Since the gnow update all non neon devices won't work with hot word.

Which the Xoom is a non neon device.
[Xoom Android Development] rookie8155:
Thanks a lot for the link.
[Xoom Android Development] istrait:
163 runs great.... Thanks...
[Xoom Android Development] petrossa:
163 zooms along. Only strange warning after reboot : mail crashed, exchange server crashed. Thinking that might be hotmail but that works fine. Nothing special in logcat. But it is gorgeous screenshot: http://db.tt/DhtmaWwa
[Xoom Android Development] SAHorowitz:
Hello again. I upgraded to 163 w/gapps 12-16. The below issue is still occuring. Can anyone give me ideas here? Or if someone has the app can you confirm you see similar behavior?

Update: Did get it to work for 1 minute and then it suddently stops. So I get two behaviors..sometimes bluetooth and wifi screw up...sometimes it works but only for 1 minute.. very strange.

Thanks.

[Xoom Android Development] drewski_1:
Same here. I removed my accounts (1 Exchange, and 1 webmail), rebooted, and it's working fine now.
[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:
We made the switch from Google email and exchange to aosp built, it shouldn't cause any issues after you install and flash the latest gapps, if you have any issues simply look at /system/app/ if you see emailgoogle.apk or exchangegoogle.apk just delete them and reflash the gapps if you have any issues.

Here on out there shouldn't be any issues, it was just this once when making the switch.

As for the sixaxis app/ps3 remote do not have a ps3 to test to see what's going on. If you want to send me a log cat I'll see what I can do.
[Xoom Android Development] grey.ghost:
Kindle app works on 163 thanks.
[Xoom Android Development] petrossa:
It crashed, after reboot no more warnings. Guess some leftover settings. :beer:
[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:
ya thats all i got, and didnt do it any more. just the change was enough to cause it to cough once then be good. lol

also as for blue-tooth,

i went and bought a darn keyboard so i can see whats going on, simple because bt works between my laptop and xoom and my bt speakers, it must be something to do with hid so il start looking into that.

* more on hot word ( i was mobile and didnt feel i explained your options that well)

you can do one of two things as far as gnow goes,

allow the most up to date google search to install, and disable hotword detection ( device settings >> Language & Input >> SPEECH >> Voice Search and then ensure the " Hotword detection is not checked

Or

you can NOT allow google search to update and maintain your hotword detection, the choice you completely yours,

o also the correct link is now in the OP for the gapps-jb-20121216-EOS-XOOM-ONLY.zip

163 running very smoothly reinstalled gapps209 also running smoothly. Only small problem was plume premium FC'd. Cleared cache and running great since. Tremendous works guys :)

Just installed 163 and first thing I realised is that it’s faster/smoother than 162. Also noticed Google Now doesn’t work from lock screen and part of the clock is missing (see attachment)

I am getting random screen flickers... Is it only me?

I have MZ601 will that be a reason?
[Xoom Android Development] isidar:
I had the ￻̀problem of crashing email prog, tried to find emailgoogle.apk and exchangegoogle.apk, but did not find them - using Astro - only find email.apk and exchange2.apk trying to delete them unsuccseful, but I noticed, that long pressing them I had the chanche to update them, I gave it a try ... and see there mail started after updating, I only had to put in again all my accounts, and now it seems to work ...

Hope it could help someone else ... and hope it was right what I did ...

?!?!

Greetings

Isidar :)
[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:
ok two things,

first

gnow, you have to unlock the screen,

so press the little center gnow icon and swipe up, launched gnow, but device is still locked, its a new thing to 4.2 unlock the device and you will go straight to gnow.

second

as for the clock, ive noticed it also, just havent gotten to that as of yet, but it is on the list,

a quick fix is to change to AM/PM time, i know thats not ideal but its just a thought.
[Xoom Android Development] rohitece06:

[Xoom Android Development] ATZ-007:
Thanks for your reply :)

Re Gnow, that's what I did. Pressed the little gnow icon located center of bottom bar and swiped up but nothing happened (just what you see on screenshot).
[Xoom Android Development] ahmed007:
i have random screen flicks as well
[Xoom Android Development] Jethro10:
Thanks so much for this. It really helps us extend the life of the xoom.

Out of curiosity, what caused the kindle app to fail, seems strange it was "singled" out by the system to be bad.

thanks

Currently using Teameos 12/19 and updated Teameos Gapps. The ROM continues to get better. I have no problems as of now with the exception of Kindle App. All my other apps seem to work. Photosphere works like a charm. HDMI worked with the last ROM so anticipate it would work now. Though have not tried. Will soon. No random reboots. System memory not maxed. Thank you for all the hard work.

Just tried Kindle again. It works. Great. No idea what changed but thanks again.
[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:
You missed the part where... You have to then unlock the device. If device is locked Google now will not unlock the device. Swipe it up from a lock screen will not lunch gnow until AFTER you unlock the ttablet
[Xoom Android Development] Sk8er Boi:
I'm facing random screen flickers as well and random screen brightness drop to zero the device is working but I can absolutely see nothing the only way to get out of it is forcing the device to restart power + volume up
[Xoom Android Development] rohitece06:
One more thing, for some reason system and systemui seems to be at least 15% cpu all the time. Fixing this will probably improve battery life as well responsiveness.
[Xoom Android Development] petrossa:
The drop to zero happened to me too
[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:
Not discounting your issue, but the sod where device is still on but the screen is not on is a known 4.2.1 issue and you can find it well documented here http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40019
[Xoom Android Development] FAR1007:
Is there a way to get rid of the Google search bar at the top and change the task bar from where the apps are launched from??
[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:
Use a custom launcher like nova or apex
[Xoom Android Development] iamanoopmk:
I haven't yet faced the brightness issue... But screen flickers are still there... Cannot figure out why. Again, my device is MZ601 maybe that is a factor too
[Xoom Android Development] petrossa:
OK. I guess we'll let it slide this time :D

[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:
Do not use for Xoom it won't work! And cause all sorts of issues, that why he labeled them neon.

Xoom is not a neon device.

Also if you noticed when you have flashes the Xoom only gapps if you read the read out.. Special things needed to be done to allow room to install gapps.

We had to link a bunch of stuff to the /data partition.
[Xoom Android Development] waz675:
Have now joined the ranks of EOS4 users. Great work! Breakfast time here so the daughter has commanded use of the XOOM so will be able to examine it more when I drop her off to daycare.

Looks good so far on very initial use though. Now waiting for the effen client to pay me for the website we launched on Tuesday (Friday here) so I can donate to EOS. Not a good first experience starting my web business lol.

Thumbs up to EOS, thumbs down to idiot clients who don't pay. Oh well his website account is suspended as I will pay it if I get the funds to.
[Xoom Android Development] istrait:
Same for me.... seems random...
[Xoom Android Development] petrossa:
As great as this Rom is, but it's very hard to get used to the top real estate being taken away. I can't understand what Google was thinking. It looks unpleasant the two bars around the image. Also I don't see the point of it. With my adw launcher I can hide it, but it keeps flashing by. Also it hides things I do want to see but not split. Is there anyway to get the top back down? Like the normal tablet ui?
[Xoom Android Development] Blondblueyed_girl:
I agree the top bar reduces the working height of the screen, why can we not have the two drop down bars incorporated into the bottom bar. Would also say that I'm not getting a flickering screen on my MZ604, and that HDMI is not working. All in all this version is progressing nicely.

Well done EOS Team
[Xoom Android Development] yoshitweaky:
I saw it mentioned but didnt see a reply about the fact that the xoom no longer appear on my device list under play.google.com/store.

Not a majot issue, just means I cant install apps from the play store website..
[Xoom Android Development] Blondblueyed_girl:
I'm not having any problems loading apps from the play store
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
It was not just a kindle app issue. It's complex. Just call it a brd derp. And the next person to complain about their damn screen flicker will allow me to use their xoom for target practice. YOUR SCREEN FLICKERS BECAUSE ITS NOT MEANT TO RUN 4.2! IT MAY OR MAY NOT GET FIXED IN THE FUTURE! DEAL! If it's too much to bear go back to 4.1.2. Thank you. I feel better.
[Xoom Android Development] Blondblueyed_girl:
Right on bigrushdog
[Xoom Android Development] yoshitweaky:
to clarify, not from the play store app....but from the play store website.......my other devices are listed but not my eos4 xoom

I have seen the things they do behind the scenes to bring us these continuously polished pieces of software. My hat goes odd to you team EOS the pleasure is all mine...... ;)
[Xoom Android Development] simonbarsinistr:
It's running it very well right now. You guys have done a hell of a job. I'm waiting for my favorite rom to reach 4.2 on my gnex, so the xoom is the only device I am experiencing the new version on, and it's really cool so far. Thanks!

Why wouldn't you run eos on your gnex?
[Xoom Android Development] simonbarsinistr:
I'm just a big team baked fan, their rom is exactly what I always tried to get my phone to look like. With them I just flash and it's perfect. Plus they've really grown from themers into a team that's always working to improve their product.

[Xoom Android Development] Sergio PC:
Coming from 4.1 Cyanogen.

I did install newest CWM to have correct partitions and all went well.

I do have to say (i know this is work in progress) that comparing to 4.1 it is laggy and I did get the screen flash.

Its hard to decide if you can live with the laggyness.

Thanks to the Chefs, always solid stuff coming form Team EOS.

Temp Fix for screen flicker

Temp Fix: (until they find/fix the problem)

Go to settings > about phone

Click "build number" 6 times fast

You'll see "you're now a developer" as a notification at the bottom.

Go back to settings, you'll now see developer options above 'about phone'.

Go in developer options, and click "disable hardware overlays" under the drawing section

Hope this helps

Wifi seems flaky on 163. I have had to toggle connection a few times to get it working. It will show connected, but no internet.
[Xoom Android Development] petrossa:
I had the same idea, thought it was just my nextdoor neighbors the NATO listening station. It shows white full bars which after some doing suddenly turn blue after which it works flawlessly. I've set it to never switch wifi off, that helps.
[Xoom Android Development] EDNYLaw:
WIFI works perfect here. Tried in many different places, home, public... had an issue connecting to Google's servers (grayed out bars) at one point but that was just the router, reset the router and good to go.

If you're having issues with WIFI it's likely on your end, like the router or your tablet. Try rebooting either and it will likely clear up.

I have had this issue for a while with eos ROMs, but has anyone gotten the time warner cable app to work? It worked in like Oct on some of the nightly builds but ever since the 3.0 build I've been having issues. I of course tried the workaround for rooted devices in this new version and it didn't work either. I know the workaround I'm doing works, because it works on my phone which is running cm 10. Just wondered if anyone else was able to get the Time Warner Cable app to work on there Xoom.
[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:
by it doesnt work, what exactly does not work,

do is say "sorry no support for you your rooted?"

or just FC or what?
[Xoom Android Development] SWhetsel:
When I go to live TV I just get a black screen. I don't get the force close, I don't get the rooted message. I renamed superuser to something else and deleted the test keys line from my build prop file. Then when I open the TWC app and go to live TV I just get a black screen with no video or audio.

PS. I should mention that this exact same thing works fine on my phone. Just not on this device.

Don't worry. I'm removing the cpu clock feature. Our implementation is not adequate for most devices. Third party apps do a far better job at tweaking kernels. Also it's just too much work to make it work on the large variety of supported devices.

[Xoom Android Development] NWinfuse:
hey guys, I updated from 155 to 156 last night but had numerous force closes of sytem and launcher as well as google framework services so I decided to just restore my nandroid and wait for the next update but something went wrong and now I apparently have no OS installed...at least that is the message that is displaying in TWRP when I get into recovery. I attempted to just flash a fresh rom but cannot seem to access any in internal or external storage through recovery (it seems as though my data has been wiped somehow).

Any suggestions how to get back in working order? I was thinking that maybe I could just flash boot.img and system.img from one of the roms through fastboot in order to get my Xoom back in order again...should this work? If not, anyone have suggestions as to how I can get my Xoom back from the semi-brick it is right now. I know it's possible but I've never had things go so wrong before so haven't had to mess with this.

btw, I did a little rooting around the forum before asking this so any help would be greatly appreciated

Make sure you have the latest twrp recovery. I had similar issues and couldn't restore my backup until I flashed twrp 2.3.2.3
[Xoom Android Development] NWinfuse:
Thanks, I'll try that. I am a little worried that the back up is corrupted though so still wondering if my idea to flash the boot.img and sytem.img through fastboot will work if i need to go that route. i am not worried about losing my data as I regularly back up my Xoom to my computer anyway and I'm pretty sure data got wiped somehow anyway
[Xoom Android Development] WarLion:
you need to get use to backup on external sdcard
[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:
Fastboot flash the newest twrp (link in my Sig) then boot into recovery use the built in file manager and navigate to /data/media/0/TWRP and locate your backups. Then move the entire twrp folder to your external sdcard, which in twrp is at /sdcard.

Then got back to home screen of twrp and select restore. And choose the external sdcard.
[Xoom Android Development] NWinfuse:
The interesting thing here is my backups were on the external sd card they simply disappeared after doing the reflash of nandroid
[Xoom Android Development] runandhide05:
That's odd, I would then suggest a clean install of whichever ROM+gapps and then go from there.
[Xoom Android Development] NWinfuse:
Thanks for the advice, I will try this as soon as I get home to my computer

If you switch to tablet ui, and then use an app that hides the nav bar icons by default (with the 3 faint white dots), it still shows the dots in the middle of the screen, for the phone ui. I'll add a screenshot shortly showing what I mean
