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

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
•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.
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

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.

Click to collapse
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.

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.

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.
Phone calls / Mobile data
Picture editor works.
Market fully working

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.

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.
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!

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!

The adaption of the released VegaComb / honeycomb 3.0 for our tegra2 brothers (advent vega and Adam) and is getting to a state where its usable and the latest release for Vega is working quite well on Folio100 as well. with modifications of course...
What is Honeycomb 3.0?
Its the operating system upgrade that Toshiba will never delivet to our folio100, since its no longer supported by toshiba.. But the community gives you what the company did not! At least to a point where its possible within reasonable effort.. as not all source is available for rewriting drivers.
Credits for the intensive work done on this honeycomb 3.0 , is primarily done by NotionInk Adam and Advent Vega
developers , which are: MrGuy , newbe5 , corvus , HomerSp
I have just made the required changes to make it run on our Folio100.
Download Folio3x v0.3a here
Wipe should not be required for existing 0.1 - 0.3 users. if nothing seems unstable.
but NEW USERS always do a factory reset, or even "fastboot -w" to fix possible apps problems.
v0.3a
- rebuild from 0.2 and adding changes from 0.3.
- fixed 3G usb dongle problem
- usb share to pc fix fix
- apns conf now ok, apn location should be updated automatically.
- core.android FC fix
- dalvikcache update
- compatibility mode disabled by default (FolioWidget settings is fullscreen now)
- FakeGPS included (enable mock locations in Settings ->development) , so you use compass apps
our tablet has no real GPS, but the device think so but does not find it and it crash apps requesting gps.
- Sensors working.. (Thanks to newbe5 for the help)
- Included the new graphics drivers (quadrant= 2D=130/3D=820)
- adhoc support (use folio hc widget to enable, reboot after enabling)
- PolarisOffice fix
- included a fixed FolioWidget, for disabling folio100 softbuttons.
to use foliowidget:
- add widget to desktop.
- click widget once.
- in menu enable Softbuttons once, to disable the softbuttons below the power led (normally)
PATCHES
install patches below like you would install a full rom in recovery (Not ClockWorkMod), except this zip needs renaming directly to update.zip .
do NOT unpack it first.
any version: Download sensor patch attached to this post, if you want to continue with earlier version and not upgrade.. this does not require a wipe at all, its one single file added to your system.
0.3a : Download bootanimation and copy to /system/media folder read more here , this will fix the "remember language and timezone issue"
0.3a : Download bootanimation as patch, for those not able to copy file, here
0.3a : Download rollback to regular kernel here
0.3a : Download Overclockable kernel upto 1.5Ghz here
OC Kernel might not enable 3G automatically so go into mobile network and disable/enable if it happens.
ALWAYS READ ME BEFORE POSTING Questions - FAQ and Status on folio100 edition of VegaComb.
- Flash works with Opera 11.10 release.
-
- Before you report any issues, you might check that other ports of this Honeycomb (which all pre-3.0 tablets use) already confirms not fixed.
Do check VegaComb xda thread
-
- SOD problem: Others have used the OC kernel, and set the minimum speed to 456, and it solved the problem. But yes, you need the OC kernel + CPU Master as example.
-
- If you got problems running Any Angry birds game or other applications as example, you might need to use "fastboot -w " to erase userdata & cache . To enter fastboot mode, at bootup press 3 times power and then VOL+ .
-
- USB PORT: stick & 3G dongle must be inserted at bootup if needed. Kernel do not at this point automatically register usb port changes if inserted after boot is complete.
-
- At setup wizard, wifi scanning, reboot once, and setup wizard finds the networks at next boot
-
- Apps fail to start if running from sdcard.
-
- Bluetooth send/receive files is not working
-
- Volume control in Settings, still crash when tried opened..
-
- FakeGPS app is needed to start, if you open compass apps, that also read GPS information.
-
- language and timezone in full image, needs to have a bootanimation, then it remember language and timezone after reboot. See the PATCHES for the bootanimation.zip (copy zip manually to /system/media )
-
- MUSIC: music must be copied to /sdcard/music , and player finds it.
-
- Youtube - not all videos can be played, due to incompatibiliy issue with driver and codecs used. (but many do work)
I will do what is possible to bring it to a better state, but i cannot promise anything and maybe patches from vega/adam might actually work on our folio100 depending on what they change. (if its a patch)
You're the BEST!!!

Questions
Hi!
I've two question. The 3.0 port contains olny the honeycomb support?I mean there are a few application for 3.0 android so it is possible to use the older (2.1 and 2.2) aps and games?

1. it works fine with old apps.. i already tested angrybirds, and astro filemanager, i would say 100% supported.
2. im using our 1.3 based kernel, so it has 3G usb dongle support, but whether 3x will utilize it i have no focus on for now.. lets first get it out and get more people involved, then lets see what it brings.
Happy Face!
I friggin' knew it!!! I finally can take the Folio back, out of the drawer where I locked it months ago PartyTime!
BTW: I've got no problem at all with media scanner not working. It should be considered a FEATURE, not a cons!!! At least it's not gonna randomly delete ALL of my media files over and over again!
EDIT: if there's anyone wishing to follow the original thread for the ADAM, here we go: http://tabletroms.com/forums/showthread.php?356-Honeycomb-on-the-Adam-(Updated)
Hi!
Of course first the stabil working is the most important
Very nice to see this!
I really would love to try even an early version of honeycomb on my folio...
To bad I use my folio a lot latley (I have some server issues, and I don't want to carry my laptop everywhere I go)... But if I know that apps will work correctly (even if slow, but pretty much usable) I will give it a shot....
Please, post rom!!!
Please dont begg!!!

Thank you for your hard work Dexter.
Excellent News!
These are excellent news!

Thanks for the hard working of everyone involved.
Cant wait to test.
That's great news!! Then i can take the dust of my Folio
Great work Dexter!!

Hi Dexter,
Thank you so much for your really good work. After FolioMod now a good working Honeycomb for Folio? -> Amazing!
So, don't missunderstand me, but I really love you for that!
Thank you
You Dexter and Developers who are working on that are GODs...
We hope rom tonight if its possible... else, we can wait for the great work.
Thank you and thanks to honeycomb developer team !
thanks thanks thanks
thats better than christmas.
thank you for your hard work
i hope it goes on.
Just a quick note.. I do hope it is noted what majors are wrong with this one..
i will look into this, but the first "public" will have more or less what i have written as problems..
Our kernel might need to revising, or DerArtem's 2.6.36.3 kernel might help to solve some issues as well..
So the rom is really a "preview" and not for daily use yet...
Lastly, this rom is of course open to anyone who can help fixing the problems, and we can make an even better rom, so if you got any kind of experience with it, help us make this rom better.
I think the easy one is, for now, to get powerkey fixed. (volume buttons work).
Once again I am here seeking the help from developers for my phone. Which is not the XT720 (XT701 instead), but I really don't know where else to turn.
I was restless again, so then I went and started looking for roms. I found this one:
Speed XT701 2.2.1版 beta7 搞掂wifi
This is really new and is running CM6 based moto blur extremely smoothly. Search on google and click the first few links to see the interface. Amazing as always, the CM roms. The touch sensitivity is ON PAR with the Iphone 4. I was so glad that everything was working - Camera, SDcard, SERVICE, SMS, CALLING, all working so perfectly. It was completely different from the CM 7 mod.
And honestly, It really seems even faster than the CM7 rom. I read from the translated description that it is using "smart200mhz to 600 mhz" processing for superb battery and so on. It really does have a lot of attractive features and usual and completely destroys the 2.1 rom.
Now comes the horrible, devastating part. No wifi. .
I did the 3 wipes, updated, and 3 wipes again, and it still had no wifi.
Right now I'm really leaning towards sticking to this rom. My solution is to keep my backup of the 2.1 stock, and nandroid over to it when I need to so that I can download new apps, back then up in SD, and then nandroid back.
Can anyone please help me figure out how to get wifi? I'll donate from paypal if someone can help me resolve this wifi issue. . Just terrible, this problem. So close.

...what's that supposed to mean? I've never had a problem EVER with the phone registering my touches and my touches can be me barely touching the screen (i.e. I can't imagine how anything can actually be better than that).
Maybe he meant responsiveness of the UI? Just a guess. And yes I agree the touches on the phone is already very good in your sense.

For the touch sensitivity thing, I'm pretty sure its because I'm running 2.1, which is why the IPhone seemed faster with tracking my finger movement when I compared them side by side. The XT701 itself is already blazing fast, because I'ved used overclocking, setcpu, and memory manager, but then when I upgraded to this rom called the "speed beta 7" it was just overwhelming. I've never seen the phone so reactive.
The rom is a CM 6.1.2, android 2.2, so it would explain everything so much faster. I always thought I couldn't get the phone to be any faster, but this rom proved me wrong again.
Here is the link to the rom. I'm also going to be copying and pasting the post that the developers have along with the rom. It's going to be translated from Chinese into English, so it'll be rough. But you'll get the jist of what its saying.

I nandroided back to my stock rom again =/. Apparently this Rom has close to daily updates so I'll wait a while. They started releasing it on the 7/18 and they're already on beta7.
Statement: As a consulting 2.2 version of the oil, therefore continue to provide useful new 2.2 ROM.
This ROM is not my production is transferred from the other forums, but I have used ever measured, easy to use just made up, hope you like
Version of the return to original author, has nothing to do with me ~
Mod Description:
This Mod is based on CM6.1.2 production, with Moto-style 2.2.1 version of the official 2.1 ROM, with a great memory, experience, ensuring smoothness and stability, and has a very strong memory recall mechanism.
And with improved functionality and greater ease of use, without adding redundant features.
This ROM native support APP2SD, support both computer and cell phone card reader (connected to a computer can not afford to card), NICAM excellent results.
CPU clocked Smart250Mhz to 600Mhz, power efficient correct, let your XT701 has a stronger fighting at the same time have sustained life.
ROM renamed Speed XT701, translated as "rapid XT701", reflects the ROM features.
This Mod is currently only for a kernel customization, the future will be to consider other kernels, so there will be more than one branch.

Students do not envy MIUI, MIUI is based on the CM 0.1 development, and the current version has a lot of difference, and code optimization is not high.
Goal: present the mod of the already chaotic, mod rarely have their own style, hope this mod will enable students to experience the same as 2.2.1 to 2.1, and so restore the Moto mod style.
Known issues:
1. WIFI not dynamic;
(2) some special encoding video black;
3. FM is still not available;
4. Can not call recording;
(this part was in white text. I don't know if it means that its fixed or not. Because it does say that in the latest Beta7 wifi was fixed thanks to S or something)
(Note: points represent the normal running speed, running sub is the ultimate performance of a test, therefore, the common run from high up poor, but the machine is running;
For example: run the software needed to run sub-use lots of memory, ROM memory recovery efficiency is poor, will result in greatly reduced running speed after hours, but had no effect on the running sub-
So the actual speed will depend on the. )
Recommendation: To maintain the stability and speed, it is recommended to remove the JIT, of course, affect the reserves is small.
Recommended with the software: automated process killer from Kai Butler

Swap 256M memory or more

Everything it says is true. It is fast as hell, no lag. The ONLY thing which is stopping me is the wifi, which bugs me even more, because it says here that Beta7 FIXED WIFI. I don't know why my wifi doesn't work!
interesting. I wonder what will happen if we apply this update to the running cm6 on xt720
Becarefull this could have a custom kernal that could bootloop or worst.

Really? I've been using this so far it's great. I've never seen my phone be so responsive ever. But there is still no Wifi. Everytime I try to connect it says, Connecting, and then Disconnected. Because of that I haven't even logged in with my account. No wifi causes the phone to run even smoother, cause a lot of background apps aren't runnning

I just had a similar problem on the XT720 CM6. It turned out that wifi actually was working, but DNS lookup was not (I could use static IP in browser). I fixed it by replacing /system/xbin/busybox with a known-good version. You can test busyboxes with something like copying it to /tmp/busybox and then running (either via adb or terminal emulator):
/tmp/busybox nslookup android.com
Could you be a bit more specific Mioze7Ae. I have the busybox app; I don't think I have the terminal emulator. But I still don't understand what you mean.
I have Busybox app installed, and it says the "Status: Done!" after installing 1.18.4 :S.
As for the terminal emulator, I've heard of it but I don't have the app. So I install the app and then type that in the emulator?
EDIT: I just downloaded some Pro term emulator app. I turned on wifi, and then I typed in that code (cept I put xbin since I only installed it there) and it said:
Server: 8.8.8.8
Address 1: 8.8.8.8
nslookup: can't resolve 'android.com'
What does this mean? cause It just seems to me that my Wifi is still not working. Also, I've been seeing DNS around but I have no idea where to find it in my phone. Or DPN, something liek that but all I have in the Network settings is VPN and proxy, which is at default.
On a side note, could anyone help me find a working zip folder of Google apps for XT701/XT720/CM6? In the past I've installed them manually on android, and I've tried to use OR to flash the apps into my phone as well.
Look in the cm7 for the Motoroi thread & around post 50 there is a link to the cm website Google apps updates
With wifi connected try using the browser to go to a website via ip address instead of name. For example http://50.23.231.74/ worked, even though http://xda-developers.com/ did not. If ip addresses don't work then probably you have a different problem.
My problem right now is that I cannot even connect to the router at home (or anywhere else). It just keeps saying scanning connecting, and then looping back to scanning.
Sad thing is, just today I flashed another CM6 rom by the name of update-cm-6.1.2-XT701-Milestone-signed-by-s.zip today, and wifi worked. But then, a ton of other things stopped working so I nandroided back.
It just doesn't make sense that Wifi wouldn't work for some and not for others. I am still way too unexperienced for android.
I found it from this website, http://xt701.ghostry.cn which is sort of a jackpot for me. It has the latest releases of ROMS from China/world all uploaded onto that site. I don't know if it will be much help for XT720 developers, but that site is extremely updated.
Another slight problem which I am also overlooking for the sake of Speed is the LED being unusable. I always relied on it when my phone was on silent for texts, but now It is just gone. Any ideas how to get it back=/? Thanks for your input anyways!
So wifi is still not working. I've been reading around that it has to do with the Radio img??!? I don't get it.
I do know that this ROM doesn't have a FM radio yet, but I don't know if it has to do with my wifi.
I also tried replacing my tiwlan_drv.ko with other versions of it, but it ended up in an Error. Is it possible for me to flash a CM6 rom with a working wifi, copy the tiwlan_drv.ko file from there, and then use it on this current ROM that is not working? Like using root explorer to replace the .ko with the other roms one?
Sigh..
is this thread closed? nobody from august? i donwloaded some roms from http ://xt701.ghostry . cn and now i will install to my XT701 and see if any it's working so I can have android 2.2!!!
As long as you have xt701 your good to go.

i have now on my XT701 MIUI 1.12.30 Android 2.3.7 but i have some problems with network signal and when I try to call anybody the phone restarts! last night when I flased this ROM the calling was good. Strange!?!?
I got my S2 on Tuesday and thought that the default firmware had a few shortcomings. Hence I took the stock English firmware and tweaked it to my needs.
Maybe you will find my ROM useful too.
So, what I changed:
Enlarged the data partition to 2.5GiB. I did this for two reasons. Obviously one is so we can get more space for apps. The other is that inside the /data partition are not only stored apk files, but the application's data files (which get written and read frequently). When a partition on a flash disk gets full, it also gets slow. So hopefully with 2.5GiB you will always have enough free space to keep performance up.
Rooted and the new, open source Superuser included.
Replaced the default launcher with the latest Nova Launcher.
Included Titanium Backup.
Changed the read ahead of the flash memroy to 1024KiB from the default 128KiB. While there isn't an overall best setting, I feel that this helps a lot with Chrome, which had huge delays while trying to load a page from its cache.
Changed the default io_scheduler to deadline. it gives better responsiness.
Default notification ringtone changed to something that won't cause heart attacks.
I added proper OTG support. Our tablet supported usb devices only on the OS level and not on the Android apps' level. So while a hardware keyboard would work, camera tethering with DSLR Controller wouldn't. Maybe Pipo did that because the tablet's usb system isn't solid. USB OTG doesn't work always, but at least it always works after a reboot for me and it is awesome to control my DSLR from the tablet.
Added support for cifs (smb).
Removed some apps and widgets which I think aren't that useful.
You can flash it with RKBatchTool. The first boot will take a bit more time until it gets to the launcher screen.
There may be some S2 tablets with a newer front camera module. If that's your case, your front camera may not work.

if you know a better host, please suggest
Disclaimer: If you break it, you keep it. I won't take responsibility for broken tablets.
I got CWM on my Pipo s2. I can install the ROM through there, yes?
Also, think we can see CM 10 on it anytime soon?
This ROM can only be flashed with the official tools, it doesn't support CWM, nor it installs it. If you flash it, you will lose CWM.
As for CM, I don't think we will ever see it. Chinese vendors do not give much information or any source code, so it is practially impossible to do a port.
Some guy started working on a CM port for RK3066 devices, but as far as I know he hadn't much success other than a very alpha rom for his device (not the S2).
Ah I see. Well thank you very much for providing this ROM! Is there any way you can provide a short step by step tutorial? I've downloaded the rkbatchtool but alittle unsure of how to proceed.
Great ROM .....Many Thanks For This Great ROM .... Now Downloading .. Please Check My PM And Please Reply ......

hi mrsaccess, still possible to get new links for the custom S2 rom ? thx in advance.
