I tried replacing the bootanimation.zip in /system/media with your file through Root Explorer app , but it wouldn't let me (using Nightly #39 with GAPPS 10.3 on XOOM WiFi only). So I tried deleting the file so that I can just copy your file to that location, but it would not even allow me to delete the zip file. Could this be a permissions issue? Am I doing it incorrectly? I thought it was a simple copy & paste/overwrite.
[Xoom Android Development] Namheul:
It is a permissions problem.

Use ES File Explorer and make sure you enable the "root explorer" setting and "mount sdcard as read/write" (or something similar). Then you can delete/replace the file.
[Xoom Android Development] Braindefect:
Excellent! It worked like a charm! Thanks! :)

Nice Rom I'm enjoying it :D

1 bug and/or issue I've noticed is network speed seems to be slow I checked banwith and speed test and seems to me that its having trouble going past 220kbs anyone else have this problem?

More noticeable with Adownloader:confused:
[Xoom Android Development] Braindefect:
I've sifted through the discussion on this thread, and I haven't seen this mentioned, but if it was covered, I apologize for that. I was wondering if there is some sort of "app2sd" functionality on ICS much like there used to be on Gingerbread? Those Gameloft games can take almost 1GB each on just downloaded data. It would be nice if we could somehow offload some apps that take up such a big footprint onto our SD cards to free up more space and still be able to play/use them.
[Xoom Android Development] solarnz:
You have 32GB of internal storage, and your internal sdcard (internal storage) which is mounted at /sdcard is shared with the rest of your data partition.

There is no need for apps2sd.

Just made the transition from moray to nightlies ics. My god this is so awesome. No need to overclock the cpu or gpu. So smooth. Again team tiamat/eos. You guys did a great job. Thank you for all your efforts.

Hi all,

I updated to nightly 41 last night and everything was working great. I plugged it in and fully charged it. I powered it down this morning and didn't use it at all. This evening I went to use it and it's completely dead. Any insights?
[Xoom Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
Any progress on the Android OS eating the battery bug? Took it off the charger this am and it sat in the case till now (15 hours) and I'm at 50%. That's with GPS off too! On honeycomb I would be at like 95% right now.
[Xoom Android Development] REHolt218:
Most days I leave the house at 6:30am with a fully charged Xoom. I use the device at work throughout the day on both wifi and 4g. When not using 4g I turn it off so the radio does not consume power. When I return home at 5:30pm in the evening I am generally at around 45% or better, I generally continue to use my Xoom all evening and put it on the charger at around 10:00pm at about 15 - 25% . That seems like pretty good battery life to me.

The only exception is if i need to use my USB HDD. Since it is powered directly off of the xoom USB port, if i use it for long I generally need to plug my xoom in to charge.

It could be that you have software installed that is contributing to the battery drain.
[Xoom Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
I think we have different ideas of good tablet battery life. Before ICS I could use my Xoom the way you described and still have 50% battery left at the end. My Xoom could sit idle for over a week on a full charge before going dead. Now as with all the other ics roms the Android OS process eats the phone or tablet battery like crazy. Out if the 15 hours my Xoom was untouched and not even connected to wifi today, the Android OS app kept it awake 11.45 hours. I'd post a screen shot but long press recent apps isn't working for some reason.
[Xoom Android Development] scottgti:
Long press power and volume down.
[Xoom Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
Tried that but I couldn't get it to work. I'll try again

Edit: had to take it off the dock first :rolleyes:
[Xoom Android Development] M_Cheevy:
One thing that might help is to get a wifi optimiser that you can set to disable wifi when the Xoom is sleeping. I find when I'm travelling across town, the wifi is frequently scanning for networks. This seems to hit the battery pretty hard.
[Xoom Android Development] neblap:
That is strange, are you sure that there is not a rogue app keeping Android OS running? I only say this because I have not seen excessive battery drain.

Took my Xoom off charge at just after 10PM last night. Used it for a while before going to bed, about 20-30 minutes or so and then put it on my bedside cabinet, not on charge. Got up this morning at 7:10AM and still have 96% charge. I have been using on and off since I got up, checked email and caught up on the news and social media and now at 8:45AM I still have 93% charge left.
[Xoom Android Development] rschenck:
My experience is pretty much like yours and I agree with your assessment. Some app is keeping the Xoom awake by running in the background.

I would start by trying to eliminate the usual culprits like Latitude and any app that likes to check in with Google a lot.
[Xoom Android Development] afpapa:
Does this have to do with the "deep sleep" issue that has been mentioned is varius threads about Xoom and ICS? I usually shut down my Xoom so I don't have enough information to add.
[Xoom Android Development] ggrant3876:
Mines been off the charger for 18 hours and only down 2%, put it in airplane mode when you're not using it.
[Xoom Android Development] solarnz:
Don't forget to check out tonights build (#43) for full ntfs write support via ntfs-3g on automatically mounted usb-otg drives!

Also don't forget they mount at /media/usb, not /mnt/usbOTG like they used to.
[Xoom Android Development] kuroz91:
+1

switching to airplane mode (and killing all running apps) when not using it. The battery last for 4-5 days, using it 2-3 hours per day. It is more than correct I assume.

Moto advertised the xoom could last 9 hours, it is what I noticed on EOS ICS (OC 1.6ghz/UV, autobacklight & airplane mode when in standby), even more.

I cannot compare to HC (flashed to ics the day I bought the Xoom). How does the battery perform compared to HC stock?
[Xoom Android Development] joshndroid:
at this point... HC is still a little better than ICS when it comes to battery life.. however, it will come to par if not better in the future im sure
[Xoom Android Development] joeyddr:
i get a little better battery with ics with the same use.....
[Xoom Android Development] joshndroid:
Hmm... Seems odd to me.. I notice mine goes way quicker on ics which is definitely noticable now that i have games to play since the build prop changes i find that exacerbates it.. Especially notice it with the same games i play from HC

Sent from my mind control device
[Xoom Android Development] n7slc:
The really odd thing is that my Xoom wasn't "soft off" or on standby, I hit the power down so it was supposed to be completely off. Are the things still consuming power when they're completely off?

Hmm..., I guess they'd have to be to keep the clock accurate.
[Xoom Android Development] burden010:
There's a changelog for 6-8 in this thread, there's one on the nightly repo for 8-9 and the only change for 9-10 is bluetooth.
[Xoom Android Development] motazsayed:
what build are you currently on??
[Xoom Android Development] rschenck:
Remember that when you are working from a Nightly system, the changes between builds may be small...in fact there may be no difference at all between Build34 and Build 35.

That is unlike the system that releases builds only when there has been a major bug fix, significant change, or the changelog hits a page.

Just different styles...personally I am all for Nightlies. They mean that we always have something new to tinker with and updates are less extreme, therefore less likely to break anything.

[ROM][Nightly][ICS] Team Eos nightlies. (Motorola Xoom Wifi Only)

Hi , just flashed #10 over #8 without any wipe/factory reset, then flashed Gapps and all seems ok. BT seems to be working fine.

Ty Team Eos
[Xoom Android Development] laur3n.newm4n:
I am on build 8 right now, flashed yesterday. I was having problems getting the Calendar in the Gapps flash to sync with my Google account AND my Exchange account. The Calendar that was in these nightlies synched just fine with my Exchange account.

To those of you having issues with Google Calendar, I suggest pulling out the Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk from the nightlies and installing them after you've flashed the Gapps. You'll have two calendar apps, but you could use Titanium to freeze or uninstall the one that doesn't work.

After I did this, all my calendars sync just fine.
[Xoom Android Development] Addicteddddd:
Yep i know :) just wondered what the actual changelog was so I could decide whether or not it was worth updating, I'll trawl through the thread and see if i can find the updates as that's all i was asking for! :)

[Xoom Android Development] JasonJoel:
CIFS.KO

Anyone have CIFS mounting working on this? Using CIFSManager, or other?

I tried the CIFS.KO module from 3.2, but they didn't work. I'm guessing that we need updated ones for ICS (?).

[Xoom Android Development] Epsis:
Using this ROM as somewhat of a daily driver, hardly any issues so far. 3D games like GTA III and Minecraft work great (GTA crashed once or twice early on). All of my old honeycomb apps like Quickoffice work fine, Google Earth puts up a bit of a fight though.

No camera for obvious reasons, but GPS and Bluetooth work flawlessly for me, I can use my keyboard pretty easily (although the sticky key issue in Honeycomb is still around). Gmail works great, although Calendar is a little more temperamental. Great job :D
[Xoom Android Development] dadoc04:
thanks Team Eos
[Xoom Android Development] btate0121:
So GTA is running now? How were you able to get it running, via a hack or is this native?

I like this team, cause they share us every thing they got. I got an Sony Arc, the team called freexperia have make CM9 ICS ROM this phone, like they said now just 2 things not work is gsm data, camera. But 2 weeks now still have no alpha release, maybe they just release when all bugs is fixed and maybe it will take a year :D
[Xoom Android Development] burden010:
Some devs are reluctant to put out anything but stable releases because some (not all) people don't realise what unstable means. I've seen it more than once when a dev has put out an alpha build and has taken a lot of flak in the thread because of missing or unstable features.

I'm SO glad that Team Eos have put out these nightlies as it gives us a chance to play but a lot of people just want stability.
[Xoom Android Development] kev0153:
I'm also glad that this thread hasn't imploded like the alpha build for ICS thread (now locked) on the G2x thread.
[Xoom Android Development] donghungx:
Yeah, but better they can just share and all devs can help right? i remember one guy in this room, he said have sucsessful port galaxy tabs ROM for Xoom, and he tell us just wifi not work, he will upload when wifi work, i dont know he lies or not, but if is true, if he upload so tiamat team can help us for wifi right? other devs can help also. Now he disappear. i know alot people just want stability but we are not Motorola, so we can't provide stability rom in one time :D

Solarnz;

Still no joy on the usbOTG hard disk drive. I am on Stingray with a 4g device, but based on the changelogs they should be the same. Not sure what I should see in ics if it works (notification, ask permission, etc...) but I get nothing. I went to both media and /mnt but it's not mounted. I also uninatalled USB MSW and tried but still nothing. USB MSW tells me it is connected but won't mount it and sometimes locks up.

Would logcat help? Or any other information?

Edit: I also went to setup, storage and tried to manually mount USB device but it still did nothing.
[Xoom Android Development] clotai:
are you sure that your hard drive got enough power ?

in my experience, I need to charge my device in order to get my usb hard drive working,

but after that, i can continue to use without charing my device.

[Xoom Android Development] liftman-:
according to the change log, the changes for ntfs stuff where entered @ 3:55 to 3:56.

the stingray build started @ 3:34 might not have made it in, since it is a auto build.

[Xoom Android Development] jasons219:
I am installing over Tiamat Xoom Rom 2.2.2 and I performed a complete wipe along with dalvik cache. I finally rebooted into recovery and performed another wipe and installed the rom and gapps again with the same results. So I rebooted and install just the rom and now I'm running ICS. Played around with it for a few minutes and went back to recovery to install gapps and now everything is working great.
[Xoom Android Development] PMDColeslaw:
I'm going to freeze G+ and see if that's the culprit. I know that it was causing a lot of issues on the NS4G ICS roms, maybe it's the same here. I'll let you know what I find out. I'm glad it's just me and not everyone. Means there's definitely a fix. Thanks!

[Xoom Android Development] AzN1337c0d3r:
I noticed in the changelog that the kernel was updated to one with GPU overclocking. Is there a way to turn this on/off?
[Xoom Android Development] Rob116:
For some mysterious reason, the animation was causing people's wallpapers to revert to stock after a reboot. It seems to have been caused by the fact I used pngs instead of jpgs (which is not unusual) . I've got no idea why that would cause the problem, but in any case, it's fixed!
[Xoom Android Development] nukedukem:
You would have to compile the kernel with that enabled. I did a quick unscientific test and was confused by the results. I compiled the kernel with no overclock and ran a nenamark 2 bench, then recompiled with the gpu overclocked and ran the benchmark again. Went from about 19 fps to 21 fps. With a 33% overclock, that didn't seem right. Then I ran a quadrant and only scored ~800 despite the graphics tests showing no difference in frame rate than the non-overclocked kernel. Seems that something was choking the system with the overclocked gpu. May have just been something else going on, but that was my quick 15 minute results.

Got build 43.

Anyone has a clue why under Backup & reset the Backup account option is grayed and says 'No account is currently storing backed up data' ?

Also I've noticed that some apps that were previously installed don't appear in MyMarket as being installed, if I go uninstall/install I get an error for that app.
[Xoom Android Development] Ranger666:
I noticed that too.

Also the google music update bug seems to be back with build 43 and gapps 10.3.

Anyone else getting it? I did a clean install of build 43.
[Xoom Android Development] GeekyGuy:
Mine is fine, showing my account. Also apps are updating/installing fine from the market. I did a dirty install over top of Build 42

[Xoom Android Development] dj_ghosie:
Hi Nusince,

Any chance to update the information on Gapps? Would be less confusing for newbies to this ROM.

Great work, kepp up!
[Xoom Android Development] RMerlin:
The default backup transport now uses Google (like the real Motorola firmware does) so stuff like Wifi settings are stored on Google's servers. Previously this was stored in the Xoom's internal cache, that got wiped out on Factory default reset.

First, make sure you did enable backup (checkbox just above). After that, backup location should be clickable - click on it to associate it to your GMail account (assuming you did configure one).

If you still can't click on a backup location, use the following adb command from your PC to force it to switch to the new backup transport (I'm not sure if this happens automatically when flashing without wiping). With the Xoom connected over USB and set to USB Debugging:

adb shell bmgr transport com.google.android.backup/.BackupTransportService

(requires Android SDK to be installed)

After that, go back to the Backup section in your settings, make sure backups are enabled, then click on the backup location to point it at your GMail account.

Make sure you do run a recent Gapps (I tested this with either 10.2 or 10.3 last night).

---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------

Just tested it with a wipe, and it seems there is still something broken related to Google backups indeed. I might do some more tinkering with this over the weekend and see if I can figure it out.

I'm finding that the "request desktop site" button rarely gets me the desktop version of a site. Would it be possible for the devs to add an option to the browser to permanently request the desktop site?

[Xoom Android Development] RMerlin:
Good news - I tracked down the last piece of the puzzle related to backing up your settings to Google's servers :) A future gapps release from the EOS folks should resolve it for people who are unable to set their backup accounts.

Those like me who haven't wiped their device since using an older gapps should still have the required backup transport properly registered. That's why it was working for some, but not for other people.
[Xoom Android Development] razz0r1980:
cool - So I got build 43 - so far so good :-)

One question tho - when I got my Xoom yesterday on HC 3.1 - when I signed in to my google account it restored apps from my galaxys automatic - but on this new ICS it didn't :/ can you force it to?

Or is this just apart of the backup issue above?

**The stock 4.0.3 update rom doesn't have this issue - restored all apps with no problems ;)
[Xoom Android Development] torespen:
Does not Your eyes work? :) LOL

Look at the previous posts :)

There is something wrong with the transfere protocols in the latest Gapps that causes it :) (if i have understood it right)

Someone is probably working on a fix for it :)
[Xoom Android Development] Rob116:
So, did something significant change with this nightly? It seems noticeably snappier than 43. I assume gpu oc got a bit more of a bump (changelog isn't too specific)?

Then again, maybe I'm imagining things...

Update on mounting thumb drive and Passport HDD

On build #44 (very sweet!) and tested out both my USB thumb drive and my 650GB HDD......

Thumb drive (fat32)mounts automatically upon being plugged in and the volume is found at media/usb and shows up in settings/storage/usb.

HDD (ntfs) requires that I use Drive Mount (app) and it mounts at mnt/sda1, and was not visible in settings/storage/usb.

I'm quite satisfied, as I can access my files with either drive, but I'm curious why the two drives would be treated differently.
