Link to other ROMs for Advent Vega Tablet

Guys,
Looks like the folks at the Modaco Advent Vega tablet forum are also using the VeganTab version of the ROM for our Gtablets. Would any of the ROMs on their rom download page also work on our Gtablets?
Here is the link: http://android.modaco.com/content/a...6486/advent-vega-rom-software-updates-guides/
Anyone know if any of these Vega roms would work on the gtablet without modifications? Looks like they're also using the Vegan rom that the developers here made for the Gtablet.

I just tried Big Ideas ROM in our Gpad...It works but its all in chinese, have to set language to english and wifi is broken. Other than that everything seems to be fine. Had to build a boot.img though coz the included boot.img wont work.
UPDATE:
Figured out how to change language from Chinese to ENglish and did a wifi patch. Everything is functional so far. Will do further testing and might release Big Ideas ROM for our GPAD. BTW, its pretty snappy

This Big Ideas Rom dont even need a market fix.

Have been using the the Big-ideas variations since 1202 on my Zpad. Have had no issues with wifi, lag and market. What I did was NVFlash Big Ideas ROM then made a GAPPS update with update.script to delete all Chinese apps then pushed the Google apps. This has been working out quite well.
I guess what Rothnic proposed about using Big-ideas as a base then add Vegan stuffs is heading in the right direction.

Rom 1.06.05 (VEGA) is the base foundation for VEGAn beta 4/5, FYI. A lot of this is intermingled.
I do like that link, as they seem to update it frequently.

I love the file explorer in Big Ideas rom. Does anyone know what app that is?

I LOVE BIG IDEAS ROM!!! I'm building a Vanilla version and might upload it tomorrow after testing it

I'm confused... I thought that ZPad 3.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853310) already *was* essentially the vanilla version of the Big Ideas ROM, with the Chinese language stuff stripped out.

Thanks my understanding, as well.

I would try update 3. Be careful it says use at you own risk! Not sure if they are any newer than what we already have. i was just curious. Try taking a quadrant score before and after, see if it makes a difference. I admire your courage

I gave it a try awhile back sadly the USB key button was not functional of course. Simply clicking the USB key button in iFileManager makes it much easier, even if the translation is sometimes appalling

I worked around that issue by just simply making my usb system file a favorite which then gave me a direct link.

[DEV][ROM] ILAROM v. alpha (based on KPN 2.3.3)

I've made a custom rom, according to my personal preferences.
I don't remember all the changes, but some are:
- Based on KPN 2.3.3 official rom for Spain.
- Deodexed.
- Rooted.
- Changed boot animation.
- CRT animation enabled.
- SIP calling enabled.
- Removed some Samsung bloatware.
- Added Cyanogenmod's DSPManager (equalizer).
- Added some Google's apps, including Car Home and Music, among others.
- Added some other apps (according to my preferences).
- Custom kernel with ext4 support.
- Replaced Samsung's TW-Launcher with Zeam.
- Removed Samsung's keyboard.
- Added Gingerbread stock keyboard.
- Removed Swype, as this lets you install the latest beta .(http://beta.swype.com).
- Replaced the Clock and alarm app with Cyanogenmod's one (more options for alarms).
- More changes that I don't remember.
Flash from ClockworkMod. You need to have previously installed any Gingerbread rom.
No wipe needed. Always make a nandroid backup before flashing roms.
Sorry for the screenshots in spanish, I'll add english versions later.
Link: Uploading new version.

Wow another, brand new custom firmware Greate work man, thanks. But can you upload some screen shots pls? For that changes especially?

Thanks, i try it now!

Hm.. I dont see any big reason to switch to this ROM, maybe for the KPN and the DSPManager.
But great work, always good to have more choices!

Screenshot please...thanks
can i have a dsp manager apk for stock rom...

worth a try. I am waiting for CodeRom v2-2 but will flash this one while waiting.
hope this does not drain battery a lot like some others.

[DEV/LEAK] Acer Iconia Tab A200

Here are some updates files from the Acer Iconia Tab A200 (Honeycomb 3.2.1), that seems to be a "low-cost" A500.
All files can be found here : http://vache-android.com/v1/index.php?site=files&cat=38
It's including a new Acer Ring app and lockscreen shortcuts.
It also have a new Acer Iconia Tab bootanimation.
Screenshots :
What it does not have :
-Rear Camera
-Dolby Mobile (or it's not active atm)
-Maybe other things i didn't see.
ROM based on A200 system by fguy (only for test purpose)

New lockscreen looks very nice!

Yep, there's also a shortcut to take screenshot, really usefull, and to open the app drawer. That's a nice idea from Acer.

Yay something new!
But alas, Android 4 is on the horizon. And we all know how Acer loves to update!

does it work with 50x ?

Not as it is, but by changing the boot.img from an A500 it's working/booting well.

It's not an apk, it's included in the framework and it's a pain to port it to another ROM.

With the screenshot, isn't that not included in Android (unless rooted?) or implemented to use without root - I think ICS is the first one with native screenshot included?

ASUS and some other HC ROMs have had screen-shot built-in for awhile right from the factory (hold app history button down etc.) I don't think you had to be rooted, but I could be mistaken since these were custom ROMs I was using and was always rooted.

Ah okay, my bad, didn't think they had it.

acer did good job!
A200 is 3.2.1,and A500 is only 3.2?

Is this ROM in development?
How is it functioning so far?
It does not have back camera as in the a200 does not have one / and / or this ROM does not have it?
Does anyone have a list of bugs in this ROM?
I would love to test when I get home, want to know if it's worth flashing!
PS Love the lockscreen!

Damn, I get to the Acer logo, and nothing. Just sits there.

Without having checked, I'd guess that most "H/W not working" problems are simply missing drivers (i. e. we'll have to wait for Acer to fix them or reverse-engineer existing ones -- which I'm not going to try as it tends to be one huge pain in the ___). Other than that, I guess this ROM is fairly stable with minor glitches in the UI and framework (most leaks are, I haven't tried this one).

The stuff that doesnt work seems to be because the a200 doesnt have it, ie the a200 has no rear facing camera so this rom has no rear facing camera. In a sense its missing, but for what it is the rom functions fully. I'm actually shocked to see this thread, i didnt know this was posted on XDA and found it elsewhere about a week ago and have been using it as my daily not realizing it was a leaked rom (rookie mistake not checking the thread date for the other forum that had it) and I actually like how smooth it is and feel like its just as stable as the stock a500 rom. Then again, I dont extensively push my tablet to the limit, I do my budget/check book, play around online and occasionally hook up a ps3 controller and play some SNES so maybe someone else should comment on the stability of the rom. Only problem I can find is I hear the latest market is 3.4.4 and this rom seems stuck on 1.1.0 and I cant figure out how to get the market all the other roms had(it has the market I had when I pulled this thing out of the box, not the one that came when I updated).

[ROM][ICS][P7310]P7510XABLPL_P7510UELPL clean port v2[2012-08-16]

This is a clean port of the US P7510 firmware that was released very recently.
For screenshot, go here: http://blog.apedroid.com/2012/08/official-ics-from-p7510-running-on-p7310.html
Downloads
Version 2: https://hotfile.com/dl/167367272/873eb0f/P7510XABLPL_P7510UELPL_for_P7310_v2.zip.html
Version 1: https://hotfile.com/dl/167139991/1ccdcd2/P7510XABLPL_P7510UELPL_for_P7310.zip.html
Changelog
Version 2 - Fixed low power mode charging animation. Changed all P7510 to P7310 in build.prop except fingerprint. Rooted out-of-the-box.
Version 1 - First release. The only things changed is kernel, kernel modules and one line added build.prop (to fix screen rotation).
Instructions
- Flash with Clockwork recovery (I use 6.0.0.8 from the CM9 thread but most versions should work).
- Remember to wipe!
- For me the first boot is with completely black screen but I can hear the boot sound. After a while it reboots and this time the screen is on and the bootanimation can be seen. No idea if it will do the same on all devices. Do not panic, just wait it and it should reboot (at least it does for me).
- Compass does not work correctly, likely due to the different screen rotation on our device but it never worked in official 3.2 anyway so I guess we're used to it not working.
- HDMI is 90 degrees rotated.
Everything done at your own risk, as usual...

I used the ICS kernel source (GT-P7510_ICS_Opensource_Update2.zip) from Samsung and compiled it using the supplied samsung_p5wifi_defconfig without doing any changes. Seems like all the p5/p5wifi bits are in place in the p4/p4wifi kernel source.
I've tried to keep it as clean as possible. I'm sure others will root, deodex and tweak it later.
I might do one for the P7300 using the italian P7500 firmware if time allows.

Very grateful for all your work and knowledge sharing for the gt8.9 7300/10.
Might be weeks for official Samsung ics, so this will be very popular, I predict
Stupid question: the screen shot indicates that device id is p7510. Would that confuse some apps, market, or CWM recovery, or flashable zips ?

Okay so far it's def a patch to 4.0.3 but because everything is a patch as in bootloader.blob and build.prop.p and SystemUI.apk.p everything is basically a xxx.apk.p ending with a ".p" which is patch.. I'm going to try and open the build.prop which is what would tell you it is in a hex editor to see if it decrypts it

Cool, thanks for looking at this. I wonder why Acer is sending an OTA for this now.

Yeah it's just a newer version of Ice Cream Sandwich.. (Updated 4.0.3) basically all they did was updated most of the apps added some new ones in like Chrome etc.. Updated a bunch of libs and the GPS.. Looks like a newer patched recovery and bootloader as well... Nothing to special that you can't get on your own if you are posting here on XDA... Mine is running CM 10.2 so in my book I'm on the latest OTA set forth by "us" and not Acer lol....
Hope this helped you guys or anyone looking for some info!

It's interesting to see that. I heard the new 4.3 KK will help some older devices because the optimized core, but that's for those really old ones, not a dual core tab like A500. What's the reason for Acer to totally abandon A500? I do run in a lot problems even after I deleted all my apps. It just SOD for no obvious reason. And for this reason, I'm stir clear of Acer completely. I thought Acer was using the tablet market as a chance to expend their market in US but the real impact to me is it actually made me realize how bad a brand it is and I should avoid it at all cost.

Interesting. Everyone's experience is different; I for one love acer products. I have the a500 that works great. I use it everyday at work. I have two acer laptops as well. I prefer these over me Dell desktop and Samsung i7 laptop. If the acer liquid s2 ever came to the USA I would drop my Note 2 in a heart beat.
