VEGAn-TAB BETA 4 FINAL

As Per usual USE THIS ROM AT YOUR OWN RISK. We highly recommend clockworkmod recovery .08 as a pre-req. We are only testing for cwm users.

I would also recommend a full data wipe between updates, at least for now when we reach STABLE RELEASE stage this may not be always necessary. There is a great tool out there you can use if you don’t know about it already called Titanium Backup it is on the market and there is a free version. It allows you to backup/restore all your apps and even save/restore data for those apps… the only caveat I will say is do not restore any system apps (ie. apps preloaded with our roms) this can cause issues.

****The First Boot after installing BETA 4 will take a few minutes to catch up and will feel “laggy” this depends on how much media you have on your device for it to scan in the first time****

**If you are having issues with the new market telling you you don’t have enough space to download then your SD Partitions are incorrect and need fixed** -Boot to Clockworkmod, select advanded, then partition SD, 2048 for first option, and 0 for second. process will take ~10 mins ******WARNING THIS WILL DELETE EVERYTING ON SDCARD (internal) MAKE A BACKUP!!!!******

This is a collaboration between myself, Roebeet, and Rothnic – The G-TabDevs Team.

****Unfortunately I have to shelf the autoBrightness fix for the moment as it is causing some random but serious stability issues. I will return to it at a later date. Sorry Guys and Gals. But here is a rundown of new things that have made it in!****

BETA 4 changes:

• A New Cleaner Base System Image with the addition of files from new Advent Vega Release (we can finally get rid of the hacked together Image That I originally created for VEGAn)
• New Kernel (from latest unreleased TNT Update kernel version #15)
• New Boot Logo(replaces G-Tablet on white background)
• New VOLD Binary and MediaProvider(allows media to be seen from External SD Card as well as internal)(videos are not being automatically found on SDCARD2 ATM I am working on that)
• Settings app no longer has Call Settings option or mobile networks as it is not a phone
• New Market (We have got it showing even more apps… but still not all. Still need to do the market hack.)
• Some Graphics and Performance Improvements reduces video tearing issue among other improvements (G-TabDevs Performance Pack)
• New Music Player(pulled the one from CM6.1 and got it running on VEGAn)
• framework laid for bluetooth HID(not sure if it is fully functional yet please let us know if it work for you)
• laid the framework for POSSIBLE OPENVPN support(not fully functional yet sure if I can get it to work yet)
• New Theme Improvements – Switched to a more Cyan color highlights (the previous green may be available as a small update at a later date.
• Flash now auto installs on first boot up usually after about 15 secs so the tablet can finish booting

Benefits to us:

• Soft buttons, like TnT. But no TnT UI layer getting in our way. So, for example, keyboard replacements should work.
• Just as fast as the new builds we have if not FASTER.
• Vega build has a bootup script where we can install user-based apks, after a data wipe. So, for example, Flash is now added to the build.
• Vega firmware development is probably more active than the official TnT development, at least from the little I’ve seen so far (though TnT have been fairly active lately).

Known issues:

• Videos are not being automatically scanned on the EXTERNAL SDCARD.
• Weird orange bar is showing up in the stock Calendar app.
• The newest Market apk seems to have issues with any device that’s been re-partitioned outside of the default of 2048. The “fix” is to re-partition your SD back to the default of 2048, in clockworkmod. Thanks to proengin for informing us of this.
