I'm on build 51. it was the first build I've put on my xoom from stock. I have had 2 reboots once quite soon after flashing and one the next day.

From the above comments I guess this is something new introduced in this build and I am best off flashing 50? Or can someone suggest a good one for me to try.

Also I have no reference but in all the later builds does the broswer sometimes seem to not respond (normally super fast but sometimes - possibly only when loading the page - it acts as if it isnt detecting any input from the touchscreen)

Nice work Eos but ....

i cant really be bothered to flash a new rom every couple of days. I want to be able to take my xoom with me and know itll hold up whatever i throw at it on ICS. so..how long until the "perfect, stable, fast, everything working" rom.

Its a pain installing everything, deleting everything adjusting everything over and over.

How far off do you think?
[Xoom Android Development] RacerX780:
My guess is they probably don't have a date in mind... Just whenever it's ready.

Just flash a rom that works for you and is stable and stick with it. When you see a new nightly that adds something you are in need of, then flash. Otherwise stick with what works for you. :)
[Xoom Android Development] scottgti:
Flash a stock rom. I'm sure it will be "perfect, stable, fast, everything working" rom.
[Xoom Android Development] masterslacker:
I started with the EOS rom around build 31, and that was the first and only time I did a complete wipe and reinstall of all my apps. Ever since then, I just flash the new nightly, then flash Gapps, then wipe cache & dalvik, and reboot. It goes through it's "updating/optimizing" process for about 2-3 minutes while booting, and then the system is up and running again, with all my apps and settings ready to go. I've never had any major issues doing that process, even when updating the Gapps package.

My point is that I don't think you need to do a complete wipe every time you install a new nightly - only if you have major issues where apps are force closing.
[Xoom Android Development] rschenck:
From the sound of it, Android really isn't for you. Android, especially custom roms like this one, reward curiosity and experimentation. You have to be ready willing and able to tinker and investigate until everything is perfect....then wipe the slate clean and search for a totally different perfect.

A rom like this one will NEVER be final, it will never cease development. To ask Team EOS to give you a date like that is like asking a parent when their child will be final, or asking an astronomer when a star will be final. Obviously they never will be....and just inferring such a thing is almost insulting.

There is no shame in it, but I really think you should get an iPad. I have two, love them a lot. An iPad is far more likely to give you the sort of stable, consistent, dependable experience you are looking for out of the box.
[Xoom Android Development] Boarder277:
Well said rschenck...well said

developing these builds, as well as flashing and testing them constantly is a passion...a sickness even : )

Something that you just love to do.......it's a state of mind, the kind of feeling you got on christmas morning as a kid when you wake up and think "what amazing features and goodies have the Team EOS guys cooked up for us today?"

It's a state of mind that I think allot of people on this forum understand...

It's a state
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Hey guys. There's a few things I'd like to address.

Reboots: Me and solarnz are VERY AWARE of the reboot problem. I've been getting several a day too. We believe the problem is related to some experimental things we tried in the kernel. Solarnz pushed a new kernel last night so maybe he was able to address it. We are working with an entirely new kernel and a new wifi stack. So work with us as we try to get these things sorted out. If you find a nightly that is stable and works for you, keep a backup. Try a new nightly. If it's borked, run your backup. Let's keep it fun in here! We are as excited as you guys are about ics. For the mobile data users, I pushed up a couple of fun new quick controls too :D

Titanium Backup: FOR THE MOST PART, I have had ZERO issues restoring all my user apps and my system data. When i refer to system data, i'm talking about the green highlighted system data such as settings preferences and camera settings. I don't resotre any other system data.

System storage: You may have noticed you have very little system storage. Some of you have not been able to push to system at all because system storage is full. Basically, this is because ICS is big! But the main culprit appears to be some binaries that Facial Recognition uses. They can be found in the /system/vendor/pittpatt directory. I've been able to successfully move that directory to /data then symlink back to /system/vendor. I'll post a flashable zip to do that. Seems to work perfect and frees up 25MB of /system storage.

I think that covers things for now. Peace.
[Xoom Android Development] rockhumper:
If you cant be bothered with this then guess what...nightlies are not for you! Go load a stocker ICS....PS general rule of thumb when receiving FREE customized ROMs made by other people for [did i mention this already?] FREE....You DO NOT ASK FOR ETAs!!!!!!!!!!!! EVAR! Roll with the punches or head out of nightlies. Nightlies are by definition experimental and probably not bug free...I am sure a new thread will be posted for the final stable product, but remember these guys have lives too and those lives are not centered around providing us awesome free software all day every day (even though a tremendous amount of effort is being put forth by EOS to provide new ROM fixes every 24 hours!).
[Xoom Android Development] al mon:
Flashed 53 and seems to be uber stable. Came from 44. Very nice Team EOS!!!
[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
Giving 53 a go now.

Can you flash an older build over a newer build or is it better to restore an older nandroid and flash over that?
[Xoom Android Development] rockhumper:
EDIT: Nevermind I read your question wrong...

You can flash over a newer build, but wipe cache and dalvik

@okantomi:

just ordered that Adonit Jot yesterday

thanks !

wingray works flawlessly so far (nightly #49 on my Moto Xoom Wifi-only from Germany)

it's not smooth enough yet for my taste but I'm sure that could be further tweaked ...

@rschenk:

thanks for the warm welcome & the guide !

worked perfectly :)

@Team Eos:

guys,

I'd like to do some additions & experiments with the tiamat kernel

(probably some additional performance tuning & raising smoothness and/or others)

not sure if this is the right place to ask for (it's development subforum after all)

but:

could you please point me to the initramfs that is needed & any special magic after building the regular kernel via "make" for the resulting boot.img (e.g. to include kernel modules if needed) ?

also there's only a

stingray_defconfig in the arch/arm/configs folder

(http://git.tiamat-dev.com/tegra2/tiamat-xoom/tree/arch/arm/configs?h=ics)

that also works for the wingray ?

many thanks in advance & thanks a lot for your excellent work ! :)

edit:

it's asking for a password during attempt to clone the repo (via git address) - why that ? :/

now cloning via http ...

edit2:

reason for wanting to work with the kernel is that I'll be using the Xoom for study purposes (reading PDFs from university, books, etc. etc.)

so I want to have it working as optimally as possible

hope we can work together on this (more or less)

:)
[Xoom Android Development] davidsos:
Do you restore (Desktop) Launcher from TB to restore the icons and UI layout after a factory reset and App restore? By the way, you guys have made my Xoom very happy.

Hello. Internet was down for a few days so now I'm on 53 from 48. Has anyone noticed that dolphin browser freezes on ics when you click on a recently viewed page on the top left corner? Is this a build issue or does dolphin browser need an update? Also, has there been any progress on adding ad hoc support to future builds? Thanks again for all your amazing efforts.
[Xoom Android Development] skoone68:
Hi jessman-

I've been suffering dolphin freezes and lockups since ics , so I'm guessing it's more of a dolphin issue. The stock browser along with ics browser+ do not exhibit these issues. I find that if I close dolphin when it locks up and start it back up again, it works fine for as long as it allows before it locks up again sometime later.

Dear friends at Team EOS

I've been away on a trip for a day or so and catching up with the thread I went across this post.

I understand how easy is to get PO at garbage posted on the thread by people that don't understand how serious this is and the pressure under your shoulders aiming to get the product or your effort at a perfect level.

Please understand that if you get garbage here, you will also get the same garbage there. At least here you are able to filter and ignore it . Please do so.

On the other hand I ask my friends in the thread to understand how difficult is to be a developer and be under the pressure of useless and repeated posts that don't add value to the dedication necessary to get such a difficult job done.

Cheers

The wifi stby policy doesn't work for me from the first nighty that I tried (32 I think) till now (the last one).

It remains always on, no matter what I choose in the sleep policy.

Anyone in the same situation?

Any workaround?
[Xoom Android Development] badasschris:
Hi is there a FAQ for these builds? I've tried 2 from stock so far. 51 was perfect for me apart from a few reboots so now I'm on 52. I haven't had any reboot but it seems a bit laggy in comparison. This is in every thing but more noticeably in the browser. (Also overclocking makes little difference)

51 I did a full wipe and 52 I just wiped the cache, could that be the cause of the laggyness?

Even with the little issues these builds are much better than stock thanks so much.
[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
Stability on 54 seems good. No rebooted so far.
[Xoom Android Development] ionSeven:
well I'm now running build #54 and I have to say my Xoom has never run so smooth, even opera mobile seems to be running a lot better, so far so good.

great job guys :-)

PSA: Bugzilla is your friend. Register. Surf it. Learn it. Active user participation with developers in such a controlled and organized process such as the Eos bug tracker site extends a projects life cycle and productivity. It's hard to herd cats and modify behaviour but imagine how helpful it would be to those doing the work if our bugs were first referenced in/on Bugzilla and discussion here referenced the associated Bugzilla ID #. Equal to donations this practice respects developers but also conditions noobs and fosters functional communications.

Can I marry you and have your babies?
[Xoom Android Development] stonebear:
Can anyone tell me how the EOS settings work please?

Specifically, if I tick "EOS settings", I get to check 2enabled eos settings", they are mostly settings that are available in the normal android settings, like wifi etc.

So, what happens if I untick or tick them?

edit

Just worked it out, lol. :o
[Xoom Android Development] rschenck:
As I understand it, the EOS Settings enables the settings options in the notifications menu. Yes they are settings you can access in the settings menu, but this is just a "quick access" sort of feature.

The EOS Settings that have been discussed on their github, such as "Contact Mother ship" or "Enable Sexy Time" are not included in builds yet.
[Xoom Android Development] ricardowec:
Ha ha.. can I join as a Godfather ??

Listen. I am in no agreement with EOS whatsoever.

We have XDA. The WIKI (sorry but gone as I am concerned .. Sorry Mr. Admin. It had a good start when commenting builds) and now we have Bugzilla.

Where and how do I post (as a true example ) "Netflix performs laggy, keeps on buffering and loosing frames -over a 10Mb Commercial grade DSL connection .." .

Yes, Netflix is an app.. but we all know it has to do with the CPU/GPU combination and the crazy bottleneck built in by Nvdia as well as the TCP Stack /WiFi drivers.

So, if I am bound to post in al three places in order to let EOS know about my "findings" (don't call the bugs) , I might as well jump out and watch from the bench.

Cheers.
[Xoom Android Development] rschenck:
Point 1 - the wiki is a community project. Everyone can and should be posting to it....I cannot and will not do it all by my lonesome. Beyond that, it is not for bug reporting....Team EOS will not be looking at it for such info. It is just for info sharing by users.

Point 2 - Team EOS has stated directly that app issues are usually not rom bugs so don't report them as such. If you have an issue with how Netflix is working with Ics, take it up with Netflix.

Point 3 - what you are really looking for is advice on how to optimize Netflix on this rom....in that case I would say asking for that either here or in the wiki is perfectly reasonable...just don't report it as a bug and don't expect Team EOS to feel the need to "fix" it.

Lastly....who are you or me or anyone else to tell Team EOS how to run their rom or their xda thread?
[Xoom Android Development] ricardowec:
Dirtyyyyyy... your post is completely inappropriate. If you are in no mood to flash every so often either you are in the wrong place or you have two options:

1) Stay in a build that fits you and does not pervert your Xoom.

2) Go back to stock and stay there waiting. Software never stops improving.
[Xoom Android Development] dirtyyy:
Yeah, your right it was a bit of a troll question.

I appologise I was angry at the time. But beleive me I am loving ICS so far and every few days im eager to flash a new nightly.

Nice work Eos and thanx for the heads up!
[Xoom Android Development] solarnz:
Actually feature requests should go to http://www.google.com/moderator/#15/e=1c65cb first. This enables users to vote on their features. When we accept a feature request, generally it will have a bugzilla bug assigned to it.
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
For those of you who have very low /system storage, flash this zip.

Facial Recognition Binary Symlinker

This symlinks about 25MB of facial recognition binaries from /system/vendor/pittpatt to /data/pittpatt. I've ran this for a day and works perfect afaik.

Flash at anytime, it will maintain your facial recognition data if you already have it set up.
[Xoom Android Development] nukedukem:
I'm wondering if removing Titanium Backup from the ROM might be an option too? I don't mind removing it myself along with the other apps I don't need on /system and in the gapps package, but that would give some more room for a bootanimation or something small like that. It's convenient to have Titanium Backup there if you're installing fresh, but it doesn't need to be taking up space in a cramped /system partition. Again, that's just an idea and removing that stuff myself isn't a problem.
[Xoom Android Development] jrezin:
It is nice, all true and all... but I would be REALLY nice if it didn't require your e-mail address to be public...

Hey everyone. Have any of you had issues with the flash on your camera causing problems where pictures turn out washed out and waaaay too bright? Is there a way to fix this? Please tell me I'm not alone. My xoom never had this issue with honeycomb. Thanks everyone.

Thanks for the reply but exactly what settings do I play with? It seems that the flash itself is too bright. Where can i tweak these settings? I can't find them within the camera. Thank you.

Change the exposure. It's the icon with the +/- symbols.

I have never found a need to wipe anything before flashing an update..and yes, very stable.

Have you updated TB to the newest version (lots of fixes recently). Are you trying to restore Apps+Data?

If you haven't done the former, do so; if you are doing the latter, stop for all that is holy.
[Xoom Android Development] zorbakun:
what's the changelog for nighty 55?
[Xoom Android Development] rschenck:
Since it is empty and this is Saturday Night/Sunday Morning, I would wager that there were no changes in this Nightly. Those happen sometimes...enjoy the rest Team Eos.
[Xoom Android Development] matw01:
yes the latest version of titanium backup and im trying to restore apps with data but not system data, is that not ok?
[Xoom Android Development] rschenck:
App + Data has been known to get a bit hinky for some apps, so try to restore just the App, see if it still hangs. Best Practice I have found is to restore App only except for those few apps where Apps + Data is absolutely necessary.
[Xoom Android Development] matw01:
Its strange because im sure it worked in previous builds, i will try installing app only now and let you know how i get on.

Try reinstalling from the Market then.
[Xoom Android Development] matw01:
can i do that?, im using titanium backup that is preinstalled with the rom, it won't let me uninstall it.
[Xoom Android Development] rschenck:
No, try reinstalling the app that is hanging from the Market, rather then restoring it from TB...
[Xoom Android Development] matw01:
apparently where's my water is not compatible with my xoom now according to the market so i'll have to just leave that app for now, plenty of others though that stalled it.

The pre-update version runs fine on Xoom. I'll grab the update from my evo3d.
