ViewCOMB-3.2-Build-5.1-Home-Screen.jpg


Good day to everyone! :)

This is the most stable ROM that exists for ViewPad 10s. ViewCOMB 3.2 is based on VegaComb 3.2, including all updates. My idea was to adapt VegaComb for ViewPad 10S. I made few cosmetics changes on VegaComb, added some applications, and made some tweaks in kernel. All credits goes to the VegaComb developers. Thanks to Newbe5, Rebel1, Ejtagle, Corvus, Cass67 and all VegaComb developers.

Hi, thanx for this ROM

Is it safe to install it on my Viewpad which is running Vegacomb 8.1 ?
I mean can I do the install as described (pdf) like a original (android 2.2) Viewsonic factory tablet ?
No ModdedStock rom base needed before flashing to ViewComb ?

Thanx for preventing me from doing stupid actions ;) !

Hi!
It doesn't matter which is pre-installed rom. There's no need for modded stock, just follow instructions described in PDF file. :)

Nice custom build ;)
It´s nice to see people are still developing for the tablet since no update has been done for over a month.
Do you know if this version has a bit of improvement on bluetooth?

Thanks :)

    You can try this installation file:

    B6-RC04.exe

    Compiled a new boot img with the new offset values.
    Many people reported that file works properly (no bootloop).

    Don't count on it...
    It says ....COMB....
    Probably just VegaComb with a 'borrowed' ICS theme...

    Anyone else smell a rat from tabletroms forum?

    What is the difference between these two : vegacomb 3.2 and viewcomb 3.2 ?

    You can write but you can't read?
