Post your dream advent vega setup here! I'll start:
Advent Vega
Overclocked to 1.4ghz,
Dual boot
Android Honeycomb +
Backtrack 5 Linux with
working Aircrack-ng and
Wireshark suite
How about you guys?
pptp tunnels
A ROM with working pptp VPN would be nice
My vega is already overclocked to 1.4GHz using setcpu on corvus5 rom. I've benchmarked it at 1.4GHz and it beat the xoom!! Ok back to the question I would like the vega to dualboot honeycomb and windows 7/ Vista/or a tablet version (if it is created) . Also I would like the vega to play every movie format out including blu-ray. But hey probaly won't happen lol but if it does instead of vega it would be called SUPERTABLET lol.

+1, otherwise I can't use it for work
mmm... for me I prefer something more standard, like:
Android 3.0
More Internal memory, at least 1 gb of internal memory.
Compatibility for Gameloft games
Finding a way to hardware mod 3g and GPS into it would complete it for me.
Not fussed about dual boot. Would love to have 3.0 working like on the xoom. The main thing that gets me at the moment is the wifi dropping out and then being slow to respond when requesting app dowloads etc. Just think I have to find a rom that suits me. Not had it long and been too busy else where to play

Try modaco r8, is a great room! and works fine for me.
I'm working on it..
I think the only thing on my wishlist would be Gingerbread and then.. the all new Honeycomb.
Just a small wish list as I'm already clocked at 1500Mhz It's an awesome little tablet for the price.
Steve
honeycomb is a must i think
plus accelerometer for games that works as it should
i dont care for 3g since i can teather to phone and use phones gps
and all ready have overclock
Once the honeycomb rom is fully functional I'm more than satisfied with this little gem! Salling Media Sync puts it in sync with my iTunes and iPhoto for me, perhaps a 32GB MicroSD card to replace the stock 4GB will be nice though...
I think my dream setup would involve a dock which could charge and sync it, since the official dock's USB hub won't do USB storage...
I would like
Boot up in sub 10 seconds and no more FC's
Great tablet for the price
That there was a 7" version (and by that I mean has the same Tegra2 chip, USB host functionality and costs the same or less at £199)! No real Tegra2 7" tablet options atm unfortunatly
Ten of em!...
One for each arm
1.6 ghz
Android 3.1 Honeycomb
32gb mHD card ( or a whole lot of them)
USB 3.0 port
fast boot
and 10 of em!... would also be great!!!
Thanks!
I would like it to do everything my netbook can do. Play all the Facebook games I play, although I can play 2 or 3 facebook games on my Vega.
Also a rom that is solely tablet based, no more roms on tablets that has phone features I can't use, also an android market that specifically for tablets, like the apps store on the iPad is just for the iPad.

I didn't notice a thread for Odroid on xda, so I'm gonna start one
I just got an odroid friday for $200 USD http://www.hardkernel.com/
I've played around with it a bit, it's running a "stable" 1.5 and as of 22feb2010 you can flash a alpha enclair 2.1 pre-release I feel 2.1 is fairly stable on Odroid but that's just my opinion
How to get Google apps on Odroid with AOSP 2.1
------------------------------------
Download GoogleBits-sdk7-v1.7-signed.zip (RapidShare, Megaupload, DepositFile, HotFile)
Unzip it in c:\sdk-android\tools\GoogleBits\
Connect USB to your PC
Type the following commands:
Code:
cd c:\android-sdk\tools\
adb remount
adb push GoogleBits\system\framework /system/framework
adb push GoogleBits\system\lib /system/lib
adb push GoogleBits\system\app /system/app
adb reboot
Google bits 1.9 located here *untested*
also feel free to discuss development for odroid here as well.
Haha, the best replecement for Gameboy i have ever seen just insall gemeboid emulator there and you have the softwere, for hardware i already see there are gaming butons everywhere But is that screen rly 3.5? Look so small...
yea it's 3.5 inch, capacitve glass touch screen... it's a pretty decent little handheld. It's not up with the best as far as portable game consoles, but it's by far the best solution for android gaming in a portable. Plays snesoid really decently for snes emulation.
open hardware and unbrickable, community driven development... I think it's pretty cool investment... at least for me it was.
I've bad my xu3 for a while now.. looking to compile latest debian kernel. however, i'm having trouble determining whether I could put arm64 on it. Initially i thought so, but i think there is only 32bit support on the .little side of the cpu.
thoughts?
I have oDroid Xu4 and it's pretty good, I did manage to get Nougat running on it, and as of now im installing apps
I got a C2 and I must say this is the first SBC that I am totally satisfied with in my livingroom as an all round media box.
It is running 6.0.1 and just simply works for everything I have tried.
Kodi
Terrarium
BBC iPlayer
CBC TV App
Netflix
Surfing the net / Facebook
Music via PowerAmp
A number of games (pool 3d with an air mouse is great fun)
Nothing slows it down... simply love it.
The kicker is it costs less then $100
I have also a C2 for a few weeks now also on Android 6.01.
Have running Kodi only for my Kid so i don't have to encode any movies anymore as my Philips Smart tv (2010) is a drag when it comes to media support. If a tiny thing in the movie is not correct then it don't play. So this C2 is great. It's faster then Raspberry 3. But support is not great on the Hardkernel forum. Bought it in Germany for 49,- Euro plus shipping and a plastic box, totall 64,- euro to the Netherlands. I love it and works stable. It's a 64bit processor, but there is no 64bit OS.....but now fast enough on 32bit. But i paid for 64bit so i want it to run on 64bit too . But for support sakes next time i think i go for Raspberry. The community is much bigger, so more solutions.
Run Debian and Android on ODROID-C1/ODROID-C2
Hi,
My company makes a unified OS (VOLKSPC OS) that can run both Android and Debian applications.
We have ported it to several ARM SOC's and single board computers. Youtube has a video clip of our VOLKSPC OS running on the ODROID-C2 board.
You can download a free version for ODROID-C1 from volkspc.org Demo page.

@OldGaf or @JJSJJS you guys have android running on your C2s right? have you tried installing Android Auto on them? if not is there any way I could compel you to give it a shot and let me know if it can be installed?
I want to get one and use to run android auto on my car, but I've tried a couple other sbcs like the rpi and I can't seem to install it on them; if you're willing to try, getting the apk is easy from apkmirror.
Thanks.
Hi, well there is an option in the Odroid menu to install manually APK's. But i'm not going to do it, because it's running just fine now and it is for my daughter just to run Kodi so she can watch animations as my Philips TV does not decode everything correctly. But i recommend not to buy it and stick with Rpi, not because it's better, it's because of the service and the much much bigger community. So if you did not buy it yet, then don't. Just because of the lack of support and tiny community. A colleague of mine uses a android-tablet also with some sort of auto apk on which reads out info via an cheap 6$ china OBCD2 plug interface, seems to be working well. Much easier also.

That's alright JJS, don't mess with something that works, I have the rpi and it works well enough, but well enough is not what I want, a tablet wouldn't do either, because I don't want to modify my dashboard to fit one, i already have a screen mounted for an sbc tho. thanks for the reply.
Odroid support
VolksPC,
Can you post a link to your videos for support? I'm looking to install Android 6.0+ or Android TV on my C1.
Thanks,

G-Tablet Or Nook Color???
I want to run honeycomb but i want a big screen i want it to be fast but if i got the gtab then i also want a camera but if i put honeycomb on it then there would be no camera! If i put on nook it would be slow but i openGL would work right???
which also means flash player!!
I'm So confused and i need help badly.
If there is another tablet in the 250 to 300 range that can run honeycomb smooth and that also has a camera please tell otherwise please HELP!!!!!
I do not think you can get any other tablet for less than $300 that has any many options as the Nook.
A big screen, 10 inch tablet, running Honeycomb, for under $300.... does not exist at all as far as I know. If it DOES exist it is crap
If you want a camera then the Nook wont work for you. If you want a camera, and you want to run Honeycomb, then you are looking at shelling out a LOT more than $250.
My friend has the g tablet (I have the NC). I was going to help him root it last night but he canceled on me at the last minute. I was really anxious to see what the g tablet could do with CM7. But the thing is really smooth, probably a bit above the NC. But a lot of it comes down to personal preference. The 7 inch form factor is so nice and small, yet its plenty big enough to watch movies on. The 10 inch is very bigger in my opinion.
Viewsonic has the viewbook 730 coming out soon. It has a camera and other hardware the Nook doesn't. Its a 7 inch screen for the same price as the Nook. Might be an option.
There's a thread comparing the two: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948348&highlight=viewsonic
The consensus seems to be that the Viewsonic is...bad. The screen in particular is...very bad. A couple people were satisfied with it.
If you really want all the features you listed, save up and get an ASUS Transformer; it seems like the next step up from the NC that's actually worth what you pay for it.
In particular, if you're dead set on Honeycomb, get a Honeycomb tablet. There are no good Honeycomb custom ROMs for any device and won't be for at least several months, because no one has the source code--Google is holding onto it. If you're getting an NC, run CM7 with Honeybread or a similar theme. It's not playing make-believe any more or less than running one of the proof-of-concept HC demo ROMs, and you can actually have access to features like bluetooth, tegra2 games (running chainfire), Netflix, overclocking, and USB host, to name a few.

Has anyone had a chance to try out these new Android Micro/Mini computers yet?
First impressions?
Would you use as your main media centre now XBMC is Android compatible?
They are the size of a USB stick usually with integrated wifi, USB port and HDMI port as well as a micro SD expansion slot. Looks cool.

It looks nice but a x86 one would be better. I suggest you wait a little. Also I think this should be in android general

Answer to the ques
Yh I know what you're taking about , the USB drives are trending nowadays but I hardly can figure out a reason for them with 1.0 Ghz and 512 ddr2 ram which I believe is the maximum specifacion those USB form factor can go. They’re limited to arm instruction set , which means arm software and not x86
so nothing will work instead of android , however I have heard of Ubuntu ARM port.But I believe installing Ubuntu or any other Linux on that USB will be hard to implement
and I think after you install ubuntu you can customize it to make it more like XBMC
They come in much better flavours than those posted above. I like this one:
http://www.hardkernel.com/renewal_2011/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G133999328931
It is basically the Galaxy S3 board with extra peripherals, more than enough for a decent low-powered htpc imo. Runs ubuntu pretty well considering there are no open source Mali drivers.......yet
awesome

That's awesome, might have to pick one up. Especially with XBMC and VLC for android this would make an incredible media solution.

I think it looks awesome even compared with the $25 Raspberry Pi's out there. I'd like to get one, but then again I can use my GS2 for just about everything I need and it'll have more power. It'd be good to have one of these little guys in case I went to someone's house for a weekend or on vacation and needed a basic PC to browse internet, etc.
Good find none-the-less.
I've been following these a lot and so far have been pretty disappointed.
There are a few different ones, the best specs-wise being the cStick.
Always Innovating HDMI dongle (only selling to vendors I believe)
http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/01...eils-open-source-android-4-0-hdmi-dongle-stb/
Mini X Plus and/or Mk802 (my problem with this company is I was reading on their forums reports of both overheating and 512MB models being sold as 1GB).
https://www.miniand.com/products/Mini Xplus TV Box H24
Apparently the Roku streaming stick requires MHL-enabled televisions.
And the best I've seen the cStick has been delayed time and time again and so far haven't updated their status in months.

If anyone knows about any more let me know!

I have been looking at cstick as well, but the lack of information makes me consider it a dead project.
I have ordered a Tizzbird N1, which is more focused on being a media player but will have Google Market (with custom firmware) and the possibility to run apps.
Code:

They are claiming that they will start deliver in Sweden the 27th of August (postponed from 8th of August)

That reminds me of the Raspberry Pi, might have to pick one of these up!
I have had a mk802 for a month or more. Its OK not great. Recently it doesn't want to grab wifi which makes it almost useless. Its laggy and for sale.

i'm also using the mk802.. had it for about 2 weeks now. didn't do much with it other then install XBMC for android on it. and a few pluging to stream my movies and shows. it gets laggy at times
i'm also using the mk802. und Raspberry Pi
both with xbmc
The Raspberry is for Pro Users the MK802 run without knowledge.
WOW
I think that is really really cool. i could make my desktop and laptop pc an android and get rid of everything windows... hmmmm

another thing, I have a XBMC on my original xbox, so your saying i could hook it up to that and browse internet thru the TV? i am sure i could do it with the 360 i have as well..
Quite slick. I found this one on Amazon; definitely added to my wishlist to go with a shiny new HDTV for my living room.
I'm also considering to buy one, but don't you think it can very easily overheat?
Hi guys,
I've just got my first taste of android on a tablet (disgo 8100) and I've sold that for a decent profit, so I'm looking at buying myself a bit of a better tablet. I like the look of the advent vega but I have heard about various gripes such as screen angle and touch screen not being amazing.
So, is the vega still worth buying? I'm after something that:
Has a decent hacking community
Can run emulators well
Can support multiple usb devices through a usb host+ usb hub
Hdmi out (full mirroring)
Run apps quickly.
I'm after a tablet that I can mod, that's still getting updates (community or official) that I can play games in, and use six axis controller via blue tooth etc.
Hope you guys can help me, I don't want to put 100 quid down on a second hand tablet when something could be better for me
Cheers,
Leigh
Yes, the screen angle is pretty terrible! It's like 10% LOL!
Yeah, the touch screen is pretty terrible too! It shows in Fruit Ninja where the slice is 1cm behind your finger and in internet browser where touch is just not fluid.
About the HDMI I don't know if I have a faulty cable or something but when I mirror my tablet's screen it appears like it would output a 360p image instead of 1080p. I can see tiny squares on my 46" 1080p LED TV! The picture is just horrible I'd rather just use an USB stick or use DLNA.
Hacking community on XDA and tabletroms is top notch (don't know how's on other tablets, tho).
I don't know how are emulators working, but apps run pretty quickly and "smooth" (touch spoils that a bit).
I never heard complaints about usb hubs, just use one that has an external power source (just in case).
In the end it all depends in how good condition your tablet will be and at what price.
There are probably tons of same spec tablets in your local shop that are also pretty cheap and there is also a chinese website aliexpress where you can order your cheap noname tablet online, but warranty might cause you problems later on.
I know that those generic chinese tablets have generic ROMs somewhere on the internet that include english language, play store and root, but I don't have any links, sorry.
Hi,
I recently purchased an Advent Vega and flashed the last beta of VegaBean, and I am feeling it a little slow. There is a lot of lag switching between apps, and when I install an app it is damn slow for some seconds. I am using a generic 8GB microSD card, and I think that might be the problem. Using a class 10 card could make the tablet work more fluid?

iam sorry but my experience is No!
but if you have opportunity it is better to try it mate! Try and see if it works for you..
and for those who still uses vega i must say i prefer ICS, less lags, less slowness feeling..

Thanks for the tip. Still I bought a cheap S*ms*ng class 10 microsd to see if it improves the experience, if it doesn't work I will probably sell the tablet and use the microsd with my cellphone
Only if you can get the tablet really cheap. Better tablets are quite cheap nowadays.
For £49 you can buy a much better Archos Cobalt 80 tablet.
1.6Ghz Dual Core CPU, 1GB RAM, preloaded ICS.

I am new to android tv in general, and I am looking to buy my first android usb stick. I am wondering if you guys would recommend the MK808 or MK809?
So far, I read that the MK808 has amazing support - since many developers and programmers have it but it seems to have a few glitches here and there (wifi and bluebooth etc.)
And the MK809 - the latest in the series. All issues on 808 seems to be addressed, but the 809 lack of support and popularity..
Please share your inputs. Thanks

Hi there,
I own the MK809, can't comment on the 808, but the 809 works perfectly.
Hi,
and Hello to everyone.
Also bought the MK809 (T002)
- Runs smoothly without any glitches. Latest official FW installed from mk809.com
If you update the FW dont flash the MK809II Firmware onto the MK809. TV-Dongle runs but some important functions will not work anymore.
Have just tested it to see if i can get Bluetooth support for my MicroBluetooth dongle.
- Antutu 3.0.3 result without tweaking or overclocking: 7983 points
- Controlled by a mini Keyboard Rii mini i8 or the MK802iii remote client app from the PlayStore.
- Runs with my phone charger 5V/1A without problems. But to be on the safe side i also bought an extra 5V/2A power supply for 8bucks.
- Quickly rootable with Zhoudashi tool.
- MX Player shows all FullHD test-vids i tested from blender.org smoothly (Sintel / Tears of Steel)
Resolution 1920/1080/60 using MX players new HW Decoder. Using HW+ i had system freezes causing me to power off the system.
- Cant say anything about digital audio output due to missing equipment. But check the MK809II thread, there is a discussion ongoing.
- Connected devices using a passive usb-hub: 1TB HDD, 16GB Key, RF-Keyboard, USB Gamepad
For sure you can find more custom roms out there for other models, like the MK808.
I also cant say anything about the MK808 but for my needs (as a PC-replacement connected to a big screen ) the MK809 serves perfect.
Cheers

Thanks for the explanation. It seems to me that it really depends on what the user wants to do afterall.
MK809 is flawless for watching/stream movies, while MK808 is more about experimenting with different features / custom rom etc.?
BTW, you got the MK809 right? Not the MK809II or MK809b? (sorry, there are so many different models, that I am confused already)

Yes,
i got the MK809 with 4GB. (Model HTC-T002-V0).
4GB is the only limitation so far. I already started using Apps2SD. Bluetooth would also be a nice option.
I have a 2nd MK809 Dongle here (same model) which has some glitches on the HDMI output. I will use this one to play around with Finless ROM and will try to get my USB-DVB-C running. But i will lose WiFi i think due to missing RTL8188 support.
Will report later.

Why does everyone want to load finless ROM on their stick tho? I thought MK809 already comes with android 4.1.1 installed jelly bean or whatever. isnt that good enough? What so especial about finless ROM?

Finless is just tweaked with some cool features and prerooted.

thanks for sharing the experience
it helps that the finless rom is rooted because a lot of the best adblocking software available is for rooted models only. it also means you can use titanium backup to drop any of the stock programs you won't ever use either.
it also gives you significantly more space for apps - i have 2gb free now, where I had ( i think ) about 500mb free with the stock rom
Sv: Should I get MK808 or MK809 now?
I have the mk808b Bluetooth model and it works great.
I've read somewhere that it has a different Wifi chip compared to the mk808 and I haven't experienced any problems with poor Wifi. I've got my router in a different room some 8 m away and behind concrete walls and a steel cabinet, still some 70-80% signal.
It came pre rooted so all I had to do when I got it was to add my Gmail account and I was good to go.
No heat issues, it gets no warmer than my phone while watching movies and during normal play it's just a bit over room temperature.
I use a Logitech K400 keyboard with the tiny receiver plugged right into the mk808b 's USB port.
It's been running for 3 days now and no glitches what so ever. Only complaint is that Google Currents is impossible to read, the text is ridiculously small, but that's not the mk808b' s fault
I got the mk808b since I wanted Bluetooth and it was cheaper than the others.

I think MK809 is best.
As mentioned previously i now flashed the Finless ROM 1.7 onto my 2nd MK809.
I works perfectly, from what i saw until now.
I have the HTC-T002-V0 PCB with RTL8188EUS WIFI. I have no issues. The WIFI runs like before. Fast and stable.
I am using the CPU1272 Kernel which is a little bit overclocked.
Linux
I just bought one of these, and I love it so far!! I was wondering about loading Linux on to this..I know you can load a version of Ubuntu on to arm processors... Will it work for this?

Hi there,
I own the MK809, can't comment on the 808, but the 809 works perfectly.

This is good to know, I have been debating on whether or not to purchase the mk808 due to wifi problems. I didn't even know there was an mk809 available.
Does anyone know how to output raw digital audio via the HDMI ?
Haven't found a setting or player yet that can do this.
What's the difference between the mk808 v 809 and 809II?
Check out the thread about the mk812 it looks even better.

Yea i dunno. I got excited about the dual core Cortex A9 CPU until i read the tech specs and it isn't a Cortex but an Allwinner which is meh. I love how it says 1.6 CPU then the specs say different.
The external antenna and Bluetooth is nice but I'd stay away. The different chip probably means little to no dev support.

Thanks in advance \o\

Flash runs great on the MK808 which are the same thing as the 809s I believe, just with Bluetooth.
Ubuntu is coming but I don't see much of it. These guys run Android pretty good and I'd stick with it. Android is much better geared at this stuff and the apps look great on a TV.
