one to load ext2, ext3, ext4 and ipv6...
Bit more involving than I first made out really lol! Sorry...

Strange indeed...
I've been reading a bit in other threads, does your WiFi MAC start with something other than 00:23?? As from what I read in AOSPDesire thread, it occurs to phones whose MAC starts with different numbers to that... Again, sorry its not working for you...
Did some digging, looks like a fault which is also apparent on other HTC devices, including the N1
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9781
According to that (or so I think it makes out) it's also dependant on the make/model/type of Router which you also use...
So us Desire owners are most definitely not alone...

Ok that's enough hassle for you
Thanks so much for all your help
Fantastic developer will download your ROM as soon as i get home, thanks

thanks for the help and great rom.. and yes, what a pitty my wifi mac address is begin with 38:E7..

The same issue does NOT occur on any HTC ROMs so am wondering what HTC has done specifically to address the problem...

hello sorrry i'm new.... (sorry for my bad english)
in this rom is not sense installed? Can someone upload pictures.

Sense is not installed, no...
Pictures - couple are in the first post of this thread (at the bottom of it)
*update*
Updated to v0.1b, enabled new "Conservative" power governor for the CPU in the Kernel. Use SetCPU to enable this in the phone itself, will hopefully improve battery life, but will have a slight effect on performance when this option is enabled.

[ROM][V0.2d][13-sep-2010] Froyo 2.2 MotoBlur for Milestone

I have now more success with the Froyo 2.2 MotoBlur(Milestone 2) port to milestone but it required a more technical approach than just lib replacements here..
Most features seen in MotoFrenzy is also shared here. both good and bad ones. Battery wise this image offers utilities to manage wifi inactivity and battery training policies.
I feel that the features found in the MotoBlur, justify a more proper release, than initially, as Battery management and scalable widgets seems like nice features to me.
You can follow updates on Twitter now: Dexter Picard (DexterPicard) on Twitter or
me a Red bull, and you're sure i stay up working on this mod.
12.07.2013: Link to v0.2 here, since old website is no longer available

Current state of this release is:
IssuesPartly based on milestone 2 release version.
Fully deodex'd rom (requires little more memory, but is sufficient in Motorola phone environment)
* It should noted, that Milestone 2 comes with 512MB RAM, which might for more hours become an issue on milestone, if froyo2.2 memory management handles this badly.​WorkingMotoBlur Froyo2.2 functionality fully working.
Languages supported (enabled) Dutch, English , Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portugese
Data icons fixed (E/G/3G/H) is now shown.

BlockBuster DRM movie viewing
Backup services (work only with a valid Verizon sim-card)
​apps removed
MyVerizon
CityID
Boot animation (took 4MB of system space, added QuickOffice instead)
BlockBuster application
Firewall service (missing libs in original stock firmware, might be on purpose it's removed)​2.1 kernel limitations
As with the other 2.2 releases, these functions are limited due to missing kernel upgrades on our milestone.
Full RIL support cannot be implemented as driver is officially not available.
Camera kernel requirements for focus.
Native Apps2SD in settings.
Swap? (we could only hope)​
Bugs certainly exists, as this image has many builtin functions, so if you find any, report them here, and ill look at it.

just try it,phone have no sound.....
but still smooth,does this overclocked??

how slow it is? It can be overclocked?
Downloading

This has been officially dropped now..
the Droid2 uses a different RIL driver handling using a socket for commication which out milestone currently does not support. so there is no chance of having drivers from any current firmware on milestone to run with the droid2 firmware.
you can get it running, but no audio on phone when talking, if you do see it running but calls are dropped, "ro.mot.eri=1" should be disabled to 0 if you wish to pursue testing it.. if it appears slow, you need to disable the "TtsService.apk" in the /app folder, and its runs optimal.

Glad to hear you're going back to focus on Frenzy. I have pretty much zero interest in anything else until I have Froyo running on my Milestone properly. I'd be running it already if the camera and native A2SD were working.

you will have to wait for an official, as the kernl is all our problem here in regards to camera, which i have no idea on how to solve unless the droid 2.2 kernel gets out, and its can be extracted from this, so we know how the device should function for us.
i admit to not being able to fix camera or Apps2SD as it looks right now, as no kernel provides the solution we need.

At this point, my hope is that the people working on the Droid X find a way to circumvent the bootloader. In turn we could use it on the milestone.

Muito Bom,
Tô louco para testar

My point exactly too, i've been chasing up on the developers over at alldroid.org and at koushikdutta.com/ who both are developing ways to circumvent the bootloader. They said that there work couild be easily ported to our Milestone considering our phone uses the same locked bootloader as the Droid X. They have said that they will be releasing a version of Froyo tomorrow so I think it would be a good idea to see what there work involves and see if we can apply it to our Milestone.

Good news,thank you!

So, when can we have a first hand feel of your art-piece?
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App

Hmmmm it seems that the Froyo image that will be released today for Droid X is actually a Leak. Therefore, it most likely will not imply circumvention of the bootloader.
Shame. Well, we will know for sure in a couple of hours.

droid2 is a better match for our milestone, driver wise as well.
So i would not get my hopes up for droidx to be just as good port.
But with my changes in MotoBlur so far, its getting much better.
I have not updated thread here, but several fixes are added, and im trying to get USB activation working, so thats not an issue, which it suddenly became last night.. Testing is good!

Excellent job Dexer! Thanks so much for all your efforts.
Have you found a way to circumvent the Kernel problems with the camera and app2sd or is that still a dead end?

you hit a soft spot here, but no, with the protection motorola put on the kernel, and the fact that apps2sd functionality, swap, and the camera focuc driver is tightly integrated, and second we dont know how the focus driver works at all.
the official kernel2.2 for our milestone needs to get out, or maybe the droid 2.2 kernel source. but lets see how it goes..
Rumours are September, so lets hope it holds water...

First release v0.1 is now available online.
Mirrors will be posted, where i find the space to put 125MB.

[ROM] VegaComb BETA 1.7 - by TeamNewCo and TeamVillain

Welcome To VegaComb BETA 1.7!
Apologies that this has been so long in the making, I haven't been sitting idly by, but real-life responsibilities mean that I don't have anywhere near the time to work on the Vega as I once did. BUT, we are ready for a BETA 1.7 release! So, without further ado, here is what I can remember of the changelog:
Rebel1's 3G patch is now built-in to this build by default.
The /data/tombstones folder will now be automatically cleared out every reboot, to try and avoid it devouring all of your available /data space. This is a stop-gap until I can fix the problem fully.
The default Browser has been edited to remove the Asus homepage and replace it with Google, also TabletRoms.com has been added as the first bookmark.
Default dictionaries have been added to the default keyboard by popular demand! Languages are: En, De, Cs, Es, Fr, It and Nl. You will have to enable dictionary suggestions in the Keyboard settings to see these.
Default system wallpaper has been changed from the boring blue stock Honeycomb one to a much nicer abstract wallpaper.
A whole multitude of wallpapers have been added to the built-in Wallpaper-Picker, this is a mix of the nicest wallpapers I could find from the Acer Iconia, the Asus Transformer, the Motorola Xoom and some custom ones from around the net!
The Youtube app has been re-hacked to dramatically increase the quality of videos. The HQ option now works correctly to switch between high and low quality, and (while not 720p) the higher setting is VERY crisp and clear compared to before.
FLASH! Ahhhhahahahhh (think Queen). download the OFFICIAL flash player from the market (10.3 currently), download Opera Mobile from the market, watch flash. Simples. Green bar glitching, ghosting and other flash strangeness should now have been all fixed. Flash video can still be a little jerky as it is being rendered in software, overclock to get around this if you feel you have to (but it does work well at the default speed!)! BIG thanks to brucelee666 for this, when my transfer cable broke, he picked up and did a ton of testing to get this working!
Brand new (extra shiny) boot animation has been added. HUGE thanks to ThinkDevoid from the TabletROMs team for creating this for me!
The required default /system partition size for all future VegaComb releases is 155mb, we now have much more room to play with which removed a HUGE limitation that was actively holding me back!
More? Who knows, my memory is crappy
Before you update using either the 1.6-1.7 upgrade patch, or install 1.7 from scratch, you MUST be running my new ModdedStock base as this increases the /system partition size to make VegaComb BETA 1.7 fit. IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS THE INSTALL WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY AND YOU WILL SOFTBRICK YOUR VEGA! Please fully read the ModdedStock thread to make sure you understand how this works!
I have been working HEAVILY in conjunction with MrGuy of TabletROMs now for a while, and especially on BETA 1.7 (Thank him for many things including the awesome YouTube app hack). Together we have now not only updated VegaComb, but now AdamComb as well for the NotionInk Adam. Vega owners owe a lot to MrGuy, so show him your love people!
Update notes from previous versions:
Code:
[I]Previous Notes:[/I]
[B]Changes in BETA1.6:[/B]
Spare Parts settings fixed - Setting power button to "Home, then sleep" now works correctly.
Bluetooth should now correctly turn on and pair "out of the box" without tweaking.
DPI settings have been changed. The default DPI is still 120, but you can now manually set this to 160 if you wish, unfortunately though the Google Apps will not function correctly at this density (although most other apps should now be fine).
Youtube app has been hacked (thanks to MrGuy for wokring with me for this!) to disable HQ playback by default on all videos. This should now mean that you can play all YouTube vids through the app. The HQ button is still there, but if you select it, the video will not play.
Default CPU speed set to 1.2ghz instead of 1ghz as there appears to be some strange speed issues when defaulted to 1ghz.
Fixed an issue where you needed root to read contents of NTFS drives.
Added OpenVPN support (thanks to Scanno!)
Hopefully fixed any lingering 3G issues (thanks to rebel1!)
Possible fix to GPS issues but this cannot be tested by me (unfortunately!).
Added a seperate download for an EXPERIMENTAL FlashPlayer hack. This hack unfortunately does not fix flash video playback on most sites (YouTube and BBC iPlayer do not work for example, but the small videos on the Yahoo news website do). What this hack DOES fix, is most other Flash applications, such as web games etc. Using this patched version of Flash, Kongregate Arcade should work correctly, as well as other apps such as Zoodles Kid Mode that use flash within the application to play games. Please use this at your own risk and report the results! Trying to play flash video using this patched version WILL crash your browser, you have been warned ;)
Added an animated VegaComb boot screen.
Possible speed increases due to various changes to the init + memory management tweaks.[B]EDIT: Apparently, this has caused a much more significant speed increase than was expected, 1.6 has been reported to be VERY fast! :)[/B]
[B]VegaComb BETA 1.5.2 Patch![/B]
Small patch to apply over the top of 1.5.1 (ONLY to be used on 1.5.1) which fixes Root (for people who upgraded) and App2SD for everyone. Link at the bottom of the thread!
[B]VegaComb BETA 1.5.1 Patch![/B]
This patch simply fixes a small issue with Wifi in 1.5, you can use the 1.4to1.5.1 patch to either upgrade from 1.4 to 1.5.1, or to patch 1.5 to 1.5.1 if you had already flashed it and have the issue :) Apologies for the bug!
[B]Welcome to VegaComb BETA 1.5![/B]
Hello all! We are back, as promised! The release cycle is slowing down a little now as expected, but we still have some damn juicy treats for you in the BETA 1.5 package :) So, without mucking about, here is what's changed since 1.4:
Speed... I spoke about this a little in the [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMqeqcRh5pM"]development update I put on youtube[/URL], but just to clarify here... We were not happy with the overall speed of the ROM in BETA 1.4. While repairing the stability issues in 1.3, we went a little overboard with "safe" settings, making 1.4 rock solid, but noticeably slower than previous releases. We didn't want to reach a "happy medium" with part-speed and part stability... and so, there has been a full review of all the memory settings, testing dozens of combinations until we reached a setup that offers both impressive speed (at least the speed of 1.3 IMO) without (hopefully!) any of the reliability drawbacks. And so, our hope is that 1.5 will be both the fastest, AND most stable release so far!
Bluetooth should now be fully working, searching and pairing has been tested with several devices, so pair away!
The Screenshot option in the Display section of Settings was causing Force Closes, this is now fixed, so you can take screenshots of your VegaComb tablet in action :)
The 3G APN (and related) settings should now be correctly visible in the settings menu, for those of you with 3G cards.
Issue which was causing the Launcher to sometimes Force Close on boot should now be fixed.
Problem with the media scanner not correctly locating music on the MicroSD card is now resolved.
Overclock increased back to a maximum of 1.5ghz.
Xpad support should now be available again (to connect Xbox pads over USB).
The Dreaded blue light of DOOM under the camera has been banished to the fourth dimension of hell.
Force Close problem when downloading from the stock browser or Gmail/Email apps should now be fixed.
Force close that was sometimes plaguing the recent apps menu should now be fixed.
Google maps framework has been added. this was previously causing certain apps (such as Tweetdeck) to immediately force close when you logged in. These apps should now be working correctly.
We have had a whip-around and provided the Honeycombs on the boot screen with an extra face each (PHEW! Pedants, move along, nothing to see here :P)
Shutdown menu has now been put in place (thanks to the AMAZING work of HomerSp), it is not the ordinary power menu, but a lovely custom one that provides you with the options for: Home, Shut Down, Reboot and Reboot to Recovery!
Because of the new shutdown menu, the recovery reboot app has now been removed (not needed!).
Added working screen calibration app. This will help with most issues (like home/back buttons) but does not fix the top-of-screen sensitivity issue as of yet I'm afraid!
App drawer has been edited to remove the bottom row of icons, so you can now better access the screen previews below them when placing a shortcut :)
Again, there may be other stuff that was fixed and forgotten :P Let us know if you find anything!
[B][I]I also want to make an important note for those who are confused... I am NOT working on this ROM alone, this has been a group effort from the start. Originally worked on by myself and Corvus (with help from the guys here at TabletROMS. Since then we hooked up with HomerSp (LEGEND!) who does magic things with Android that I really don't understand (some say he's a clone grown at google), and the project has moved in leaps and bounds. Unfortunately, Corvus has recently been forced to back out of this project due to time limitations in his real life, with work and family, so now it is primarily myself and Homer who work on VegaComb. I hope this clears things up, credit where credit is due![/I][/B]
[b]Welcome to VegaComb BETA 1.4 - Codename: Arnold Veganator (Hasta La Vista Processes)![/b]
As promised! BETA 1.3 was more of a features update, trying to get the ROM more in-line with where we would like it giong forwards, cleaning up files, opimizing and getting as much as possible working. We realized at that time that tehre were memory issues with the build, but we are trying to take a modulated approach to developing this ROM, so one step at a time :)
1.4 is primarily a performance release. You won't see any HUGE new features here (other than Huawei 3g support, thanks to rebel1!) but a lot has gone on in the background to try and make this ROM useable as your daily OS. Memory values have been tweaked, the kernel has been re-compiled with HoneyComb specifically in mind and (hopefully!) all of the freezes and hard lockups present in 1.3 have now been eradicated.
[b]Changes in BETA 1.4[/b]:
Kernel has been recompiled from scratch (thanks to @HomerSp!) gearing it for HoneyComb. [I]Some features such as xpad support are not yet present in this kernel, they will be added back in soon, but there shouldn't be much other than that.[/I]
Kernel bug that was preventing lowmemorykiller from working effectively has been fixed in this build.
Memory tweaks made in init to values better suited to both the Vega and to Honeycomb.
CPU clocking now defaults to 1ghz instead of 1.5, the top-end has been lowered down to 1.4 for now (this will be put back to 1.5 hopefully in the next release). Install SetCPU (from XDA) or download CPU Master from the market (free) to overclock if you want.
Support for Huawei 3G dongles added (HUGE thanks to rebel1 for this patch!) - this has NOT been tested as of yet, as I don't own a 3g dongle! :P
EGL patch tweaked slightly taking a new approach, hopefully making this simpler to manage in the future.
The issue where the battery indicator was not updating correctly MAY be fixed in this build (not 100% confirmed yet)
Replaced an icon I missed when the BACK button is pressed (oops!)
Adjusted a couple of apps to save some space in /system.
[I]Please make sure you ask for help and post bugs in the threads provided, I am getting WAY too many PM's to answer them all (sorry, don't take it personally!).[/I]
[B]Changes in BETA 1.3[/B]
Switched to Transformer Frameworks - Better fit for our hardware and to stay in line with what the Adam guys are doing.
New frameworks are more streamlined, should make the UI feel snappier overall.
Framework edited which should allow all web related apps to render correctly (not flash)!
[i]This means that you can now use browsers you download from the market like Miren and Dolphin, and news readers such as Pulse will now work.[/i]
Wifi issue that caused you to need to reboot after the first flash before Wifi would turn on is now fixed. You can connect straight away after flashing the ROM!
Corporate email setup added to Accounts & sync (all security settings work correctly, but remote wipe does not factory restet the device as of yet, but is does disconnect the emails).
Screenshot function added (select in Settings > Display). You can take screenshots by long-press of the Recent Apps softkey.
The Calendar app is back from Vacation and ready to organize your life.
The Books app has gotten over it's shyness and now shouldn't dissapear shortly after boot. This is still slightly strange so it might go walkies if you don't pin it down :/
Working Recovery Reboot app added, this one works so you no longer need gscript to reboot to recovery! (thanks to Paul O'Brien for this app!)
VegaComb Beta simple boot logo added.
REALLY annoying black fade on the right-side when using the notifications popup has been removed as it refused to display correctly.
MicroSD card now correctly displays as what it is, instead of showing as Internal USB storage.
Moving apps to the MicroSD should now work correctly, and apps launch fine, even if you have USB debugging turned on.
USB external storage now shows correctly, and gives a notification when it is plugged in (you can click on the notification to browse files or dismount the USB storage).
Can now correctly mount FAT, EXT and NTFS USB storage and browse through the file browser.
When you connect the Vega to the PC with your USB cable, you now get a notification allowing you to mount your SD card over the USB to share your files!
Doubled the ammount of memory that was available to apps in order to try and combat some of the freeze-up issues (MAKE SURE YOU WIPE DALVIK CACHE WHEN YOU INSTALL THIS BETA!)
Other stuff I've forgotten again :/
[B]Welcome to VegaComb BETA1a[/B]...
1a release is a very small patch to the installer script to make sure everything is installed correctly!
[B]What's new in BETA1?[/B]
This is a HUGELY new build, and has required a ton of testing, so please bear this in mind :P
Files have been streamlined and some slowdown bugs should have been fixed, you should see a nice little speed increase in this build.
SuperUser is FINALLY fixed! [B]No... I really mean it this time :P[/B]
WiFi has been patched. You will still have to reboot as it will lock the first time you try to turn it on, but after that it should be much more stable than before, and shouldn't require you to toggle WiFi on/off all the damn time.
The Dolby Audio section in the Settings menu was causing Force Close errors, so this has now been removed from the menu completely.
Web browser has been hacked to prevent you having to disable EGL rendering in order for it to work.
Gmail and Email apps have been FIXED. You can now read your emails in both apps, they should be working perfectly as far as I have tested.
Bluetooth libs and binaries have been added. Bluetooth now turns on without any errors, but I cannot yet confirm if it actually works. If someone tests this, please let me know!
WiFi has been patched to connect correctly to ad-hoc networks. So you can now tether your Vega to a phone such as the HTC Hero.
The whole image has been SHRUNK (massively) to fit into the Vega's default partition size. It's a hell of a squeeze, and some apps have had to be pushed to /data to make it fit. All of these are apps that can be re-downloaded from the market like maps etc) other than two, the Android keyboard (it's a huge file :P) and the Android Music app. If you prefer to use a different keyboard, you can remove this one, but if you wipe /data, you will have NO keyboard installed, and the world might implode :P
This is now a ClockworkMod image, designed to be used on the Vega's default partition tables, so DO NOT flash this over the top of ALPHA4. Re-flash 1.09 (or some other standard image) before installing this through CWM. You now have a healthy 293mb to play with in /data, so you can download stuff off the market without worrying like in ALPHA4 :)
OK, LOTS more stuff has changed, but I can't remember a lot of it, I'm sure it will come back to me, but my brain is a little fried right now and I need a beer :P
[B]Updates from ALPHA4:[/B]
Gapps WORKING! (Huge effort on IRC, big thanks to MrGuy!)
NTFS usb drives should now be detected in host mode (not tested)
Moved some apps to /data and shrunk the /system partition to 260mb to give you some more space now that the market works!
3D Photo Browser, Books, Maps, Youtube, Google Talk and Music Apps moved to /data (you can uninstall them from there to save space, if you wipe data/factory reset you will lose them!)
Browser patched to turn off EGL rendering by default, so no more need to use about:debug anymore.
SuperUser fixed!! (Hopefully properly this time! :P) [B](ONLY JOKING I BROKE IT AGAIN! :P)[/B]
Other stuff I've forgotten :P
[B]Updates fromAlpha3:[/B]
SD Card is now detected
Audio fixed (HomerSp, legend :) )
WiFi Fixed (Guess who? :P ) (This is still buggy, the first time you turn it on, it will not work. Reboot, then try again. Sometimes need to toggle on/off to get it running)
G-Sensor fixed (yup, you can rotate happily now!)
Bottom-Bar Home button fixed.
Lock screen added.
Hardware buttons now work, power to sleep/wakeup etc.
Added Spare Parts, you can set power to home/sleep.
Root and Superuser added (you should be able to use CPU tools to overclock now). [B][I](WHOOPS I BROKE THIS! SEE BELOW ON HOW TO FIX!)[/I][/B]
Bunch of changes in build.prop
More updated libs and binaries than you can shake a llama at.
[B]Initial Features from Alpha1:[/B]
It boots!
Hardware Acceleration!
Widgets.
Most (not tested) android apps should run.
What doesn't work (updated as of 1.7):
Camera Still FC.
Flash player doesn't work in apps or in the default browser (Opera Mobile only!)
Battery indicator doesn't always update correctly (wipe battery stats tog et around this).
Audio has been reported as "Tinny" - we are looking in to this.
Factory reset (and remote exchange wiping) not working.
Cannot connect to PEAP Wifi networks.
We will keep working on this!
CREDITS!
Myself and Corvus have put a whole ton of work in to this, but there are others who deserve praise for all of their work:
HomerSp, for his brilliant work on fixing the Hardware acceleration, sound, wifi, the world, curing cancer and generally being awesome!
The guys working on the NotionInk Adam port here at TabletROMs - They have helped us a LOT both with their original port to use as a base, and a wealth of help they have given us on IRC to get this working, our original port was based on files from the SDK, Xoom and Transformer, we are now completely basing our work on their amazing ROM (which is based on the Transformer and Iconia) Thanks guys!.
MrGuy has worked with me extensively on version 1.7 (and with lots of parts before!), so HUGE thanks to him!
Lenny from VillainROM. Lenny has pretty much tested and approved EVERY build of VC to date, given opinions and hilighted bugs. Thanks a lot man!
THE DOWNLOAD COMES IN 2 FLAVOURS! A full ROM for flashing from scratch, or if you are already running 1.6, there is a handy-dandy 1.6-1.7 update patch! download the right one for you!

EDIT BY ADMIN:: To receive honeycomb updates, please join us on twitter |here|

cool intersting times ahead! good luck on port, hopefully 3.0 sourcecode out sometime soon

In the title it says xoom(ish) port but it looks more like a transformer port in the video? Either way Honeycoooooomb! Good luck guys

Good luck and keep up the good job!

It is a mix of all 3. SDK, Transformer and Xoom. I took a few libs from the Xoom, as well as a ton of stuff from the Adam Transformer port and the SDK files factored in too. It's kind of a Frankenstein-monster effect going on Changed the title to reflect this!

Cool, great work. Am pretty certain the source will actually be released soon. Googles i/o is on tuesday and am sure this is when they are gunner announce or hopefully release the source for honeycomb, or possibly icecream, which will be a mashup of gingerbread and honeycomb am sure.
So hopefully that will help getting honeycomb onto the vega

Well done guys, keep the good work going.

FRESH TODAY 9th May 2011 11:30AM EDT
Cross collaboration between devs of sister tablets in the ##adamroot freenode IRC channel this morning!
Devs: HomerSp got hardware acceleration working, newbe5 got it working on the Advent Vega (video demo below) and DJ_Steve applied them to the Adam HC rom and confirmed to now be working smoothly!
9th May 2011 12:05 EDT
DJ_Steve showsoff hardware acceleration implementation on Notioink Adam.

I encourage guys, let's take the VEGA to infinity and beyond

your second video looks pretty smooth any reason why a dev only download isnt appropriate ? not pushing this is amaing work you must have great patience just intrigued

Curious to know how much space is left for app install after Honeycomb is put on the vega???

I'm staggered at how smooth H/C is from the video!
I did try but i had a falling out with nvflash so i'll look forward to a update.zip I can use, I assume when wifi is working!
I did spy from the video there didn't seem to be any gApps, I assume this will be added unless there is a seperately gApps download for H/C?

hopefully honeycomb sourcecode released at todays event at 5 oc'lock london time, who nows we might even get an update from advent or pov.

i'd be surprised tbh!
I was under the impression from Advent we would be getting 2.3 and the source code has been out for quite some time and still nothing. yet you can get a CM nightly which is 2.3.4.
Unless they've had access to the H/C as a vendor and been working on that but some how i doubt it :S

Wow, a mention on the front page!
Congrats on this, guys!

Wow. Does this mean hardware acceleration may make its way into other Android devices? I hope so!

[ROM] [3.2] Vegacomb 3.2 Build 9n and 9b Update3

Ok,
here is our new release.
Well... Here we are at last! Whole new ROM, whole new thread
For a long time we have been working to build the best possible version of HoneyComb to the Advent Vega. It has been a LONG road, with many hacks and pitfalls along the way. We started with the messiest set of files anyone has ever seen, and we have now progressed to this. Full-fledged, GPU accelerated, NATIVE, Honeycomb 3.2 on the Advent Vega.
There's no going back now. I'm so happy with this ROM that I'm actually going a little crazy with affection. There are still some bugs... Rebooting to CWM causes a stale boot, you have to hold power to turn the tab off, then on next bot you get CWM. Still no camera, bluetooth isn't working. But other than that... Well, I'll let you guys see for yourself.
On the speaker issue, I feel I must put a quick note here... We BELIEVE that the "Overheating speaker" issue is now resolved. Audio levels are now well within the safe limits, and voltages are back at what should be a very safe level. But as always, please be VERY careful, unfortunately we cannot be responsible for any hardware failures resulting from using a custom ROM, but we are very confident that this issue should now be totally resolved.
VegaComb 3.2 Build 9b und 9n Update3 Features:
Update1+2 included
The clock and date issue should now been fixed for all
GPU RAM reduced to 96MB , more RAM for Apps
support for high Wifi channels like 12 + 13
new Honeycomb market
support for the soon coming GPS App included
Downloads, please choose the right Version (original ROM download is at the bottom of this thread!)! (or you Bootloop) :
Update 3 for Build9n: VegaComb_HC3.2_Build9n_update3.zip
Update 3 for Build9b: VegaComb_HC3.2_Build9b_update3.zip
VegaComb 3.2 Build 9b und 9n Update2 Features:
Fix for Bluetooth MAC addressing to hopefully make BT work correctly now.
Above fix should now also make WiFi considerably more stable.
Fix for people who were experiencing issues with the Market not being able to install apps.
Downloads, please choose the right Version (original ROM download is at the bottom of this thread!)! (or you Bootloop) Update 2 can be installed directly over 9n OR 9n-Update1 (it includes all of the Update 1 and Update 2 changes in a single package):
Update 2 for Build9n: VegaComb_HC3.2_Build9n_update2.zip
Update 2 for Build9b: VegaComb_HC3.2_Build9b_update2.zip
VegaComb 3.2 Build 9b und 9n Update1 Features:
Working Deep Standby
Updated camera lib
Re-added App Drivemount
VegaComb 3.2 Build 9b Features:
•Coarse location discovery (based on WiFi connection) is now working correctly.
•Updated camera libraries to the latest version thanks to the development effort by many (including Eduardo and Redscorpion) over at MoDaCo. Google Talk video chat should now be working, as well as the stock Camera app. Other apps have been tested but there is a possibility that not all of them work (please test and let us know!), but we felt that it was more important for Gtalk to work as the camera isn't much use for actually taking pictures
•Added Eduardo's accelerometer patch. This should allow much more responsive accelerometer with no lag.
•Power management for bluetooth/wireless has been fixed. Hopefully this should stop them interfering with eachother when one is disabled.
•Screen calibration functionality built in to the kernel to calibrate on the fly.
•USB on-the-fly host/slave switcher integrated in to the kernel, this should allow switching between USB host/slave on the tablets side USB port without the need to reboot!
•Disabled device suspend when the tablet is connected to an active USB connection, preventing the USB connection from being severed.
•Added a brand new app called: Shuttle Tools which includes the toggles for the above two options. Allowing you to calibrate the screen or switch USB modes from within Android.
• Better language support then 9n, newer Gapps
• No apps are moved to data
• It have a bigger system partition then 9n, so when you have bad nand blocks, this could be work better for you
• When you use the Full Rom Installer you don´t need to flash ModdedstockV2 (Beware when you flash the new full rom it is like the ModdedStockV2 install, you loose all data)
• All future updates after this Full ROM will come as CWM update zip, so that your data are save
VegaComb 3.2 Build 9n Features:
Please be aware that although there was a "version 9" release on some German forums, this update was never integrated into the full build process, and was a side-project by rebel1 to acheive 2 goals. 1) To greatly increase the /system partition size (from 150mb to 200mb) and use that size to add larger apps that have increased language support for non-english speaking users. This build is unrelated to the previous "build 9" and as such has been labelled 9n (new, or newbe5, meaning that it has gone through the usual build and testing processes by myself), an alternate installer based on THIS build will also be provided by rebel1, including the expanded /system partition and enhanced language capability, this alternate build will be labelled 9b (bigger system, alternate build) and will be an nvflash installer rather than a CWM image.
•System image has been shrunk considerably, this should help people who have a lot of random lockups / install issues due to bad NAND blocks. Build 8.1 was using 149.5mb of the allocated 150mb provided by ModdedStockv2, Build 9n is only using 139.8mb allowing much more room to avoid bad blocks if you have them.
•Google Books has been removed entirely. It looks nice, but it's pointless as you can't even access the Store outside of the US. Install this manually if you want it for some reason.
•Google Maps and Street View have been moved in to /data to save space and because they can both be installed/updated from the market, so there is no need for them to be in /system.
•Coarse location discovery (based on WiFi connection) is now working correctly.
•Updated camera libraries to the latest version thanks to the development effort by many (including Eduardo and Redscorpion) over at MoDaCo. Google Talk video chat should now be working, as well as the stock Camera app. Other apps have been tested but there is a possibility that not all of them work (please test and let us know!), but we felt that it was more important for Gtalk to work as the camera isn't much use for actually taking pictures

•Power management for bluetooth/wireless has been fixed. Hopefully this should stop them interfering with eachother when one is disabled.
•Screen calibration functionality built in to the kernel to calibrate on the fly.

•Disabled device suspend when the tablet is connected to an active USB connection, preventing the USB connection from being severed.
•Added a brand new app called: Shuttle Tools which includes the toggles for the above two options. Allowing you to calibrate the screen or switch USB modes from within Android.
Current issues:
On rebooting to recovery, the tablet will "hang" on a stale boot. Hold down the power button until the screen goes completely off, and then power back on to get to CWM.
More? Probably! You tell us
SO many people have worked on this, and are now part of the team, but everyone who uses and loves VegaComb have the following Droid Soldiers to thank:

Oh... I might have done some stuff too
Remember, this MUST be flashed over ModdedStock v2 or it will not work!
This is the one and only way to move to our image:
modstock -> data wipe -> vegacomb 3.2.
Dont ask for help if you dont follow this steps.
Download VegaComb_HC3.2_Build9n.zip NOW! This is for all users that comes from an previous build like 8.1 or ModdeStockV2
For users that comes from my Build9 they can download and flash it with CWM recovery Download VegaComb_HC3.2_Build9b.zip HERE!
And the last file:
Download VegaComb HC3.2 9b Installer.zip HERE!
This is a windows installer for the 9b Full ROM, you don´t need to install ModdedStock before, it makes it all for you
We hope you enjoy VegaComb.

Great job guys!
I can hardly wait to test this one out!

Very very speed rom..
Thanks

This week, I'm going to receive my Advent Vega. I believe this is the best Honeycomb ROM available (better than Vegacomb 1.7), is it correct?
Thanks!!

wow, loving this as it really does fly, very impressed.

I've just installed it. It really does fly. Just installing my apps now. Will let you know if I come across any problems.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

SHWIINNGGGG!!!
Thank you gtablet gods!!!!

I must say i just installed it and its fast!!!
Faster then my gtablet on gtabletcomb 3.3.
OK so you vega gurus. whats the difference between advent vega/viewsonic viewpad 10s and the gtablet.
why can the roms be ingterchanable and whats the difference.
thanks for the roms guys, Now I dont have a reason to sell it.

youtube restarts itself when you rotate the screen.
Apps from market forcloses...
was using opera for a bit with some flash content, went to the home screen and went back to opera and the tablet resetted itself.

what do you mean by "Native App2SD has been added back in (is not present on 3.2 ROMS as standard)."
Does that mean we dont have to get the app2sd app?
I looked for the app2sd in the settings and is unable to find it.
can you please explain..??

I love it, thanks for your hard work.

awesome build
much much better than beta 1.7
thank you so much for that.
just one question, compare to 1.7, all icons look too big.
different resolution or different density?
I don't think we can change the resolution.
Thanks.
Edit: I use LCD density to make the icons smaller, got wifi error, after uninstall lcd density and reboot, no error.

aarrggg... I'm at work and can't get this till I get home.
5pm can't come quick enough now

Been playing with this since yesterday evening.
You can change the screen Res in your build.prop file. I'm on 140dpi at the moment, many people seem happy with 127
USB host mode doesn't work yet, hopefully not too far away
Everything is really fast. No lag at all. There are a few little oddities here and there but nothing too drastic. An amazing release really.

HDMI out is working? My TV didn't recognize it. Pretty fast. I set the density to 140. Looks better now. Thanks.

You need to hold power button until you see the power down menu, select recovery then it'll hang on reboot, hold the power then until the tablet is forced off and when you power back up, it'll boot into cwm recovery

could someone with an official dock please try and see if they can still connect usb peripherals on this rom, I know you can't directly until they fix it, but was wondering if it still worked via the dock. If so i'll buy one
thanks,
malty

Hi there.
I have been running this for a few hours, i have got to say, its fantastic. So quick and smooth. I think i will be running vegacomb from now on.
Just curious about the keyboard, it seems very small. Is that the stock one for 3.2? No major problem just installed hackers keyboard.
Still not sure about the pixel density, but i can easy change that.
Love the first boot screen, should make it more difficult to bang out a vegacomb clone on ebay
Any tips on getting the accelerometer working properly with games?
Many thanks to you and TeamNewCo, this is a fantastic ROM

Legendary. This rom is awesome.

Introduction
It's 2014, and stock GingerBread is so boring, so you googled and found the best surviving Glacier rooting guide, upon the newest ROM list, but you saw the entries covered with dust, links as old as Fred Flintstone rolling towards extinction in a dinosaur powered car. You said to yourself, It's too late, the phone's dead.
Your lead is cold, and you don't feel like playing thread detective, so allow me to present, your best answer since the last phone retirement case...
Panache DD HoF Requirements
Well I do say old chap, we ought to have standards coming from a Titanic class phone, and thus...​
Stability - The least crashes, freezes, and bugs.
Function - Every hardware function works with software. Buttons! GPS! BlueTooth! WIFI! Data! Camera! Speakers! Light! Sound! Action! all working as intended.
Battery - Efficient Kernel, combined with ROM must match or exceed stock battery uptime.
Compatibility - Common apps on the market works on the phone. (Youtube, MX player, Browser, etc)
Physical upgrades
We can rebuild him, with a bigger battery!.​
SD Card: SanDisk ultra 64GB microSD from stock Samsung 8GB (iirc)
This was just an adhoc cheap fill one day on amazon.
Battery: Mugen 1700mAh Thunderbolt slim (similar size for MT4G/Panache) from stock 1400mAh OEM
Why? Stock died on 2013, charge held for literally 1 hour max, then battery started bulging.
Improvements: 48 hours uptime on light use, stock gingerbread 2.3
Also: Slightly bigger than stock 1400mAh, in length, fits very tight, no extra backcover required.
Alternatives: Anker batteries, use the search, I've heard they're the best upgrade and bang for your buck.
After Root Report
How I ate the breadcrumb trail, ROM after ROM; optional read..​So the first thing I did was find the newest version of android and the most recent candidate.
aospSX, which was the Synthetic.Nightmare's aospX's work carried over to android 4.2.2 (Jellybean) by SteppNasty.
Looked and felt amazing, however impassable amounts of issues lead me to switch, including malfunctioning stock camera, firefox, dolphin, and stock browser stops responding, and 1-bar signal which plagued Android 4.2 (term: "signal drop" if you want to search).
So I searched for the word "stable"...
CM 7.2, the most stable version of Gingerbread, the stability and battery was amazing, but it didn't feel as good as the JB ROM before.
So I searched again, and I found a like-minded user from the past with similar objectives, Darkgiant revealed through a conversation to another user about the most stable ROMs.
The clue is CM10.0 by either 0.0 or coderz, but one is a dead link, the other have outlined issues after it got discontinued.
So I went back, double guessed myself on the older versions of Steppnasty's ROM.
2014 Stepp_aospX Editorial Correction
For installation of aforementioned ROM, some non-obvious things he didn't mention..​To summon the proper Steppnasty's ROM for your android... you must:
Install the Stepp_aospSX Final
Fix Permissions
Reboot and setup phone settings (Language, google sync etc.,)
Reboot into recovery
Wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache
Install ICS GAPPs
Reboot and use the phone!
Trouble with ICS GAPPs ? (Based off of my anecdotal evidence).​After ROM installation from downgraded Froyo, ICS GAPPs wasn't applicable (md5 double checked)
I just used the phone as is, later on, somehow I was able to install the ICS GAPPs.
Incase you can't use GAPPs, know this may be temporary and you're missing these features (afaik):
Facial recognition via lockscreen
Software EQ for stock Music player
TLDR:
aospSX 1.0.0 -- Android 4.2.2 (JellyBean) -- newer version -- Unstable
Stepp_aospX Final -- Android 4.0.4 (IceCreamSandwich) works only without GAPPs.
Although the ICS version (Stepp_aospX) is old, it's better and not much different, a halfway mark between GB and JB.
Stepp_aospX Troubleshooting Final Corrections
Radio, bugs/glitches, GPS locking, Perma-Voicemail-Notification, My battery omg my battery :crying:!.​
Only swap radio files if absolutely necessary, and when you do, check the md5 sum every hair of the way.
The Radio Version, most important function to your phone, receiving calls from the network towers, has been changed! Haha I should've posted this before the link to rooting. It's when you were downgrading to Froyo (iirc), because no other ROMs I've installed changes radio, this ROM didn't change it either. But no worries, there are vast lists of these radios, available to download either here (CM Wiki) or here (dropbox by acefsw). Just use adb to push the PD15IMG.zip file as usual to sd for a recovery install. The difference between your signal, if it's even different, should be almost immediate after a reboot.
Bugs/Glitches:
Matrix/Zalgo Text // looks like y͏̴̡͢o͜͞҉̴͢u̢̨̕͝'̸ĺ̛͞͝l̕͜ ̸̵k̢͟͟͢ǹ̢̡̕͟ơ̸̡w̨͏҉̡̧ // Fix via rebooting
GPS Never-lock // Fix via dorqus
For GPS, you can also try FasterGPS the app.​
Perma-voicemail-Notification on every reboot // Temp fix: Settings => Manage Apps => Phone => Clear Cache.
Trying permanent fixes now, I've heard if you get voicemail, delete it from voicemail center, it'll work.​
Battery Drain from wakelock // GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES! // To Fix, either task it or filter it (require xposed framework) (For more information on battery, I'll make a separate section later on for wakelocks to filter by, to reduce drain, it allows battery drain only from user permitted activity apart from being idle)
Screen turns off automatically on camera mode and youtube videos // Fix: use screenOn app
Notification cannot be manually toggled off like app settings of JB. // No Fix, hope your app isn't as bad as my Lux D:
Headphone Heat: No bug noticeable, with ATH-M50 headphones, Skullcandy earbuds, Speaker phone over long hours, no over heating.
Extra tips while Unix Editing:
Code:
adb remount
to change permissions of /system/ folder files
[in shell]
Code:
mv renameMe.file renamed.bak
renames .file to renamed.bak, useful for creating backups before pushing gps.conf.
Code:
rm renameMe.file
deletes renameMe.file
Code:
cd ..
cd space
Moves up a directory outside of current folder
Moves into space folder
Code:
ls
lists items in folder
Final Result
Subject to change from threats, bribes and future tweaks/experiences.​
:good: Stability - 9/10, only zalgo text so far...
:good: Function - 8/10 Every hardware button works from stock apps, two of the cameras, LED, Flash, light sensor, microphone, voice search, gps, bluetooth, speakers, mobile data, backup-sync, auto-rotate all work well, I only wish some functions could work without tweaking, ie GPS and notifications bug.
Battery - 5/10 Efficient options provided with smartassv2 and selectable others, however the phone is awake more than necessary, see batstats Currently I'm trying to figure out what wake trigger is doing this (apart from google play) to see if it can beat <20 hour battery time from stock >48 hours with light usage.
Problem solved, new section write-up incoming soon...
:good: Compatibility - 10/10 Stepp_Nasty advised some amazon apps doesn't work, I don't dwell on those fields, being a canadian. However it's awesome that this works just as well as the stock gingerbread, and your camera resolution increased. See comparison (2592px × 1456px vs 2592px x 1936px).
This is the best ROM I can find, if you have another favourite, please list it and give it a rating, because in a few years this phone is going to the grave yard, and whoever is looking here now, still have a glimmer of hope!
Shoutout to XDA Glacier, past and future posters, for giving us the resources to build on this awesome phone.
