are you building the rom with the gpu oc'd elementalx kernel? that could be what's causing the SOD's...

IIRC, [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] started building the vanilla version specifically to remedy these problems

Great ROM for Xoom. Thank for bringing the life back to the 3 years old device. But does anyone notice that the wifi never turn off thought it shows that turned off? Could see in the battery information chart.

I have working flash on this ROM, just follow instructions from here:

I just tested. It works only with Dolphin, doesn't work with the stock browser neither with Chrome beta.

I restored Dolphin and flash player, wich were working with EOS 4.2, restored both apps and data, using titanium.

In the test link provided before, I can see the balls joining toghether turning into a cube and the movie about wine too.

Maybe you should try to uninstall flash player and dolphin, delete data, and restore both apps with data. I'm using Art runtime, but i doubt it makes any difference.

Does anyone else have any issue with the Home button not working? Back button and Open Apps buttons happily working, but Home is doing nothing!

Otherwise - a brilliant job to breath old life into the old dog! (And in browser typing is actually more responsive than my new Tab 10.1 2014)

Same here, flash works perfectly in dolphin browser.
[Xoom Android Development] Schischu:
Yes I'm building with gpu overclocked.

If you think that causes problems for you you could flash ElementalX-Xoom-2.1-vanilla on top of it.

And make sure to report you findings here. ;)
[Xoom Android Development] notbrodie:

Just noticed something really weird: listening to play music, when I type anything, it sounds like the music has been slowed down. Only happens with swiftkey. Went back to AOSP keyboard and it went away.

I really wish the AOSP keyboard would add a tablet-friendly split mode

4.4.2 xoom holy cow

i know i speak for everyone who owns one of these awesome devices. THANK YOU. i thought we had reached the end of the road, but gentlemen like yourself said "no". "theres more"... thank you and the bigpart team. printing from my xoom and saying "okay google" to this 10" tab feels awesome, and with the tweaks you and others have suggested runs very smoothly. for those of you who are reluctant to do the bigpart procedure, don't be. put your movies, img files, zips, and all other necessary files on your sd01 card slot and repartition this bad boy. i repartitioned and flashed 4.4.2 to mine and wifes xooms and life is good. on mine google search and google voice had no problems. on the wifes google search seems to be having issues still. i.e. she can't change her wallpaper via the longpress procedure. what is the fix? thanks in advance.

[Xoom Android Development] AlEsC:
For info, if your Text To Speech is crashing, uninstall the ROM based Google TSS (/system/app/GoogleTTS.apk or something like that) with Titanium Backup.

Then install it from Google Play (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.tts) then select it by default in the settings.

Works for me.
[Xoom Android Development] alex_72gr:
Works for me also
[Xoom Android Development] sincro:
Diceplayer (my favorite as well) works OK in software rendering, only crashes in hardware rendering. MX player gives same results.
[Xoom Android Development] AlEsC:
MX Player Pro and Tegra2 H/W+ works for me.

I've send a report to the DicePlayer developper(s)... maybe we'll get a update.
[Xoom Android Development] b1g1an:
Would be good, gone back to BSPlayer in the meantime, now they've sorted the DTS issue, as I never thought much of MX.
[Xoom Android Development] ronald027:
thus somebody try to use speed mod here like pureperformance,killjoy,crossbreeder,flyout or even v6 supercharger??
[Xoom Android Development] RoryPG:
For those who are getting stuck on the Motorola boot screen on install, I also had this problem. There is a conflict in the bigpart repartition instructions and the Schischu instructions. Do NOT install the boot image, as described in Bigpart instructions. After you do the bigpart repartition, only install Schischu's ROM, then, Gapps, then SuperSU and reboot.

On Google TTS Text to Speech, the fix described earlier also works for me. Simply delete the Google tts apk in system/app and then reinstall from play store. Unfortunately, I have to do this every time I upgrade my ROM.

Still finding this a very stable ROM.
[Xoom Android Development] AlEsC:
I didn't test but maybe deleting GoogleTTS.apk is enough to "repair" Pico TTS.
[Xoom Android Development] RoryPG:
You may be right. I haven't tried pico. I am interested in the Google tts because of its integration in to Google Translate. The text to speech translations with pronunciation is pretty darn handy. :)
[Xoom Android Development] b1g1an:
I have installed full gapps and tts works fine with no mods necessary.

Speaking of full gapps this has obviously replaced the omni launcher3, any way I can easily add it to give it a try?
[Xoom Android Development] icebergz12:
I get" unfortunately, Google search has stopped" and I put the playstore app in my dock and it disappears after some time. Tts works great. What I've done so far: several resets, cleared date from Google search. Google search is installed and current. I don't know if these 2issues are related or not. Ideas? Thanks guys.
[Xoom Android Development] AlEsC:
Try to (re)flash pa_gapps-modular-full, this should solve everything...
[Xoom Android Development] notbrodie:
you're likely using outdated gapps. other guy recommended PA gapps, I prefer Banks core gapps. either way, make sure it is the most up-to-date version

[Xoom Android Development] h0lyc0w:
OMG. I'm so happy. I was about to give up on my Xoom. Now it's got KitKat 4.4.2. A huge thanks to Schischu and the BigPart team. This is so sweet!

The install went smooth, and the only issue I saw was the TTS crashing (as mentioned in the install notes). I'm loving how fast this ROM is.

Again, thank you.
[Xoom Android Development] icebergz12:
I flashed the full version. I will reflash if needed. Could I uninstall and reinstall Google search?

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------

I flashed identical builds and pa gapps to 2 xooms. One works fine one has this Google search issue. Looking for the most economical fix. Can I just flash banks over pa version? Should I just try dalvic wipe? Thanks
[Xoom Android Development] notbrodie:
wipe system,

flash rom,

flash gapps,

wipe cache/dalvik,

reboot

[Xoom Android Development] AlEsC:
Wiping cache and dalvik won't harm anything but I doubt it will solve anything.

If nothing works, you may try to format system & cache and reinstall the rom & gapps.
[Xoom Android Development] icebergz12:
I always follow this flash format. As I did with both devices. Straight from big part partition, so we know they were both clean. I know I can do a complete reflash but I...... Forget it. Just goes to prove you can follow every step exactly the same for 2 identical devices and one will take and one won't. Thanks anyway guys. I will figure it out.

It's possible to enable charging led ? (white on charge and green when charged) ?

[Xoom Android Development] icebergz12:
"Unfortunately, google search has stopped" I'm trying to change the wallpaper. Google search seems to work otherwise.

I'm waving the white flag. I've tried flashing the latest omni wingray (1/02) and pa gapps (12/30). Also tried banks gapps. Tried both launchers.

I have wiped everything but the SD. Flashed rom, gapps. Wipe dalvic. Flashes fine. This feature works on the other Xoom I own. What gives?

I can change the wallpaper via zedge app, but not on the home screen.

nice support OTA update..hope it will support OTG..and waiting for gpu overclocking..also more speed and fluidity to games..also more apps compatibility..
[Xoom Android Development] notbrodie:
if you've read the thread, schischu mentioned that the built-in kernel, ElementalX, includes an OC'd GPU.

I wouldn't hold my breath for app compatibility. If it isn't there, it's likely because the Xoom is a Non-Neon device. If you don't know what this is, Google it. Basically, the Xoom wasn't properly future-proofed
[Xoom Android Development] 2014:
Those who complain about fluidity and performance: Is this ROM less fluid and slower than Stock 4.1.2?
[Xoom Android Development] kuskro:
The most fluid rom is CM10.0_stable (ported from a stock 4.1.2). The stock 4.1.2 included some annoying bugs that destroy its fluidity appealing. Also the dreamcwli 4.3 is pretty good, but you do deal with some minors graphic glitches. So, right now CM10 is the option for fluidity commitment and for apps compatibility.

---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 AM ----------

Try with:

1. Wipe data , cache , dalvik cache.

2. Also, just after first step, format /system and /datadata

3. Install the ROM.

4. Install the Gapps package (last banks core is ok).

5. Set up the ROM and leave it alone for 10-15 mins.

6. Reboot again and enjoy.

Best.
[Xoom Android Development] ahmed007:
just a small question do i need to flash the gaps package every time there is an update for this ROM :confused:
[Xoom Android Development] andytl:
No mate you don't if you mean using the OTA update.
[Xoom Android Development] RoryPG:
First OTO upgrade successful!

My first OTA upgrade for this ROM. It is a Jan 6 release that hasn't been posted to this thread yet. Update edit: it just was. I am not a fan of OTA ROM upgrades as I've been burned a couple of times with the Cyanogen OTA. But, I can report this went well.

Schishu, is there a way you can add a change log option for OTA, as some other ROMs do? Would be helpful.

My "no service" notice is back on my lock screen, identical to previous ROM upgrades via recovery. Going in to system/priv-app, deleting the TeleService.apk and rebooting fixes this. Can we permanently delete this apk from the ROM, given this is Wingray?

I maintained root! Woo hoo!

Google text to speech is not broken as it is with previous recovery upgrades. Woo hoo!

On update it only optimized about 55 packages, where previous ROM upgrades optimize about 155, which I assume is related to also doing a full PA-Gapps flash.

Will report if I see anything else but it is looking good!

I will now say that Xoom is better than it has ever been, minus tiny little wrinkles such as the ones described, above.

Thanks, Schischu!

This worked. Running latest build. With minimal banks. Can't thank you enough. The only thing in your steps that was confusing/impossible(¿) is system format through twrp. I'm familiar with that process in cwm but I couldn't find a way to do that. Although it does a system format before the flash auto. I had done all of those things at one point or another but apparently the exact order is required to get rid of whatever was hanging it up. Mucho thanks. Oh yeah, love the ota gentlemen.

Hanging at the Omni splash

How long should we have to wait for the ROM to load up.

I've gone through the process of installing the BigPart TWRP and then flashed this, but then it hangs at the Omni splash animation. Does it take more than a 5 minutes?
[Xoom Android Development] notbrodie:
did you flash another kernel? the ROM has elementalx kernel already

just flash ROM, gapps, supersu, then reboot

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Xoom Android Development] Robobob1221:
I followed the guide from the OP. No other kernel.

One thing I didn't do originally was updating to the original 2.6.3 of twrp before flashing big part. So I went back and flashed the original through fastboot, and wiped and then reflashed bigpart.

Another problem seems to be not being able to mount and wipe the cache, and I think data, partitions in the bigpart recovery. Would this be the problem? When flashing gapps they seem to mount them fine.

Having read the BigPartion repo I've realised I missed the step of wiping the data partition :eek:

Done that and things seem to be okay now. Must read thoroughly! Anyways, I'll see what happens now

Anyway the glitches are definitely gone. Looking in to the app fc´s.

EDIT :

After rooting TTS and messaging fcs are gone. Going into TTS settings makes messaging app fc again but TTS keeps working...

Launcher 3 is acting up too fc´ing on wallpaper selection. Going to try a couple of things and report

TTS I removed, who needs that anyway ;)

What I'm trying to find is how to get the 2 colum settings menu back.

Also ICS like launcher would be nice. But I fear they removed it from Launcher3. :(
