Flashed the latest and activated the TabletUI. I have two user profiles in use and the tablet is now brought back to daily driver... I use other keyboard and have actually removed the original from system, so I have no issues with it.
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
Google Apps update. Google Latin IME is removed since it crashes often but installer and remover are still provided. Please help if you found any solution for Google Latin IME working.

Users flashed Google Apps (20121123) can simply flash Google Latin IME Remover to bring back AOSP Latin IME.

Hi, I'm still having problems installing this. Running CM 10 final, latest TWRP recovery, wipe system, factory reset, yesterdays rom, try to flash gapps from 1st post but nothing happens - it just updates partition details without installing the gapps. Someone said earlier that I may not have enough space on system, but how is everyone else install in it fine? Thanks
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
Can you try using ClockworkMod Reocvery 6.0.1.9?
[Xoom Android Development] ArtoD2:
I had also problems with twrp. I did not change the recovery, but I flashed cm10 first, did all the wipes (also wiped the entire internal memory) and then TWRP was able to flash... now the upgrade went smooth as silk with TWRP.
[Xoom Android Development] RiThBo:
Yay it worked. Thanks
[Xoom Android Development] trevormalachi:
Theoretically could one flash this to a mz602 then flash the 4g radio and have it work?
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
No, there are some changes required to use 4G radio. It looks like there are many MZ602 users here... Maybe I can try to build this for MZ602 later, but I can't ensure it working since I don't have that model.

I'm on mz604 4.1.2 stock rooted rom!...I'm trying to install your rom but it fail!...I don't know why!...I'm using TWRP recovery!... Have you some tips to properly install this rom?

Thanks
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
Can you try ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.1.9? Backup => wipe system => flash ROM and Google Apps => factory reset => reboot should be fine.

[Xoom Android Development] PearlMikeJam:
Dream- Attached is the file you requested. I just got a reboot playing in Chrome. I cannot recall getting a reboot on this ROM that was not related to Chrome. I hope this helps.
[Xoom Android Development] Hoochie_Coochie:
I've only ever got reboots on a custom kernel, dirty flashed the ROM to get back to your kernel

I know everyone see this on xda constantly says 'smoothest ROM, etc' I know I hear it far too much, I own a HTC desire and gnex also, so I've seen it thrown about carelessly, but this rom is like night and day compared to everything else. I was hesitant at first to flash since every where else I heard 4.2.2 was slower on every device.

But thank you for the best ROM on my Xoom for me, and keep up the good work.

Normally I just hit the thanks button but in this case I needed to say more
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
Doesn't seem to have this issue. How do you get it?
[Xoom Android Development] war1:
conect the charger and next disconect. The icon don't change until monitor off/on or restart tablet.
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
A little confused because it doesn't work that way on my Xoom. Can you try to clear data for System UI?

Does anyone else have the same problem on battery icon?
[Xoom Android Development] Winesnob:
No problem with this here.
[Xoom Android Development] PearlMikeJam:
Dream- I just wanted to pop in and say the latest build is ultra smooth in phone ui. I switched from tablet ui this morning to give it another try. That change eliminated almost all the lag I was experiencing, especially on the lockscreen. I will stick with this ui for a while to see if I still get the random reboots in Chrome. Maybe it was the tablet ui causing the issue.

Selling my XOOM guys...Time to roll out. MY wife got my a N7... Appreciate all the fun here guys.
[Xoom Android Development] dodsonhaycattle:
I tried to replace my Xoom with a N7 but just couldn't do it. I bought my Xoom on day one and it as the most expensive luxury item I had ever bought myself. Traded the N7 on another Xoom to replace my wife's crappy Toshiba Thrive. I still have a soft spot for my ole Xoom.

dream, I'm kind of a lurker here on xda but is there any chance on the next build you could add expanded desktop? I've been playing with expanded desktop and lmt launched on my G Nex and have gotten to enjoy it.

Your ROM is by far my favorite and the only trouble I had had with it was lagging when opening a recent app but 4.2.2 fixed that! Thanks for keeping my old friend the Xoom young!
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
I think it should be a common problem for our legacy kernel. I will try to backport some changes in newer kernel to fix it.

Do you mean the PIE feature? I will not add it as I always try to keep stock user experience with this ROM. I have seen someone said he will port Paranoid Android to Xoom so I think you can get PIE feature from his port.
[Xoom Android Development] Frazer Scott:

You could try this for PIE, iv not tested if it works on xoom myself yet.

Weird lag

I have been running the latest build without any issues for the past many days now.No reboots (chrome beta did give me a reboot, but can't attribute it to the ROM). This is the smoothest one I have ever used.

I am noticing a strange lag in all UI actions. Clicking any icons (eg. Home button) has a definite lag before the action takes place. However, when I go to developed options, change the max or min frequency - just select anything random and set back to original value - the lag disappears! Everything works fine till the screen lock is activated.

I have tried governor settings to on demand, performance etc, tried with tablet and phablet ui - and the behaviour is the same.

Any ideas?
[Xoom Android Development] buffal0b1ll:
A number of ROMs on other devices offer fast charging over micro USB. A kernel tweeker toggles the fast charging on and off. When it's on you can't use the USB on a computer for media transfer.

Would it be possible to leverage this fast charging on a kernel with the xoom so that we could charge the device over micro USB?
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
I have no idea about it. Can you upload some video about the problem? Also, try long press on shutdown option of power menu and reboot to safe mode to see if the problem is still available. If not, there may be something wrong with your apps.

I think Xoom can't be charged by USB port by design? Can you provide more information about this?
[Xoom Android Development] scottgti:
Xoom requires 12v, USB is only 5v. It won't work.

My Android 4.2 for Xoom Wi-Fi

I am running this rom for 2 week from now and this is the best Motorola Xoom Rom sow far, this tablet is smooth almost lag free , no reeboot with max CPU at 1.5 mhz ...before this rom and try another roms this tablet wos ready for sale on Craigs..st but right now this xoom is my new toy..Thanks dreamcwli for the lot of effort you put in this porter rom really nice job...this tablet is running with over 40 widget what a call my personal Windows 8 pushing to the max and the scrolling pages with all this widget is sweet...I post a video on you tube just for fun showing how smooth is working this rom...again thanks dreamcwli for this work.

Search this tile on you tube ....My personal Windows 8 on Motorola Xoom
[Xoom Android Development] buffal0b1ll:
Right. Xoom requires charging though the pinhole and not thru the micro USB. We all know that.

Wrong. Xoom dies not require 12v. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1904146. 5v charging works thru the pinhole too.

I was trying to spark interest into a loophole to charging thru USB. Prolly won't work but if micro USB fast charging can disable pc connectivity in favor of charging on other devices, cab it be done on a xoom and trick charging into working thru micro USB.
[Xoom Android Development] Winesnob:
This.
[Xoom Android Development] Winesnob:
Dream - thanks for making this such a great daily driver. Is there any advantage to incorporating Koush's new superuser into this ROM? Running CM 10.1 on a different device and it is nice to have in the settings instead of as a app in the drawer.
[Xoom Android Development] megabiteg:
I too notice the lag, any suggestions ok how to make it go away in a permanent fashion?

Edit:

Shieldkernel works great for the lag.
[Xoom Android Development] BorgCymru:
Overclocking

OK I understand turning the CPU up but could someone give me an idiots guide of what to try with the other settings so I can learn what they do. I don't want to try anything that might damage something.

Thanks
[Xoom Android Development] phuongnt:
You should try SetCPU, Android Tuner or some softwares like that to overclock (set CPU to 1.2-1.5 GHz is good) and undervolta (-100mV is good).
[Xoom Android Development] Hoochie_Coochie:
I do t think that there's much else you can do on the Xoom but overclock to really get much more performance.

The new Elemental X 0.7 seems really good though.

You can look at this for explanations of other things like governor etc.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2097146

You really just to try the settings and see what you like

I'm currently using Trickster MOD to change values, but doesn't officially support the Xoom, no problems so far though.

I'm on stock kernel settings on eleX with a little over clock to 1408

New life on my Xoom MZ602 Stingray

Thank you, Dream, this is awesome - smooth and pure. I just installed on my Verizon Xoom MZ602 Stingray and since I don't have a data plan or even care about using data I went ahead and bit the bullet. This is so much better than the stock 4.0.4 ICS that was stock on this unit and I wasn't willing to wait for Verizon to release the update. I haven't played with custom roms on anything in quite a while and it took a few tries but I am very happy with the results. I can't tell the difference between this 4.2.2 and the one running on my wife's Nexus 7. Just what I wanted.

When payday rolls around next week I'll be sure to send you a little something to get a coffee in thanks for this.

Thanks again!
[Xoom Android Development] megabiteg:
@dream,

First of all, thank you for all that you do in this community. Some time ago I asked if there was a possibility to locate the back, home and recent apps button to the far left side of the screen (kind of like Gingerbread). I find it personally much more efficient and comfortable if they are in one side other than the middle.

Can this be adjusted quickly ? Or can you point me in the right direction on how to do so?

Thank you!
[Xoom Android Development] b1g1an:
User interface in settings is all you need.

dreamwcli and the-captain kernel makes xoom tablet really fast and smooth

I guarantee, you will be impress
[Xoom Android Development] Lothaen:
Tried it. Seems marginably faster. But had my first ever crash with my Xoom since I got it at launch. :-\ will keep playing with it though and see if it happens again
[Xoom Android Development] b1g1an:
I found the standard one completely stable, lag free and overclocked to 1504, but the battery usage was awful, wakelock problem I couldn't track down. Tried elementalx and got continual reboots so then tried shieldkernal and all is good again but with excellent battery life.

Excellent rom, thank you, and shield kernel puts the icing on the cake.
[Xoom Android Development] PearlMikeJam:
Do you still need to overclock? I am still on stock. I over clocked to get some games to work, but battery drain is an issue.
[Xoom Android Development] b1g1an:
I did on the original kernel to get a couple of games to run smoothly, haven't tried it without on this one but battery drain isn't a problem, using dancedance which I gather is supposed to give a good balance.

Out of interest, just tried those games again with it set back to 1000 and they are now nice and smooth.

Ambient Light Sensor

Doe anyone know if the ambient light sensor works in this ROM?

Light sensor works for me using Lux
[Xoom Android Development] PthPndr:
Thanks, it does appear to be working.
[Xoom Android Development] Winesnob:
I've been running this ROM since the first release and loving it. Recently decided to try without overclocking (have been running at 1.4 GHz) and honestly I see no difference in performance. And the performance is still spectacular given the age of the Xoom. Hoping dreamcwli is still developing for the Xoom when the next android iteration comes in June -I'll probably jump to the nexus 10 when it gets refreshed later this year, but for now the Xoom is my daily driver.
[Xoom Android Development] uzi2:
I'm the same and I see no reason to switch when I read of various issues in the other threads. I find that overclocking is only needed to smooth out a couple of games. For everyday use it is fine at stock with dream's original kernel.

WiFi Xoom on This ROM

Just clean-flashed your 02/17/2013 build from 4.2.1 EOS Build 155 and have no problems to report. I have previously tried several EOS 4.2.2 builds and experienced several issues, e.g., general UI lag, Note to Self FC'ing etc, but have no problems to report with your latest build.

Been running ROM without difficulties, however changed firms and had to encript data for my required exchange security system setting. I tried to back-up the data encripted ROM, but have been getting error message (that the TWRP system that I use) is unable to mount data. Do you know if there is a way of getting around the problem so I can back-up the ROM. I use Hashcode's 3.11 TWRP based backup on my Bionic and I am able to back-up my encrypted ROM.

Thanks,
[Xoom Android Development] Winesnob:
I have no experience backing up encrypted data, however you may want to try the CWM recovery for the Xoom. This is the recovery that the ROM developer uses; not sure if it will make any difference but worth a shot. Current CWMversion is 6.0.2.9 and available as a fastboot image from CWM.
[Xoom Android Development] Alxoom33:
Winesnob, thanks, that was a good idea, downloaded and tried CM touch Recovery. Unfortunately, same problem as TWRP, error message when stopped backing up, saying unable to mount data. I'm going to go on the TWRP and CWM threads to see if there is a solution.
[Xoom Android Development] Winesnob:
Definitely curious if you find a solution. Seems that you can't be the only one who requires this.
[Xoom Android Development] Alxoom33:
Will let you know. There must be a way...?
[Xoom Android Development] Alxoom33:
The functionality must be specifically added to the recovery IMO.
[Xoom Android Development] bartvincke:
It's true this is the best rom for xoom.

Faster then eos3, not as laggy and crashing as eos4

There is always room for improvement though. Xbmc non-neon for example keeps running very unstable. Some time ago I loaded it on eos4 and for some weird reason it's stable on eos4. Reports from the forums seem to confirm this.

It would be great to see this fixed in this rom as well.
[Xoom Android Development] Alxoom33:
Runandhide and BRD collaborated and runandhide developed a new TWRP backup with encyption support. The details are on the XDA TWRP 2.4.1 for Xoom thread. I believe there is a download link on the thread. I now have been able to backup the My Android enctypted ROM and go back and forth with enctypted EOS4 ROM, as well. rnh and BRD developed a new set of gapps for the EOS4 Rom that works with encryption. Don't know if CM10.1 can be encrypted as well. Thanks! :cool:

Which kernel most of you use?

Stock or other?

If other, which kernel?

I currently use kernel by johnathan
[Xoom Android Development] Lothaen:
I found the kernel included was very stable. Bit sluggish though occasionally.

Tried the ElementalX OC one and stable and found that I got some freezes when screen off but good performance from OC.
[Xoom Android Development] Winesnob:
Stock. Tried Elemental X, but too much instability and lag introduced. I'm actually back to stock speeds, and find the performance very comparable to overclocking for general use.

Hoping the dev is still working on this in prep for the next Android update. I need to make the Xoom last until November when the refreshed Nexus tablet hits the market.

I had some lag with the standard one despite overclocking, tried elemental which was at 0.8 at the time and it constantly rebooted, finally tried ShieldKernal which is perfectly stable and smooth, doesn't need overclocking.

It has been a long time since last time I updated the ROM. I have been very busy with my job so I don't have much time to improve it. I think Google will announce Android 4.3 on Google I/O and I will still try to port it if I have time. It will remain as an AOSP ROM with a little modifications as I think I will not have much time for working on it. If somebody wants to help developing this ROM please contact me via private messages.

Thanks for those giving feedbacks and helps on this thread. I have spent a little time reading last few pages and it's good to know some users still prefer this ROM than others.

I think your rom is excellent, you wouldn't really know it isn't as nature intended, no silly features you don't need, no self promoting splash screens and it is 100% stable. What more could you ask for, thank you.

I'd assumed this would be it for the xoom and perfectly happy with that but if you could get 4.3 to work that would be great.
