The OS used with this tablet supports USB host slave mode .<\/p>\n<p>The first thing you have to do is to download the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myadventvega.co.uk\/\">image <\/a>for the Vega and flash you Mobii. (I&#8217;m using versoin 1.08).<\/p>\n<p>After bootup you will have a MobiiVega-hybrid :-). You will also notice that the Vega OS is a bit faster then the POV version.<\/p>\n<p>The next step is to upload a special ROM addon called the MoDaCo ROM addon. You can download it from <a href=\"http:\/\/android.modaco.com\/content\/advent-vega-vega-modaco-com\/324099\/29-dec-r6-modaco-custom-rom-add-on-performance-pack-for-the-advent-vega-1-06-5-with-online-kitchen\/\">here<\/a>. If you have problems installing the addon on your 1.08 image you can also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fileserve.com\/file\/S2Sf5JU\">download <\/a>the 1.06.05<\/p>\n<p>Upload the addon is a bit more tricky. In the downloaded addon archive you will find an android debugging\u00a0 bridge driver ADB . This driver must be installed for your MobiiVega-hybrid.<\/p>\n<p>I used WIN7 for that process and encountered some problems where the tablet with activated USB debugging was not recognized by the OS.<\/p>\n<p>If you also run into this problem you can fix it like doing the following:<\/p>\n<p>Got to your device manager and open the USB-Controller section. There you will find a<strong> USB-Composite Device<\/strong>. Remove this device with its drivers and trigger a search for new hardware. Now you will get a new device ADB device for which you can install the ADB drivers.<\/p>\n<p>After extracting the downloaded archive execute the install scripts and &#8230; here you go with android market, and a lot of other goodies \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>If you interested in some more details you may also have a look <a href=\"http:\/\/android.modaco.com\/content\/advent-vega-vega-modaco-com\/326486\/advent-vega-roms-software-updates-guides-how-tos\/\">here<\/a>.
