I am really enjoying this ROM and love updating it whenever a new build appears.

That being said, the last couple of builds, for me, my Xoom seemed slow. I use a bluetooth mouse and keyboard and with the recent builds, the connection periodically gets lost. I won't say unstable, just switching pages are slow, mouse movement was jerky. Also, I had an intermittent issue where the tablet would not wake up and would be forced to do a hard reset.

I have gone back to the 20130722 build, which was the last one that worked best for me.

I too have re-flashed gapps and no camera and gallery. Not a big deal, as I don't use them on the tablet.
[Xoom Android Development] halomademeapc:
Any way to unlock this thing from the keyboard?
[Xoom Android Development] jellingson:
Reflashed my Xoom back to factory 3.x image (from Motorola). Allowed it to update itself up to Android 4.0.4. Then did a recovery backup (so it is basically a blank stock 4.0.4 image for me). Then did the nightly ROM + unified GApps. Works well! Still have camera and gallery. About 25MB of space free on the system partition.

Seems that if you have been using previous ROMS (I tried CM10), that the nightly doesn't actually wipe out the entire system partition. So there wasn't much free space. Did a CM10 to CM10.1 nightly + GApps and lost camera and gallery and had only 5KB of free space. Yeah... 5 kilobytes.

Also, with new fresh clean install, Google+ does not work completely. Locations won't show a map (blank tiles). This is fixed by moving Google+ to the system (I used Titanium Backup to do it). But first had to move the ASOP keyboard from system to user app to get enough free space. Now Google+ works correctly. (This is a know Google+ issue).

The only thing left is that Google Search can't be upgraded (breaks if you force it to upgrade from Play Store). So the current version in GApps doesn't know that Latitude is gone from Maps and so complains.

Got the last CM update on my Wingray but wifi icon on top is greyed !!! Tried different wifis, deleting them, readding them !!! Google Play doesn't work anymore (No connection), I tried deleting my Google accounts from the tablet but now while trying to add one, I get "An error occurred communicating with Google servers"...

PLEASE WHAT TO DO ???????????
[Xoom Android Development] JohnKuczek:
Wait a while. It may be an issue with googles servers, or a network issue between you and google.
[Xoom Android Development] kinder771:
Ok but I'm already waiting since yesterday...

Thx though for your answer.
[Xoom Android Development] JohnKuczek:
Have you tried any alternate networks? If so, try redownloading and flash again.
[Xoom Android Development] kinder771:
Tried both of these methods already...

EDIT : It was the router :rolleyes: Did a full reset...

Is our beloved xoom going be 10.2 (android 4.3)?
[Xoom Android Development] compuguy1088:
Nope, as of CM 10.1 they are pulling support for devices that lack the NEON instruction set. They will continue to post nightlies until they move on to 10.2.

[Xoom Android Development] jellingson:
Now with Verizon releasing the last update for their XOOM (Stingray) - Android 4.1.2... Is there anything to be gleamed from it to help the 4.2.2 Stingray (CM10.1) work? I haven't looked, perhaps a new modem firmware in there?

Even though I don't use Verizon anymore, I still use the Stringray ROM in the belief it still can use cell towers for aGPS and datetime setting. I wonder if I'm right?

WeFi Pro sure has helped me keep connectivity without having 4G/LTE from Verizon anymore.
[Xoom Android Development] halomademeapc:
Are any developers here planning to try making some unofficial 10.2 builds?
[Xoom Android Development] maxvsmith:
Been on nightly 706 for a while and loved using it while I was on a trip. Used a micro hdmi cable to plug my tablet into the tv and the tablet froze and it was partially cut off on the tv.

I used two different cables and some result. I plugged in my tf300t into the tv with both cables and it worked perfectly. Just updated to 802 and still hdmi output isn't working. Does anyone know a fix to this. I even got a Motorola hdmi micro cable with the tablet so there has got to be some way to get it working. Really trying to replace my tf300t with this tablet and so far (besides the camera) this is the only obstacle.

Thanks.

Radio firmware incompatibility

The new CDMA/LTE radio firmware included in the Verizon 4G XOOM Android 4.1.2 update seems to be incompatible with current CM10.1 Stingray nightly builds. In settings, baseband is listed as "unknown".

I no longer use Verizon, but liked having the 4G modem as I think it still provides network time and aGPS. (Am I wrong?)

UPDATE:

Weird. Now it shows the CMDA (3G) side of the modem. Baseband says "CMDA_N_03.1A.71P"... missing the LTE portion of the baseband.

So guess you can disregard the above.
[Xoom Android Development] jellingson:
My procedures

For other new people, here's what I'm doing and it works great:

First install:

1) Using Fastboot, flash XOOM back to factory stock (Honeycomb). Don't lock it (need it unlocked) and don't let it update the OS... just a waste of time.

2) Install CWM recovery (use most current version).

3) Install CM10.1 nightly

4) Install GApps Unified version (post #2)

5) Let Play Store update anything it likes.

6) Install the apps you want to use, including Google+ and Titanium Backup.

7) Using Titanium Backup, move "Android keyboard (AOSP)" from system app to user app (need the space)

8) Using Titanium Backup, move Google+ from user app to system app (fixes the "Location" problem)

9) Using Titanium Backup, backup Google+ and Gallery.

-DONE-

Nightly updates:

1) Let system install nightly update - Google+, camera, and gallery will disappear.

2) Use Titanium Backup to move "Android keyboard (AOSP)" to user file (freeing some system memory)

4) Use Titanium Backup to restore Google+ and Gallery.

-DONE-

If I find myself with a lot of time on my hands, I'll write a real step by step w/ links to everything. Meanwhile, this should help others with camera/gallery/Google+ issues.
[Xoom Android Development] uzi2:
For updates, why not just delete latinime.apk from the ROM .zip

You already have it as a user app, so you can just flash the nightly with it removed.

Swyped from my xoom
[Xoom Android Development] jellingson:
I use the built-in updater in settings to do the updates. I don't reconnect my tablet to my PC. But otherwise, sounds like that might help.

I did update my procedure for nightly updates. No more going back into recovery mode. Seems like the only thing that goes missing from running the nightly update is the Google+ and Gallery apk's.

Now looking into seeing if the QuickSearchBox.apk from another ROM distributor (EOS4?) will give me back the widget for Google Now Search. I liked having it while testing the Verizon 4.1.2 stock ROM.

Also, I see the unified GApps has stuff for the face unlock feature, but I don't see it running (not that I would rely on it)... anyone know what is stopping it from installing? Is it system space?
[Xoom Android Development] uzi2:
Maybe a different approach would help if you want to use the built-in updater. Use BaNkS Gapps to install only the core Gapps and download what else you need from Play. This can save a lot of System space.

I'm pretty sure Face Unlock does not work with the Xoom or other non-neon devices and for this reason it is excluded by the ROM devs.
[Xoom Android Development] jellingson:
That appears to be for the Nexus 4. I thought we had further differences in hardware requiring the use of the unified version in post #2? Otherwise, I have tried the other "minimalistic" GApps found on CM's website... but it caused some apps to just not work anymore. (Google Now Search being one of them).

But, hey... I'm always up for trying something else. Will report on what I find out.
[Xoom Android Development] uzi2:
I'm currently using them with this ROM and Google Now Search is working fine. I can confirm that they also work well with EOS4 and I'm using the 4.3 version with CM10.2 on a Samsung Galaxy S (4.0) Music Player - originally GB

Is there an app /setting to put the task bar clock in the middle
[Xoom Android Development] maxvsmith:
I like the design of this tablet and feel. I know TF300T is slimmer and lighter but there is just something unique about the xoom and also where the ports are located I like as well. Especially the closed cover for micro sd card slot. Only thing I don't like are volume buttons. My TF300T lost bluetooth after 4.2 OTA update on stock. I haven't gotten around to rooting it again I'm not really familiar with unlocking bootloaders. Doing that with the xoom was the first time I've ever messed with a bootloader. I got lucky in the past where it was much easier to root the TF300T and even the TF101 in the past. Also for some reason I'm not sure if it's CM10 but this xoom flies and is so much faster in comparison to my TF300T. Don't get me wrong the TF300T might have tegra 3 but for some reason it lags and sort of locks up frequently. Sometimes when using websites, browsing through apps, or updating apps. But it's perfectly speedy on the XOOM and games play really well on the XOOM too I'm impressed. I have done some research and it seems like the Nexus 10 is a true successor to the Xoom.

Also I'm going to test this out soon but I saw on one of the newer nightlies there was Google Voice+ in my app drawer and it says SMS for google voice can be enabled now. I'm not sure if anyone else has used it yet or how well it works but that is an amazing feature if it works. Now if only the HDMI out works (TF300T works on tv in my room Xoom doesn't. On older LCD TV in another room both tablets work..strange) and if only I could update google search. For some reason I can't update google search because it says something like signature doesn't match. Going into TB and deleting google search and installing it from the play store doesn't work either. That's a shame.

Having to re-flash gapps for each nightly isn't really that big of a deal either. At least for me.
[Xoom Android Development] iamezio:
I think you should try custom rom on the TF300T.. I have an OMAP4430 phone running Carbon 4.2.2 , its light years ahead of the xoom when it comes to speed.
[Xoom Android Development] jellingson:
Here's the follow-up. This worked well: Flash CM10.1, then the unified GApps (to get the system apps mapped to data partition and get a working photosphere/gallery), then the BaNkS GApps. I now have Google Now widget and photosphere and such. I did have to turn off "hot words" though, but that's no biggie.
[Xoom Android Development] alex_72gr:
What are banks gapps?
[Xoom Android Development] notbrodie:
it's a stripped down to the core gapps package. it basically only includes the play store and whatever libs the device requires to operate. it doesn't have any apps that can be downloaded from play store (ie: gmail, maps, hangouts, etc)

also, banks gapps works fine for me.

Is there a 4.2 version anywhere?
[Xoom Android Development] doubleu:
I spent this past weekend dusting off my Xoom and messed around with it a little. I had CM10.1 0615 installed on it for the longest time, but decided to try the unofficial CM10.2. One question about 10.1 though, the whole time I had it installed, my Xoom would run like a PC that just got done having a process hog up all the ram. You know how that is? Slow, sluggish, delayed responses to processing requests, etc. Is this just because CM10.1/10.2 has evolved to where the Xoom speed struggles a bit? After I sufferred from the CM10.2 bug where it won't turn on, I decided to just go back to rooted stock for now. Things seem to be running much better, although it'd be nice to have overclocking support. I suppose my questoin is, can CM10.1 run as smooth as 4.1.2 stock on the Wingray? Are there some tweaks that should be done? What is this 'TRIM' I see mentioned? I tried googling that, as-well-as searching XDA, and the only posts I could find were the ones where I saw 'TRIM' mentioned (the cm10.2 thread i think).
[Xoom Android Development] audioblivious:

[Xoom Android Development] dizzy33:
CM10.1 runs a lot smoother than stock 4.1.2. Quadrant score is much higher with CM10.1 (without overclocking, I still did not overclock it), and you can also feel it just by using it. For exemple, the default web browser is much smoother with CM10.1 (just try to display "wikistrike.com" with the stock ROM, you will that this website is laggy with stock ROM, but fluid with CM10.1).

For now I didn't try CM10.2 as many people reported that it's not as fluid as CM10.1, and this is my main concern.
[Xoom Android Development] doubleu:
Hmm, unfortunately that hasn't been my experience. Are there any tweaks I should be doing in the developer settings or something? Some kind of memory tweak or something?

[Xoom Android Development] dizzy33:
The only "tweak" I did, but this has to be done on any Jeally Bean release, is in the developper settings "Force GPU rendering".

I did that on both my stock 4.1.2 Xoom and on my CM10.1 Xoom (I have two Xoom).

Again, I did not overclock on my CM10.1 Xoom.

[Xoom Android Development] NYZack:
I need to encrypt my Xoom for work. I installed the latest CM10.1 nightly and the GAPPs in post 2 and (of course) was able to boot just fine before encrypting. However, after encrypting, the AOSP keyboard constantly crashed when it came time to enter my encryption phrase on booting, so that I could never boot. It seems that the keyboard packaged with CM10.1 works fine, but this appears to be overwritten by the GAPPs - that is, I was able to boot my encrypted Xoom if I only installed CM10.1 but not if I installed the GAPPs in post 2. I was able to work around this by:

1. Installing CM10.1

2. Installing the GAPPs in post 2

3. Using the file manager in TWRP to erase LatinIME.apk in /system/app and libjni_latinime.so in /system/lib after mounting the System partition

4. Using the file manager in TWRP to copy LatinIME.apk and libjni_latinime.so from the CM10.1 package (which I extracted separately to my SD card by opening the zip on my computer) back to their respective locations in the /system directory

5. Changing the permissions of LatinIME.apk to 644 using the file manager in TWRP

6. Fixing permissions in TWRP

This allowed me to boot my encrypted Xoom without a problem, with the GAPPs installed. I don't know if all of steps 3-6 were necessary. I wonder if Steady Hawkin can modify the post 2 GAPPs to include the keyboard packaged with the CM10.1 nightly (or not to install a new keyboard at all) so that this isn't a problem.

[Xoom Android Development] bluek24a4:
Ive been updating to the "nightlys" that come out each week. Currently on the latest one. I think there's gapps in the op that I used. I believe I also tried just regular gapps for 4.2.2 once. The key is to edit the latinime apk file down to the one language you use and the main file to save on system space.
[Xoom Android Development] RedBullet:
THanks, I'll give that a try. I think 10.1 is based on android 4.3? So you installed the latest gapps?

Also, can you explain how you edited the latinIME.apk down to one language? and how it was applied? Never done that before...

Thanks in advance!
[Xoom Android Development] bluek24a4:
10.1 is 4.2.2 and 10.2 is based on 4.3. Use gapps specifically for 10.1.

To edit latinime.apk, you open the ROM, go to system/app/latinime.apk and then go to res/raw and delete all the languages besides main.dict and main_en.dict. I'm using WinRAR to do all this.

This saves a very necessary almost 30 megabytes of system storage. This makes it so you don't lose your camera/gallery apps.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
