Anyone out there have any issues where the Xoom wouldn't turn on with the power button?

I allowed mine to go completely dead last night, so the "battery left" widget would have better accuracy, and I plugged it in before going to bed (and actually booted it up while it was plugged in - so I know it was OK at that time).

It charged overnight, and I saw the green light on it this morning. Spent the day out and about - left the Xoom plugged in during this time, and then I unplugged it and put it on my couch for about a half hour. This whole time I could see the notification light pulsing, so it wasn't completely frozen, but when I finally got around to hitting the power button to turn it on I got nothing.

Had to do the Volume up - Power to reboot it, and then all was fine.

I actually did some flashing last night. I flashed the latest ROM over top of what I had running to get the new file manager, and then flashed the update to get the big battery icons.

Should I have wiped before that flash? I had previously been running with just the battery update icons update (and native screenshots).

My impression was that the new file manager wasn't part of the smaller update flash. Or has it since been added?

Thanks!

Actually its not really a bug if its the default setting. Honesty I can't tell the difference thats why I left it default. It's really a personal preference type of thing. No matter how I set it someone is unhappy.
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
You are correct the file manager was not part of the smaller updates. Flashing any of the updates will clear the caches.

Where is the wallpaper stored in the ROM file?

Zone:

Is there a particular place in the ROM .zip file where the "default" wallpapers are stored?

When you added the Tiamat logo wallpaper, it seems that you removed the wallpaper that I was using before. I am trying to see if I can go back to the older ROM zip file and extract the one I was using and place it in your latest version (as my own customized ROM - along with a few more apps in the first install section).

Are these buried in a file within the Zip file?

Thanks again for all your help

Jeff
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
Yes they are in Launcher2.apk ya I removed the black and blue one.

Here are all the Wallpapers I use in my EVOZone ROMs

HERE

It may contain some other wallpapers you might like.
[Xoom Android Development] Spectredroid:
Xoom Zone is SuperEpicWinning

:DLove the rom. Works flawlessly for me. While I liked the bootanimation, I like it better without it btw zone. :cool: Just saying, great work. Appreciate it.
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
Its seems like on all my ROMs I always end up with the stock android boot animation. Boot animations add that WOW factor but after that you hardly notice them.
[Xoom Android Development] Spectredroid:
Yep.

I know. I have built a few myself for several devices, and I look at how cool they are for like one time, then I just wait impatiently :mad: for the device to boot. I actually really dig the simplicity of the stock one. Me likey. :cool: Also, the look you have put together on this rom is perfect for me. I love the blue man. It really looks crisp. :)
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
Thats basically the way I do all my ROMs. I know some like to theme the crap out of them but I like the stock look. I just don't like the green or the stock notification icons. Like the stock gmail email notification icon just sucks.
[Xoom Android Development] spiff72:
Zone:

Thanks for the info on where the wallpapers are stored. I just grabbed the one that was missing and added to a Wallpaper folder in internal storage, rather than messing with the Launcher2.apk.

One new question though. Are the updates that you posted before still valid for getting the standard battery icons? I see you changed post 2 and there doesn't appear to be an option for the standard (Tiamat) battery icons anymore. Can I use the one you posted before and flash it over the most recent ROM? Or should I just manually update your ZIP file like I did before?

Thanks

Jeff

EDIT: Disregard - I just went ahead and modified the ZIP file and added the icons.
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
Unfortunately I don't want to have to create ROMs with separate battery icons all the time. So I may just create a flashable zip with the icons.

So your all set now?
[Xoom Android Development] spiff72:
I am good. Thanks!

I think I asked this before, but would it work if I created a create a zip file that is basically the ROM with everything stripped out (paths and files), EXCEPT for the path to the framework-res.apk file? Could this be flashed?

I might look at your previously posted ZIP files with the big battery icons and see if I can figure out what you did for those...

Thanks
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
I've created a fairly simple WEB Site for my ROMs. Please feel free to visit it and leave some comments. Its nothing fancy just ROM stuff. Thanks.
[Xoom Android Development] moosc:
Can I load this directly over launchpad kernal 1.2.3? Or do I need load the other Rom first?
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
I don't understand the the question. Load what?
[Xoom Android Development] moosc:
do I need to be on the tianment Rom first? or can I just load your Rom? also I just loaded the new launchpad kernal will that affect any thing?
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
You don't need to flash Tiamat ROM first, this is a full ROM. Launchpads kernel will be overwritten by Tiamats kernel. If you still want to use it you can flash it after you flash the ROM.
[Xoom Android Development] moosc:
OK trying again been bootlooping so I've be going back to my backup. I did like that wallpaper that was cool wasn't there a icon before of SD card in menu bar. Did u move it?
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
The SDCard stuff will show up after you reboot the ROM. It seems like it doesn't show up when you first boot. Reboot and bingo it should be there. Also it should show up if you take the card out and put it back in.
[Xoom Android Development] moosc:
OK as I get it booted ill restart it. I'm in a state reboots tonight. last I wiped then tried adding just my data back from restore but no go.

Please take a look I wrote this up on my site in the FAQ

[Xoom Android Development] moosc:
Up and running everything seems good. One question is there a way.to.add.reboot option to power switch like u seed recovery?
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
So did the information on my site help?

That would be nice but Tiamat Team would need to add that. I include Quickboot it has all those options. I keep the icon on my desktop.
[Xoom Android Development] moosc:
Yea it did kinda figured it was causing it. Question before I had external on my astro file manager. I go there to find my stuff and its empty I scroll down but see nothing for SD card do know what sub folhder its hiding in?
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
Well you can click on the SDCard image in the corner then the blue folder. Otherwise its Removable/MicroSD.

Need a lil help on installing the newest update of Maps.
[Xoom Android Development] spiff72:
Zone123:

Didn't you say earlier in this thread that the Maps.apk file should be in the data/apps folder (rather than system/apps)?

For some reason, I thought you had changed this, but my Maps won't update either.

Or am I confusing this with something from the Tiamat thread?
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
There has been a problem with google maps updating on Tiamat ROM for some reason. Just hang tight we will get something out that is flashable. In other words don't do anything like return to stock. First thing I have to do is get my hands on the apk.
[Xoom Android Development] spiff72:
I don't know if it is related, but I have "Friend Me for Facebook" installed too, and it won't update, either.

It acts differently. When I hit the update button, the "Allow Access" dialog pops up, populated with a spinning "loading" circle for about a half second, and then the dialog disappears. I never get a chance to accept the permissions and it thus never even attempts to download.
[Xoom Android Development] Jackel56:
Just uninstall it. Then reinstall it. Worked for me.
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
Sorry what are we talking about again?
[Xoom Android Development] Brenardo:
Thanks for looking in to it dude. I gotta have my maps cause earth ain't working for me either....

Planning a flounder gigging trip for the weekend and I would love to have access to maps offline so I can keep my mobile data turned off and have plenty of battery all night long...
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
yep no need for a mod, just uninstall and reinstall and it works perfectly!
[Xoom Android Development] Brenardo:
Maybe this will work.
[Xoom Android Development] Brenardo:
Definitely. Not. "installation unsuccessful"
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
Well I mean honestly your existing maps should still be working..

I'm still looking into it as well as Team Tiamat who made the base. Its some sort of permissions problem, i guess.
[Xoom Android Development] MitchTank:
zone, is there anything you could tell me or point out to me for why honey bread is unsuccessful on tiamat 1.1. Me and dhemke17 put honetbread port together, but still bootloopin, this is my first time theming. Would be greatful for any advice. Thanks in advance, either way.

I know on the Droid charge with kejars ee4 base gummy rom, the themes made for it, would not work after a small udgrade, changing something like the power button menu,

Maps detail page in the market in Chinese/Japanese?

I know that everyone is having trouble with Google Maps updating, but I happened to click on the details page for it and saw the description wasn't in English. Any ideas why?
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
Agree I want it to work tOo. Nothing bothers me worse then something not working like it should. We just need to be patient and wait for someone smarter than I to figure out whats up.
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
OK who wants to try this?

Google Maps Fix

Flash this in Recovery

HERE

Boot Verify that you have Google Maps

Go to Settings/applications/ remove google maps

Cross Fingers

Go to Market search for Google Maps and install

This worked for me.

Cleared Instructions can be found here:

[Xoom Android Development] Brenardo:
Shasta exactly is this?
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
It is the steps I took to the new Google Maps to install.
[Xoom Android Development] cfrid34:
Followed Steps to the T, but no luck, install from market failed...
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
I had that same thing since yesterday then all the sudden it just worked.
[Xoom Android Development] bpick:
Maps - Try this.

Uninstall maps and make sure the apk is deleted in /system/app and /data/app. Then take the attached apk and rename it to com.google.android.apps.maps-1.apk and copy it to /data/apps (I used adb push). You will not need to update as this is the latest apk but I can now uninstall and re-install successfully.

If the apk does not follow the naming convention in /data/app it will be disregarded by launcher and market.

As far as being in System, I think the issue is that these are "built in" apps and are not removable (Yeah, right). And Google has technically stopped including Maps and Gmail as system apps. In the past the apk was in the system app space and named Maps.apk

My theory is that initially, the app in /system/ had a permission issue hence we could not remove or overwrite it or Market was looking for the one in /data/. Also when there was an existing maps apk in /data/ it needed to be removed but in my case also had incorrect permissions. Root Explorer (ES was a no go for me even though it claimed to have removed it) must have the mojo. That's why a few folks had luck using root explorer to remove the com.google.android.apps.maps-1.apk and then immediately removing from market. It was still preset as Market had not been restarted, had Market been stopped and relaunched maps would not show as installed even with Maps.apk in system, nor is there a launcher entry. Then upon reinstall the apk was placed in /data/app correctly.

We got into more trouble when some of us with the already existing permissions issue and most likely the apk in data from a previous install, flashed the fix. In my case (others can confirm/deny) the CWM zip did put the apk in /data/ but did so with it named Maps.apk causing it to be disregarded and did not remove the Maps.apk in system, which must also be removed. In the few cases where it worked, the zip must have been able to delete the original files in /system/ as intended but since it was required that the com.google.android.apps.maps-1.apk be overwritten/removed the extra step of deleting with root explorer was needed.

When you rename and copy the attached apk the permissions are correctly inherited from the parent folder. They should be rw -r -r if anyone wants to check me out on a non working install. After that all is back to normal.

The inconsistency in permissions that caused the apk to not be deleted by BRD's mod pack is likely due to reflashing without wiping, particularly when it is a case of flashing xoomzone over tiamat and the converse. I would be willing to bet that the folks for whom the fix worked wiped data before flashing or had just recently done so when it finally did work.

Let me know if this helped.

So that's what I think but I am probably totally off base and just like listening to myself type.
[Xoom Android Development] StrifeSoldierVII:
Cool. I just used the apk provided above and installed it like normal with no problem. It took a quick second to download and a quick second to install the apk as is. Thanks! Now I have Maps. Woot.
[Xoom Android Development] bwcorvus:
From the new screenshots it appears you have removed the theme? If so whats different between this and tiamat now?
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
I didn't remove the theme I just simply changed the wallpaper.
[Xoom Android Development] floomat:
is it possible for you to add localizations? im not that good in english and would love to have my german device in german language...
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
I'm not sure were you would get the language packs from if they don't come with the OS. Sorry.

I will say this my ROM has a lot of foreign friends over half the downloads were from Viet Nam 270 to be exact and only 102 from the US. 472 Total downloads nice job people glad you like it!

I'm guessing the base ROM is way beyond that.
[Xoom Android Development] dascope:
This worked beautifully for me. Thank you!
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
It was the cross fingers that was key..
[Xoom Android Development] spiff72:
I couldn't get this to work until I rebooted between the cross fingers step and the market installation step. That seemed to do the trick!
[Xoom Android Development] spiff72:
GMail issue

Has anyone noticed that what they do within the Gmail app on the Xoom isn't syncing with your desktop machine?

In other words - when I read or delete or change labels on an email in the Gmail app, I don't see the changes reflected if I go to my Gmail on my laptop. (They are still sitting in my inbox, unread).

I don't know if this is an issue with the ROM or not...

Thanks
[Xoom Android Development] moosc:
Im so confused! I dl this zip but it failed. Not sure what to do to get maps.
[Xoom Android Development] moosc:
Ive flashed the update it sent me bootlooping had to wipe cache. Looked in my app drawer no maps. Tried opening the map.apk posted no go. So my xoom is mapless in Nashville
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
Well the ROM includes it now so you could always try flashing it.
[Xoom Android Development] moosc:
Yea I'm updating didn't relize there was a update.
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
Well I hope it works for ya.
[Xoom Android Development] moosc:

small question

nice work man
[Xoom Android Development] mattyv316:
any plans on updating this to 3.2?
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
Well I have the 3G version thats why I haven't done anything. I would think that I could do a WiFi only version but I would have to look into it. Bigger question is which Base?
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
if anyone is having a problem with any updates what I have done is to uninstall the apk and then install it fresh and everyone has installed fine,,hope it helps,,,if all else fails ADB push it.
[Xoom Android Development] kendav911:
I would personally love to see your ROM upgraded to the 3.2 and Tiamat Katana kernel.
[Xoom Android Development] moosc:
yea your back cant wait for the next update
[Xoom Android Development] gchansou:
hello can some one tel me how screen capture native work ?

Thanks
[Xoom Android Development] StrifeSoldierVII:
Well I guess Xoom Zone can have a 3.2 ROM now right? Tiamat just released their new ROM that has 3G Xoom support! I'm sure you can work your magic now.

I have a 3G Xoom as well, and would love to see a new Xoom Zone on it. I like how your ROM is themed. :)

I'm hoping maybe in the future that we can theme our Xooms in a similar way that we theme our phones... with the T-Mobile theme chooser app.

Language

What languages ​​are available?
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
I'm not ignoring your question I'm just not sure. I didn't remove any languages so what ever it typically has.
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
Just a note guys I WILL be doing something with the battery icon. For now just put a piece of tape over it. I just just haven't figured out what I'm gonna do yet, didn't want to hold the ROM up in the mean time.
[Xoom Android Development] StrifeSoldierVII:
Can't wait to see what battery icons the teams will come up with. Sounds like no one likes the current setup.

Great ROM Zone! Good work! Running stable as always.
[Xoom Android Development] dadoc04:
Hahahaha @ put a piece of tape over it... you a fool zone.

Cant wait to see what u come up with. Thanks for the update
[Xoom Android Development] StrifeSoldierVII:
Zone... I have a question. I see no evidence anywhere on your ROM that shows that the Zoom feature is present... where is the zoom feature? I was using the new Tiamat, and all my phone specific apps would show the zoom icon in the notification bar. I get nothing from Xoom Zone while using a phone app.
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
Ya it showed up when I first flashed the ROM haven't seen it since.

edit:

its working for me ran location cache and it pop up.
[Xoom Android Development] spiff72:
Two questions:

1. Is there a new 2.0 version of the ROM? I checked the first post in the thread, but all that appears to be marked as 2.0 is the patched UAString file (which is nowhere big enough to be a ROM).

2. What is the UA string set to for each of the versions? In other words is the stock version set to Android, and the patched to Desktop? Or vice versa?

Thanks!
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
2.0 is the new version I only did it with patched string. The other is the previous stuff from the last ROM. If thats going to confuse you guys I will remove it. I did relabel it.
[Xoom Android Development] StrifeSoldierVII:
That's not working for me. I wonder why it doesn't show up. Maybe there is a fix you can put officially into your ROM? Aside from sd card support the zoom feature was the other major addition to 3.2, so it's kind of important right.

Maybe because of the 3g Xoom doesn't have 3.2 officially?
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
Did you try rebooting like I said its working for me.
[Xoom Android Development] Archangel:
rom working perfect as always however yes please get rid of that hideous battery, i would love the other blue HC battery w/percentages
[Xoom Android Development] StrifeSoldierVII:
Indeed I did. I wiped caches again as well to no resolve. I came directly from your 3.1 Rom. I'm puzzled. Possibly I need to wipe data for some odd reason. I didn't have to last time.

Testing now.
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
Ya I can NAND and reflash see what happens but I know its working for me. If we weren't the only two people using it we could get another opinion. LOL
[Xoom Android Development] StrifeSoldierVII:
Lol yeah. Come on people!

To update my post for the zoom feature missing issue... wiping data fixed the problem right up. I didn't have to wipe data before but I do this time even though I was coming from the latest Xoom Zone before this. Restoring my apps now. Looks good and all set Zone. People wipe data this time! ;)
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
Well thats good I was about to wipe and try again. In the middle of a NAND. I'm gonna probably do something with the battery icon tomorrow..
[Xoom Android Development] StrifeSoldierVII:
Sounds like a plan. No hurry though. Sorry about all the zoom feature posts. Others might have asked the same issue. I just have an eye for detail. Tell them to wipe data before installing this rom. I was just updating from your last rom and this is what happened without a data wipe.

Kudos to Xoom Zone! :)
[Xoom Android Development] zone23:
Ya see I always have to wipe it really the only way to know if it works or not.
[Xoom Android Development] spiff72:
I know that Quadrant scores are an synthetic benchmark, but I have been getting decreased numbers with this ROM. Also, when I run the benchmark, the app acts a bit strangely. The CPU section of the test actually never shows the numbers (0/12) up to the conclusion.

Has anyone else tried testing with Quadrant and gotten lower numbers? I was getting about 4000 with the previous Xoom Zone ROM, and dropped to about 3000 with this latest version.

Note: I usually run the bench with the CPU set to either 1600 or 1700 with the performance governor.

Battery Icon update:

HERE

Changes to the stock battery icons
[Xoom Android Development] spiff72:
That same issue was happening on the other 3.2 ROM that was posted in these forums. It was one of the reason that I stuck with the older versions. I was hoping that the Tiamat version would get rid of this issue. This leads me to think that it is a 3.2 issue.
