Better Movie Play in VegaBean

This review based on my personal experience using the latest MX player with hw encoding enabled in Vegabean Beta6.

HD 720p play nicely
HD 1080p play nicely

compared to my experience with earlier custom ROM like honeyice, VegaICS, or Vegacream.

But, maybe it's the player, not the ROM. I don't have time to test this player againts the older ROM. What matter is the movie play nicely now.

Enabling USB host mode at boot in Vegabean

Vegabean last release was Beta6. I am using it right now, it's a nice ROM although a bit slower than Vegacream.
Some people still have problem with their touchscreen when installing whatever custom ROM, including this one. When faced with this, mouse or keyboard from usb port could come handy, but the default mode for usb in this build is "peripheral", which means: no mouse, or keyboard will be recognized at the usb port.

Enabling usb host mode is easy using shuttle tool, but frustrating when you don't have your touchscreen work. So, maybe it's better to set it to host mode by default.

In Vegacream beta 2.1 you can use this approach I post earlier, but in vegabean you cannot. You'll need to remount your /system read+write enabled in order to do that, so:

1. Open Terminal Emulator
2. Enter the following:

xx@anroid:/$ su xx@anroid:/$ mount -o remount,rw /system xx@anroid:/$ echo "echo 1 > /sys/usbbus/host_mode" >> /etc/vega_postboot.sh xx@anroid:/$ mount -o remount,ro /system xx@anroid:/$ exit xx@anroid:/$ exit

reboot your tablet with the host mode enabled by default.

Any problem, please comment away!
