cant get this to work properly in games, tried a few ROM versions and still no joy. Before anyone jumps all over me I have tried the performance fix, did feck all.
It could be the ROM combination I am using. Can anyone list their ROM combinations who actually have it working in say, raging thunder.
Ie, ROM modaco v8 - firmware 1.8
it's not a ROM problem.
it's a hardware problem.
the accelerometer used on the vega is really really crap and it's only good to rotate apps orientation.
I only play on the vega games that doesn't need the sensor such as angry birds, gun bros, air attack.
there is a fix for this, now works fine for me, see modacco formum, you will need to sign up to search (sorry cannot refind the thread) - just a zip to install using CMR

Is this the fix you refer to? It says its for r6, which firmware are you running? Just wanted to check before i tried it.
Thanks

I checked the video and really doesn't seem to really fix that much.
Anyway, it's for modaco-r6, I'm running on stock.v1.09+add.on.

My tablet is running 1.09 + fuji ROM, works a treat for me.
[FIX] Accelerometer
I have also found the accelerometer issues to be annoying. i have just started running the CM7 HC tweaks from Mad Murdoch, (Nightly ROm on 5/5/11) and so far the accelerometer is working perfectly.
I will update later with a list of accelerometer games known to work once I get home and download some more.
Edit:
Jet car stunts
raging thunder
speedex 3d
All working fine with cm7 ttrc2, but ROM is generally too laggy to use daily.
Come oncm7, get stable so we can start trying the new tegra optimised games!

This was very much a software issue, not hardware.
At the moment if you want to experience a proper working accelerometer on the vega flash mad_murdoch's cm7.
We are working on porting it to stock roms.
Hey guys!
I tried to search for this issue but never found someone with the same prob.
Everytime an overlay that highly contrasts with it's background I get some kind of a graphic glitch... I took a screenshot to show it better:
i51[dot]tinypic[dot]com/qx3y2o.png
I'm running Oxygen 2.2.2 r1 with Franco 17/Sep...
245Mhz - 1024Mhz (SmartassV2)
Do you know that glitch? Am I all alone here? Do you know any way to patch it?
Thanks a lot!
Well, it seems that noone has this issue... But anyway... here are my findings:
It ONLY happens in Oxygen ROM... with or without FF Kernel... any I/O scheduler, governor, frequency...
So it's clearly an Oxygen issue with my phone... CM7, MIUI and Stock all work fine...
The issue is clearly seen by anyone that uses Dolphin HD browser... If you press the "Draw gesture" corner, the suposed overlay comes all distorted...
I don't know how the android 2D libs work, but my experience in OpenGL in PC's it's like the Z buffer is all confused... Or if textures are being draw in the wrong order...
It only happens with semi-transparent overlays (could be some blend bug)... I don't really know... It seems a prob with the 2D libs, given the fact that 3D works flawlessly...
Could anyone with Oxygen ROM try Dolphin HD to see if you have the issue?
Thanks... I really like Oxygen, but this problem is a killer!
EDIT: (corrected some errors)
EDIT 2: When trying Dolphin HD, enter www.google.com before trying the gesture thing... The problem is best seen that way...
ok you are not alone, same happen here , but is not big deal for me
Ah! At least I'm not alone
Well, the thing is that this could easily be related to the Flash not working bug...
And the bug is a bit anoying IMO...
Same problem here. Very annoying!
The fix is here:

Whenever I type on Facebook or anywhere else on the net my keyboard is extremely laggy. Its fine in apps and such. Ive tried three different keyboards - asus, android, and thumb so I don't think that's the problem and my wifi signal is very strong so I know that's not the issue either. Im rooted but running stock rom/kernel. Will flashing a custom rom and/or kernel remedy this? If so any suggestions on which ones?

this is a known issue there is allot of information about it use search before posting
It's Honeycomb, not the Transformer itself.
Should be improved in ICS.
I like the Asus keyboard better then the stock honeycomb one but it was laggy as hell before I disabled that half ass Swype feature.
It's an issue with the stock browser. Apps work just fine because they're optimized for the hardware, but most of the websites on the internet are not. You can alleviate some of the lag by using a different browser like Opera, but don't expect miracles.
Since I'm still too n00b to post in the Dev Forum I'll post this here.
I just installed this awesome ROM and it all woks pretty fine... except for the bugs everybody has already mentioned in some topic or another.
About the bug regarding the capacitive buttons (the little Home/Menu/Back/Search) non correctly lighting up I found out a peculiar thing not mentioned by anyone else (afaik).
Maybe it could be useful, maybe not.
Anyway... in my phone (DHD ex-Cyanogenmod7, s-off, wiped) they are consistently turned off except when I open an ebook with Aldiko.
It always happens, and they stay ON untill I leave the ebook's pages.
It happens with both pdfs and epubs.
It only happens with Aldiko ... both Kindle and MoonReader failed to show the same glitch.
Just wanted to let people know u_u

its look like kernel problem try diffrent rom on ur phone.
Maybe I will ... this ROM is still too raw (performance-wise) for me right now.
Browser navigation is quite slow and the overall phone is not very snappy (compared to CM7).
But my post was intended as a little help for the Dev Team ... maybe noticing this Aldiko glitch may help them understand where to put theor hands on the kernel.
Or maybe not XD
Umm use a different reader .if the lights stay on maybe a kernel issue just flash lords kernel from the dev section .failing that man use a devs Cyranogen infused rom

Forgot to ask what rom r u running
I used to run CM7.
With that rom the buttons were always ON, as they were meant to.
I usually use the Kindle app and it did nothing strange.
Then I installed (and am currently using) Virtuous Quattro RC2.
With this the buttons are always OFF, which is a bug.
Searching the forums I found out that this is a more or less common bug, and there is no fix for it right now.
But then I read an article about how awesome this Aldiko app is, and decided to try it along with MoonReader and a few others.
Doing this I accidentally discovered that Aldiko somehow "fixes" the button's bug.
Searching the forums it appears no-one else reported this thing to the Virtuous devs.
So I thought: if Aldiko "does something" that fixes the bug, maybe telling the Devs may help them look in the right place and find a solution or a workaround.
That is all
Also running that rom...after trying several. This seems to be the least buggy of all of...I have tried several. The 1beta4 (LC) was the quickest/smoothest. but I had numerous small but annoying issues and loaded Quattro on 1/23. I have an Inspire. I also loaded the Quattro wifi fix and had to load Lordmod for the sound to work..appears to be an issue with Inspire and ICS. Anyway, long story longer...I am also an Aldiko fan/user and don't have any issues with the buttons at all...maybe the difference in phone...or the 2 additional zips made it a non issue?
I'm now running RC3.
Wifi problem is solved.
Capacitive button problem is solved.
General lagginess appears to be solved.
Battery life seems better too.
Strange enough, there is no way to remove the 3g toggle from the task bar
Good job team Virtuous! :-D

I have been running RC3 on my HTC Incredible S for the past few weeks and I never had any problem with the capacitive buttons until recently they stopped glowing and as you mentioned earlier they start working when I open Aldiko app. I read that the problem got solved for the RC3 then why am I having these issues?
Firstly, a big thanks to fellow kiwi developer "dzo" for this great port!
Official dev thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492957
I'm unable to post in the dev section until I have 10 posts, so I thought I would start an issues thread here for people who also haven't made 10 posts yet.
***IF YOU DO HAVE AN ISSUE YOU WOULD LIKE TO POST ABOUT, IT MAY BE HELPFUL TO INCLUDE KERNEL AND ROM DETAILS***
e.g. Official 2.3.5 B522 as base, Aurora ICS version 1.6, used 5.5.0.4 Recovery
CURRENT TESTING VERSION - 1.8
Issues:
-Sound from the speaker is scratchy and distorted, everytime the phone emits sounds - especially noticeable in notifications.
-The volume from the speaker is too loud on the lowest volume setting.
-Product name/model needs to be changed from 'msm7630_surf' to 'Huawei u8800' in build.prop
-SD card sometimes doesn't mount (requires restart to mount)
-No panorama mode in camera. ---stock camera app
-Gallery app crashes when selecting Edit (random, sometimes the photo editor works, sometimes crashes).
-Movie Studio crashes when adding in/out transitions.
-Camera app crashes when selecting any "face effect" in video mode. ---stock camera app
Notes:
I used the B522 official Huawei 2.3.5 as base, and then loaded version 1.6 over top of that using Recovery 5.5.0.4.
Archived Issues:
-The lights on the backlit keys don't work all the time, even when it's dark. [It appears this is by design. Use auto-brightness for the keys to light automatically.]
-Mobile Networks --> Network Operators is unable to search for networks (both automatically and manually). It says "Error While Searching for Networks". [Seems to have been fixed with 1.8]
-UI is generally quite laggy across the whole system [Seems a lot better with 1.8]
-It probably needs a "file explorer app" installed as stock so you don't have to manually transfer one via USB. [ES File Explorer added in version 1.8]
-Red border appears momentarily on occasion (usually when a sound is playing - also happens when unlock pin code is being entered) [Hasn't happened with version 1.8]
-Playback of music tracks does not automatically go to next track after previous track is finished. ---beyond pod; stock music player [Fixed in version 1.8]
Version 1.6?
some people are complaining about slow Internet connection.. do you note that issue?

I've only just loaded ICS on during the last few hours, so haven't had time to thoroughly test internet/browser. Will do eventually though.
The Ookla Speedtest app seemed to have good speeds. Although the upload speed seemed a little "out". It was up around the 1.7-1.8Mbps mark, when I know my upload speed is capped at 1.0Mbps.
Also, the mini graphs that show the upload and download speeds underneath the main "meter" was showing a weird streaky white block instead of the usual line graph. I wonder if others could test this too and report back.
I can add "slow internet" to the OP issue list if you like?
Can you explain it a little more for clarity?
Cheers.
i cant use any camera app, but stock one works just fine
Ookla Speedtest app gives me 100kbit/s down on a 2mbit/s internet connection.
When I press at the wifi it shows link speed 6Mbps.
Edit: speed ok after changing router
Great idea, I too have some issues I'd like to report but I'm unable due to the 10 posts limitations. Hopefully someone w/ access will bring this link to dzo's attention.
So far, the ones I think weren't reported yet:
No panorama mode in camera;
Gallery app crashes when selecting Edit (random, sometimes the photo editor works, sometimes crashes);
Movie Studio crashes when adding in/out transitions;
Camera app crashes when selecting any "face effect" in video mode;
Some background noise everytime the phone emits sounds - especially noticeable in notifications;
That seems to be it, will add more as I find them.

It hasn't yet appeared on SourceFroge yet, but will testing it as soon as it's up to see if any of these issues have been addressed.
Indeed, dzo is a legend!!
Also, he probably does sleep, it's just that he sleeps when most of the rest of the world is awake... being that he is from New Zealand. ;-)

Nope, unfortunately not for me yet.
SourceForge is being a bit buggy for some people at the moment (including me). Others on the main Aurora thread have said that 1.7 has appeared on SourceForge for them, but for others it hasn't yet.
Waiting... waiting.... ;-)
EDIT: It appeared for me momentarily on SourceForge, but when I went to click to download it said the file was unavailable to download. dzo has just uploaded it to Google Code, so downloading now.
Sourceforge was with a strange behavior, but now seems to be fine.
Try now, I'm sure now you can
1.8 is out.
I actually went back to stock B522 for the moment, as I just found the 1.7 UI too laggy, but I might load 1.8 on now.
OK, installed 1.8 yesterday and I don't know if it is the ROM, or if I did something different to install it, but it appears to be running a lot smoother UI wise.
Sound from the speaker is still terrible though. It sounds to me like it could be a sampling rate incompatibility.

It's really weird because sound is only distorted when played through that back-speaker.
Ringtones are awfull, full of cracks and distortion... and always with hiss background noise.
This is a common problem on all those .35 custom rom's
hey guys,
ive a question about porting, im using a u9000 variant, similar hardware and on the u9000 forum w have devs that successfully port u8800 roms.. my question is, since u8800 roms are portable, may i know what is required for u guys before flashing to aurora ics? ie what kernel were u on before the flash? thanks for the help!

i have 2.3.5 firmware with stock 2.6.35.7 kernel. however i think due to difference in device and the port, it may not be possible.
mine is u9000 with MSM8225 chipset 2.3.5 firmware n .6.35.7 kernel
aurora is built for u8800 with MSM7230 chipset, similar firmware and kernel
however u8860, the source that aurora used, is with MSM8255 chipset, not sure about firmware and kernel.
read somewhere that ports are device specific, so to get it working on u9000, id have to port from aurora, and fix whatever that doesnt work.. correct me if i am wrong.. dev/porters please advise!
thanks!
