I had that problem too. Until I cleared all my open programs before I would shut the screen off and leave it awhile. That helped me a lot on the never turning on problem.

Google text to speech engine works after using the PA modular gapps package i posted. Beware if you switch to ART runtime you will have to delete the text to speech apk from system/app and install it manually again from the playstore. Otherwise it will crash when trying to enter the settings.

[MENTION=2371134]Schischu[/MENTION], you can add that gapps package to the OP and cross the text to speech issue ;)

It should work on dalvik out of the box. Can someone on dalvik test and report ?

Im looking in to to the external SD mount problems now
[Xoom Android Development] EKershner:
I am using Dalvik with the PA Gapps from the original post and Google TTS appears to work fine. I did not have to do anything special to enable.

Looking forward to the SD card fix. ;)

Any way to make the "NO SERVICE"on the lock screen go away?

I've been using this ROM as a daily driver for several days now and I'm loving it!
[Xoom Android Development] Geeba:
Running really well!!! fantastic ROM!

One thing I cant find is the performance settings to overclock? anyone let me know where they are?

edit:

found them!

Is it me or are there no wallpapers installed? and only 1 home screen?

It seems to have phone settings too? :s
[Xoom Android Development] michie:
Install the Gapps I recommended a page back, you will have wallpapers, google now, ....

I can see in wingray fstab

/devices/platform/sdhci-tegra.2/mmc_host/mmc1 /storage/sdcard1 auto defaults

But alot of devices since kitkat use

/devices/platform/sdhci-tegra.2/mmc_host/mmc1 auto vfat defaults

And in Init.stingray

export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /storage/emulated/legacy

export SECONDARY_STORAGE /storage/sdcard1

Should be this and not secondary storage?

export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /storage/sdcard1

Please correct me if im wrong, i tinkered with this alot in the past but got out of the game a bit :)
[Xoom Android Development] Geeba:
Yeah I think I messed up... I installed the ROM... then booted up... then went back to recovery and installed the gapps later on... they dont appear to have taken correctly.... I wasn't prompted to login to google when it rebooted...

Is it best to install the ROM and gapps at the same time?
[Xoom Android Development] spychodelics:
Hi there, I would love to see a omnirom working on my Xoom, so i appreciate all the the work is getting done. Currently im running cm 10.1 and I am asking myself either it's possible to install the Wingray version onto my everest mz601. It should be working fine since the difference only includes the missing RIL? Shouldn't it? I've never used the umts stuff. I would only need working wlan. Thank you.
[Xoom Android Development] michie:
I always install rom and gapps at the same time, just dont forget to wipe cache and dalvik.

I use a everest too, you just loose the 3G functionality by flashing a wingray rom. I only use wifi anyway

I think it's something with notification area... I have a lot of email accounts, Facebook, AnyDo, Weather, and so on... The notification led it's blinking white (don't know if it's multicolored) and charging led it's white or green but everything else it's dead... only long press power button + vol up it's working... And this it's happen since last 4-5 updates...
[Xoom Android Development] b1g1an:
Most stable version for me was the one before the charging light was fixed, then Chrome worked properly and there were no battery problems.
[Xoom Android Development] dyskinesia:

[Xoom Android Development] b1g1an:
From the changelog it looks like it was the 8 or 11 Jan version.
[Xoom Android Development] badaas:
+1 as it's gone on this ROM has got a bit worse especially screen tearing has come back, battery drains more. This may be kitkat as it's evolved so no disrespect to the Dev.

[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
I've also had trouble with this happening in the 20140523 Wingray version. Thought it was just me that had experienced this. Other than this happening sometimes when I turn the screen off and attempt to turn the screen back on later, this version of Omnirom is absolutely superior to any of the former OS's, and I love it.

Omnirom 4.4.4

For some time now, I've been using Omnirom 4.4.2 with very few complaints.

Yesterday I thought I'd try CM11's Android 4.4.4. After installing, there were several areas where I had problems with the update. Not the least of which was part of the Gapps software that became problematic. The major problem manifested itself this morning when I turned on my tablet and discovered that it locked up on the boot animation.

Then I attempted to return to Omnirom ver. 20140523! Couldn't do it. The attempt to reinstall failed. Then I tried the EOS 4.4.4. Honestly there were problems with the install, with several programs behaving badly, and the upper right corner box not displaying properly.

Finally then I decided to try Omnirom by redownloading, and discovered, as of today, that Omnirom is up to Android 4.4.4,ver. 20140702.Yay! The installation was flawless, and the operation is smooth as silk. The only thing I don't like about it at this point is the boot animation. Thanks so much guys.I really like Omnirom, even though I don't know what the improvements are yet.

Thanks Again.

Minor problems with Omnirom Android 4.4.4

Well, yesterday I upgraded my Xoom MZ600 to Omnirom 4.4.4 for Wingray. Ver. 20140702. In most ways it runs well, but at the bottom of the screen, next to the Home button, the button that controls the background task switching does not work. Is there a workaround for this?

Thanks so much in advance.

By the way, where should I send donations to aid in development of the Omnirom OS for Xoom. This is a very helpful and elegant OS.

Thanks again,

Rob
[Xoom Android Development] istrait:
Interesting... Saw your post yesterday and downloaded and installed... you are right, it is a little faster and seems not to be as prone to lockup. My recentapps button works fine though. Do you have the setting turned on that uses omnl switch instead of the recent tasks screen?
[Xoom Android Development] b1g1an:
Yep, think we may have a winner, Chrome is working fine as is the Google keyboard and no battery probs so far.

Very nearly gave up and went back to MyAndroid, thank you.

Oh man, I'm loving the 4.4.4 update. It's running silky smooth without any lockups or battery issues of the previous release.

Give it time, I had my first lock up today and Chrome's smooth running didn't last long, crashing and then sucking the battery dry in the background. Google keyboard seems fine still though!!! Something very wrong happened a few months back.
[Xoom Android Development] dsbnz:
BRD from EOS Wingray 4.4.4 thread gave some detail and insight into chrome, something to do with neon / non-neon (cant remember which) support being dropped sometime ago from chrome. The only stable chrome versions on xoom appear to be up to v33.

[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
I'm having a few problems

Over the last few days I have been having a few problems.

I'm running Omnirom version 20140708.

I'm not sure that these problems may not be related to the Gapps I'm using, but thought I'd run these issues by everybody.

The first that I'd seen was that the recent apps tab wasn't working right (Somebody recommended using the Omnirom Switch-Good call-I like it). The other problems I'm having are that the installation package won't allow me to install the Kit Kat hacked version of Flash. Next, pico ttp won't work(I can't speak and have the tablet type). Google Maps doesn't work, and my tablet guitar synthesizer (Solo) won't work.

Otherwise I just love the whole Omnirom experience.

The Gapps I'm using is "pa_gapps-stock-4.4.4-20140620-signed.zip"

Anyone have any ideas?
[Xoom Android Development] kikuto:
Anyone can post a link to download OmniSwitch app(Titanium backup of the app)?

[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
If you download the latest Omnirom Os, and look at the Zip file, when you open it up, look in the "system" folder, find the "priv-app" folder, and in there you will find the "omni-switch.apk".

Thanks so much for your patience.

PS-By the way, still like the Omnirom Switch better than the standard recent applications button.

Well, just one problem. Anybody have any ideas why the Speech to text feature might not be working with the latest Omnirom/GAPPS combination? Don't know exactly what I did yet, but got this fixed.

Ok, I've been updating these routinely for a while. Something happened with 07/08 version I lost root. I tried reflashing ROM with/without su from first post. I've tried installing su fresh from play store. (Shows installed but not accessible) wiped davlik/cache. Fresh install of rom doesn't help. What am I missing? I can still get into twrp but root access is not possible. Quick reroot possible? Currently traveling so xoom only methods preferred.

How you add more screens at the launcher?
[Xoom Android Development] b1g1an:
Bog standard KitKat.
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
Do you have access to an SU zip file from TWRP Recovery? If so, you just flash this and it will restore your root to the tablet unless there is trouble with the SU zip file. In which case you might want to use the SU zip file that I've enclosed here.

Blessings,

Rob
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
Also, you might want to use an sdcard reader to copy the contents of your former sdcard to the new card. I hope you have an OTG cable or access to a PC to do this. You will need some way to do this swiftly. Then remove the sdcard reader, unmount your current card, and shut the tablet down. Remove the former sdcard from it's slot and insert the new card. Boot the tablet. Check to make sure the new card is recognised. If not, mount the card. That should do it.

I did this same thing when I went first from a 16 to a 32 Gig card, then to a 64 Gig card, and finally to the present 128 Gig card I have now. Have your programs on the internal card but write data to the external.

Kit Kat handles files differently than former OSs did. Even so, there's a vast improvement with the present Xoom versions over the early Kit Kat roms.

Blessings,

Rob

Open up an install widget screen by touching your home screen, then holding down your finger on the screen till you access this settings menu. Chose something like a clock display, hold your finger on it. When the placement screen comes up, drag the clock over to the right till you get a new screen and release your finger. This will give you a new screen. I think you can have as many as 10 screens. I've actually found that 4 are more than enough for me.

I just installed the new CM11 coming from stock Android 4.01. I really don't see the gain in performance, playing hd videos is the same and the system sometimes freeze a little bit. Also some applications I own that used to work with stock Android, now cannot access external sdcard. Then I will give a try to Omnirom. Could you tell me what to do to install Omnirom, step by step please.

Mz604 TWRP 2.6.3.0 R.A.H BigPart Edition Recovery, cm11
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
There were a lot of reasons why I went from a stock Rom to a custom Rom on my Xoom. One of these had to do with smoother operation,a little faster operation, more flexibility, etcetera. Actually I don't remember all the reasons, but with the current state of Android 4.4.4, I happen to be very happy with my tablet.

The one thing I wasn't happy about at the time because I had just bought a 64 gig sdcard was that the new Rom wouldn't allow me to install programs to run off of the external sdcard. I've since found out that this is no problem, because the Kit Kat Rom does some interesting things with memory that allows the tablet to run better, and since I have 268 high memory intensive programs on the tablet that work perfectly, I'm pretty happy.

With the present work that I do, and the fact that most programs will now allow you to keep your data on the external sdcard, this has meant that Google now keeps tabs on most of my apps, to reinstall the basic app when you upgrade. Your data remains safe, and recoverable from the sdcard. Even so, you will want to use something like Rom Toolbox or Titanium Backup to backup your programs to your external scared since Google cannot keep track of some upgrades to the programs, and special links to data used by the programs. DO NOT PROCEED UNLESS YOU HAVE BACKED YOUR FILES UP.

The first thing you need to do after backing up your files is to find, and download the latest TWRP Big Part Recovery for the Xoom here at XDA Developers. Make sure that this, and all the other files you will need are downloaded to the root directory of your external sdcard. Second, check, and download the latest Omnirom Rom from the beginning of this thread. Third, search for the latest full PA_GAPPS zip file and download this.You will also need to find, and download the latest SU app from XDA (do not try to install this from the play store at this time.)

Now, having done all this, because of the lateness of the hour, I'm going to sign off and get some much needed sleep. I well get back with you tomorrow.

Good night for now.

Blessings,

Rob
[Xoom Android Development] coro1937:
Thanks for the answer. I will give Omnirom a try. Could you tell me how to install it step by step (TWRP 2.6.3.0 R.A.H BigPart Edition Recovery, is already installed) by the way, I installed superSU, from play store because I was told that it could fix the problem I have with the applications that can't access the external sdcard , it didnt work
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
Hi,

I'd like to encourage you to upgrade your TWRP to ver 2.7.1 . Anyway, after you do this, do a factory reset, then, while you are still in Recovery, install the latest version of the Omnirom Rom, install the latest PA_GAPPS, and the Supervisor zip. After all of this finishes installing, and says that everything installed was successful, now reboot the system.

This might take some time. Anyway, once this is done, you'll have to go through a whole bunch of self-explanatory steps. After all of this is done, you'll have a bunch of files being reinstalled or updated from the Google Store. Finally, I'd encourage you to install Super SU from the Play Store, not because your tablet isn't rooted, but because, for some reason, the tablet won't recognise root unless you do this. Make sure your backup software is installed, and then reinstall everything from your backup software. If you have trouble, I'm here and happy to help.

Blessings,

Rob
[Xoom Android Development] dizzy33:
You are right, CM11, or any other 4.4 custom ROM, will not improve performances over stock 4.0.1. Only stock 4.1.2 ROM and CM10 are faster and smoother than stock 4.0.1.

The fastest and smoothest ROM is CM10 (Android 4.1.2), Omnirom and CM11 are not as smooth and fast as this ROM :quadrant results are quite the same as CM10, but fluidity is not as good as CM10.

Performances decrease (loss of fluidity) started with CM10.1.

I tried every 4.4 ROMs for the Xoom, they all did an excellent job, but as my main concern is fluidity, I had to go back to CM10 to have the smoothest experience. Also stability and compatibility is the best with CM10.
[Xoom Android Development] taninos:
Are you using the stable version of CM10? I mean, the one we can find here: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=wingray&type=stable

Which kernel are you using with the CM10? Are you overclocking the CM10?

Thanks in advance.
[Xoom Android Development] dizzy33:
I am using the last nightly of CM10 : cm-10-20130104-NIGHTLY-wingray.zip

I just tried again today all the latest 4.4.4 Roms : CM11, Omnirom, EOS ... None are as fluide and smooth as the CM10 ROM ...

Reverting one more time to CM10 now ...
[Xoom Android Development] taninos:
Thank you man, I think I'll also step back to the CM10.

(I beg your pardon for trolling this topic).

Best.
[Xoom Android Development] dizzy33:
I forgot to say that overclocking is not necessary. Using CM10 at 1Ghz will be more fluid and smooth than an overclocked 4.4 Rom.

With CM10, you can overclock upto 1.7Ghz anyway if needed.

Something else you need to know : the proper Gapps to use with CM10 is "gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip" (just Google it).

I tried some other "minimalized" Gapps files for 4.1.2, but it does not seem to be better.
[Xoom Android Development] taninos:
Thanks again my friend. Could you upload anywhere the cm-10-20130104-NIGHTLY-wingray.zip? It is not longer accessible.

[Xoom Android Development] dsbnz:
How did you go from 4.4 ROM to 4.1, with regards to partitions. 4.4 ROMs require bigpart partitioning, but as far as i know there's no way to revert to stock partitions. Unless there's a bigpart boot image for cm10?
[Xoom Android Development] Obsy:
You must flash a Non BigPart Recovery.... Read this thread for revert solution!
[Xoom Android Development] dizzy33:
For the very first time I just had a problem with CM10 these days : some french TV streaming apps were not working properly (sound but no video).

So I tried for the first time the Team EOS ROM 3 (4.1.2), nightly release 155 (after 155, the Android version became 4.2, and the great smoothness has been lost then, like with other ROMs), using the same Gapps as for CM10, and now the TV streaming apps are working perfectly. This ROM as the same features as CM10, also as fast, fluid, and smooth. So I think I have now found my last ROM for my Xoom.

And there is something more : with CM10, when the Xoom was downloading something via WIFI, it was difficult to use the Xoom for something else at the same time, as it was laggy while downloading. For now with EOS, while downloading all my apps using WIFI, I have a lot less laggs, and the Xoom is perfectly usable while downloading.

You can find the Team EOS 3 Rom here, choose the 155 release :

https://goo.im/devs/teameos/roms/eos3/nightlies/wingray/#
