Changes to the Android Low memory killer.

Updated kernel.

Added/Changed the labels for USB Storage to reflect USB storage instead of SD card.

Added USB mount location
[Xoom Android Development] joshndroid:
fantastic installing on my 2 xooms now... thanks team and thanks motazsayed =]
[Xoom Android Development] motazsayed:
ur welcome man :D
[Xoom Android Development] orionshock:
Don't know if the code is available, but the Honeycomb Release for the Logitech Revue / Google TV box has the ability to mount USB storage and has a interface all built up.. granted probably not as elaborate as what many would deem needed for us Power Users.

However I mention this because it may give some insight on how it should be setup on the Xoom with regards to how Google thinks it should / will be done later.

Then again these 2 ideas could be completely unrelated.

I'm on flash 15 getting ready to upgrade to 17 and I just wanted to say that this ROM is amazing. It's been running beautifully for me, and is very stable. My only problem is having to reload the gapps every time I load the new rom.

In any case, great job so far. I understand that we probably won't see HDMI or camera support until Moto gets around to updating the Xoom themselves, but I don't really use either right now, so this is exactly what I would want for my Xoom. Thanks so much guys, you've done an amazing job with this.
[Xoom Android Development] sibax:
HDMI works fine for me on verison 16 now 17.
[Xoom Android Development] omnia1994:
Great rom!

I found that full screen browsing may need to re enable everytime to let it work
[Xoom Android Development] :
I use this ROM right now and it works very well.

It's my first experience with an Android devices and custom ROM. I ask me if it's secure to install a custom ROM.

I would like to know your thoughts.
[Xoom Android Development] rmcsc:
Yeah, that tends to happen, it seems. Happened to me, too. Does anyone have any idea where Flash is installed to? /system, /sdcard, /where?

What do you mean by secure? If you mean that it won't damage your device, there's some very important things to consider before flashing a new ROM if you're new and inexperienced:

1. Who made the ROM? Was it a newbie or someone with lots of experience? Does the person seem fishy or professional?

2. How's the description of the ROM? Believe it or not, this sometimes helps you identify if the ROM is worth it or a waste of time.

3. Are there any comments on the thread? If so, what do they say? Anyone saying it killed their device? Was it solved? It's always important to read before you proceed.

4. Always - always - always - always have your device's battery charged before you start. Have at least some 50% charge. If the device loses charge while you're working, you're basically screwed for the time being. Patiently wait until it recharges to restart, hoping you didn't ruin it.

5. Read. And. Follow. All. Instructions. Unless you know what you're doing (you have some experience flashing ROMs), follow all instructions to the letter. This is the most important one.

Did I answer your questions? If not, ask away again.
[Xoom Android Development] :
By secure, I mean virus, trojan or anything else about hacking or stolen your personal data.
[Xoom Android Development] digitalr0gue:
as long as you aren't installing a ROM from Billy-Bob's Android Site, you should be ok. Just stick to a reputable distribution from XDA and you should be fine.

I could also fire up a Samba server and use cifs, but why not use the native tools :=) (android is basically a disguised linux box)
[Xoom Android Development] popokrew:
I remember with CM7 nightlies on my G2 that they automatically kept the gapps apks and there was even a file where you could add your own files to keep after installing the next version of the ROM. Any way this could be implemented? I dont know if that was a CM feature or something built in to AOSP already.
[Xoom Android Development] rschenck:
As i understand it, the issue is that in ICS gapps are installed in /system rather than /data...therefore they are wiped when you flash a rom and need to be replaced.
[Xoom Android Development] bumbernut:
Just flashed v17. Looks like i might have lost deep sleep. CPU spy is reporting its not being used. Anyone else seeing this?
[Xoom Android Development] joe ferreira:
I have been flashing custom roms from xda for over 10 years and have never been a victim of this kind of behavior as a result of flashing a custom rom for windows mobile, android, or the short lived apple iphone modding that I was part of.

eos/tiamat is the most respected development team in the xoom arena and I have not heard anything to argue otherwise.

IMHO EOS ( the Team formally known as Tiamat :) ) has produced the most stable builds I have seen on any mobile device I have owned. The Xoom being a google experience device along side the nexus phones will have the longest life of any tablet on the market due to developer adoption.

google voice search and all related voice services are not working. It is a ICS issue that is occurring on other devices also.
[Xoom Android Development] gizhola:
The mic works fine in Skype as well. Just waiting on the camera, so I can video chat again.
[Xoom Android Development] digitalr0gue:
That is correct. I keep the gapps in the same folder as my nightlies, so after a new flash, it's a quick 10 extra seconds to flash gapps, reboot, enjoy :-)

On a separate note, anyone know what the kernel changes were in 17? Change log was vague. Or is there a more verbose version posted for my future knowledge?

[Xoom Android Development] :
Here is it, overlayers of clock and date.
[Xoom Android Development] McDV:
I understand what you mean. Using a ROM from a source like this is secure - especially if the ROM itself is Open Source.

The higher risk is using the root-access of your device. An app that has root-permissions really can do anything and - if granted access one time - without asking for a second time. So you never should give an app root-access, if you don't really trust it. If you use root-apps, it's more secure to use a custom ROM than a rooted stock-ROM. Just for the reason, that you will reflash a custom ROM more often and so would overwrite malware, that could be copied to /system-partition by a root-app. If you simply use a rooted stock-ROM, you maybe would carry that malware with you for a very long time.

But, to sum it up again, I think the only real risk are root-apps, not a custom ROM from a trusted source like the team EOS or CyanogenMod.

The nightlies are but these are just alpha builds atm. Eventually there will be a build which will be stable enough and have enough working to be called a full release.
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
You need to do a complete data wipe/factory reset, cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe (advanced) in the CWM ecovery menu, reflash your ICS build and on top of that, flash the newest gapps version--found at link in post #2. That one will fix you up. If you've already done that, then...?

it annoys the hell out of you. It basically means as the room brightness changes, the screen brightness can decrease in response, instead of just increasing it to it's initial value. It is really sensitive though, and keeps going up and down every few seconds. It's annoying when playing a game or watching a movie. :eek:

When you had the issue did you go back to stock at any point? or are you using a specific Kernel version etc..?

---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------

It's entirely possible that what you are seeing is actually an issue with SetCPU and not your xoom. SetCPU still has some quirky behavior with ICS. That's said I cannot replicate that problem, however I will keep at it.
[Xoom Android Development] couchmonkey:
I don't see any difference between stock and trebuchet so far, what are the changed for the xoom?

trebuchet is a enhanced aosp launcher being worked on by the cm9 team.

hit the options button when you are at your home screen and you will see preferences. it has extra menu options to change the amount of home screens etc.

they are adding more options every day.

I am not trying to derail the thread. if you have more questions I would post them on the trebuchet thread.

I am currently on Tiamat 2.2.2 with Odachi kernel. Very happy with the whole setup. I honestly think is one of the best roms and kernel in the Android ecosystem

Last night I decided to give build 17 a shot understanding that the rom is in early stage of development.

These are my first impressions:

The job done so far is IMPRESSIVE. AWESOME.. the rom works but in my case at least is SLOW.

Boots faster than 2.2.2 but is laggy. Titanium restore of some 200 apps took almost two hours to finish. Market downloads takes ages.,and some other minor objections very natural considering the stage of development.

Comments please?

[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
If you have a lot of apps...but my Titanium Backup doesn't work properly with this rom. I had to use My Backup Root, which uses more space for its backup.

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

I use CPUMaster and it's very easy. Start a bit on the conservative end...almost everyone can usually run stable at 1.5ghz. Use interactive or lagfree governor, and don't choose "set on boot" unless you're really sure it runs stable at that clock speed.
[Xoom Android Development] Legato Bluesummers:
I had no issues restoring apps and data to this ROM. Just only restore APP data... never ever restore system data. You gotta deal with setting everything up again (wifi, bt, settings menu). If you restore system data expect to have issues. Anytime I restored system data my gmail stops syncing altogether amongst other quirks.
[Xoom Android Development] Nusince:
I'm not certain anyone can define what is normal in your case. I have never seen/heard of/envisioned restoring 200 apps to any mobile device.

Is that just user apps or are you trying to restore system apps as well?

The issues you are seeing with the market actually has nothing to do with ICS. The Android Market, starting a couple of versions ago, now queue's downloads so that it basically downloads one or two at a time instead of all apps simultaneously like in the old market.
[Xoom Android Development] ruvort:
I know this is an easy thing to add, but could you edit the wpa _supplicant with adhoc support? It would be most appreciated :-)

I agree and I do the same thing. Now that things like flash drives are so large and so cheap there is no good excuse not to keep a safe backup of just about everything.

Can anyone explain what the too hot to touch is in nightly20?
[Xoom Android Development] solarnz:
Due to the lack of some busybox functionalities when it comes to setting a retrieving the last modified time on a file, I created a simple binary that handles it. The binary "touches" a specified file, and if that file was modified (or touched) less than 4 minutes ago, it returns in error. Otherwise it returns normally.

Currently it is used in the overclocking scripts that run on start up. This way if the script ran less than 4 minutes ago, then it won't set the clocks to your specified settings. This is because it is likely that you have set your clock settings too high and the device as rebooted!
