Synopsis
========

This is the first Beta build of ICS for the vega and other tabs like it.
This should now be feature complete and deserving of an upgrade from Alpha status.
This is very stable and nice to work in from my point of view, nothing i can see
as major that will prevent you having a nice experience.

Work is based on Android 4.0.3


Features
========

Touchscreen
HW acceleration
SD card
USB host
Bluetooth
A2DP (fixed??)
Wifi
3G (fixed???) (logcat -b radio) (dmesg) logs to pastebin.com if not
Sound 48khz
HDMI Sound/Video 720p
Sensors
Sleep
HQ video (YouTube, Netflix, etc)
Camera (resumes from sleep, no workarounds)
Mic
120 DPI Launcher fixed
CWM recovery with no stale boot
Advanced Power Menu (some of it anyway see not working for details )
Add the shuttle tools apk for usb host
GPS libs added
Calendar / Gallery Gapps
Dictionary added
Remove G-earth / GMaps (you can download them)
Add a file manager
Recovery reboot app
tun.ko added for VPN
Apps2SD Fixed
Latest Gapps 120dpi supported
Browser settings modified showing settings advanced -> uagent


In Progress
===========
Sleep problem relating to WiFi

3G, let us know if it works, if not provide logcat and dmesg. Should
work fine for data, voice and sms will require an Android recompile to
add those features, no time to do right now, will do later once 3G is
confirmed to work, i dont have it so cant test.

Slow sound in Skype, 48khz sound should fix it .. feedback required ..

Power menu options need fixed / removed


Strangeness
===========

Wifi should work fine now, a new library and framework has been created
to enable Wifi to work properly .. However .. Wifi is slow to resume from
sleep.. you may have to toggle Wifi off/on to have it resume .. If you wait
it returns no problems.. its just a bit slow.


Not working
===========

Advanced Power menu on shutdown has some options that dont work

Reboot to recovery
Reboot to bootloader
Aeroplane mode (does not come out of it as i seen)

Ill get to fixing / removing these at a later date


Installing
==========

This Beta build is in NVflash format only, i could not be bothered yet
to create a CWM update file yet as its still to early for me to care
for that.. Just execute this in the normal fashion from windows.
Or extract it and do from linux for all you penguin lovers out there..


Recommendations
===============

Backup current files / data as this image will wipe it all


Devs

The community for all the feedback and testing
Anyone else i spoke to i missed here (Sorry and a BIG THANK YOU)


Features
=======

Most of the large dirs in /system are now squashfs files, this is to save on space.
You need to use squashfs with gzip support if you are to play with them. Kernel must
also have squashfs support included.

The dir that contains WiFi firmware and kernel module has been relocated to /system/etc/misc/
this is to ensure of the minimum file size of any update we make to the kernel and provide to you.. It makes not difference as its linked back to its proper place.

tun.ko for vpn can be found in /system/etc/misc/ too, linked back to the proper place.

For all other libs you need to add, add them to /system/vendor/lib, they will be picked up.

Enjoy !!! Feedback welcome !!!

Nice to see that work is underway. It seems like the team have a lot to fit into a small space. I have faith that the team can do it, based on what has been done in the past, and the miracles that have been performed bringing Gingerbread and Honeycomb to our wonderful tablet.
