back to the important stuff..... Dreamcwli, was multi user support added in your 4.2 port? and where were the navigation buttons? in the center, or on the left like we're used to?
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
Multi-user can be activated by overriding a config value. Sadly notification bar and navigation bar become the same as in the phone. Since code of old tablet style has not been removed, I think it is possible to bring it back.
[Xoom Android Development] WarLion:
why bring back the nexus 10 will be in the center I can go with the new ui. we need to remember that 4.2 is an update why keeping us in older versions

[Xoom Android Development] arrtoodeetoo:
Just because it's a new version of the UI doesn't mean everyone considers it an "update." Maybe some of us want the more efficient version of the UI that also gives us more screen real estate. The new UI sucks. That's just my opinion, but I hardly see it as an upgrade.
[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:
How about you through up a copy in general? Something we bleeding edge guys can play with?

Please, and thank you
[Xoom Android Development] PearlMikeJam:
+1. I think the move to the phone UI is a step backwards. Android on tablets is less differentiated from iOS now. I really prefer the current UI. I will probably try 4.2 because I need multi users, not because of the UI.
[Xoom Android Development] Eun-Hjzjined:
What needs to be done is to get rid of the dam combined bar and notification strip all together.

Google needs to buy the code that GMD put into his gesture controll app and make action gestures ubiquitous over android.

Keep the pull down from left/rght , but open up the screen, get rid of permanantly fixed place soft keys.
[Xoom Android Development] Omertron:
I'm not sure I like the phone style notification and quick launch bar on a tablet either. I think they take up too much screen real estate.

However, whatever device I buy in the future is likely to go this way too, so we might as well get used to it now rather than later. That all important muscle memory needs to get re-trained and I'm sure in a couple of weeks we'll all have forgotten about the old "inefficient" way :D
[Xoom Android Development] bearklaws:
That took about 3 minutes...loaded 155 build in goo...thanks...I rebooted in CWM and tried to back up and still can not find sd card... Looks like i will go the long road just to get all working right....thanks for all the help every one...
[Xoom Android Development] alex94kumar:
Don't start getting frustrated everyone, we all know one of our developers will probably have a nav bar UI mod in all of 3 hours after the official build is out lol
[Xoom Android Development] petrossa:
I also tend to think any 'upgrade' needs to be an improvement. Weird that as soon as you say that people are all over you about being unable to handle 'change'. As with the idiotic w8 UI, à touch ui on the a pc, putting a phone ui on a tablet is absurd. The only phone calls I'd make would be Skype or something. For the rest I use my phone. Which Btw would be as absurd with a tablet ui.

[Xoom Android Development] NoP_Compiler:
Exactly.

I only need 4.2 due to that.

And I don't agree with "xoom's EOL". The tablet is capable of running 4.2, it's just that they (motorola, other vendors...) want to sell us new hardware.

wrong thread sorry
[Xoom Android Development] Eun-Hjzjined:
Well, duh. Its the new official showcase for the 10inch class.

Methinks the Xoom only lived this long, under AOSP, because its a Motorola device and was really the only game in town when it came to a solid, fully featured tablet. Read sdcard and hdmi without stupid attachments.

I really think that if they do their job right, well see AOSP some time in the next 4 months, and even if we don't BRD, solarnz and the rest of EOS will bring it.

Really looking forward to what EOS does with it. Now I'm just hoping as well, that I'll see it for my i957 but I'm not going to hold my breath.
[Xoom Android Development] romdroid.:
That is understood mate but the Xoom can run 4.2 without any problem. It will come anyway and I have confidence that the awesome developers will make the Xoom last forever :good:

A dev has released 4.2 for android with minor bugs. By the time Team EOS comes out with their version of JB, we can enjoy 4.2 goodness on our Xoom.

Confirmed: The tablet UI is still included in Android (at least for now), and Paranoid Android has fixed most of the bugs that Google was having problems with in the code.

LINK.
[Xoom Android Development] PearlMikeJam:
From that link it sounds like the Xoom would need a Paranoid Android port to take advantage of the Tablet UI in the 4.2 code without bugs.
[Xoom Android Development] arrtoodeetoo:
Or EOS could just look at the code to see what they fixed?
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
I can confirm the classic tablet system bar is available in Android 4.2 and can be used in a simple manner.
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Or Eos could could not waste their time with others code and write our own better code :silly:

Jk the Paranoid guys are most talented indeed. But I've already ported tmobile Theme Engine. And we will likely do something similar to what we did on N7. Dynamic on the fly realtime bar change. So you can use whatever bar you want when you want. That sounds better to me. 4.2 has been pushed to eos servers. However the servers are having technical difficulties atm. But I've been most busy working locally until the servers act right. So we will definitely hit the ground running.
[Xoom Android Development] Jumbie:
Given the bugs reported to be plaguing 4.2, does it make any sense to wait until Google pushes out an update?

[Xoom Android Development] DefinityX:
Hmm... Just tried downloading a movie from the Google Play Movies and TV app... Getting an error "Couldn't fetch license (error: 0)"

From the research I could do atm, seems some custom ROMs have DRM issues... Curious, on the recent builds, could we have crossed (or unconnected might be the better metaphor) wires in the lib files somewhere?
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
IIRC play movies doesn't work with root. Don't worry we'll be on 4.2 soon anyway.
[Xoom Android Development] DefinityX:
Actually, Google removed that ban earlier this year... I was using it like mad not that long ago. (But honestly, the last time I tried was probably way back when we were using 4.1.1 source code)...

4.2 - :drooling:

:sob: Just found my first dead pixels on my Xoom... Looks like I may end up getting a Nexus 10 sooner than I had planned...
[Xoom Android Development] brodgar:
I ran into this problem a few weeks ago w/ Google Play. You can fix it by removing (or moving) the files from /system/vendor/lib and /system/vendor/lib/drm. Oddly enough, the presence of the DRM files causes a DRM failure, but the absence allows it to work.

[Xoom Android Development] Booga Booga:
Just wondering if anyone else gets this.

Whenever I turn my Xoom on from long periods of not using it (usually let it sit overnight), there appears on the screen that "x app has stopped responding. Wait report close." are the options. I'm on 155 too. This just started happening a few days ago. Its really no big deal just wanted people to be aware of it.
[Xoom Android Development] MARIANOTE:
good news!

4.2 will come like an update or a totally new rom?

Good job! Thanks
[Xoom Android Development] mylegiscramped:
Well it looks pretty! I think I'd skip out on the extra soft key though. To much wasted real estate.

Pretty excited to give it a go though.

On another note from time to time I notice my Xoom on 155 being a bit laggy, but a reboot seems to fix it. Nothing serious just seems to slow down after a day or two of use, though I should really reboot every couple days anyway.

[Xoom Android Development] Dyelon:
Hey guys. Long time EOS user here.

My Xoom is currently performing terribly. I dont know why and its most likely because it has never been truly reset.

How do I do a true factory reset? The option in recovery never actually wipes the internal memory. I'll just put the tibu folder on my SD card along with eos 3.0 #155 and flash it afterwards.

Thanks in advance.
[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:
If using twrp ( and why wouldn't you?) Format data in recovery will wipe the internal data. And a factory reset will wipe the rest.

Or

In fast boot

fastboot erase userdata

Also keep in mide don't restore any system apps.

And I know some of you will tell me I'm wrong... But I'll say it anyways. If you want to do a clean install for performance reasons why don't you try just letting Google restore your apps and not use tibu, in my years of android use I've seen more people have problems when using tibu, just try it once and see if you notice a difference. I'm not saying don't make a backup, but restore the old fashion way and give it a week. I'm sure your see a better user experience.

Sigh i did not. I definitely should have. Hm I might have old nandroids that could have the app data I need....maybe I will extract them like you said...thanks dude
[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:
A suggestion.

Now that you have twrp installed if you don't already have it, grab goo.im app from the market, it uses what's called open script recovery ( which twrp uses) from there u can setup to install a ROM, gapps, and also have it create a backup for u, so when u download a rom u can have it perform all sorts of tasks and then click flash and it will boot into recovery, and based on what u had specified it to do, you can do a backup, factory reset, then flash ROM and them gapps and it will do it automatically then boot back to new ROM all on its own. And then u can always have a fresh backup if its needed, remember its always easier to delete an unneeded backup than to not have one.

I was using MX player pro before starting i killed all with the EoS kill all button (this is in settings interface if you need to find the setting for it) it displays in recent apps, this clears the ram. Ran fine for me hope this helps.

It's a MKV format and using MX Payer.

Tried restarting the device before playing assuming this way there won't be any background app running.
[Xoom Android Development] sonicaholic:
I'll just run through what I have see how you go, I don't alter these per video they do me for all.

List ticked: show thumbs, respect no media, allow edit menu.

Player: preview on seek, fast seeking, stop other players, smart previouse button (I use GDM gestures no notification bar) volume boost.

Decoder: use hardware+ decoder, use hardware+ decoder (local)

Subtitles: enable subtitles, H/W acceleration

General: play video links, quit button.

I should point out I only use 1080p when I have no 720p of that film as there's no real benefit to watching a 1080p on this device like others have pointed out.
[Xoom Android Development] NoP_Compiler:
I recently found that my Xoom was unable to play 720p and 1080p videos that a cheap 160 EUR chinese tablet with a MALI400 GPU (quad) was able to play.
