Yeah noticed this too. When an app shows an update is available in my apps try going to the app page, if you see an update button it should work. If you see just open or uninstall it will fail. Its like there is a delay from when an app shows an update in your my apps and when the update is actually available.

5ghz wifi band?

Not sure if it is an issue with the rom or something else, but ever since I switched over from moray last night the only issue I've had is not being able to pick up my 5ghz wifi band. Worked fine on moray brothers stock xoom is pickin it up so I know its not the router. Other than that this rom is amazing! Been waitin on this kinda quality from google for awhile. Don't get me wrong moray and tiamat was great, but c'mon....this is ice cream!

Root explorer has the same problem. I can make a new folder but can't delete it. Can't copy or save files to it either. Works fine as an mpt volume in windows though.
[Xoom Android Development] drhill:
Mine works fine on 5ghz.
[Xoom Android Development] phouse1025:
went back and rechecked it to 5ghz only and now it works. not sure what it was. before i had it on auto and it was connected, i switched to 5ghz only and it would drop connection and not reconnect. it would still show my network but wouldnt connect until i changed back to auto. workin now so not sure, maybe it was the router

downloaded the v7 package and tried to flash through CWM and i get this

--Installing: /sdcard/Download/gapps_ics_4.0.3_v7.zip

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

E:Can't open /sdcard/Download/gapps_ics_4.0.3_v7.zip

(No such file or directory)

Installation aborted.

/tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log. Please open ROM Manager to report the issue

any ideas? what could i be doin wrong? I DL the package to my xoom and click it and ROM manager opens it directly up and asks to reboot in recovery to complete installation. then it trys and i get this message.

Wow this has taken some life glad to see you guys have finally considered yourselves a team. I see plenty of things coming from all your hard work. I don't go to the chat that often but I keep an eye out on things to see where progress is being made.
[Xoom Android Development] digitalr0gue:
Works fine for me with File Manager HD. Download it from market and see if that works. Maybe an ICS compatibility issue with those programs?

Yeah Ti backup is acting weird. Says my back up folder is not writeable but I can read and write to the card using root explorer. Ended up moving the folder to the "internal" sdcard.
[Xoom Android Development] braso:
For those of you experiencing poorer battery life with ICS over previous ROM's, one thing you can try is to go into running apps and kill the media service. On my alpha build on my SGS2 that makes a big difference, so I have tried it here and the battery life seems pretty similar to how it was with Team Tiamat's 3.2 ROM. Not sure if it actually does anything at all with the Xoom version, but worth a go anyway.
[Xoom Android Development] rmcsc:
Same thing on Grand Theft Auto III. It's probable that it's a hardware acceleration issue. It might be solved in the future with some drivers.

I am currently on build 12 and have flashed the gapps in the OP. For some reason I cannot buy anything from the market. I can d/l free apps but cannot buy anything. Can anyone help?
[Xoom Android Development] Esteway.619:
That's been a common issue. I have the issue on my Xoom and my nexus s 4g.
[Xoom Android Development] ghoticov:
Ahhhh, I see. I was able to get around the issue by going to the market on the browser and buying through there and it worked.
[Xoom Android Development] Esteway.619:
Ya I forgot to mention that. That's the only way I think as of right now.
[Xoom Android Development] OriginalMemnock:
Great work guys. Running build 15 and so far everything (other than the obvious - camera) is working perfectly. Even my weird Netflix problem is fixed, which makes me all moist and such!

Awesome job guys, keep up the good work!

Edit; duh...nothing changed from last build...sometimes I want to smack myself.
[Xoom Android Development] Nusince:
They have the same problem with the LTE Galaxy Nexus. You cannot technically build 4.0.3 from source and have it work because there are still proprietary binaries that they have not been able to release because of licensing issues. So to get around this people are taking components out of the shipping firmware to make it work until we actually get the correct binaries.

It's really a function of the advancement in technology that is causing the problem more then anything. Hardware acceleration is a great example. In order to execute it you need to have highly optimized drivers. Hardware manufacturers do not want to release the source code for these drivers because that would give their competitors an edge. So Google is forced to write API's that hardware manufacturers have to write to and then open source those API's. But having the API's are not enough if the correct binaries are not there for the api to hook into. And since Google does not own those binaries they have to get permission to distribute them. And as a result we are stuck waiting for companies that are not as on the ball about releases as Google is.
[Xoom Android Development] double1:
I'm just happy that out of the hundreds of android tablets out there we get ics first. This is an alpha of an aosp build and runs smoother than any previous version of android. The camera drivers will come and once again we can claim the Xoom as the alpha tablet :p
[Xoom Android Development] Nusince:
It's not even Motorola we are waiting for. For the radio's the binaries would actually come from Qualcomm. For the camera its Sony or Silicon Imaging or whoever actually makes the camera module...
[Xoom Android Development] madamimadam:
Adding single picture widget ----> FC gallery

I've cleared cache and restarted.
[Xoom Android Development] kar200:
Thanks for the big explanation. I suppose the binaries need to be compiled for 4.0.3 for it to work properly on our devices.

I am happy with this rom. I probably won't use the camera much but would be nice to have it working. Apparently people reported GPS working (have not tried it yet). So I guess for the Wifi only users only Camera is missing?

I purchased Dice Player which has been working great with CM7 on my Galaxy S. I could not find it int he market so I suppose a ICtS version is not out yet. I wonder if they have to optimize it for the Xoom after that (Tegra).

Also people are calling this an Alpha rom? I don't think this is Alpha since this is not porting and the actual code was written to work directly on the Xoom?

K.
[Xoom Android Development] PoLaRBe4r:
yes my gps is running but I am on a canadian wifi only Xoom
[Xoom Android Development] Nusince:
Exactly. And while it is theoretically possible to take some of the binaries from HC we do not feel that is the correct path considering that we should see everything else we need shortly. We are far more interested in building an extremely stable, high performance rom then we are in rushing things simply for the sake of being first.

On a Wifi xoom (Wingray) the only things really not working are the cameras, bluetooth, and HDMI (HDMI works but is still buggy).

As for the market issues, it has to do with the way this build is identifying itself to the market. We will get it corrected as soon as we are able to. One way around it in the meantime would be to restore the app from titanium backup.
[Xoom Android Development] jchenny:
Ya...camera is one of the most important thing for me since I use Skype Video Chat very often...

But great work, hope to see a fully working version soon~
[Xoom Android Development] apollyon0810:
Does this ROM still have the problem of not going into deep sleep like blades ROM did?
[Xoom Android Development] Nusince:
Not that I am aware of.
[Xoom Android Development] Musicmaster:
Although I understand not wanting to use the HC binaries with the intimate release of the ICS versions, would it actually be hard to extract the camera and blutooth ones, and then properly replace them when the ICS versions are released?

I've never done any ROM cooking before, so I'm not sure if it as simple as pulling out a file or two and inserting it into a new ROM.

Has anyone ran into a problem where your tablet's memory is erased? Referring to the internal memory (/sdcard). Mine just lost everything there. The system and apps are still here, but all downloaded files, pictures, video, everything ... well, it's gone!
[Xoom Android Development] d3athsd00r:
Yeah that happens with fastboot -w and with some recoveries. That happened to me.
[Xoom Android Development] :
Nightly 15 was a amazing surprise.

I was not expect that amost everything was fixed.

Wifi: Works

Bluetooth: Works (including keyboards and headsets)

USB: Works

HDMI: Works (with sound)

Camera is still the only drive missing.

Some games (gameloft's stuff) and apps (moboplayer only run on soft decoding) probably need devs code update for ICS.

Some extra info:

Boot time: 45s (already with all my stuff, probably naked version will be better)

Free ram: 530mb

So, thanks team for the effort!

Encryption

Hi Everyone.

I fear I may have shot myself in the foot trying to prove a point.

After being asked to disconnect all Android devices from my work's corporate active sync due to some silly misconceptions about android. I tried to prove to the powers that be that the tablet could be encrypted. Which I hastily proved, without remembering that I'm not running stock... :eek:

So everything is working great and I'm all happy and connected, however I have just downloaded EOS Wingray 16 and I can no longer mount the SD card in recovery.

Unfortunately a device wipe (via settings) doesn't actually wipe the device. It asks for my PIN reboots and starts the install screen, but then reboots and everything is back to normal.

Am I stuck on version 13 or is there a way around this?

Cheers

Mike.
[Xoom Android Development] christianpeso:
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but the only thing u have to do is unencrypt it within the OS before u try to flash and it should work.
[Xoom Android Development] mcakar:
Thanks @christianpeso. But if I go through the OS to do a factory reset, I just end up in the same state - still all encrypted and everything still there.

Is there anywhere else I should be looking?

Cheers.

Mike.

I think I'll just run through going back to stock and starting again ( http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/)

Cheers.
[Xoom Android Development] jgardner:
I believe he meant that you have to boot up your Xoom, go into settings, then security, and unencrypt. Then you should be able to flash/access data.

How to mount external SD card as read/write? The nightly rom shows micro sd only read-only
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
You need to use Root Explorer...it gives you that option.
[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
I haven't been able to use root explorer to touch the sdcard. I don't think it is possible since it is formatted as a FAT partition.
[Xoom Android Development] dj_ghosie:
Another wonderful build, loves the volume control and other minor tweaks, thank you!

Would you be so kind to update the first post and direct newbies to install the v7 gapps instead of the original one from koush? Reason being that it can spare those newbs a full wipe in order to fix the apps sync issues.

Will there be a lot of abortive works to migrate the kernels from 2.6 tree to 3.0 tree? Coz I noticed ICS should be using 3.0 tree instead of 2.6 and I believed the tree you are using now is just a temporary measure... please correct me if I am wrong.
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
Huh? Has never been a problem for me.
[Xoom Android Development] raihankabir_1:
I can use root explorer but suppose you want to set download folder in dolphin browser into mnt/external1/download you can not in ics because its not enabled permanenrly.

Is there any code or script to mount thr micro sd permantly so that i can use that script by rom toolbox?
[Xoom Android Development] Alxoom33:
I can't find it. Please describe or show a screen shot.:confused:
[Xoom Android Development] pipesdl:
I had the same problem. Rebooting seemed to remount the SD as r/w.
[Xoom Android Development] solarnz:
The 2.6.39 kernel has come from Google. There is no reason why ICS has to use a 3.0 kernel.

If android is mounting your external sdcard read only, there is a reason for that. When android detects an error on the sdcard it will re-mount it read only. I would highly suggest that you try another card instead of using solutions like an sdcard remounter. Never have I had an issue where I have been unable to write to the external sdcard.
[Xoom Android Development] M3drvr:
To install the update and the updated gapps do I have to do a factory reset wipe, or can I just format/system and /cache and install rom and gapps?
[Xoom Android Development] raihankabir_1:
I can write to my micro sd from root explorer but the applications like dolphin browser, titanium backup etc can not write onto it.

I checked my card in pc and it was ok.

Are the applications unable to write into micro sd in ics for any alteration in os?
[Xoom Android Development] rschenck:
Only time a full wipe is needed is the first time you install. Installing the nightlies goes fine with just a cache wipe....or not even that.

Just remember to reflash the gapps after flashing a nightly.
[Xoom Android Development] M3drvr:
Ok, ya, i knew that installing nightly over nightly is no problem without a full wipe, just on the first post it says to update to new gapps it requires a full package install, just confused me. But ok thanks!
[Xoom Android Development] Alxoom33:
Can anyone please let me know how to use the new slide volume controls. Looked, can't find them.:confused:

Settings interface and standard quick settings
[Xoom Android Development] Nusince:
The official ICS kernel for Xoom from Google right now is 2.6.39. It is believed that this will remain the kernel version for ICS on xoom for some time. There is no real advantage to be had by migrating to a 3.x based kernel.
[Xoom Android Development] macarmody:

Great work guys. Been on the nightlies for a few days and ICS has certainly polished the Xoom into a creamy smooth device. Loving the settings and ease of use. The fonts just look better too. Only thing that would complete the ROM would be 3G (euro version MZ601). Happy enough to stay with the ROM regardless.
[Xoom Android Development] blakejohnson86:

there was an issue for us users with HK Xooms, I created a thread about it and SolarNZ incorporated a fix for it in the tiamat roms after Hammerhead.

This is the error I get when trying to change permissions on external1 using root explorer
[Xoom Android Development] Esteway.619:
On the top of the screen there's a tab that shows mount R/W. Tap that so it changes to R/O. Then u can change permission
[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
no good, get the same message. I should say, I can read and write to the card but Titanium backup does not allow me to write. The owner and group of the exteranl1 is system / media_mw or (or something like that) vs root which I think has something to do with it.
[Xoom Android Development] Esteway.619:
are u rooted
[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
Yes (this ROM is rooted from the start), all other root functions work. I changed the backup folder to the internal sdcard and since the new versions of cwm do not wipe the internal card I'm fine. I'd just like to figure this out. It almost feels like a problem with Ti backup but to my knowledge, no one else has reported a problem. I even tried pulling my card and reformating but that didn't seem to work eitehr
[Xoom Android Development] Esteway.619:
OK try checking the superuser app and check the log. Make sure root explore is on there. If it granted it. I would say just reflash the rom and start fresh see if that fixes your issue
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
Oh, I have had a problem with TB on this rom...couldn't restore for the first time ever, so I had to go back to my earlier nandroid, backup user apps and data with My Backup Root (saved to internal), and restore from there after wiping and flashing new gapps. PITA, but it worked. So yeah, something is wrong with Titanium Backup and ICS.
[Xoom Android Development] mutiny:
If you have more than one backup for each app (I do 3), you'll notice that there's an extra protected data backup over the regular apps + data backup. You have to delete that before you can do a batch restore for all user apps. A quick way of confirming this is to see the icons next to the backups. What you don't want to see is an egg with a check mark next to the apps you want to restore. A smiley face of any color is what you want.

It's also possible you also need to point Titanium to path where your backups are first.

Good luck!
[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
Thanks, glad it just isn't me. I had that problem too after the first ICS fresh install, I just installed everything from scratch. TB has been working better since I moved the backup folder to the "internal" sdcard.

Maybe I'll email the dev about this.
