[ROM] ViewCOMB 3.2 - Honeycomb 3.2 for ViewPad 10s

[Cubbie]

...how do I explore the stick? It doesn't appear in the eFile app...

Look in /mnt/USB/System_USB (or very similar.. don't have the tablet at hand to check)

Hi: Viewcomb working great - just one minor thing can anytyhing be done about the sensitivity of the screen? The calibration in "shuffle tools" doesn't seem to make a differenc - thanks in advance for any tips!

you could try and edit the kernel, and turn down the voltage/capaciter levels, or whatever regulates the touch screen...you have the internet...go find the answer, cause everyone else reports that the screen is fine, sublime control, and no errors, I suggest you educate yourself about modaco, and read, read, read about kernel development for the vegacomb and viewcomb roms, track down the revelent parameters and have a go at changing them, else go back to your stock rom, or wait for ICS, or give up and go buy an ipad......there we go, I think iv got all your options covered......xd

After reading every post in this thread, I updated my Viewpad 10s to Viewcomb 6.3 yesterday. I must say I was very suprised! It made me really happy with this tablet Everything works great, I can download some apps that I was not able to with the original software (like twitter and facebook) and it look way better! I only had a minor issue this morning when I took it out of sleep, it was unable to use the internet, while the WiFi connection was active. I remember reading something similar in this topic, so I will go back and see if I can find it again This morning I just rebooted and everything was fine again

Thanks for all the great work!

here are a few apps out there that allow you to enable the wifi to never go to sleep when the screen switches itself off, I am using Blade Buddy, which is free, download and install, then open, goto basic settings-wifi sleep policy-and choose Never, this will solve the issue of having to reboot to get your wifi back on, however, it will drain your battery more, hope that helps, xd

Hello,

at first, i was happ to found this forum. I am just searching a long time for a 2.3 Rom.

After some problems with the USB drivers, after i have deinstall the unknow device with the option delete driver files i was able to install the usb drivers, the upgrade runs without problems. But after the restart the device ask me for my sim pin, and everytime the systems say insert pin. I have try a 2 sim card, the same problem, the device dont accept my card :-( any idees. Normaly, after 3 worng trys the device should ask for the super pin, but nor my device.

EDIT : i found the how to on page 55

Hi McHaggis

Thanks for your suggestion, but it does not work for me When I take my Viewpad out of sleep, WiFi will indeed be active, at least it tells me it is still connected. But it does not work. The WiFi indicator is grey instead of blue and while it is saying there is a connection with the WiFi network, it will not send nor receive data. When I disable WiFi I can not enable it again, and a reboot is needed to enable it again. I used BladBuddy in combination with Spare Parts, but as you can see it was unsuccessful. BTW I found that the setting for the sleep policy is also easily accessible in the HC WiFi settings

Any other suggestions?

last night, i put my tablet down, it went into sleep mode, when i woke, I grabbed it and it went straight onto facebook, so it seems to work for me mate, sorry that it hasnt worked for you, this is a well known issue with all vega clones using 3.2, as the source code for ICS was released last month, it wont be long before we have it here too, so i suggest that we just wait till ICS is released for the viewpad, xd

Hi,

I too like rykrell have an over sensitive touchscreen and the Calibration screen doesn't help.
If I knew how to edit the Kernal I wouldn't be looking through here though. I'm reporting an issue, like a lot of others on here.

Rob

Hi all,

Count me too... I'm in love with Viewcomb (installed today), but I have the same problem about over sensitive touch screen. Sometimes a letter is repeated or, even worst and I don't know why, a random character added... I barely can press over an icon in the screen and drag it to the bin... generally the app starts or I "lost" the icon in the finger track... ;-)

And obviously I can't touch the kernel... I have a lot of years in IT (mainframes), but I'm absolutely newbie in the Android world...

I tried to calibrate the touchpad without changes...

Any ideas what can I try ?

Any way, GREAT WORK, Viwecomb is amazing and I discovered a new tablet in my hands, Im happy like a child with a new toy...!!!

Kind regards, y saludos desde Buenos Aires !!!
Javier.

Hi Mc,

Mine is 10s WiFi only.... not 3G...

I did the test using Vegacomb (9n "original" and update 3) and has the same problem... I think we have a little different hardware, maybe the panel, maybe the chip for touch...

Even with 2.2 the touch screen is very sensitive... but with 3.2 is terrible....

I found (using a touch test) the screen borders are almost fine, the problem increases when you approach to the inner area of the panel...

I'm going to be depressed if I can't use Viewcomb...!!! Grrrrrrrr....

Regards mate,
Javier.

a lot of peeps with the wifi only model are reporting the same, i think its the panels, the 3g version was released after, so may have had a different job lot of panels, it could be a voltage that needs turned down, i would suggest that you have a look at the kernel, and read up an honeycomb, and maybe change the parameters for the touch response, it isnt as complicated as it sounds, it would just require you to edit the kernel a bit, have a look at modoca.com, and ask if someone can show you how to adjust the kernel, it might take you a few days to learn all this, but it would be worth it in the end, and a lot of 10s wifi users here would be gratefull (if you posted the solution or edited rom here), as I dont own your model, or the dev (legionnaire) here as well, its pretty pointless in us trying, as we cant test it, hopefully you will have success, as all hardware platforms for andriod were thrown together without much thought or user input, some models need serious adjustment, those MID and epad tablets for instance, are just terrible, but with custom roms from dedicated devs, have turned into ok machines, im sorry I couldnt help more mate, we are all learning just the same shiz, xd

I have successfully installed the Viewcomb 3.2 Build 6.3 and it is an AMAZING ROM long live the Legionaire and his/her associates !AWESOME WORK GUYS!
Unfortunately, due to warranty issues I reverted back to the stock ROM, but I'll get back to Viewcomb again! No mistake there!
