Installing VegaComb / Honey Ice On the Advent Vega

[vuurwerkgangster1997]

@computergeek9658 ym gonna try it on a other computer.

[vuurwerkgangster1997]

@computergeek9658 but it does nothing if i click formatt. And other people that updated to 3.2 doesnt have problems with wifi so i think that was from your tablet.

[vuurwerkgangster1997]

@computergeek9658 mij viewpad 10s had a sd card problem it sais it has an unknown thing or so and the sd card needs to be formatted. so i do that and it does not work i dont understand how i need to do that!!

[computergeek9658]

@vuurwerkgangster1997 If you attach the MicroSD to the computer (via the MicroSD=>SD adapter in the box and a card slot) you can right-click on it in Windows and click 'Format'. The default options are fine. Be warned: this will wipe the contents of your MicroSD

[vuurwerkgangster1997]

@computergeek9658 when you have android 2.2 on your vega, did you have problems then with the wifi or not?

[computergeek9658]

@vuurwerkgangster1997 I can't say for sure because I updated to 3.2 so quickly but when I downgraded back to stock 2.2 I still had the issues

[vuurwerkgangster1997]

@computergeek9658 please reply my questions! Thnx.

[uglykid4]

got any other links cause they dont work.

thanks

[computergeek9658]

@uglykid4 which links don't work? I'll update them ASAP :)

[vuurwerkgangster1997]

@computergeek9658 Is there a recovery app in vegacomb 3.2 for upcoming updates??

[computergeek9658]

@vuurwerkgangster1997 ClockworkMod recovery gets installed by default to flash update zip files :)

[vuurwerkgangster1997]

was that wifi problem of your tablet or the vegacomb because my wifi on do it good (viewpad 10s) 2.2 will that work for my device? and are there any special things I should look for?

[computergeek9658]

@vuurwerkgangster1997 I don't believe it was related to Vegacomb or HoneyIce because I downgraded it back to stock and still had the same issue but I can't guarantee that the ROMs don't affect it. The Wi-Fi chip was definitely borked though but whether this was a problem originally or after installing the ROM I can't say for sure. I can't take responsibility if you encounter issues although I'd be more than happy to assist you here

[vuurwerkgangster1997]

@computergeek9658 what is TBH and why you dont have the vega anymore?

[computergeek9658]

@vuurwerkgangster1997 TBH = To be honest and it had SERIOUS Wi-Fi issues (see older comments) so Currys gave me a refund :P I then got an Archos 101G9 which had a flickering screen and was randomly lagging plus it got missold by Tesco Direct as a 1.2GHz model when it was the 1.0. I now have an Iconia A500 and I'm happy. Far superior tablet running ICS :)

[vuurwerkgangster1997]

Ok thnx and does honey ice has a other software keyboard?

[computergeek9658]

@vuurwerkgangster1997 TBH I can't remember and I don't have the Vega any more :P

[vuurwerkgangster1997]

does the hdmi work by honey ice or update3 vegacomb.??

[computergeek9658]

@vuurwerkgangster1997 yes

[vuurwerkgangster1997]

@computergeek9658 does the wifi doesnt work?? or what do i need to do update to vegacomb or not???

[vuurwerkgangster1997]

do you need to formatt the sd card before youre going to do something like installing vegacomb.??

And how do i formatt the sd card?

[computergeek9658]

@vuurwerkgangster1997 You don't need to format SD. Only the internal memory using CWM

[vuurwerkgangster1997]

Do you need to install honey ice or only build 9n and update 3?

[vuurwerkgangster1997]

do you need to change that recovery.img why do you do that and from which folder do you get the new recovery.img

[computergeek9658]

@vuurwerkgangster1997 you don't have to swap it but it gives you a much newer version of clockwork mod recovery so I highly recommend it =) you get it from the link in the description

[vuurwerkgangster1997]

what is honey ice?

[vuurwerkgangster1997]

will this work for the viewsonic viewpad 10s (its the same device

[SubclavianStandards]

Thanks a lot, very helpful :)

[computergeek9658]

@SubclavianStandards you're very welcome :)

[tecboy789]

HELP! mine just keeps rebooting on the vegacomb screen logo! what do I do?

[computergeek9658]

@tecboy789 did you wipe data and cache first? If so, do a full wipe again and reflash the ROMs

[computergeek9658]

@CompHelperKid haha thanks :)

[computergeek9658]

@caffrey50 hmm never heard of that trick - wish I could've given it a try! haha

[computergeek9658]

1) wifi 'error, 2) awful range (like 3-4 metres, said 'poor next to the router!!) 3) constantly dropping out signal

[computergeek9658]

I'd just like to inform you guys that I no longer have the Vega. I refunded it as there was a serious issue with the wifi chip - even on 2.2. the engineer in curry Condemned it on the spot :P I now have an archos a101 g9 rooted the wifi issues for those interested were:

[computergeek9658]

@computergeek9658 update: I took the 101G9 back to because of screen flickering issues and the listing on tesco direct said it was the 1.2GHz version when it wasn't

[ElzChanel]

WIFI is not working says error? any help peoples..??

[caffrey50]

Good instructions. Thank you. Would add after installation of VegaComb3 9n Update 3 to, reboot system and log onto to your wi-fi. Then go into recovery and install HoneyIce over VegaComb without clearing cache so wi-fi connection is remembered.

[CompHelperKid]

Awesome stuff man keep it up!
