[Xoom Android Development] realjumy:
Sorry guys, I had a busy weekend. Let me try to ask to your questions:

Q: OK to understand this right, now we have a new recovery and boot. Which ROM do we use? The same as before? And BigPart [MENTION=2383306]dreamcwli[/MENTION] MyWingray 4.3 is only for wingray?

A: Yes, we have new recovery and boot. For this recovery and boot you need to use the new BigPart roms. If you are not using BigPart roms, you will need to install old recovery and boot and format everything again. And yes, it seems like [MENTION=2383306]dreamcwli[/MENTION] MyWingray 4.3 is only for wingray at the moment, but brd published a version of the last EOS4 stable with the new kernel working for BigPart.

Q: Does this new space mean we can start using full blown GApps Instead of the scaled down versions we had been previously?

(I understand there may be NEON ramifications causing a NO Answer here)

A: You can use the GApps that you prefer. Now we have space enough, but scaled down versions might be slightly faster as it uses less resources (I guess).

Q: Seems like a good time to ask and reveal my limited understanding of why user space is formatted vfat. I'm a linux fan who dislikes being limited to 4096 Mb when creating a linux.img. A yes or no answer will suffice. As long as the devs are pushing the limits, can the user space (sdcard) be formatted ext2, 3 or 4?

A: I think that that is something to implement in the kernel. I think that it is easy to do and our bakers eventually will implement it.

Q: Can cm10.2 be flashed instead of an eos4 rom after the repartition?

A: You need to replace BOOT.img in the CM zip with the BigPart compatible with your Xoom, and if the kernel is compatible with CM it will work.

Q: I'm on stingray_cdma.....unless i can flash a wingray rom and boot.img after the repart?

A: No idea, but it's safer to use roms build for your device. Take a look to the previous question.

Q: im on stingray and i tried using cm10.1 as my rom and it didnt get to the bootanimation so i tried eos 3 and it works well. couldnt get eos 4 to download from goo.im

A: brd published some EOS4 working with BigPart (see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47005701&postcount=1 )

Q: I am asking again to understand this right, now we have a new recovery and boot.

Which ROM do we use? The same as before? Do we have to change the boot IMG in the ROM with the big part one?

And BigPart [MENTION=2383306]dreamcwli[/MENTION] MyWingray 4.3 is only for wingray or it can be used with everest as well? And what is its difference with the other big part in the kernel?

A: Use only BigPart roms. You will need to change the boot.img from the rom if the rom is not compatible with BigParts, but if the rom is not compatible with the new kernel, it is useless... MyWingray is compatible with Everest but you will not have 3G, I guess... But I'm not sure.

Q: That's great. [MENTION=470268]bigrushdog[/MENTION] [MENTION=697814]realjumy[/MENTION] Is there a way to get the radios for everest and stingray on a separate zip?

A: The rom must be cooked with the radios...

Q: I wanna ask you because i have my xoom forma two years, and laste time i format it and give me error with dev block mmblck or something else and i think that i could have my internal storage corrupt.. If i install your 4.3 image modded, and then the repartition, Will it works fine?? Thanks and sorry me

A: No idea.

Q: Followed the instructions for the re-partitioning. Everything worked except the Xoom cannot see the external sd card in recovery. I have re-formated it as fat32 and tried another card. When I view the files in the PC they are there. Any ideas?

A: Something something went wrong... Copy the data from the SD to your PC, format SD and put back data. Let's see if that works...
