Wanted to wait a full week from release so all the apps that don't work with JB could be updated. But...I am impatient. LoL Flashed this an hour and a half ago. Am already all set back up to where I was before the full wipe. Love it.

My favorite part. Keyboard Lag is fully gone. Like the cursor can keep up to me and my fast typing. Before it would lag a few words behind me when i got typing to fast. Then would discard words at the end. This is great. Another great ROM from EOS. Now to wait for all the app updates to make everything butter.

So do I need to install gapps after every update or not?
[Xoom Android Development] stonebear:
This is great, smoother than ICS.

The browser seems to load pages much more quickly.

I restored Flash using Titanium and BBCiPlayer works.

Great stuff. :)
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
Take the plunge...live a little!
[Xoom Android Development] afpapa:
No, only the first time and any time there are new Gapps or it is specifically mentioned by the developer.

I flashed 119 on top of 118 and the gapps were still there. :cowboy:
[Xoom Android Development] jessie090672:
First og all, thx for the amazing work. You guys have made my Xoom, the best Android device so far.

Every time i update, i also do a full wipe - but is that necessary ?

I mean, can i just install version 118 over 117 without doing a full wipe, factory reset etc?

regards
[Xoom Android Development] banny7000:
God I'm thick been doing this a while now,I do remember about the gapps now don't know why I started flashing gapps after every update:confused:
[Xoom Android Development] boabsmith:
I only wipe cache/dalvic cache when updating nightlies, everything works perfectly with that.
[Xoom Android Development] wesamothman:
While upgrading from one build to another, no need to reflash gapps or full wipe. Just wipe cache and dalvik and then flash the new rom version. that is all.

However, if you re coming from ics, full wipe is needed, flash rom followed by gapps and reboot.
[Xoom Android Development] waz675:
Yes to both. But really someone's enviroment not being same as yours can deviate experieces. Just experiment, find what works best for you. I actually changed 3 things. Governor (changes often depending what I want, battery consumption vs tablet power.), usually underclock but overclock if I want OOMPH and undervolt for extra battery life between charges.
[Xoom Android Development] pkelly517:
I'd also suggest a full wipe if moving between teams.

When I moved from Vanir/NexusBean to Eos on my Gnex, there were issues until the factory reset.
[Xoom Android Development] uzi2:
No need to wipe cache and dalvik either, it's in the install script. No need to reflash gapps unless they have also been updated.

Swyped from my Xoom
[Xoom Android Development] banny7000:
Is there an update due today?
[Xoom Android Development] soomat:
Regulary i just do wipe cache & dalvik cache if i want to update build and result is everything work normaly ;)

Full Wipe Not Needed For Me

I moved up from EOS ICS to EOS Jellybean a few days ago. As a test, I did NOT do a full wipe. I just wiped cache and dalvik, installed rom, installed gapps. Jellybean is working great, no issues and I have all my apps which are functional. Google Music, youtube. gbooks, gmail, etc. My calendar isn't fully syncing but that may be user error. I have done the same install three more times with each nightly and gapps release without issue.

I am not suggesting that you skip a full wipe on upgrade. I think it's good practice. Warning: your mileage may vary. I just wanted to report that it does work for those who think it may not.

Thanks to the very committed development team.
[Xoom Android Development] P00r:
calendar issue may just be the kind of problem not performing full wipe may cause... (doesn't work here either) I did also try a lazy upgrade at first then when I saw it was working so well I drank a guru and did a full wipe

I alway's find my device more stable when I Do a full install from time to time
[Xoom Android Development] Dyelon:
Let me preface my comment by saying im sorry im sorry im sorry....I'm not trying to be annoying.

I've just become attached to the theme chooser option and I'll forego its awesomeness for a little bit if its going to be implemented in the next week or so, but if its something that will take time and not be implemented for a while (COMPLETELY fine, I just don't know how complicated it is to put in) then I'll wait until then...

so do you think it will be weeks or months until that type of option will be available again? thanks so much in advance....I would never use anything but EOS, **** is LEGIT

EDIT: as a complete side note, is there any progress on ad hoc support for xoom? I'm trying to wireless tether my Verizon Xperia Play to my xoom wifi and Verizon is the damndest at catching me every single time I try to do it no matter the method....and from what I read using Barnacle Wi fi ad hoc tether is the best chance I have at tethering...
[Xoom Android Development] shakuyi:
Looks like jelly bean is about to be official real soon just got my invite to the next xoom soak test!
[Xoom Android Development] Jeffu:
Hm, I can't remember why I decided to flash it without doing a full wipe. :) Just did that now, it seems to be running great. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

edit; I too am running JB 4.1.1 on my gnex... JB is great . ;)
[Xoom Android Development] wesamothman:
Battery life is better than ics here. At least this is what I noticed on my device. Deepsleep is great. Almost 28 hours since I unplugged my device out with 95 % charge level. 24 hours of deepsleep. And about 4 hours of heavy wifi usage. Battery remaining is 60%. Love it.
[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:
Well im just going to answer that in short..

first please don't ask for when something is going to be added, that would fall under the don't ask for etas.

Second if it were my calm I would say hold that for down the road, simply because the themes are there will not work 100% anyways, there are enough changes in jb to probably have to rewrite a far amount of the themer apps anyways, so no reason to push for themes at the moment...

Again that's just my opinion
[Xoom Android Development] Dyelon:
Okay thanks, much appreciated

[Xoom Android Development] Ryno77:
Swipe them.
[Xoom Android Development] rob62551:
You can also clear all by long pressing on the triple bars in the top right of the list of notifications!
[Xoom Android Development] wesamothman:
As seen here. Click this top right icon where you can see the three horizontal small bars to clear all notifications at once. Or swype each notification out.

Has anyone had any issues with adding a Google account?

Mine always says "incorrect user/password" even though it's correct, I've even tried changing my Google account's password and it still fails to login!

I'm using the nightly of 14th with the latest gapps also! Anyone got any solutions?
[Xoom Android Development] seajamiet:
I don't know how to make a feature request so I'll say it here. Is there any chance of real FM support for the Xoom one day? I know the Xoom definitely has a FM chip and I would've thought a change in the kernel would do the trick. There is a project called spirit FM which is trying to get FM functionall across many devices
[Xoom Android Development] Blondblueyed_girl:
I've had no problem doing it quite a few times on mine and my family's tablet, have you put a cap letter somewhere in the password as in the first letter as you would when writing a letter
[Xoom Android Development] pkelly517:
If it's something you need, then go back to ICS and monitor the changelogs, and threads.

If it's something you want, wait until it shows up. Never ask for an ETA.

Remember, you get what you pay for.
[Xoom Android Development] alex94kumar:
Is it strange that I never wiped when i came to JB from ICS, and i never had any problems.....? or is it luck......?
[Xoom Android Development] RampageRR:
So you never tried that on ICS either? Its been this way for a while. You're missing out :D
[Xoom Android Development] kuroguy:
I knew it worked on the recent apps list but never tried on the notifications list.
[Xoom Android Development] RacerX780:

HDMI out not working

Hey guys - I am on 116 still, and so far everything has been very smooth. Tried to use HDMI out last night, and that did not work - can anybody confirm HDMI out working?

[Xoom Android Development] Dyelon:
Just installed jelly bean....pretty happy so far, runs like a beast! =D

I have a RETARDED problem thats been following me for months now, no matter which EOS Rom I use (nightly, cornerstone, or this new 3.0 (I know they're all echoes of each other)) and I've asked for help a couple times but I think because its such a confusing problem people stay away from it?....

When setting a wallpaper, no matter if its a system wallpaper or a picture from gallery, I ALWAYS end up with the image zoomed IN about 50-60% and then shifted 30-40% to the left....so basically a zoomed in and distorted image....every. single. time.

if I do live wallpapers, I have to set the image to some ridiculous resolution to make it fit the Xoom (not the standard 2 listed in that thread about official Xoom resolution: I have to use 1515x880), but then it does fit. So I only use live wallpapers. But I'd like to just use pictures that I download from time and time but I can't because I always end up with basically the zoomed in bottom left fragment of the image....

everytime I install a new nightly or ROM i clear, davlik, then factory reset, clear regular cache, then flash zip then gapps then boot....I don't know why this STUPID problem keeps following me around like a bad nightmare lol...

any ideas how to fix this?
[Xoom Android Development] nadiros:
Your issue may be more unique, however (vanilla,AOSP?) android seems to always crop images that are of perfect resolution for our screens.

Someone in my travels through these forums posted a fix that works a treat ;)

It requires installing an app though - (you dont need even open the app)

-Install "PicSpeed HD Wallpapers" and as I said...use it or hide it whatever.

-(maybe reboot first) - go into stock gallery and select the pic you want.

-tap menu button and choose "set picture as" then select the picSpeed icon

which reads "set as Wallpaper"

-now below the picture with the cropping arrows are three thumbnails to select the type of crop you want. Tap the third one to the most right (custom mode) and then tap "set" then exit to your desktop.

- BLAMO ! You now have your full wallpaper :cool:

This all ofcourse is reliant upon the fact that your image is the correct resolution to begin with (1920x1280) or there abouts lol

Hope this helps, works for me
[Xoom Android Development] flukeSG2:
Is anyone else kind of disappointed with Jellybean? I really don't see any big important differences. I can't even tell that things are smoother or anything with this "Project Butter" thing Google put in here.

On a small note, are there no new Jellybean wallpapers?
[Xoom Android Development] Legato Bluesummers:
There are a bunch of differences...from basic looks to under the hood. Here is the full changelog to JB.

[Xoom Android Development] Rone1986:
Disappointed? I wouldn't say that. I think ICS was the pinnacle where things really started to gel. From here on in, I'd say it's mainly about streamlining the OS. iOS is pretty much the same release after release, cept when siri came along. Google now is interesting and so much better, comparing it to my mates iPhone 4s.

I didn't notice a huge difference in smoothness, but I'd say that's because of how well Team EOS tweaked ICS and having their kernel OCd to 1.6.
[Xoom Android Development] INDIANAJONNY:
Ditto on this. The new "updating apps" function on first boot helps with this.

Though if you have FC's, you should wipe.
[Xoom Android Development] wesamothman:
Hey. Sorry I haven't yet organized my home screen.

Ok. This is live wall paper where water waves with your touches only. It is call "touch hd LWP blue water drop".

The widget is the one from betterbatterystats app. It shows statistics of battery usage. Screen on. Deepsleep. Wakelocks . Etc...
[Xoom Android Development] albundy2010:
The updating apps is really nothing new. Before it would just stay on the boot animation instead and do the same thing. Its rebuilding the cache. So instead of looking at the bootup animation for a extended period of time it goes to that screen. I like it because it reduces the OMG I flashed so and so and its been booting for so many minutes. DID I BRICK MY DEVICE? post/threads.

google now voice

Hey, I have a question for those who have gotten GoogleNow working with voice. I followed the instructions for downloading the offline voice recognition but at the final step I have no option for a download from within the speech menu. Has anyone else had this issue and any advice for what I should do? I'm on the latest nightly and have tried flashing googlenow both through clockwork and as an apk.
[Xoom Android Development] nathanielsametz:
Hi guys, really sorry to clutter this thread up with more "help google now isn't working" crap, but I've been searching the thread and I can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. :(

Is google now built into the latest 119 build/ eos gapps? I can't even see language packs to download in Settings>languages&input>voice search

also holding down on the nav buttons does nothing..

Do I need to download the Google Now APK separately or something? Once again - sorry for asking. I feel like I'm missing something incredibly obvious, and I probably am...

thanks! :)
[Xoom Android Development] wesamothman:
No no. Don't worry. I am not sure which antivirus you are using, but this APP is safe.

Maybe it was reported as a threat because this app access system information. To be specific,

Access to view state of networks.

Start at boot.

Modify / Collect battery statistics.

So, no worries.

For those who are not able to get google now to work, please try to follow the steps again. Quoting "jamjame" from post # 80 and already mentioned howto by TeamEOS and other members such as jamjame and runandhide. Thanks guys.

1. Go to settings

2. Go to Language and Input

3. Under Keyboard and Input Methods press the settings icon for 'Google voice typing'

4. Press 'Download offline speech recognition'

5. At the top of the screen press 'All'

6. Download your language pack and it should automatically install

Not working?

Check if you have your language selected in Google Now / Google Search by following these steps:

1. Load up Google Now

2. Make sure the keyboard is not showing

3. In the bottom right corner of your screen press the icon

4. Press 'Settings' and then press 'voice' in the left pane.

5. Make sure that the Language is set to the same Language you downloaded earlier.
[Xoom Android Development] adelancker:
Haha, I guess you should try and look at some reviews of the new Android version whenever they come out!

It's one of the first things they mentioned! ;)
[Xoom Android Development] nathanielsametz:
This is all I get when I open voice typing settings, I full wiped and flashed 119 and the latest gapps from the OP.

I've searched the thread and read through nearly all of it but I can't find anything that relates to my situation.. I must be completely stupid or something.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Apart from the lack of Google Now this ROM is awesome!! Much love to teameos getting jb out so quickly.

Thanks guys!

Also make sure you don't have application specific passwords enabled on your Google account, if you do you'll need to create a password for the tablet.

Is there any way to get backup to Google working in Settings / backup and restore?
[Xoom Android Development] seajamiet:
Hmm very interesting, but definitely seems like you haven't got the Google now apk. Unzip the gapps zip file, then browse to system/app inside the unzipped folder and take velvet apk out and place it into /system/app on the internal storage then reboot.
[Xoom Android Development] wesamothman:
Or just make sure you have flashed the latest GAPPS package dated 13/07/2012.

Here is the link from OP.

[Xoom Android Development] nathanielsametz:
Thanks heaps for the help guys - looks like the gapps didn't flash the velvet.apk correctly or something, it took three full wipes/ installs to get everything working.

I tried copying over the velvet.apk using FX and ES with root enabled blah blah.. took 6 goes to copy properly (why? no idea..) after a reboot it still hadn't kicked in - so full wiped, flashed for the third time - third time lucky! Thanks again guys!! :D
[Xoom Android Development] tdarren:
Thank you Eos for adding Play Music and Gmail with the updated Gapps. I owe you and the supporters an apology because everything has now improved and is a lot better.

Plainly my fault for not seeing the updated Gapps, I would of thought that it would be in the first post as an edit.

Can't choose zip from SD card

I am trying to upgrade from Eos-wingray-114. I ran ROM Manager, rebooted into ClockworkMod recovery (v5.8.3.1) and did a factory reset.

[Xoom Android Development] uzi2:
Ah... I think I see what's happened. By using the wrong recovery, when you did a factory reset, it deleted all your internal memory including your zip files.

Download again using a PC and copy what you need onto an SD card as well as one of the recoveries I suggested. Use your recovery to flash the new recovery and then install from SD card.

[Xoom Android Development] uzi2:
Yes, but with a recovery already installed, I know which route I would take.

Edit: If the installed recovery does not support the external memory, it will be necessary to use fastboot to install one of the recoveries that does.

[Xoom Android Development] wesamothman:
If I remember correctly. Thru your existing recovery go advanced and try to mount system.

Another way would thru adb to push a new recovery img into your sd card. This is .img and not .zip. then install this recovery image.
[Xoom Android Development] uzi2:
My theory is obviously wrong if your file explorer can see them. It appears that your recovery can't read the internal memory.

If it can read an external SD card than you can flash a .zip recovery.

If not then you must use fastboot and install a .img recovery.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm assuming that we will see more compatibility with apps, and a slightly smoother overall UI, the drivers from motorola will be there.
[Xoom Android Development] DsturbD:
thats my thought too. i know with the LG G2x phone, the ICS roms are great but like the official hardware drivers from LG to make it complete. i'm only assuming that is the case with the Xoom? it has a Tegra chip from Nvidia just like the G2x
[Xoom Android Development] CeloCRF:
Not on nightly 116.

But after installing 119, HBO became incompatible again. Flash nitghly 116 and it will be available at the playstore for download.
[Xoom Android Development] seajamiet:
I guess so. Not every part of a stock ROM is terrible is it? Its like saying every part of a country is bad just by looking at one place.
[Xoom Android Development] okantomi:
May I suggest...stay away from Rom Manager. It tricks you into installing a less compatible recovery, overwriting the customized recovery you flashed when you rooted your Xoom. If you want an easy way to boot to recovery dl Quick Boot from Play Store.

I've tried everything and they keep popping back up. On build 119, and did fill wipe after coming from 118 (factory reset 3x in recovery just to be safe). Does anybody have any suggestions?
