Re: [ROM][4.2.1] My Android 4.2 for Xoom Wi-Fi - Stable Release (20130114)

Its probably been asked before but - is it possible to have new layout with left aligned back/home/multitask buttons?

I'd really like a halfway house option as I want to use the new notif but struggle to find home and back in the middle :)
[Xoom Android Development] 5N4PDR4G0N:
Like this ^ it's on the rom already
[Xoom Android Development] Lothaen:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1] My Android 4.2 for Xoom Wi-Fi - Stable Release (20130114)

With the notif at the top still. Just the centre aligned buttons to be left aligned. :)
[Xoom Android Development] joho5:
Does the Google now hot word zip enable Google voice?

I flashed this ROM but nothing will recognize or register when I speak to Google now.

Thanks
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1] My Android 4.2 for Xoom Wi-Fi - Stable Release (20130114)

I will think about it.

I think voice search should work without hot word detection package (I don't use it but voice search works). Do you have a clean install?
[Xoom Android Development] 5N4PDR4G0N:
I've tried Google Now extensively with no problems, did you do a clean flash ?
[Xoom Android Development] TheMainCat:
Is there a way to add more "buttons" to the Home Key long press. Right now (and I think that is out of the box 4.2), Home key long press give you Google Now as an option to select. It would be cool if there was a way to add more "items" to that wheel.
[Xoom Android Development] alex94kumar:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1] My Android 4.2 for Xoom Wi-Fi - Stable Release (20130114)

Agreed, while on eos4 I had chrome and the camera app on that app wheel
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1] My Android 4.2 for Xoom Wi-Fi - Stable Release (20130114)

No, currently I have no plan about it since it makes user interface complicated. I prefer to make everything on My Android simple to reduce confusion for normal users. Since EOS 4 provides many advanced features, I think you can have it a try.
[Xoom Android Development] alex94kumar:
Mind if i refer to your rom as "Jellybean Dream" in my sig, dreamcwli? ;)
[Xoom Android Development] Winesnob:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1] My Android 4.2 for Xoom Wi-Fi - Stable Release (20130114)

Just call it what it is. Dream has done amazing work on this, and named it appropriately. If you want a ROM named Jellybean Dream, then build it.
[Xoom Android Development] alex94kumar:
i honestly wish i could build roms like this... just don't have the proper skillset and knowledge :(
[Xoom Android Development] DsturbD:
i agree, Dream calls it My Android and that's what it's called. if you refer to it as something else, then it will only confuse people

besides, he already gave the reason behind not changing it
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
If you want to build your ROM, follow the guide on http://source.android.com/source/index.html to start from AOSP first. Since Android 4.2 is not supported for Xoom in AOSP, you can start from Android 4.1. I think every developer was in the same situation as you at first, just keep working on it and you will finally get what you want one day.
[Xoom Android Development] alex94kumar:
Now all i need is linux ;) lol
[Xoom Android Development] Winesnob:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1] My Android 4.2 for Xoom Wi-Fi - Stable Release (20130114)

Ubuntu is free and you can set up a dual boot on a Windows machine. After that it's following instructions and learning.
[Xoom Android Development] alex94kumar:
I think i might try that actually. I've always wanted to learn how to build ROMs and such.
[Xoom Android Development] dtevegas:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1] My Android 4.2 for Xoom Wi-Fi - Stable Release (20130114)

Or install virtualbox (free) and run your Linux box as a virtual machine

Re: [ROM][4.2.1] My Android 4.2 for Xoom Wi-Fi - Stable Release (20130114)

Hi Dream,

I've got random reboots while using chrome beta. They happen rarely when I try to close a tab. Here is the last_kmsg:

[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:

Re: [ROM][4.2.1] My Android 4.2 for Xoom Wi-Fi - Stable Release (20130114)

Is there a way to have the navigation buttons to the left, I know you can change it to the classic mode in the settings but I would like to retain the 2 top separated draws.

Any suggestions?
[Xoom Android Development] waz675:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1] My Android 4.2 for Xoom Wi-Fi - Stable Release (20130114)

While missing some eos4 features, this rom is such a nice smooth(er) experience. Also the first 24 hours+ shows battery life my be better. I think I will keep this rom as my DD on the xoom. If only devs could make graphics/games function beyond tegra2 spec this would rule LOL. It's the only thing making me debate getting something else besides my xoom and HTC one x(gaming etc makes battery life on the 4.2.1 phone abysmal, like 2ish hours per charge screen on usage at times)

Loving all the devs work bringing 4.2.1 sleekness like on to our tablets. Thumbs up indeed.
[Xoom Android Development] GuiPoM:
I just re-installed the rom, applied the latest OTA update and restored some applications thanks to Titanium backup.

My xoom was on its dock and hard rebooted today:

http://pastebin.com/PxC191jY

and another one: http://pastebin.com/NkrGktPW

Hope it helps ;)
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1] My Android 4.2 for Xoom Wi-Fi - Stable Release (20130114)

We have some workarounds for hardware graphics acceleration to work in the kernel. Unfortunately it seem to fail in some situations like you mentioned. I will try to port changes from newer Nvidia kernel to see if it helps. It should cost quite some time since I want to add support for stingray and fix tethering first. Maybe you have to avoid using Chrome Beta before I start working on it.

No, but I am thinking about including this option in future builds.

Your system seem to be crashed on some unusual points. Did your Xoom work well with stock 4.1.2? If yes maybe I can build a stock kernel with some necessary changes to do some experiments.
[Xoom Android Development] GuiPoM:
Yes. As I mentionned my device is very stable when I use stock roms. If you have time to do so I can flash and test a new kernel. Thanks!
[Xoom Android Development] chiikko561:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1] My Android 4.2 for Xoom Wi-Fi - Stable Release (20130114)

I just wanted to back and say again thanks your hard work and constant support
[Xoom Android Development] tumpy:
Dream, I use chrome beta from day one and it never reboot my xoom when i am using it, In fact ever since i use your latest app and rom the tablet never go into deep sleep or reboot any more, I don't think chrome beta is the problem...
[Xoom Android Development] Duncank:
The same goes for me, absolutely no problems with Chrome Beta here..
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1] My Android 4.2 for Xoom Wi-Fi - Stable Release (20130114)

Maybe it is not directly related to Chrome Beta but from the kernel message I can see there are still some little problems in the kernel. Although those workarounds make the kernel work most of the time, I think it is still important to make it as stable as possible.
[Xoom Android Development] Winesnob:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1] My Android 4.2 for Xoom Wi-Fi - Stable Release (20130114)

I've been using this ROM since the alpha, and now that we've been running stable for a few weeks I've noticed that battery life is just as good as stock 4.1.2 even with overclocking to 1.4 GHz. Smooth running, much snappier than 4.1. Once again, great work.
[Xoom Android Development] lepa71:
I'm having a strange issues. I tried to play angry birds(seasonal one) and it works but resets itself as well as freezes. I'm on the latest version and dirty flashed it from previous version. I tried overclocking and under-clocking. Does anybody have similar issues?

Thanks
[Xoom Android Development] alex94kumar:
Hey Dream, I'm curious, What have you done to your kernel/ROM that makes it so much more smoother and snppier than the kernel on Eos 4? Like, homescreen, systemUI, etc
[Xoom Android Development] Winesnob:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1] My Android 4.2 for Xoom Wi-Fi - Stable Release (20130114)

Having some occasional freezing with angry birds space, but had occasional issues when I was running stock 4.1.2. I blame the Rovio graphics engine more than the ROM, for some reason doesn't work as well on a large screen as it does a small one.
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1] My Android 4.2 for Xoom Wi-Fi - Stable Release (20130114)

It reminds me some games don't work well on Xoom but fine on other machines. I think I should give it a try. How often did you get those problems?

I think it is smoother because it is simpler. System with less customization options doesn't cost much time on determining its behaviors dynamically. The phone UI still doesn't play well on My Android as it uses more hardware resources than tablet UI according to performance analyzer.
[Xoom Android Development] lepa71:
I don't think I had any issues with previous version. I'm going to restore it and see.
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1] My Android 4.2 for Xoom Wi-Fi - Stable Release (20130114)

Can you wipe /system and flash version 20130104 with latest Google Apps to see it is caused by app or by ROM?
[Xoom Android Development] lepa71:
You mean dirty flash it.
[Xoom Android Development] alex94kumar:
I noticed that whenever you switch from Phone UI to tablet UI, your background on the launcher is reset
[Xoom Android Development] lepa71:
Restored your previous version and everything is working right. I will try clean install 0114 tomorrow and see. One thing to add that my backup didn't have hot words installed.
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
Yes, it ensure your app data are the same when testing on different version.

Wallpaper service is combined with SystemUI.
[Xoom Android Development] alex94kumar:
Never knew that. Alright thanks!
[Xoom Android Development] Lothaen:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1] My Android 4.2 for Xoom Wi-Fi - Stable Release (20130114)

Do you think lagfix fstrim will help peeps reporting slow issues? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grilledmonkey.lagfix

E.g. phone UI mode :)
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
According to the description I think the problem only affects the storage part. Since the performance of SystemUI is not related to storage I think it doesn't help on it. Still thanks for the information, I will check it to see if it can make system work better.
[Xoom Android Development] lepa71:
I can't find 20130104 version anywhere. I still have my-wingray-20130103-signed.zip.

What difference would it make if I just restore my 20130103 version and flash your latest gapps on the top of it? I already restored my backup.
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
I think it is a typo. :eek: If the problem is related to your app data then it will gone after you restore your system. I think it is still fine to test 20130114 with a clean install to see if it has problems.
[Xoom Android Development] crisisinthecity:
[ROM][4.2.1] My Android 4.2 for Xoom Wi-Fi - Stable Release (20130114)

That would be super. I love the new pull downs at the top but would love my home/back/windows buttons on the left for ease of use.

This ROM is excellent!
[Xoom Android Development] lepa71:
I did dirty flash I went from 0103 version to 0114.

I just want to make sure it's not "hot word" or latest gapps are causing issues. I'm still on 0103 ROM and same gapps. Can I install newest gapps onto 0103 rom to rule out gapps and then try to install clean 0114 rom and latest gapps without "hot word" patch. What do you think?
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1] My Android 4.2 for Xoom Wi-Fi - Stable Release (20130114)

Yes, basically the latest Google Apps package is the same as previous one besides some changes for keeping data on updating ROMs.
[Xoom Android Development] lepa71:
Ok. So I did a clean install without "hot word" and didn't restore any apps with TB. It works better. Still has some jerkiness in AB seasonal. I'm running TWRP latest and I was wondering if I should update recovery to your CWR. I don't know if it would make any difference, but I have seen on other ROMs when it could.

Let me know
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
I think I should revert some changes and make some experimental builds to see if it helps. I will upload it here later. Thanks for your testing!
[Xoom Android Development] lepa71:
Glad to help and thank you for all of your work. Please keep it up.
[Xoom Android Development] lepa71:
Just another observation. CPU Spy reports that there is missing scale file and AnTuTu also reporting wrong current frequency on both versions. I don't know if it make any difference, but here it is. I'm going to try EOS4 just to see if angry birds is having the same issues.
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
I will take a look at it. Thanks for reporting!
[Xoom Android Development] arielp:
noob question :)

Could i restore TWRP backup of 4.1.2 just in case i'm not satisfied with this ROM?
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
Yes, but you have to move data under /data/media/0/ to /data/media/ in order to restore it.
[Xoom Android Development] arielp:
Thanks..

but then i realized this ROM is faster than my prevous EOS3 155 build..

the only "unsmooth" is on Nova Launcher Prime 2 drawer, smoother on the 155, but 3D and overallperformance, your ROM better

---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------

Apparently when using Tablet UI, all become smooth....

Phablet ui is slower...
[Xoom Android Development] lepa71:
Please don't take this as discouragement. Your ROM fills faster than EOS, but the scores were the same. I don't know why. EOS also does not have issues playing AB game. It fills that your gpu is overclocked and it causes issue. I don't know if you are OC GPU or not.

If you want me to test more, please let me know.
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1] My Android 4.2 for Xoom Wi-Fi - Stable Release (20130114)

GPU is overclocked since beta releases so I think it is not the problem (but I will remove it in next release). I will revert some changes to make next build more stable for everyone. It is good to see bug reports so I can make the ROM better.
[Xoom Android Development] shpitz461:
Or you can provide several kernel versions, with o/c and without, similar to what Tiamat used to do in the past :)

Try clearing data on gallery. I have had issues with the camera after flashing, but clearing data usually resolves those issues.

Why the OP does not contain a guide to how to install this rom? Since this is the first time I want to install a rom on xoom, can you provide me with a good up to date guide?
[Xoom Android Development] Lothaen:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1] My Android 4.2 for Xoom Wi-Fi - Stable Release (20130114)

There are some around here still. With Com and Nexus devices its pretty simple

Boot into fastboot

Fastboot OEM unlock (will wipe device)

Download the ROM and put it on sdcard or internal storage

Download a recovery

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.IMG

Boot into recovery

Wipe data

Install from sdcard or wherever the rom is

Reboot

Just letting you guys know that Bluetooth and just stability general is an issue on officially supported devices as well. Still running paranoid/cm10 on my nexus 7. You can run the new camera and keyboard on 4.1 anyway.
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
Thanks for your report. It looks it doesn't work in Chrome but fine in stock browser. I will try to fix it in next release.

I have also built the ROM for Nexus 7 and Bluetooth works. The new Bluetooth framework is buggy compared to the old one but still works better on devices maintained in AOSP.

Just a heads up to anyone that would want to port this over to the Stingray. I have it running on my Stingray right now! Ofcourse, I don't have 4g, but I'm doing this for testing purposes. I have no idea how to port it over, but this may be good info for someone who does! I will report back any issues I find!

Edit: All of my testing went great! It did seem to lag sometimes but I was doing alot of multitasking trying things out, and overall it was a good experience! The keyboard worked for me in Chrome, typing and gesture typing. I tethered to my GS3 to run it while I was testing! Great job on this, and hopefully someone will bring us Stingray support! Thanks! Almost forgot that I successfully flashed back to my BU of Blackbean 6!

[Xoom Android Development] logitechor:
I have been using your ROM on and off while it evolves. It is becoming a good choice. I go back to cm10 with Teameos Gapps also. Keeping the Xoom clean of Apps until a bit later in the evolution of the rom.

The biggest change I made to your ROM was remove some system applications. One example is Wallpapers - I either move them to User Apps or delete them altogether.

One can save quite a bit of room going through the system folder. Thereby allowing additional system room.
[Xoom Android Development] MikeCriggs:
I love you.
[Xoom Android Development] MikeCriggs:
Or you could just connect to ADB from Recovery and use LVM in ADB Shell to resize the media and system partitions :).
[Xoom Android Development] lepa71:
Team EOS said that system partition cannot be re-sized because of the bootloader. You can brick your zoom that way.
[Xoom Android Development] Jerryatric:
Thanks for your work on this. Looking forward to your updates!
[Xoom Android Development] dreamcwli:
I will try to remove some unnecessary apps to release system storage.

LVM is built on top of physical partitions so it should not brick our devices. But LVM requires recovery and ROM to support the feature so I think it is not a good idea.
[Xoom Android Development] MikeCriggs:
This is true. Worst case scenario, you have to reinstall the bootloader. No biggie.

Google tends to work. I ran stock until AOSP support ran out for the Xoom. Before I could install My Android,I had to do some searching and LEARNING. I do not expect the developer to spoon feed me-they've taken the time to build the ROM and share it. Beyond that, I need to know what I'm doing when it comes to flashing the device.
