Looks like its time for me to start saving up for a nexus 7 or another more advanced android device. But I'm gonna keep my media player for sentimental purposes. Time to get a job, cause convincing my parents wont be easy....*sigh* I digress.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Ace42:
Ditto.

My birthday is on the 23rd also. :laugh:

I've been thinking about ditching my Galaxy Player for a Nexus 7 also but I need a dedicated MP3 player for the gym and car so I'm sticking with my GP for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Wow, crazy! O_o

I'm turning 16, what about you??

Back on topic, I certainly hope the galaxy player scene doesn't die, and I will try to keep helping in what little ways I do.

The day has finally come! Android 4.1 source code has released!

On the other side of things, hope that your education goes as planned.:D

It doesn't matter if my parents go mad (they hate electronic "screens" even more than your parents do), and buy me an SGSIII and I buy myself the Nexus 7 (guess which on is more likely ;)), I will keep developing for the 4.0. I don;t believe that a high-activity device like the Nexus 7 will need my devving help, and neither does the transformer. I may slow down a bit initially as I play around with my 7, but I will always be here, at least maintaining my existing threads, until my SGP burns out, or somehow gets broken. I will stay here for the community, because I would rather help where help is needed than become another "me too" rom in a popular section, and be almost no help whatsoever.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] caseyatbt:
Wow, double whammy. Rueben and klin stepping back. I use both of their roms for my 4.0 and 5.0. Good luck to both of you. Seems like development was just starting to really ramp up.

Thanks for all your efforts here, I know we all appreciate it!

This sucks. A lot... looks like I'm gonna be trying to compile jb from source tomorrow.. I will try and take an initiative as to bring more development to the sgp..
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
If one generation of devs are moving on/slowing down on dev work then new devs will have to step up and continue the work. If anyone ever needs any help with development then just pm me and I will try to help

Nice to know that I have inspired people to port ROM's lol, Im sad that im leaving as well great community support here and very friendly, unlike some other forums ive been on lol :p I hope that you guys can get JB running fine !
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Ace42:
17. But I hope the Player will be able to receive Jelly Bean before support drops.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Wow, one year off, so close! I hope they get jb too, although the 4.0 doesn't even have ics! I am trying to figure out xml editing so I can maybe make a rom.

True.

I don't see why the 4.0 doesn't have ics if the 5.0 does. I thought the 4.0 at least had an ICS port from the 5.0 . :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
The thing is porting AOSP based roms is not as simple as porting stock based rom. The reason is TDM (the previous dev) decided to change completly the partition layout to MTD/Yaffs2 than BML/STL layout. that's mean in short we need a kernel to make it work and porting for 5.0 is easier in that case.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] shivam89:
I'm a bit sad that some of you great developers are leaving the scene, I got my SGP5.0 two weeks ago and I already installed a custom ROM from you devs, I'm now also getting into ROM development but I'm a bit struggling to get my ROM to boot (thats off-topic sorry)

But everybody thanks for your work and hope I will see you again in this forum or maybe another one! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
I think the term 'winding down' is more appropriate as most of the devs including myself will still be around, just doing less work for this device. I will be focusing more on helping new devs here than doing actual dev work but as my summer holidays start after next week I might be able to continue devving for a few more weeks

[HTC EVO 3D] AndrBoy:
Hi,

I was on stock ICS, with (re)locked bootloader and s-on.

I've unlocked the bootloader, loaded 4ext recovery and flashed (su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip) as was suggested in friend.evil's thread

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1743466)

The whole process (I did part A and Part B without loading leedroid kernel) went fine, and I even have the Superuser app, but when I clicked on it I got

"Superuser has stopped unexpectedly. Would you like to tell HTC?"

and apps that require root privileges say that the phone might not be rooted.

I've tried updating the app through the play store, but it didnt help.

What should I do? :crying:

Will flashing su 3.1.3 now will damage my device? will it help?

Thank you very much !:)
[HTC EVO 3D] R0M CHEF:
Flashing that su wont affect revive I would tale su from a bin of custom ron and put in ir system bin then reboot
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
I like the app from the Play Store called SuperSU. You could try too install that instead.

Go to this site by a guy called angelos. He has collected a list of Roms from xda and is updated constantly.

Only posted coz I know people on here don't like to read :-)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] corcovo:
This site is REALLY good.

I would really like it, if I could read a short description of the ROMs somewhere like:

- very fast ROM

- very reliable

- quite experimantal (not so stable)

- works with s-pen ...

Would be nice to have a short profile for each ROM, because I still cannot decide which ROM to try out.

Of course Angelo couldn't do it all on his own. But maybe people could give a description here. I am still missing some categories for ROMs.

Greetings
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] acdekker:
Thanks for sharing the link! Very handy when you like to flash a new rom
[Xoom General] KennyG123:
I am making this sticky thread to allow discussion of all other tablets and theie comparison to the Xoom. Feel free to discuss thoughts on upgrading, specs, and value of swapping. Please respect other members and their opinions. Flaming is against forum rules so again please be respectful.

Thanks

FNM
[Xoom General] DsturbD:
well as i just ordered my Xoom yesterday and it should be at my house this afternoon, and since it is my first tablet, i will say that i did a lot of research (no hands on though) on a few tablets before i decided to get the Xoom.

what i like about it is its history as being the first tablet with Honeycomb and one of the first to get ICS. And now will be one of the first to get JB so a big plus is the support for the device. Couple that with Google's purchase of Motorola and it seems like a match made in heaven :)

i know there are smaller, thinner, lighter tablets out there, but for the price and specs, its more than i need and i am sure i will be very happy with it
[Xoom General] okantomi:
I'll take this opportunity to say that imho, the OG Xoom on team EOS ROM is still the best tablet currently available. It will be even better once it has been updated to Jelly Bean (Android 4.1) later in July.

I have been hankering for a new toy and have been looking at the Nexus 7, in part because I know that team EOS is going to be developing for it. But I'm wondering if I'll really be happy with it, seeing as it is missing some important features (especially no sdcard slot). 7 inch form factor is really nice for reading and gaming. It's easy to carry around too, but I have no problems carrying my Xoom in my backpack. I'm not sure about getting it yet, but no matter, it certainly won't replace my Xoom.

I am kind of interested in the Transformer Infinity when it comes out, again because Team EOS may develop for it, but it's not a nexus tablet... Then, there may be a 10 inch nexus tablet coming out later in the year. What to do?
[Xoom General] Chaosgod27:
I think the XOOM is one hell of an excellent device that would last me for a few more years. Has great people backing it up and making this tablet one of the best for the long run. To be exactly honest I was never in the tablet market, but by chance I had $400 AUD left over from my HTPC build so I decided to spend it on the XOOM. Probably one of the best choices I had done, but also another problem I don't use my tablet all that often, since there is no need. I'm always in front of a computer or laptop so my tablet just sits there. But I'm trying to use it for other things, such as reading eBooks and mangas. Though I just do all of that on my phone, but on the tablet is a lot more nicer with the big HD screen. In short, I have no need for another tablet even if I got it for free it be sitting right next to my XOOM collecting dust, and I rather use the XOOM since it has a tough feel to it. The Australian MZ601 is very well built!
[Xoom General] 1215kids:
Xoom is KING!

I've had the Xoom since it was first announced. (I was one of the lucky ones with a 25% off coupon, which they quickly ended) Since then I have bought and returned an Acer, an Asus, an iPad2, a Toshiba and have bought and kept an Archos 80 and a new iPad.

Having had and used various tablets I still prefer the Xoom for most uses. I have the Archos as a cheap backup if the Xoom goes down and I have the new iPad and use sometimes. The display is better than the Xoom but most other features are less useful than the Xoom.

I recently dropped the Xoom face down on the floor from my lap. I was sure I would have a broken screen. Apparently no worse for the wear. It Is Built Like A Tank.

ICS made the Xoom even more functional and if it should get JB then that would be even more reason to use and enjoy the zoom.

The new Google tablet sounds good but no micro sd card and no HDMI cripples it considerably.

Unless the Xoom gets broken or is stolen, I see no reason to update and there are no tablets on the horizon that interest me.
[Xoom General] jonsmith709:
Mine arrives Monday, cancelled my nexus 7 for it. As soon as it arrives in going to flash the US Rom to make it a Google device....thanks to XDA :)
[Xoom General] yosterwp:
I've yet to see a tablet that is as good as the XOOM. Period.
[Xoom General] 063_XOBX:
While I love my Xoom (first tablet and it's done a great job of making my netbook pretty much pointless) I wouldn't say that it's better than anything else out there. IMO the screen on the Xoom leaves a lot to be desired contrast wise especially compared to the Tab 2.
[Xoom General] dannykavs:
I also just picked up a Xoom. I've been in the market for a tablet over the last few weeks and considered a bunch. While the Ipad does offer a lot app wise, the additional tablet apps just didnt interest me. So ios was a non starter.

I use a Gnex and love it to death. I figure I'll stick with the google ecosystem. As soon as I found out the Xoom was getting Jellybean my mind was all but made up. I have a jellybean rom running on my nexus and it seriously does perform at another level. It just made me realize that I didnt need the latest quad core processor to run like a beast. So with that In mind I didnt go out searching for the latest tegra 3 android tablet. I've tried other android phones that werent stock android and I never enjoyed them.

Here's what I love about the Xoom:

- built like a tank, some say its too big...I love quality feel it has

- micro sd slot, thanks

- hdmi out, wicked

- in line for Jellybean in a few weeks

- everything works like it should...wifi, gps, cameras

Its not the flashiest tablet...doesnt have a cutting edge processor.....no next gen display....it just does the job for me.
[Xoom General] rubber guard:
as long as the next full size (read: 10.1/8.9) Nexus/GED has a good processor (1.5+) and has decent screen to go along with vanilla jb, ill be on board.

Ill be on board faster if google is selling it w/ the same strategy as the Nexus 7.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Yeah, I agree that hardware-wise, the Xoom is no longer bleeding edge, but software-wise, there is nothing really out there on ICS to touch it, and with Jelly bean custom roms that will come, this thing is going to scream. Right now, everything just works (on the configuration in my signature, at least), and that's more than some android tablets can claim. Transformer Prime, I'm talking about you, lol...

One thing I really hate is the disrespect the Xoom gets outside of the Xoom community, and it's started to resurface again now that the Nexus 7 is being called the 1st "nexus" tablet, when we know that that was actually the OG Xoom. I'm still torn about whether I want to add a Nexus 7 to my stable of Android devices, or wait for something more satisfying.
[Xoom General] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
I too have been itching for an upgrade to my release day Xoom but once I loaded the JB ROM I realized what a waste of $200 the Nexus 7 would be. The Xoom on JB will satisfy me until the next version of Android which I will bet the Xoom will get though unofficially. It has been an up and down past year-and-a-half for the Xoom but one I don't regret and look forward to another year at least.
[Xoom General] yosterwp:
I always felt that what the xoom lacks in hardware, it makes up in software. I completely agree about the screen. But with the xoom, that same screen is going to be showing jelly bean officially. Speaking of Jelly Bean I can't wait for it to drop on our xooms!

I guess its fair to say that the xoom does have some shortcomings, but so does all other tablets. But with the xoom, there is a good amount of support from Google and Motorola, being a GED at least in the U.S. That fuels development even more and it's a great thing when an awesome community backs the xoom too! In a way, it makes up for some of them.

But I completely understand what you were saying. Good point
[Xoom General] wesamothman:
Putting some thoughts here :)

I've owned many tablets in the past, ranging from Apple to Android. One thing for sure that made me love my xoom on top of many other tables is that Team EOS roms are great and their efforts developing customization are the one thing that makes me stick to the xoom.

When rooted, you feel like you have the power on top of your device to do anything you like. if you brick your device, it is still recoverable due to the amazing community support for it.

Price wise- it is affordable.

ROM size it a bit small compared to phones but ROM Images (system) are designed to fit just ok.

Screen: very responsive especially with ICS better than HC.

Charge time: very fast.

Speaking of JB, I don't have a single doubt that Team EOS would make it for us.
[Xoom General] tumpy:
To each his own, i love my little motorola, xoom first to get HC, ICS and soon to be JB, all of google (TM) product will get jb first, I wonder what samsung htc and sony will do for an OS when google stop releasing the source code, Motorola will be one step ahead of your samsung, htc and sony,..
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Since several threads were merged, this conversation has taken a bit of a turn, but to back-up your point, my Samsung GS2 E4GT phone still has not received the official upgrade to ICS, probably more due to Sprint than Sammy, but we are running custom roms based on leaked builds. They work fine but it's been quite a long time to wait for OTA and source.

The OG US Wifi Xoom has gotten every official upgrade just as fast as possible, and our devs get them to us even faster and much improved!

---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 PM ----------

Can you use it as a daily driver, or are you just test-driving right now until the full version comes along?

I will admit that I'm tempted to try it, but nightly 114 is already so smooth and lag-free that I'm at least pretty satisfied for daily use.
[Xoom General] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
I am sacrificing a lot test driving the JB preview. BT, sound, data isn't working but enough is working to at least show the smoothness and lag free experience we should expect with JB. I was getting tired of the lag when hitting the "recents" button, home screen scrolling etc. Much more responsive on JB but in hindsight I have lost more than I gained and it may not be worth it for most.
[Xoom General] gruhahn:
My Xoom

I'm running a stock Xoom M604 Xoom. It's running ICS, which was slow to rollout here in Canada, but it came all the same. The updating of the OS is one of /the reasons I chose Xoom. I use it for most day to day things, as well as using it to control a friends DLNA amp. The "variety" of apps available for Android and iOS are moot, as there are so many redundant and useless apps for both platforms. I like not being locked in by the manufacturers whim, which is why I won't consider an iPad or iPhone. Only complaint I have with my Xoom is scrolling between the desktops. Which is a minor complaint vs iOS, because we actually have desktops :-) I love the stock keyboard. It's large enough that I can still impress people with typing speed in Teamview sessions. I'm not a bleeding edge type, so thus far my Xoom has all the horsepower I need.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
OMG! EOS Jelly Bean! That's all I can say.
[Xoom General] bs296:
:) I completely agree and cannot wait another second for it.

I haven't personally tried any quad core tablet, however there's no comparison between my xoom and my old advent vega (which was good, but the viewing angles were terrible) and with my dad's galaxy tab 10". they're all terribly sluggish.
[Xoom General] DsturbD:
why wait? Team EOS has jelly bean builds for wingray and stingray
[Xoom General] razorseal:
Hey everyone,

Made this video to compare the 2., You can see the clear winner as far as 'butter' experience goes. I'm happy with both, but I thought I share :)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiKGUPNd03M
[Xoom General] musashiken:
Actually the xoom on jelly bean is smoother in landscape mode. It has always been like this. If you compare the xoom in landscape versus the nexus in portrait, you will see that the xoom is actually really close in speed.
[Xoom General] razorseal:
DISREGARD THAT I VIDEO, use this instead. I shut the live wallpaper off on xoom, and she sped up quite a bit use this video to analyze instead

http://youtu.be/4yVH53OD9UM

Ok well my thread got locked in favor of this one...

I know many people prefer this over that. Here are some reasons why I prefer my Xoom...

It's not so much the size, nexus 7 is pretty much minimum size, it works. But 10 is perfect for an portable tablet

4G LTE is awesome. Perfect example is today. We're doing OCIS at my armory today (gear inventory) and there is alot of downtime once hour gear is checked. I brought my Xoom with me and I'm able to browse the net and all other fun stuff while waiting for others to get checked. And im not draining the battery on my phone either.

It's fast enough for what I usually do, and that's browse the net.

I couldn't do these things with the nexus because it's lacking the cellular radios... :-)
[Xoom General] razorseal:
I will be checking to verify when I'm home, but how can that be?
[Xoom General] musashiken:
Hmm ever since honeycomb, the xoom is always smoother in landscape mode than in portrait mode. I suppose the tablet mode in android is more optimized for landscape mode. I thought that is the general experience for most xoom users?
[Xoom General] razorseal:
I never used it in portrait mode, maybe that's why. Lol
[Xoom General] DsturbD:
good comparisons, i may have missed it but did you change any of the EOS performance tweaks or did you leave it as is?

and also how did you enable the dock and the homescreen transitions? for the life of me i cant find those anywhere
[Xoom General] razorseal:
I'm not sure if eos has tweaks for jb yet. If yes, I didn't touch it.

They are in the desktop> scroll effect you need prime to get all of them
[Xoom General] DsturbD:
prime what? you using a different launcher?

and yeah the tweaks are in Settings under EOS Settings/Performance. you can change the cpu freqs and governor
[Xoom General] razorseal:
Ok I'll check those when I get home.

Prime is the paid version 'nova prime'
[Xoom General] DsturbD:
ahh ok, i've used nova, like it. thought you would have used pure stock for testing. ive been using holo and have seen some lag with it and other problems, so went back to stock launcher. just asking
[Xoom General] razorseal:
I see

I wasn't doing good anything scientific. Both using same launchers so i went with it.
[Xoom General] Cubanluke88:
Having owned a few non-Nexus/Google Experience devices, the Xoom is the way to go if you want a 10.1" screen and proper software updates/development. There are plenty of products out with better hardware and the Asus tablets have the sweet dock option and get nice updates, to be fair.

With that said, no regrets for me on my Xoom wifi. I'm really really really hoping we get a proper successor in the form of a 10.1" Nexus tablet. I won't be grabbing it as I feel the Xoom has plenty of life left, but a 10.1" Nexus Tablet line of products would be great and would give me hopes for a proper upgrade in 1-2 more years.
[Xoom General] DaPoets:
So I have really falling back in love with my 4G Xoom since EOS has been dropping JB nightlies. Running 112 right now and have yet to really find any issues except for my Xoom running smoother than it ever has lol. I can't really come up with a good reason to get a nexus 7 except for the fact that it is slightly more portable and perhaps could fit in a jacket pocket?
