Roebeet, Rothnic, and Myself have been hard at work to bring you what we hope will be the killer ROM for our G-Tablets. Now that we have hit BETA status, we are interested in hearing your feedback including issues and feature requests.
The projects git home is here: https://github.com/gojimi/VEGAn-TAB
(here you will find all project code and mods. we are using a free account there and space is limited so ACTUAL RELEASES will happen in the Thread that Roebeet has already started)
Issues and feature requests can be followed and posted here: https://github.com/gojimi/VEGAn-TAB/issues
(please read before posting new issues or features request so we don't fill up with duplicates. you may also vote up the issues you feel are most important and we can concentrate on those areas based on your feedback.)
The wiki for VEGAn-TAB will be here: https://github.com/gojimi/VEGAn-TAB/wiki
(there is nothing there yet.... but as we approach a production stable ROM we may be adding some info here)
Thank you for all your support and patience as we iron out some of the more major issue. (ie. SSL! phew so glad we figured that one out..... such a simple mistake too!)
I am usually buried in CODE or REWORK of current framework that I don't come up for air to check XDA much.... But I do watch the GIT Repo and I will try to make a greater effort to keep an eye on this post.
For questions to issues that you are having but others aren't your answer may still be best answered in Roebeet's post.

The single issue I am having is random factory browser crash, and It is the reason that I have kept the tablet.
Can you guys include a tun/tap module to allow OpenVPN to work?
I can't get the Ad Hoc Tether to work from my rooted Hero phone. I had it working on the Zpad with this fix: http://www.chinadigitalcomm.com/android-a81/a81e-connect-to-ad-hoc-wifi-t1413.html
Any thoughts? Anyone else able to connect to an Ad Hoc Tether?
Edit (Fix) I was using the wrong fix. The fix it to apply the wpa6_adhoc-signed.zip
This was the fix I initially did on the Zpad rom, I just messed up and did the wrong fix...
I had a problem with the sound, sdcard, fc on websites, and changing the soft buttons. It was killer despite those issues. Also rotation of the home screen.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Do you guys still been able to copy the files from laptop to G Tablet running beta? I can't do that. Is there any trick to it or you guys using 2nd SD card?

I had the same issues
I installed the WPA_adhoc-signed.zip and it solved my tethering issues. I tried to find the orginal post with the link to he downlaod but couldn't find it.
I know that there is talk of it in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842004&highlight=wpa_adhoc
and this one too

The only issue I have so far is with Grooveshark FCing. Sign up and tutorial screens work fine but the actual interface never loads. Otherwise, great work on this. Its very responsive and other than the GS FCs I have no FCs.
Thank you guys for your hard work.
Wanted to answer a few of the questions. If I forget you I apologize.
OPENVPN support- we'll look into that feature for the future. (MAY not make it into betas)
wpa_supplicant issues.ie adhoc tether. This is an oversight. Should be in next beta
Most of the sound and stock browser FCS have been fixed(Ssl now works)
SD card issues. We are aware and they are all potentially related to a hack we implemented to get external sd support working. This issue includes the internal SD disappearance when connected to pc via usb. This is my PRIMARY focus right now.
Again thank you all for your patience and feedback.
Is there a way to change the launch applications along the bottom? Even if it's a file to modify.

Tmk, it's not fixable. It seems to be hardcoded, silly as that may sound.

I plan on making a supplement or maybe a full image with the same supplicant binary in TnT Lite, plus that updated Gallery and a clean hosts file.
Working on TnT Lite 2.3.0 primarily at the moment, however. I guess I need two devices!
Another random question. .. I am on Tina lite 2.2 and find it to be super stable and flexible. I am concerned about what will happen when the battery gets to low : )
What happens with this rom when the charge runs out?
With b3 I find that I have to clear devoric cache after each shutdown or I lose the ability to run certain apps. Any suggestions?

Can Not build VEGAn-TAB from source ???
I tried building the source from
VEGAn-TAB git hub
But it seem that there are missing. When I ran
repo init -u < the url submited in this thread for the git> ( it does not allow me to add urls)
I received the following error
fatal: manifest 'default.xml' not available
fatal: manifest default.xml not found
Is it possible to build VEGAn-TAB from source? If it is can you please let me know how?
Thanks
what do i have with VEGAn Beta4??
the only issues i have with this rom is with sdcard2 or the microSD card, only when i put jpeg files in it and i open the gallery to load them and when i do a reboot all the pictures are gone from the microSD card, but just the pictures i can open the music player and play all songs and reboot and they still in there the issue is only for me with image files. After i update the kernel with the patch that has been post on the vegan beta4 topic i think this is almost perfect....i hope you can fix the files getting erased on the microSD card.....but after all you guys are doing and amazing job with all the ROMS you have made....i'm very gratefull for all the work you have done, you make love more this tablet....thanks a lot!

Look and make sure there is NOT a .nomedia file in your picture folders, that will prevent them from showing.
Sent from my SGH-T959
the problem is not the files are not shown on the gallery, the problem is that the pictures are all deleted after i open the gallery and makes the pictures appear in it, so when i reboot the tablet all my pictures get deleted, even if a browse the microsd card with my computer and not in the tablet...all the files are gone!....

I got the same thing tooo. also all my movies get deleted too
At this point the sd card2 is Clean
Ok the installation is very complicated (and probably will not work in a 2.2 phone but let's test anyway)
Do NOT try this if you're not experienced enough, if this works somebody else might prepare an easier update.zip file. I am not responsible for anything, this might set your phone into a bootloop, in that case you have to be smart enough to be able to remove the libs and apks you installed.
Download flashupdate.zip from the attachments.
Copy the folders from the zip file to your OO:s /system directory.
Then take the FlashPlugin.apk file from the zip file and place it onto your sd card.
Reboot your phone
Install the FlashPlayer.apk from the sd card, select replace application.
(You need to have a checkmark in install from unknown sources in the settings)
Reboot your phone.
The flash lite should be working in the default android browser (no opera),
check from the browser settings if plugins are enabled, try this site:
w ww .whatismyflash.co m
Write here what version number the site reports, if any.
These libraries were taken from the Samsung i5800, which has an armv6 processor and launched with Android 2.1, this is not dependant on htc frameworks like the flash lite on the legend and hero.

forgive me for asking, but how come this is inside a Froyo discussion?
I tried this method a long time ago and it didn't work. maybe it only works with the 2.1 browser.
I said probably, i just wanted to test the possibility, I don't own an optimus so i had no idea if it would work. It seems this is not possible, thanks for the replies.
Test with Optimus One with Prime v2.
Installer ok, browser don't crash but drill no flash...
I bet you also have to tell the browser that flash lite exists. IMO flash lite just sits there waiting to be called to work.
Actually it does. If you don't believe me, install Adobe Flash 10.1. Every time you visit a site containing flash the browser will exit (NOT force close).
This works similarly.
I saw someone say on the dev category that flash works with dolphin hd. Check the thread where they're talking about gingerbread
maybe flash works in gingerbread with dolphin i can prove that flash dosent work on dolphin on 2.2
but what i can say is that i can install flash on cm7 but it dosent work on the browser i did try alot flash movies but no one worked.
I tried CM7 too but I can't really test flash since I can't seem to get an IP address from our router, and the network I'm on does not have 3G or even GPRS
As soon as the dhcp issue is resolved, I'll test it out and report.
The only way to install flash on optimus one now is by installing the Eclair browser. anyone can do this? or port Eclair to our phones. Hahaha.
isn' that kinda like going backwards?
yes but it's good in a way that we get flash lite 3.1
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-flash-10-1-on-android-2-1-eclair-devices/
that maybe a solution for our phone to install 10.1 flash on our phone
I'm going to try again with mik_os' CM7 port. I've been reading reports of flash working If it doesn't, I'm flashing back to my old ROM until GPS is fixed
nope flash dosent work on gingerbread.
i did try it now for a multipletimes.
I've found something on the market called "MobileFlash". However, I don't think it installs a plugin on the browser. Go check it out

JELLYBEAN (Added 12 May 2013+)
Q1: Can it be that the wait is over?
Indeed. Some ten months after the ICS update to our beloved SGT7.7 (and the release of JB into the wild), the Jelly Bean (Android 4.1.2) update has finally arrived. As of now, the ROM for Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, and Malaysia (PDA= P6800DXMD3, CSC = P6800OLBMD3) is available; and only for the P6800 (not the P6810). If you device came from the appropriate locations and have an appropriate stock ROM, you should be able to update via Kies. Else, download the file from Sammobile.com (search for "P6800").
The two main methods for flashing the ROM (not counting officially via Kies) are ODIN, and MobileODIN (requires a rooted device before flashing). Instructions for using both can be found here. Flashing with MobileODIN can be done preserving root, which is convenient. I have upgraded my SGT7.7 (Hong Kong model) with the Singapore ROM, using MobileODIN, wiping cache and data (thus losing my old apps, etc.), but preserving root--apparently, doing it this way can help avoid some potential wifi issues (reported in the forums), and battery life.
Q2: What languages are available in the SEA ROM (PDA = P6800DXMD3, CSC = P6800OLBMD3)?
As the ROM is meant for Southeast Asia (Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines and Malaysia), the available languages are: English (UK), English (US), Bahasa Indonesia, Bahasa Malaysia, Tamil (?), Tieng Viet, Korean and Chinese (Simplified). A workaround for getting additional input languages is described in this post. Alternatively, you can also install swype (from Play Store), which has the option for downloading ton of additional input languages.

ICE CREAM SANDWICH (Added 6 July 2012; edited 27 July 2012)
Q1: Whaa...?
As of the time of posting, the Android 4.0 ICS upgrade is only available via Kies for devices from Austria, and as more recently, Hong Kong. However, it is possible to download a copy of the respective ROMs from sammobile.com--search for "P6800" (3g/wifi version) or "P6810 (wifi only version). The .zip file is 590+MB. Be sure to get the correct ROM as the one for the P6800 will not work on the P6810 and vice versa. The ROMs do seem to work on devices from a variety of countries (not counting the Verizon 7.7). A list of languages supported in the Austria ROM can be found here. See here for discussion of the Hong Kong ROM.
The two main methods for flashing the ROM (not counting officially via Kies) are ODIN, and MobileODIN (requires a rooted device before flashing). Instructions for using both can be found here. Flashing with MobileODIN can be done preserving root, which is convenient. A detailed and guide using ODIN can also be found here.
It is also possible to flash with HEIMDALL--but just make sure that it is not Ver. 1.3.2 (1.3.1 works fine). The main bits: heimdall flash --cache cache.img --factoryfs factoryfs.img --hidden hidden.img --modem modem.bin --recovery recovery.img --secondary-boot Sbl.bin --kernel zImage; then CWM can be flashed with heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img (cgm999)
Flashing the ICS Rom over a STOCK Rom (both rooted and unrooted) preserves settings and most of the third-party apps, i.e., wiping is not required. (All told, this is also probably the safest way to proceed.) Mileage varies if flashing over non-stock Roms. (UPDATE--wintermute000 writes: "...doing a clear data/factory reset in locerra's Clockwork Recovery is 100% safe, the brick bug affects STOCK recovery.
More information on the brick bug and whether it affects ICS on the 7.7; also this.).
Some of the issues involving missing or non-functioning stock apps seems resolved if the a factory reset is done after flashing (settings>Back up and reset>Factory data reset; or when off, hold volume up and briefly press power to access option to factory reset). UPDATE--WildmanJoe writes: "...following a suggestion from another member on the board, I have found that it is not necessary to do a factory reset if your stock apps don't work. Just go to settings>applications and clear the data for the stock apps that don't work. It is tedious, however, it eliminates the factory reset brick risk..."
ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT YOU FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK AS IT IS POSSIBLE TO BRICK YOUR DEVICE (see this discussion, and this.)
See here for a database of successful/unsuccessful upgrade configurations. (Do also contribute your own experience.)
Q2: What's it like?
As anticipated, the tab is way more responsive with ICS rather than Honeycomb. But having said that, ICS for the SGT7.7 does come with Samsung's 'enhancements', which means touchwiz (and no stock ICS Launcher). The Email, Contacts, Calendar ("S-Planner"), Messaging, Clock, etc. apps are also from Samsung. On the bright side, the unable-to-write-to-externalSD problem seems solved.
Q3: How do I modify the looks of it?
As with Honeycomb, an alternative launcher is still recommended (unless you have a special love for touchwiz). Possibilities include the old favorites ADW Launcher Ex, Go Launcher, LauncherPro, etc., but now also including those that only work with ICS and above: e.g., Nova and Apex. Furthermore, you can also install a status bar that looks (mostly) like stock ICS with this mod.
Q4: Can I install stock Google apps?
Search for "Android 4 ICS Calendar", "Android 4 ICS Messaging SMS" and "Android 4 ICS Launcher" by Tim Hutt in Play Store.
Q5: What about the Browser?
A Samsung tweaked version. You can always install Google Chrome (Play Store)--but this one does not work with flash--or Dolphin HD.
Q6: What about the keyboard(s)?
Comes with a Samsung keyboard, swype, and voice input. The version of Swype that comes with the Rom supports a limited number of languages, and there is no option to download more languages. If you want to use swype with other languages, go to the swype website, sign up for a free account, and follow the instructions to install swype beta. Swype beta can coexist with the version of swype that came with the Rom, and allows the possibility of installing additional languages (including Arabic, Korean, Chinese, etc.).
If what you want is the stock ICS keyboard, search for "IceCream Sandwich-ICS Keyboard" in the Play Store.
Q7: Can I root?
Yes and no. To be more precise: a rooted stock Honeycomb Rom can be upgraded to ICS via MobileODIN while preserving root. Update: here is a method to root the ICS rom.
* * * * *
HONEYCOMB (Older version of the FAQ)
Q1: Surely this thing with its speedy processor should feel more responsive?
A: First and foremost, this thing is very speedy and responsive (see e.g., this discussion). Ok, ok, the general consensus is that Honeycomb (Android 3.0) and Samsung Touchwiz (the default launcher) are holding back the otherwise stellar hardware a little. The only solution for the first is to wait for the upcoming Ice Cream Sandwish (Android 4.0) update, slated to be released July 2012.
What can--and arguably should--be done in the meantime is to change the launcher. ADW Launcher Ex*, Go Launcher, LauncherPro, and SPB all options. Apart from being much faster, more responsible and less of a resource hog, they are also much more customizable compared to Touchwiz (search in Market for various themes and icon packs). Some worry that since Touchwiz is not removed (it can't be on stock unrooted rom), it might still be in the background. If you are afraid that it is taking up valuable processor cycles, remove all homescreen widgets on Touchwiz to make yourself feel better, like I did.
*Jade Eyed Wolf has put up a very useful video tutorial on how to use ADW here (the thread is here). To get rid of the top statusbar in ADW, see this.
Q2: Is there a way to make the system font size larger without rooting?
There is an app for that; though this is probably be a better way for the those who have rooted their device (omarrabbat).
Q3: I am unable to write to the external sd card (from within Android) using anything other than the stock file manager; is there something wrong with me?
A: No, you're fine. That's how it is out of the box. The solution requires rooting (see Q4 below) the device and changing the permissions for the sd card. See here. (You can of course write to the sd card with Windows explorer after connecting the Tab to the PC via the USB cable.) Another method for solving the problem is available here; note that you will also need the device to be rooted, and have CWM Recovery installed, beforehand (lowem).
Q4: How do I get root access?
One guide is here; another (with instructions to unroot) is here.
Q5: Why can't I seem to change the lockscreen wallpaper?
Settings>Screen>Screen display>Lock screen. At which point you should be in Gallery (or if, like me, you have an alternative pic viewer--e.g., QuickPic--installed, the dialogue box should ask you to "select wallpaper from"...). Select photo of choice, but make sure to crop with Gallery, and presto. See discussion here.
Q6: How do I get movies and tv shows onto the tab?
See this discussion.
Q7: How do I connect my tab to my PC using a USB cable? Wireless?
Make sure that the appropriate drivers are installed on the PC (e.g., download and install Samsung Kies. When plugged in, Windows should recognize the tab as an MTP device, which allows one to browse both the internal storage and the external sd card in Explorer. The option to convert files as you copy to the device is not a good idea (see this). Best to do any conversion you want on the PC. It's safe to disconnect by simply pulling out the USB cable.
For wireless file transfers (and much more), try Airdroid, which works, and is free.
Q8: What's a good pdf reader for this baby?
There are several good choices: EBookDroid, Repligo, EzPDF, Mantano, Aldiko...

Reply from Samsung re: ICS for P6800
Dear XXXX,
Thank you for contacting Samsung Customer Care.
Unfortunately we do not have any details with regards to when an update will come for your device. Rest assured the development team are working on the next update and your issue has been noted .
If you have any further enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact Samsung Customer Care.
Thank you for contacting Samsung.
Kind regards,
XXXXXXXXXX
-------------------------------------------------------
Dear Samsung team member, can you please pressure the product team to release an upgrade to this device as the screen fonts are so small its very difficult to use.
I have read in a number of forums that customers are not happy with this problem and some believe that it will be fixed with the release of ICS for this device.
I bought the product with the intention of using it for work and its painfull to read. I really hope something can be done to fix this urgently.
Kind regards
XXXX

I've used Bluetooth File Transfer app from the market on my SGS phone to send files to my paired GT-P6810. It works great. Remember though that BT is sloooow so use alternate, egWiFi, for large files.

This is good. The original poster noted that the method "won't work for a device that doesn't have CWM Recovery installed." What about your own 7.7: was it rooted and did you have CWM Recovery installed when you use the update.zip?

I've always just pulled my USB cable out. Doesn't seem to be any issue. I suppose it's more proper to effect it on the PC first.

Windows doesn't have an "eject" or "safely remove hardware" option for devices connected via MTP--at least, not one like it does for HDDs, flash drives, or other USB mass storage devices. As long as you're not using the connection it's fine to just unplug it.
Since I am not allowed to post in the developer thread, I want to thank this way for the great gift Omnirom 4.4.
You have breathed new life into my n7000. :crying:
Thanks to chasmodo, herna, AA1973 and all the developers involved in the project for the hard work, patience and humor.
I hope the error report in the new version today (omni-4.4.1-20131208-NIGHTLY-n7000) can help the project to continuously improve.
Awesome ROM indeed

can you show how smooth its running with a video or so?
Same here.. Even I can't post in that thread.
Its a awesome rom, smooth, new features etc. But I have to share some bugs which I thought may be shared here:
1. Can't move apps to sd card.
2. Bluetooth when connected through car (for phone and audio), disconnects and reconnect in every 11-12 mins.
3. Google search and google play services are consuming too much of battery. I guess its a Kitkat issue.
I am currently on 8th Dec rom. Rest is pretty good. No problem at all.
You can't post in a development thread until you reach the number of 10 posts... But you can search the thread without posting..
If you use hot word recognition in GLE, then it will drain battery.
Kernel > herna posted a Kernel which enables apps to be moved. Although Google deprecated this AFAIK.
Last, but not least, thanks for being mentioned, flatters me - but I am *not* a developer!

Even when I switched off the hot word recognition in GLE, location services off, no auto sync, etc still Google search or google play services is the most battery drainer when the phone is not used overnight.
OmniROM is really a real gift for the N7000. It's much better than Cyanogemod for me, because the performance is better. But i also had some trouble and i'm not able to post in the developers thread. Here are my problems:
- external SD card isn't mounted properly, so i have to take some detours to open it with ES explorer
- when i enable ART i can't lock the screen anymore (omni-4.4.1-20131208-NIGHTLY-n7000)
- OpenDelta is able to reduce the update size, but when it boots into TWRP the update fails because the script is searching /sdcard which is the external SD, but the update.zip is stored in the internal SD which is mounted as /emmc, so you have to update manually
Do you have the same issues ?

No issues with me as you have mentioned. All three options are available to me.

Have done that but no success. But yes.. Bcoz of disabling this the footprint of google search on battery consumption is less as compare to previous settings. But other culprit Google play services remains the same.
Just to update on continuous bluetooth disconnection, I unpaired my car connection and also deleted the phone from car and reconnect it. As for now it is paring up nicely for more than 20 mins. Lets see how it reacts if connected for more than this.
My battery is doing fine now, btw.

Use another file explorer. Might be also an issue of es file explorer. Or a mixture of both, as es expects the external in mnt/media_rw
Don't enable ART. It is experimental and has to be treated as such. Hence it is hidden in developer options.
Didn't have such an issue with OpenDelta. In any case. Please remember that
A) Omni is a very "young" firmware
B) OpenDelta has been introduced 2 nightlies ago. Be gentle and patient
For me, OpenDelta worked this morning.
Did you enable SuperSU backup script within SuperSU app, too?

For now i haven't activated the backup script. EDIT: It's activated now.
Then do it.

Update: Regarding the google search and play service battery consumption, I tried cache and dalvik cache wipe through recovery mode and now batery is giving good backup.
OpenDelta worked good for me! Also running ART! Thanks!
Wonder what boot shows on asylum

Well, there is only one way to find out.
But be careful, don't do it if you have a hearth condition or are prone to epilepsy.

Had I listened to you!
As a precaution I have taken the 9/12. I look in here again when I'm back from the sanatorium.
Thank you so much Omni team. I was waiting this ROM. It’s really great user friendly and smooth.
Query: Do the active display in display setting uses the moto x like feature of only activating the pixels where the display is required and not the whole screen?
Hi folks,
I think few people have already experienced that but I literraly can't download single file over 2Gb which is really annoying.
Ofc I've already performed a full wipe, cleaned everything, reinstall OS with stock firmware. I also tried to switch from official Oxygen OS to Open beta but nothing works.
The only thing I didn't tried is to format storage into f2fs (i'm actually in ext4)
But 1- I don't think it'll work because I didn't have any problem in ext4
2 - I can't install any OS after it's formated (I get error 7) even if I know how I could get rid of this error.
Moreover, I can't use any OTG stuff and I think it's linked cuz this issue appeared at the same time (or my OTG cable is maybe dead lol)
If anyone has an idea it'd be really great.
I'm facing this issue for weeks now and because it's very uncommon, no one try to help me...
Download using Android Download Manager and you are good to go
Hey. Finally I found a solution.
I have no issue with chrome 68 and the new download manager.
However, I don't understand why I was facing this problem with old chrome versions.
And unfortunately my OTG cable still not work

Chrome always had problems downloading files larger than 2GB. Not sure whether they have fixed it now , i started using ADM to capture my downloads to fix this issue.
And do you know by any chance why my OTG is not working (my OTG stick is working, i tested it on an other device --> Your phone is rooted ? If so, which ROM are u using ?
Damn

Oh well, I never faced this issue with chrome before but it's fixed anyway.
Yes my phone is rooted. I'm using OOS Open Beta 15, but even when I was on official OOS, it didnt work... I also tried to wipe + reinstall the firmware, but even with OOS Nougat it didnt work...
I wonder if it's an encryption issue
it's google. they've crippled android more each version out of contempt for power users. Anyone paying attention can easily see that their actions are not aligned with their supposed philosophy they like to brag on. If they spent half as much time on quality control as they do on platform control, then they might have something besides borked ux. Even their stock rom is useless

Wow I didn't notice that. To be honnest, I try to get rid of those google ****s. I deleted chrome because of my issue and installed Kiwi browser.
However, as far as I see, no one is facing this OTG issue...
I'll maybe give up and just use my computer for the transfers between my usb stick and my phone
