Complete Guide: How to Install VegaCream

Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich(ICS) is better than Froyo, Gingerbread, or Honeycomb isn’t it?

Well, you can take it to your tablet now, by installing VegaCream ROM.

This guide is for Advent Vega, PoV Mobii, Zyrex OnePad and other P10AN01 clone tablet user.

There are at least two ways installing this ROM, using nvflash method or ClockwordMod zip update file.

This guide will use the first method.

It took no more than five minutes to flash ROM to the tablet, given the entire ingredient ready.

First, you need to understand, that doing this could:
1. Damage your tablet.
2. Void your tablet warranty, so I have warned you.

What you need?
1. USB male to male cable
2. A PC running windows XP or later.
3. USB driver, get it here. To install it see this post
4. The VegaCream ROM

Flashing step:
1. Turn off your tablet
2. Connect your tablet to the PC using the USB cable
3. Connect your tablet to its charger
4. Put your tablet into nvflash mode: Press back button and hold it, press power button and release both. You should hear a notification sound from the PC speaker.
5. Run the VegaCream*.exe file, wait until the process done, the tablet will reboot itself then power off.
6. Done

You now have VegaCream, enjoy

Installing Windows USB Driver for Advent Vega and Clone

You need to install USB Driver, so your PC recognize the tablet

1.       Extract the SystemUSB.zip
2.       Turn off the tablet.
3.       Connect  the PC and the tablet using USB cable.
4.       Connect the tablet to its charger.
5.       Put the tablet into nvflash mode.

          6.       If successful, you’ll hear a notification sound from your PC.
          7.       Your PC will ask you to install a driver for the new APX device connected.
          8.       Choose to install the driver from specific location.
          9.       Locate the driver in the folder where you extract SystemUSB.zip
          10.   Done

Now you can proceed to any flashing procedure using nvflash program.

To put the tablet into nvflash mode:
You need to connect the tablet to its charger, and press a certain button combo.
A lot of tutorial said press and hold 2 second etc, in my experience, it is not necessary.

The important thing is the right sequence.

1.       Back Button, press and hold,
2.       Power Button, press and,
3.       Release both when you hear notification sound from your PC

VegaBean Progress to Beta 1

This has been a blast!
Scanno just take VegaBean to the next rank, Beta 1.


VegaBean now has a working hardware accelerated video support. No more problem with the portrait orientation as seen on the removed alpha 3 version. But, I am not sure if this has fully worked, because a recent report that, some games using portrait as it's default orientation has a problem running on the ROM. Other than that, BBC player, Youtube HD are working as it should.

Other peripheral that work are bluetooth and camera. 3G were said not working, but a member found that 3G is now working on internal 3G. There is a good chance  that GPS are working too.

Toggling the GPS off now would not bring the tablet to reboot, ejtagle has fix that. If the GPS working now we have one more major problem, the HDMI audio, but I am sure it would not stand time againts scanno, ejtagle, brucelee666 and the team.

You must give it a try, here is the link to the post
