Have a question for you, what happens if you decide to use the latest tiamat kernel like flashing the 1.4.4 OC+GPU, wouldn't the boot image work in that scenario since it was made for the same kernel version?
[Xoom Android Development] Almighty1:
Are you talking about Superuser app or su the binary?

The problem is the su installed by SuperUser app is not compatible with the Xoom. All you have to do is do a terminal session or use adb with the "adb shell" command which will get you to:

$

type "su" and hit the enter key and it should give you back:

#

If it doesn't, and you get the following:

reloc_library[1315]: 2756 cannot locate '_mktemp'...

CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE

The 1315 and 2756 might not be the exact numbers since I didn't note down the exact numbers before I looked up how to root a Android device when one has lost root.

See post #340 in the following thread for the fix:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1117004

This is the previous version of the su binary that was modified to work on the XOOM which is version 2.3.1-ef, hopefully there will be a modified version of 2.3.1-efg available soon.

I am running the Tiamat Rom 1.0 with the 3G fix and charging light zip flashed on a WiFi Xoom. Although I like it and am looking forward to further developments, I am having one issue that I haven't been able to resolve. That being that I can no longer get the Xoom to recognize my camera when I plug it into the OTG cable. The Xoom will recognize a usb memory stick without any problem, but not the camera or a self-powered hard drive formatted with fat32. (I had never tried the hard drive until I discovered the camera was not working so may be missing something in my attempts.) I am assuming the problem is that the Xoom is not recognizing the mount as when I run the Busybox 1.19 command, sda appears when the usb memory is inserted but not with the camera or the hard drive plugged in via the OTG. Also, the latest version (6/13) of the Usb Mass Storage Watcher OTG shows the presence of the usb memory card (although with 0MB) but will not recognize the other devices.

Prior to flashing this Rom, I was running Tiamat 1.4.4 which I had gone to via the OTA upgrade to HC3.1. Prior to flashing Tiamat Rom 1.0, I did a internal factory reset, then flashed brd's update the HC3.1 for WiFi and 3G. I then rebooted prior to flashing the Tiamat Rom 1.0 with ClockworkMod Recovery 3.2.0.0.

I know there have been some issues expressed on this forum with connecting a hard drive but have not spotted anyone having an issue with the camera connection. Does anyone have any ideas on what I have done incorrectly or what I might try?

Thanks!
[Xoom Android Development] REHolt218:
I just tested my camera (I had not thought to test it before) and it will connect, but only using Gallery. My Flash drive and USB HDD both connect just fine now. It would be great if I could connect to my camera as it were a flash drive. That would make it easier to copy and move pictures while on travel.

Well, I finally got to ROM 1.0 yesterday but I am not sure that I didn't 'frog' something on my way (had a couple of problems, some stupid user).

1. Where should I be able to see the removable MicroSD card (used in cwm)? If I go into Recovery Mode and Mount USB Storage, I will get a Windows Explorer popup to this drive but it goes away as soon as I leave the Mounts section. Have I managed to delete or not create some folder that is needed? In 'normal' operation, I see the Xoom device in Windows Explorer but it seems to show only the folders in the User Area within the device. When I mount USB storage in cwm 3.2.0.0, then I no longer see the Xoom device in explorer, just the Micro SD card (removable). It seems from the comments here that it should be working differently.

2. Earlier this AM, adb devices was not showing any device when the Xoom was attached to the USB port. Double checked Moto device drivers but then had to leave to take gf to the doctor. Got back this afternoon and it was working again. Strange.

3. After getting ROM 1.0 working, it appears that I have some 'phone' options in settings. Is this normal? Not causing any problems that I know of but I was surprised.

#2 is just odd. Can anyone give me some guidance on #1 & #3. Maybe I just don't understand as I am a bit new to the Xoom kernals (Xoom WiFi that came from 3.1 OTA last week)

Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure. I use Dolphin Browser anyway, which is far better than stock IMO. But play with it and report back.
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Well, it looks like we got some issues with OTG and USB mounting in general. Please understand, it is not an issue of me changing anything. Its an issue of me breaking things in an effort to build a complete rom. I would bet it is tied to a bad permission on a bin. Here's the thing. I've read alot of folks having issues, but I haven't seen too many logcats. If you describe / observe / complain about an issue, you need to include a logcat. Otherwise, well, its likely the issue won't be addressed.
[Xoom Android Development] solarnz:
If you could please take the time to log it as an issue here : https://github.com/solarnz/Tiamat_Xoom_Rom/issues that would be great. Yes it does require you to have a github account, but it allows me and the rest of the team to track what issues people are having with the rom easier than having a post in this thread. (However, by all means post it in the thread as well)
[Xoom Android Development] davidsos:
I couldn't find ntfs-3g, parted and umount_force any where on the system, so I dug them up on my own and put them in /system/xbin. Once there I was able to mount and unmount ntfs usb drives from a shell promp. I also installed the latest version of "Drive Mount" from the MarketPlace which worked for usb NTFS drives. My FAT usb thumbdrives automounted to /mnt/usbOTG and the link at /usbOTG. I'm not sure if I made an entry into vold.fstab or it came properly setup with the ROM. I haven't figured out how to make the proper entries into vold.fstab for the ntfs usb drive to automount, any ideas on the proper device to use?

Well, I tried this rom on my US Wifi-only xoom and ended up in a bootloop, restored my nand backup which wouldn't boot...had to restore to stock using fastboot, but really want a deodexed system and want to use this rom...any suggestions for the second go round?

EDIT: As soon as I got back to 3.1 and rooted, I did a factory reset, rebooted straight to recovery, made a new nand backup, and reflashed...I'm happy to say that it booted right up! Thanks guys! Can't wait to see this rom in action.

EDIT #2: Spoke too soon. got a series of bootloops...ran ddms and I get an error that states Heapsize overflow! 105....required 104.....available....I attached the log in hopes of someone being able to uncripple my xoom.
[Xoom Android Development] Almighty1:

brd and solarnz, I just want you to know that I don't have any trouble with these issues or this rom. I don't know why it's working great for some and not so great for others.

Thanks for all of your attention...Team Tiamat is awesome.

Anyone noticing horrible battery life? I looked into it, my cpu usage is always 50%or higher, I checked in Astro process manager for what is using the cpu so much and it looks like it's the WiFi driver, brcm_guci_drv. I'm running this rom with the 1.4.4 1.7ghz kernel, clocked no higher than 1.2ghz. This spike in cpu usage is keeping the mhz up despite using the conservative governor. Anyone else?

Even when I disable wifi usage stays up. Maybe it's not the WiFi module but it's broadcom something.
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
At first it seemed like the battery was draining faster, but after several days (I reboot every once in a while to kinda of refresh it) it seems to have settled down. I'm running at what seems to be my sweet spot --1.504ghz--and on interactive, with a couple of profiles set. I just checked System Process Manager and my cpu was running between 3-25% at most, so I'm not seeing the same issue you are seeing.
[Xoom Android Development] Elysian893:
I've been running this rom since it first launched.
[Xoom Android Development] Elysian893:
Did some more Googling, could that be the GPS driver?

Well, disabling all location services didn't fix the issue...
[Xoom Android Development] Elysian893:
I've also tried another Xoom rom, the other one based on Tiamat rom, same exact problem...
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
I've had ping and latency issues as well. It may have something to do with adhoc patch. But my battery life has been solid.
[Xoom Android Development] Elysian893:
Well for whatever reason this process is taking up 50% cpu at all times... I can't find much about it via Google though...

[Xoom Android Development] Turkawa:
i tried really hard to make this rom work at the beginning..

i had all kinds of bootloops and crashes etc..

I must have read every single post at this thread and posted one or two "help" messages myself. All user mistakes :)

Now it is up and working flawlessly.

I have HMJ35 wifi only xoom with 3.1, tiamat 1.0 rom

Lights are on:)

Adhoc patched and SD working fine.

I dont have any kind of network latency problem yet.

Using my wireless connection at home.

I have an iphone 3gs with 4.3.2 JB and Xoom side by side with

same distance to my modem.

I use OOKLA Speed Test and test the connection 5 times for each test

iphone's ping is somewhere around 90

Xoom was around 150ish.

Then i restarted both xoom and iphone

Iphone is still 90ish

But now xoom is 45 five times in a row(i wonder how!!).

I am happy with it..

I wrote all this for saying it might not be the adhoc patch..

hope this helps
[Xoom Android Development] solarnz:
Yes the fix is good for all of the xooms however it does contain a framework-res.apk that doesn't contain all of the features that the one that comes with the rom has.

overclocking

Please forgive me if I am posting in the wrong section but flashing went great on the first try. I just wish to know how to overclock the processor without ruining the rom that I just flashed. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate greatly! Great work on the rom. I will be donating on Friday for all the great work!:p
[Xoom Android Development] Turkawa:
You need to install a cpu control app.

Look for setcpu or nofrill cpu control.

Dont worry you wont ruin you rom. Just dont set you cpu to boot without trying stability first.

-=> xoom have spoken <=-
[Xoom Android Development] colanuttz:
Thanks for the information. I have installed setcpu and it will only give me up to 1000mhz. I wanted to overclock to 1.5ghz or so. What is involved in getting the higher frequencies?

Usb debugging needs to be enabled by default in this rom to help us themers out please :-)
[Xoom Android Development] davidsos:
You should be able to overclock with this ROM, " Packed with Tiamat 1.4.4 stock GPU. Flash OC'd gpu version is you wish" is part of the ROM's description. That means that the kernel that comes with the ROM has the cpu overclockable to 1.7 Ghz but the gpu (graphics processor is not overclocked). If you're using the setCPU (application) to adjust it you may not have configured it properly. I believe that the first time you run it you are asked to make some sort of choice about the CPU which if I remember should be to let it figure out what to do. You can probably force close it and clear its data from manage applications in the settings panel and start over. Don't check the option for set on boot until you have found the frequency you picked to be a stable choice. One of the panels in setCPU has a stress test which you can run for a few minutes and stop by using the back soft key or tapping on the screen. If it's locked up go to the next lower frequency, after you reboot. I'd also make sure that it survives running quadrant.

If you want to overclock the gpu, you'll have to flash that kernel over this ROM. You should get what you have to work first, IMO.
[Xoom Android Development] REHolt218:
I have had some problems with installing the latest busybox from the Market. It causes my Xoomto crash and then it will not reboot. It gets hung at the Dual Core screen. I was forced to restore the system partition and then reflash the Tiamat ROM 1.0.

I understand the Tiamat ROM has a version of busybox preinstalled, or at least a partial version. Could this cause a problem with the newer version of busybox?
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
What version number is causing the problem, and is it only on reboot? I took dynomite's earlier advice to update busybox but root checker shows a different version of busybox is installed, not the newest. Should I just go ahead and reflash the tiamat rom, just to be safe? I hope one of the devs could get on this issue and advise. Til then,I will try not to reboot.

This is nerve-wracking.
[Xoom Android Development] solarnz:
Don't flash another busybox over the top at the moment.

It will cause issues booting.

This is because the newer busybox versions don't include run-parts, which is needed in our implementation of init.d.

Edit: okantomi, as you've already flashed another busybox and you aren't having any issues, it is safe to stay on that version of busybox. (i.e no need to re-flash the rom) - I see that you havent actually rebooted yet.

If you run "run-parts" in a terminal and you get an error, you need to flash a different busybox version before you reboot.

Easy on me, noob to Rooting and Flashing

I have had a Xoom Verizon 3G since day one and used to Flash my Windows Mobile phones back in the day, but I dont know anything about Rooting Android. I am running the Stock Rom version 3.1. I have a HTC Touch Pro 2 that I flashed and use WiFIRouter when I am out of my office or house to connect my Macbook and iPad. The only flaw with the Xoom is that I couldnt connect to WifiRouter as it was an ADHOC network. I have been waiting patiently for a fix to this, so I can sell off my iPad and use the the Xoom. I am paying Verizon $25 a month for 1GB of bandwidth which is crazy! I would appreciate some help for a noob to Flashing Android. Do I need to Root it first or just download this Rom to a MicroSD card and put it in the Xoom? I didnt think the Xoom could read MicroSD yet. Any help or direction to help would be very much appreciated. I have bricked a Windows Mobile phone before, so I am timid to Flash or Root since. Thanks!
[Xoom Android Development] MidwestDrummer:
Any idea why my Xoom wouldn't detect my MicrSD card after installing this ROM? I'm rooted and unlocked obviously. I tried reformatting my card in Windows &, with no luck. Then I tried reformatting it with SDFormatter (http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/), but that didn't work either. I'm using Root Explorer, but when I go to "/sdcard" there's no "external" folder in there. I'm kind of at a loss here.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

[Xoom Android Development] rschenck:
I assume your External SD card is accessible via Recovery, yes?

Using Root Explorer, create a folder called /external in your SD Card Directory and then reboot the Xoom. When you go back to Root Explorer the folder you created should be your external SD card.

Forgive my ignorance. When you ask if it's accessible through recovery, what exactly do you mean?

[Xoom Android Development] kymikes:
I am having this same problem. I have a folder /sdcard/external (which shows as empty thru Root Explorer), I am on ROM 1.0, I have cwm 3.2.0.0 and can see the external SD from recovery and can see it from PC when I mount USB storage from cwm. I can also see it if I mount from USB Mass Storage Tool (although mostly intended for OTG connections). I had the same symptom when I was on Tiamat 1.4.4 before flashing to ROM 1.0. What am I missing? TIA for any guidance.
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
I don't know if this is your issue, but if I swap SDcards (I use one just to flash from and for my backup, etc., and another for my music and other stuff) I have to reboot for the contents of the card to show up in mnt/sdcard/external. I don't need to use any mounting app.
[Xoom Android Development] cam30era:
Have you tried formatting your SD card in an android phone?
[Xoom Android Development] bilago:

I do believe you need to flash one of the first kernels ( i forget the version) to get proper SD support
[Xoom Android Development] Turkawa:
Well. Not a dev here(Duh!!)

But i can say that i upgraded to 3.2.0.0 and its working fine..

Most important benefit for me is, when backing up its skipping the /sdcard folder so i dont have to move every music photo and movie to pc..

But that's me..

Note: After i upgraded CWM to 3.2.0.0 , From rom manager it still shows the current version as 3.0.2.8 but when you boot into cwm, the correct version loads..
