I am about to get a Vega (now £200 in the UK). Can anyone tell me what I should do after I unbox it?
Is it really that bad out of the box?
Are there customisations you can do with the stock ROM or is burning a new ROM really essential?
Thanks in advance.
in one word "YES" , it is really that bad out of the box.
A full rom is not required to get the basics out of your vega. You can try my rom add-on (available in the development section) which just adds the basics like market etc. It is very easy to install. Then ditch the awful launcher by installing launcher pro or alike. Then button savior for me is a must, by adding the missing home button as a on screen button.
Adding things like kernels is great if you need the extra features, such as usb switching.
There are a few choices of full rom, the most popular at the moment appears to be from corvus, who is doing great work on are vegas.
Hopefully honeycomb will be with us soon, when this happens a rom flash will be a must
Edit: I notice you have purchased the £200 vega that has v1.08 firmware, i would recommend updating to v1.09. It adds flash as well as full screen notifications and also includes updated graphic drivers. Which improve the "artifact" problem

I agree with ganjaman, ive just spent the last few weeks trying things with my vega.
I would suggest reading the modaco and xda forums thoroughly Before trying to flash anything. Learn from the devs. Rooting, and nandroid backups is a good place to start.
Good luck!
honestly its bad out the box.
But custom roms are great on it and brings it to life
i think the modoco rom is the best atm although cm7 is on the ways and looking very promising
+1 , yep bad out of the box.
I think the first thing most people would do is to load this on. From there you have the Market and if you want to do more then you also can root and run up Rom Manager.
Also good if you know how to use nvflash just in case.
I've had my Vega for a week now, so I thought I would answer my own questions.

Nothing. Have a play. You can use it for surfing, Facebook, Twitter and Youtube. Don't begin by doing anything drastic liking burning a new ROM. At least not right away. And using the supplied device, at least for a while, will let you know what you are leaving behind if you do decide to upgrade.
Is it really that bad out of the box?
No. It's fine out of the box. That's why Advent sells it this way. You can do most things anyone would want to do, without installing anything extra.
Are there customisations you can do with the stock ROM or is burning a new ROM really essential?
Yes, you can do a few simple things to improve the supplied device. You can install Android apps on the device -- if you can get a hold on the APK file (essentially, the program file). The device comes with a file manager so it's simply a case of find the APK (Google is your friend), downloading it, and running the file using the file manager. The app will then install. You can do this without installing anything extra to the device.
The next stage in upgrading the device is to install the full Android Market, which you can do without upgrading the ROM. That will give you full access to all of the Android apps. The supplied device with Market added is a pretty attractive package if you are reluctant to go further.
The best upgrade is to replace the original ("stock") ROM with a new ("custom") ROM. This will give you many extra features (including the full Market experience) and is very worthwhile. But you don't have to do it.
The final upgrade is to burn a custom ROM and customise the device like crazy using a launcher. These are available on the Market and can transform the whole look of the device. I replaced my stock ROM with the Modaco custom ROM and installed Launcher Pro -- and my Vega looks fantastic.
I agree with original poster, it works quite fine out of the box, and works even better if it has pov firmware, as it has a smaller statusbar and 1.10 seems abit faster and smoother.
But then ofc we all get tired of stock firmwares and start modding
hello all.
Yup couldnt agree more with above posts.
Well...... I do think it is a bit poo oob, but is useable. Its just not very slick or fun oob.
Once you add a launcher of choice it starts to get more fun.

Edit: oob stands forr out of the box.
Ps i like the mirror symetry of "poo oob". Not planned, but pleases me.
Good Evening from the uk
earlier on today a bunch of devs managed to actually root this tablet using a modified version of gingerbreak
below is the walkthrough of how to root this device
1. make sure usb debugging is turned on and unknown sources is selected
2. have a micro sd card inserted and turn the tablet on portrait and lock it with the switch to fix it in portrait
3. download and execute the attached apk. (i had to download from my comp and transfer to the tablet for it to work)
4. once the apk is installed run the root procedure within the app which was installed
5. wait and you will receive full root access
Edit to add original dev and thread
A BIG BIG thank you to monki-magic who provided the modified apk and the original thread is

Fantastic job! I got my Iconia A500 rooted.
I could run the file without having to transfer from PC.
hmm it gave me a pharse error when i downloaded it straight to the tab
Beautiful!
Easy, easy, easy!
Thanks to the devs for making this happen so soon.
Loving my Acer A500 even more.
(Eee transformer? *yawn*)
Anyone working on building a cifs.ko? I'd love to be able to use cifsmanager to mount Windows drives and access them from any Android application (comic reader, movie player, etc.)??
Wow that's fast. I will try this tonight.
Many thnx for this.

Good luck with that, and the IPS on the transformer is not that great, kind of choppy for games. People are expecting an iPad2 style ips and it is NOT. The refresh rate is too low, the color is just a tad crisper then the Acer. Barely noticeable to the eye. Friend got his and sold it on ebay for the Acer, the USB was more important then the ips, and ips is great for graphic designers but gamers, not so much. Why do you think in every review people complained about choppy video... It because it is a cheap ips with a cheap refresh rate. Hence the price. Just my $0.02. Glad the Iconia got some love with their own section. It will be about June before you get one.
Thank you very much the root work perfectly , really appreciate your sharing.
Thanks....I´m going to try later and let you know how it worked!!!!
Let´s make this tablet work better!!!!
(waiting for Honeycomb update....)
donated $5 (more than i've spent on any app), thanks!
and... rooted! much easier than my desire... awesome job guys!
thank you very much!
freaking awesome!
so simple to root. downloaded from the tab and installed from it. no pc needed! awesome. installing rom manager now but no clockworkmod for this yet... only 1 acer device is listed... any brave people willing to try it?.. jejeje
Is that it?
Really?
Those five steps.
No preparation, nothing else needed.
Just turn on my device, follow those five steps and it's done.
Why do I feel like there's something I am missing here?
If it's five steps to root then I am dead impressed!
I find that the device has lost much tablet functionality. The screen does not auto rotate and stays in landscape, there is no owner information tab to display on lock screen, Amazon apps and instant video will not sync. The device will not cast a screen anymore to a roku3. In general the 5.02 Android version 1.5 was a much better tablet user experience at least for me. I almost wish for a way to downgrade back 'til this is sorted! I had hoped Jide would not grow so fast that they dropped their focus of great software on adequate hardware. They now seem to have lost their way. I had supported as a kickstarter for ultra and mini with the thinking that they can help the developing world with that proposition......now chasing Intel x86 at the failing of the kick starter supported user experience. Quite a few titles from the Google play store do not run any longer on Remix OS 2.0. At least the GPS, camera, keyboard, Bluetooth, still seem to work. I had hoped this hardware and Jide would end the constant "testing" concept as it seems like working on custom ROMs again! My Pipo M6 pro is still pretty darn useful on custom ROMs! I hope Jide regains their focus! Great UI, good enough hardware!

Can't install google calendar , amazon instant video, and their app store, won't sync. The screen rotation seems to be a result of the launcher file manager experimental feature.....it seems to disable rotation for some reason.

do you have remix 2.0 on your Remix Ultra Tablet? How is the Ultra Tablet Working on 2.0, are any apps problematic , features not working? I am using a Remix Ultra Tablet on 2.0 Remix pre release version. I see a few bugs since updating from 1.5
Am I in the wrong forum?
Sent from my REMIX SK1WG using Tapatalk
For me, on my laptop, I don't see bug. I have remis os 2.0 on USB, and I boot from this USB. I play swordigo and other game, my laptop is digital. It's very big advantage on remix os. I don't see any problem. it lacks the root and the battery indicator.

I think the Jide folks just stayed in vegas and never went home. I ordered a Ultra Tablet a week ago and haven't heard anything. I noticed they did increase the price $50 since I've ordered it.

Glad I found this Forum on XDA, because the JIDE forum is a hot mess and pretty much useless. The old forum was much better over there.
Anyway, I digress; I haven't "updated" to the 2.0 yet on my ultra-tablet because right now, I have ROOT on my device and I'm pretty sure there is no way to ROOT the new 2.0 OS yet. Am I correct in assuming so?

Maybe a general Jide ***** forum thread should be developed?
I started this thread, because like you I lurked for awhile over there and it is just kumbaya crapola. I haven't rooted the ultra tablet because it is just o.k. hardware platform. More interested in their more with less proposition if attainable. The mini makes a great developing world pc to get past a phone...
I think it smart to be working with XDA and X86 as the more crappy old PC's that can be !made useful the better. It's amazing the folks wanting to make these their entire command center for a home theater. Maybe they should write code and get a PI of whatever flavor they want!
Anyway, I was hoping to hear from other Remixers who've put 2.0 on thier Ultra, and what issues they have had. I do not see Jide responding to any issues anywhere....just kumbaya.
I think they were hoping to be bought up before they actually need to run a business! Perhaps just another piece of Android technology from the CH. Ina corp that is build it and move on.
I thought their concept of more with less was good for the developing world as opposed to less with more ala Apple and MS. Frankly I've been pretty happy with Nexus devices and cheap hardware on custom roms.(also a more with less proposition) My Pipo M6 pro on custom roms with a Logitech keyboard does everything this can all be it slower.
We'll see if Jide delivers, or fades....I am sure they are in over the heads, the fact that people want to root or custom to! Tells you their software solution may not be needed. Their hardware does not warrant development more than Android sticks do.
They claim to be making themselves a software outfit, but the Nexus 9, Cube and other devices have not seen any love lately.
Time will tell. Back to 2.0 update issues for the remix ultra...

I'm running the new 2.0 update and have root. You just need to boot into the CWM recovery (or flash it) that was posted in the old Jide forums, then flash the latest SuperSU zip from Chainfire. I haven't tested swapping out the stock launcher yet, as I'm really digging the new features, like desktop mode. AdAway worked perfectly, so I can confirm that root is working for at least some aspects.

Did Google calendar install and is usable? Mine can't write to drive, installed but says calendar storage is not turned on in system? Also their stupid feedback link on the shut down screen does not work since no feed back app in drawer. Did your upgrade install one that works? For whatever reason Amazon app store won't sync apps....do you use any Amazon stuff? Is it good? Trying to decide if I should blow it away and re upgrade if mine did not get all it should...seems to be at least stable and most of the hardware does seem to function correctly outside of my display seems to ghost quite terrible after the upgrade! Also Google photos seems unable to see device folders and g+ loads an app that still puts a photos app into your device....real odd!

Google Calendar fails to load on mine for the same reason. My install didn't include a feedback agent (and I think that's common across everyone's builds). I haven't tried the Amazon apps yet, so I can't comment on their usability. I will say that my display was ghosting hardcore even before the upgrade, so the 2.0 upgrade didn't affect that one way or the other. I just tried the Google Photos app and it sees my wallpaper folders in the /SDCARD partition OK, so I'm not sure what's happening on your device for it not to see them.

I can't believe the old CWM v6.0.5.1 still works on the new update and more importantly, no one has figured out how to get TWRP or a "newer" version of CWM working? I guess, if it ain't broke, don't fix it?
Thanks for the information. Will upgrading to "2.0" wipe the userdata? I don't care about re-installing apps, etc... just worried about all my media content on the device currently.
I used Kingroot as on device root. Is working so far, but can't use SuperSU. Need to stick with kingroot...

So I tried this with my ultratablet, just wanted to boot to recovery first to make sure it works. Doing a "fastboot boot recovery.img" I get the remix logo but it doesn't ever boot into cwm it just locks up. Anything special I need to do before?
Just stumbled upon this, but it seems kinda sketchy referring to @Quallenauge (who's listed as inactive - sorry if you aren't ) and XDA, but having no thread about it here on XDA...

You can try this version, but make sure you perform the migration script (official -> unofficial) if needed.

Hi
I've been watching these forums like a hawk trying to get my tablet to run smooth considering the bad software from Lenovo.
Would you say it's working well with this version?
If the battery life is good and the bugs aren't too many , I wanna try it!
My now Lineage 16 is working alright, the tablet is fast but the battery is not as good as stock sadly.
Is is good enough for a daily driver?

Have been experiencing some lock up after long idle time. I mostly use my Yoga to watch movies and use MX Player. A few times would find launcher unresposive when come back from work and the only recovery is to power cycle. I do get restart option on long press of power button, but when choose to restart tablet does not come back on its own.
As for the battery, I've decided to attempt rebuilding it using new individual cells. Will post my results if I succeed or not.
Once/if battery issue is resolved, I probably will roll back to Lineage 16 and wait for a stable 17 release.
Just installed, working well
Thanks very much to the dev for continuing to release builds for this device. Just upgraded from OS16 today. Install worked really well with no issues. So far it's running nicely. New gesture navigation system is working in Trebuchet launcher, so now my phone and tablet are the same, it was annoying before having different interfaces on different devices. Excellent work, thanks a lot!
The last update was 10.08.2020, do we see a new one?
It looks like as we get no more updates, so I will go back to 16.
Sorry
surprise, surprise. Just after I went back to 16 a new 17.1 update arrived, dated 17.09.2020. I did a dirty install and it worked out.
Thanks
However, I am still wondering if it is worth switching from 16 to 17
If you are happy with Android 9 , keep it. If you are willing to have Android 10 than go for it. What new, I have no idea.

Good afternoon,
I have some rooted HD 8's and HD 10's *Both using Lineage OS.
Is there a pretty decent guide on exactly what to download to get play store working?
I have some tablets I'd like to give to my parents after working this out.
Thank you in advance.
Its a late Mothers day gift and recent Fathers day gift.
@likwidchz I have strong doubts that playstore (Gapps) is working on anything else then on android.
I've flashed Ubuntu on a Fairphone and Playstore didn't work there.
So imho you gotta flash LineageOS to use it.

As I don't have your device you gotta check first if it's 32 or 64bit.
Then choose the appropriate file from here.
I usually take pico.
Thank you, after going back and forth a tad with it, I realized just that. I'll use pico as I think thats the only thing they will need.
Thank you again!

Allow me to lead your attention to the app Netguard-no-root by @M66B.
As I understood you want to give the tabs to your parents.
With that app you're able to block internet access for each app (even system apps) separately and these apps don't even notice that.
I've bought protocolling (useful for beginners when setting up) but it works free as well.
All games I use are blocked and half of the other apps as well.
I kind of realize now either one of two things.
The lineage OS latest june release uses lots of battery when powered off and just sitting.
or these tablets battery life I bought on ebay is just old.
How long should these things be able to sit on a desk and be off?

Imo there is no general answer to that.
I experienced that even the same LOS number behaves not the same on different devices. I think that the kernel chosen by the dev is the culprit.
As an example: one tablet on LOS18.1 can be off for days consuming nothing while one phone on same LOS uses around 10%/d even when off as well.
okay well crap, I guess thinking out loud, I wonder if it makes sense to put the stock amazon distro on it if there is one available to flash with twrp. That might be a bit less weird for them.
I just know if the battery dies, phone calls will be happening lol.
