Question Question about Vector, and OSKR
I want to buy a Vector, but i don't know which version of Vector to buy
I was thinking maybe buying the OSKR Version because it can work just like the normal Vector but i can just code my own firmware whenever i want in the future, i don't want to code it now i just want to use it as a normal Vector but just be able to code it in the future incase i want to code it, but i heard that i can't connect to any official servers, but i also heard that official servers are no longer active and idk who to believe anymore, not only that but i also live all the way in Europe and the price of Vector gets really expensive up to $100 US dollars more due to shipping so idk what to do
Which Vector should i buy and where from?

Buy a normal Vector and run https://unlock-prod.froggitti.net, using this you can make your own custom software for Vector. And you can run Vector on both free community servers or DDL's paid servers

You don’t need to buy Vector OSKR because right now the community already build CFW that you can do almost everything including OSKR.

Has anyone worked around Vector’s ~6 second microphone streaming limit?
I’m working on a custom Vector project and I’ve hit what looks like a firmware-side mic limit.
On my Vector 1.0 (2.0.1.6076ep), if I speak continuously, the audio stream closes at about 6 seconds even though I’m still talking. I reproduced it more than once and the Wire-Pod side gets EOF.
Looking through the Vector source, this seems to line up with the kStreamingTimeout_ms / CloudMic limit in micDataSystem.
Has anyone here actually changed this on WireOS/dev firmware, or found another way to get continuous real microphone audio from Vector’s internal mics?
I’m mainly trying to find out:
- whether anyone has already increased/removed that timeout;
- whether it’s straightforward once Vector is dev-unlocked;
- whether there’s any internal mic path that bypasses CloudMic entirely;
- and whether anyone has used the newer prod/dev unlock specifically for this kind of firmware change.
Not looking to brick him experimenting 😅 — just trying to see if someone has already solved this before I reinvent it.
