Can't wait to see that! Xoom has been neglected on my desk for a while. I need to dust it off and get it charged and ready!
[Xoom Android Development] Schischu:
More or less. Still no idea why, but it seems that there is an upper limit for the initramfs archive (~500kbytes) which is way beyond the normal linux limit for this archive.

I replaced the init binary with a smaller one and moved healthd from /sbin to /system/bin, that way I'm way beyond the limit.

Edit: Current progress

Not working:

WiFi - Hangs at "Obtaining IP address"

Audio - audio.primary.stingray causes crash in audiopolicy mangager

Camera - "Expected to get non-empty characteristics"

Browser - Unsupported ABI: null

Working:

Everything else as far as I can see

Holy Moly! This is news. How is the real performance? Is it lighter than KK? Thanks a bunch for keeping the Xoom alive :)

You need to be on bigpart twrp, not cwm.
[Xoom Android Development] notbrodie:
did you read the directions? This requires you complete the bigpart operation, which requires the use of bigpart modified twrp

Sent from my Xoom Wifi

thx try to find what it is :) and thx for the quick reply )
[Xoom Android Development] logitechor:
Updated to the latest version. Very good job. Nice to see SD Card working. Seems smoother then it has been. Thank you. Used the delete Google tts and reinstalled from Google Play to get Text to Speech working.
[Xoom Android Development] Kaiya_FL:
Well I carefully followed the BigPart instructions step by step then installed the ROM, boot image, and GApps and now I am stuck at the Dual Core screen. :crying: Guess it's no Kitkat for me. Back to what I was using before.

ETA: Okay, maybe I spoke too soon. Went back, wiped, and reinstalled. I think I have lift off :laugh:
[Xoom Android Development] bubba911:
I saw that the SD card mounting issue was fixed, I think it's finally time for me to take the plunge!!! Now to research BigPart Repartition thoroughly to get this sucker started!
[Xoom Android Development] darren28:
download google search from the play store, it works a treat
[Xoom Android Development] Geeba:
Wow SD card fix was quick! Fantastic... Can I just flash it over the top? Dirty flash? Or have I got to start over?

Anyone wondering whether to flash this or not... Do it!!! I used this ROM all evening last night... Its fast, very smooth and stable! Easily better than the 4.2.2 I was running before.;)
[Xoom Android Development] murigny64:
Wow ! Nice job ! I Côme back to bigpart and i'll install this new one .
[Xoom Android Development] spychodelics:
I did a dirty flash, no problems so far.
[Xoom Android Development] sepia66:
White background after scrolling homescreens

Using latest ROM. No problems so far. Even Google Now working from homescreen. Great! Just wanted to report that when scrolling, sometimes the white transparency which shows up does not clear immediately. Otherwise very good work.
[Xoom Android Development] murigny64:
Very nice.

2 questions:

External storage is "sdcard1"

Internal storage is "0" --> why not "sdcard0" ?

Icon are a little biggest than other builds (4.1 / 4.2) and seems to be blurred. why ?
[Xoom Android Development] spychodelics:
I think that's because of the symlink.
[Xoom Android Development] Kaiya_FL:
A bit of a silly question, but where are the emoji? I downloaded SwiftKey beta and none show up but they show up fine on my S4 using that keyboard. :confused:
[Xoom Android Development] RoryPG:
Thank you, Schischu!

Thank you, Schischu, for ruining my attempt to buy a Nexus 7, LG G Pad 8 or iPad mini yesterday! Couldn't find the LG in Canada. Nexus 7 screen is too small for me. And I didn't want to jump to iOS. So, I came home defeated, determined to make a choice and go out today and put my Xoom running 4.2.2 to rest forever.

Then, I came upon this thread! I thought, "Perfect! I can brick my Xoom repartioning and my wife will have to let me buy a new tablet!" And I nearly succeeded. When I was following the install instructions, I kept getting stuck on the Motorola boot screen. I was installing the ROM, boot image and gapps, in that order. I then tried installing the boot image first, then ROM and then gapps and it booted. Odd, as it is the opposite of the Repartioning guide.

It looks like I discovered this ROM at exactly the right day, as the Dec 27 version is running perfectly. Only issue is very minor: the "No Service" notice on the lock screen. But, "Okay, Google" works. I can overclock to 1.6 without issue. Switched to Art. Rooted by installing the SuperSU from recovery. No lag. Very snappy, actually.

More accurate instructions in the original post to this thread would help a bit (e.g. click on this link and follow the BigPart Repartition guide, which gapps to use --you list three-- which order to install, purpose of installing SuperSU in recovery --not Play Store-- to get root, proper steps to upgrade this ROM as you release new versions.)

So, Schischu, you ruined my Christmas by restoring my Xoom to something I couldn't improve on if I bought a new tablet in the store! I am stuck with this perfectly running three year old Xoom, working better than the day I bought it! Thanks!!!!!
[Xoom Android Development] dkahs23:
Yes Thanks for giving us Kit Kat and giving new life to the Xoom.
[Xoom Android Development] Hoochie_Coochie:

[Xoom Android Development] Adler12:
Hi,

I like to install the Rom. But TWRP install fails without any clue.

Big Part is installed. My Device is a Xoom MZ601 Everest
[Xoom Android Development] dkahs23:
I don't think it's available for Everest yet. I could be wrong though.

[MENTION=2371134]Schischu[/MENTION] .. Keep working hard.. I personally appreciate your efforts and I look forward to trying your new updates to my Xoom Wingray .. This is great work ..
[Xoom Android Development] sheenswizner:
Awesome schischu!

You are the only hope for us!

Thanks mate!

I am still using xoom and cannot switch to any other 10.1 tablet.

You rock bro !
[Xoom Android Development] kouponi:
Excellent!! I hope when you finished the rom for wingray you announced a rom for Everest model
[Xoom Android Development] RedBullet:
Cool, so I've got my old Xoom. Currently running CM (android 4.2.something).

I think I need to do the bigPart of this. I saw the thread for that, I assume I can use the latest TWRP in the development thread that says it supports it.

But what exactly is the process for me going from where I am to OmniROM? Thanks for any assistance (familiar with flashing, etc)
[Xoom Android Development] kuskro:
To update to the latest roms you'll need the BigPart procedure. To do so you need to follow this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2506997

Later you can update to the new TWRP recovery.

Best.

:)
[Xoom Android Development] RedBullet:
So, it says to also flash a boot image for your ROM. I don't see one for omni rom?

Awesome! Up and running easy peasy

But how do I fix all those TTS crashes???
[Xoom Android Development] sheenswizner:
What's the status about lollipop?
[Xoom Android Development] Schischu:
Still the same. Yesterday I started uploading my sources. However all above listed bugs still exists.

It's pretty slow going, debugging the wifi dhcp issue already took me more than 20h alone...
[Xoom Android Development] unonice:
[MENTION=2371134]Schischu[/MENTION] .. Keep working on it .. hopefully you'll figure it out .. if not, we all appreciate your time and efforts .. Xoom Xoom Xoom ???
[Xoom Android Development] yel@ch:
If thats the only issue, I'd gladly set a fix IP for lollipop on the xoom ?
[Xoom Android Development] Schischu:
FYI, I'm currently rewriting the libaudio to support the new audio api. Hopefully this will solve the audio issues.

After that I will upload an image as in my opinion all important functions work.

Who really uses the camera and barometer on our old xoom anyway. ;)
[Xoom Android Development] Y_Yan_C:
The camera would be nice to have :D, BUT HELL thanks for making the bringing life back to the XOOM
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
Schischu,

Thought I'd just give you some encouragement. Recently, after a few years of hard use, my Xoom is beginning to die. Colors are giving me fits, and I struggle to get it to charge. Just thought I'd let you know where my loyalties lie. I just bought a brand new MZ604 today. Thanks for all you do for us, and when I check out where I am financially tomorrow I plan on sending a donation. I hope all others who depend on you will do the same.

By the way, the camera would be nice to have on the new Rom.

Blessings,

Rob
[Xoom Android Development] mjc2251:
Very excited to see development for my Xoom is still alive!!!
[Xoom Android Development] SaZDice:
it only shows blinking omni droid, and never boots, i believe it is a problem in cache cause in recovery the errors say cant mount cache
[Xoom Android Development] mjc2251:
Has this (lolipop) been uploaded?
[Xoom Android Development] copekyle:
I come back to this thread daily asking the same question. I'm sure it's floating around somewhere but I don't think it's officially been uploaded to the masses. Maybe [MENTION=2371134]Schischu[/MENTION] might give us an update?
[Xoom Android Development] Schischu:
Ok ;)

Current status:

The weather in Germany has been excellent these last weeks ;)

meaning of course that there is not much news to report for our xoom. :(
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
Hope you have the opportunity to really enjoy it. The weather is beautiful here in Salt Lake City . I have a lot of work to do , but fortunately, I can do it most of it sitting under the veranda with Kool-Aid and yummy foods to enjoy while doing it , yay !

[Xoom Android Development] s_u_n:
I am re-visiting this part of the forums after a very long time.

On my MZ604, which is now used by my parents just for basic stuff, I have omniROM 4.4.xx (cannot remember exact version).

They have been complaining for a while that the whole system is unresponsive and lags a lot - simply unusable at times.

Not that I am complaining, but the news about Lollipop is very welcome.

Looking forward to a stable release soon.
[Xoom Android Development] Muffycheeks:
And it also crashes often when playing games.
[Xoom Android Development] daddyspud:
Just got a Xoom regular flasher. Tried to install omni ROM but it would just hang on boot screen.

When installling big part recovery and trying to wipe cache n dalvic cache it fails all the time then after a reboot my interenel storage goes to 0mbs.

So had to revert bk to stock ROM. Known have cm10.1 installed but would like onmi ROM. I feel like I'm missing something but unsure I follow the step correcly but ended up all the time with bootloop also internal storage at 0mbs

Any welcome thanks spud
[Xoom Android Development] andPS2:

[Xoom Android Development] icebergz12:
I havent kept up with build news for the sting or wingray, but lolli would be pretty cool. I still use a very lean version of omni on this device for clash of clans. It does okay. Just have to make sure nothing else is running in the background. Any news of further dev work on this ancient but bulletproof device would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Xoom Android Development] weaverinva:
Does the OmniRom multi window work on this rom? How enable it?
[Xoom Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
Great ROM !

hadn't thought that I'd used my Xoom anytime soon again but the bigger screen is a real plus when reading things (Kindle, PDFs via Acrobat Reader, etc.)

is it supposed to be able to play movies from the

"Play Movies & TV" app ?

cause for me it plays a few seconds and then only sound is played (when e.g. trying out Trailers) :/

tried it with overclocking the CPU to 1.4, 1.5 or even 1.7 GHz (somewhat unstable)

Thanks

Never Flashed A Custom Rom Before

Hi....

I've having trouble flashing a custom rom. I've always managed to root and flash roms know problem but now am stuck. I was running a rooted 4.1.2 before but wanted to see if I could get 4.4 to work.

I flashed Team win recovery ok and followed the instructions about wiping cache and formatting.

but deppending on the custom rom I try I either get unable to open E:.... aborted (bad) or has not been bigpart partitioned.

Can anyone help?..... I know its probably something silly in my part put can someone guide me through the process please?

I have xoom wifi tablet.

[Xoom Android Development] dog-man:
I need some help please.

I want to flash this rom to use until the Marshmallow rom is ready.

I have unlocked my UK Xoom wifi.

I go into CWM recovery and select the option to flash files from the sd card.

No files are showing. They definitely are there.

Can someone please advise me where I am going wrong?
[Xoom Android Development] chykal:
Under the install section of the OP it states that you will need the bigPart version of TWRP. CWM is not supported for bigPart ROM's.
[Xoom Android Development] dog-man:
So how do I get TWRP. Bigpart of whatever it is called if my Xoom is not seeing any files on the sd card?

Do I have to remove CWM? If I do that, I cannot get into recovery.

It's been a long time since I fiddled with my Xoom, so please excuse my ignorance.
[Xoom Android Development] shpitz461:
flash 'TWRP bigpart' in fastboot mode, easiest is to boot into fastboot mode while the tablet is running with debugging turned on.

from your computer, open a command window (cmd) and type, while the tablet is connected via USB:

Since you mentioned CWM, that means you're not even bigparted, so you'll have to follow the bigpart thread (which modifies the system partition in order to use any of the newer ROMS).
[Xoom Android Development] dog-man:
Yes, I am aware that I need to install the Bigpart file first to alter the system partition.

Must be my age, as I have previously done all this a few years ago when this rom was first released, but am struggling to remember how I did it.

Growing older is a curse! :D
[Xoom Android Development] shpitz461:
haha, well, some things you never forget, once you get back to it, i'm sure you'll remember...

Just bigpart the tablet, then install bigpart TWRP, then you're off to the races flashing bigpart ROMS.
[Xoom Android Development] dog-man:
First I need to get the Xoom to see the files on the sd card.

I am probably missing something very obvious as it is not happening for me. :(
[Xoom Android Development] shpitz461:
Is it on an external card? if so, make sure it's mounted, and is selected as source when browsing for files.
[Xoom Android Development] dog-man:
It is on an external card and the card is mounted.

I have un-mounted and re-mounted several times hoping something would happen.

In recovery, it gives the option to flash something from sd card, but no files are showing on sd card.

Very strange.

It is probably something very obvious and very trivial that I am just not seeing.

maybe I should leave it till I am more relaxed as I have been trying to do several things at once. :)
[Xoom Android Development] shpitz461:
I see. I wouldn't waste time and just do the bigpart procedure...
[Xoom Android Development] dog-man:
I can't if no files are seen on the sd card.
[Xoom Android Development] chykal:
It sounds like you are getting stuck on step 3 in the OP. Is this correct?

Try the procedure found in this thread. There are lots of helpful tips so read as much as possible of the thread before starting. I hope this helps. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2506997
[Xoom Android Development] dog-man:
I will take a look at this when I have time.

Thanks...

Yes, I am getting stuck on step 3 as no files on the sd card can be seen.

Very annoying.
[Xoom Android Development] shpitz461:
Can't you just extract the zip and flash the .img in fastboot?

Just boot into current recovery, wipe all partitions except '/sdcard'.

then reboot into bootloader.

then flash recovery using computer:

then reboot back into recovery and continue with next steps.

See if you can use the external card with the new recovery...
[Xoom Android Development] dog-man:
Have done that using a TWRP recovery image.

Don't seem to be able to get into recovery at the moment.

I shall play some more.

---------- Post added at 20:39 ---------- Previous post was at 20:14 ----------

If I try to sideload the BigPart file using ADB, I get the following result.

Now send the package you want to apply to the device with adb sideload <filename>...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

Installation aborted.

Happens every time. :(
[Xoom Android Development] dog-man:
This may be a silly question but I must ask it as it may well be the root cause of my problem.

Does it make a difference that my Xoom is a UK one?

I can get into recovery but no files are detected on my sd card which is mounted. If I try and sideload, I get 'installation aborted'.

I just can't work this out.
[Xoom Android Development] shpitz461:
it's not where you bought it, but which exact model is it.

How is the card formatted? on a pc or by the tablet? Other cards work? maybe dust in the slot or defective card slot in the tablet?

What happens when you connect it to the computer and type

Does it show it listed?

If not, try other cables, make sure you have the motorola driver (or universal adb driver) install.
[Xoom Android Development] dog-man:
Yes, the computer sees it in ADB.

It also sees the files on internal and SD card.

I am using the original Xoom cable that came with the tablet.

I have done this previously, so I am really baffled why I am failing. I follow the instructions, but because files on my card are not visible to the Xoom in recovery mode, I cannot progress.

---------- Post added at 20:48 ---------- Previous post was at 20:46 ----------

Model Number: Xoom

Build Number: JZ054K
[Xoom Android Development] shpitz461:
Model # is MZ600/601/602/604 etc...

Did you try extracting the TWRP bigpart and flash the .img in fastboot?
[Xoom Android Development] dog-man:
It's not an image file, it is an .exe file.
[Xoom Android Development] shpitz461:
What is? TWRP?

http://xdaforums.com/motorola-xoom/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-0-0-t2880998

exe files are only for Windows, and they cannot be flashed in recovery, not sure which file you're referring to.

It's a zip file, 2.8.6.0 TWRP bigpart, get it and try.
[Xoom Android Development] dog-man:
I have tried it both extracted as an .exe file and as a zip file but no files are seen on the sd card.

If I try to sideload I get what I have typed above.

I am looking at the hammer and thinking of smashing the damn thing. :)
[Xoom Android Development] shpitz461:
We're not on the same page.

I'm talking about flashing using a computer via USB, has nothing to do with sd card...

Just dowload the TWRP bigpart zip, extract it, connect tablet via USB, boot it into bootloader (fastboot), flash recovery .img file, reboot into recovery.

No sd card involved in this process...

Once you get the bigpart TWRP installed and booted, try to manage the sd card, and keep following the bigpart procedure thread.
[Xoom Android Development] dog-man:
If I extract the TWRP bigpart zip file, it is an .exe file.

Not an .img file.

Off to bed now as I am shattered.

I am grateful for you trying to help. :)
[Xoom Android Development] shpitz461:
no idea what you're doing...
[Xoom Android Development] chykal:
When you download the TWRP zip you should see

And when you unzip it you should have

No exe files. That is why you are not seeing the files on you sdcard. In recovery you can only flash zip or img files.
[Xoom Android Development] dog-man:
Inside my zipped files is a text file and an .exe file. No image file.

I have put other zip files onto the sd card ready to install this rom and they are not seen either.

I might just give up. I have been thinking about buying a more modern tablet and probably one a bit smaller as it's easier to carry around.

Thanks for trying to help. It's almost as if my Xoom is alive and is consciously refusing to co-operate, even though I follow the guides to the letter.

Never mind. :)

Got a big problem since last google update.

The homescreen is in the middle of my xoom, looks like 4:3 screen and every 5 seconds i got a message "google app stopped".

App drawer had the same issue.

When i uninstall the updates of google app, there is a message called "please update google app".

The launcher is not working anymore since this uninstalling of google.

Im able to open apps normally, but i cannot go back to homescreen.

Anyone got the same problems?
[Xoom Android Development] jaycemil:
Same here "Unfortunately, google app stopped" popup constantly. Here's where I'm at:

- complete wipe of everything

- installed omni-4.4.4-20141130-1704+0100-wingray-HOMEMADE.zip

- installed pa_gapps-modular-full-4.4.2-20131230-signed.zip

- had the popups

- wiped system

- reinstalled omni-4.4.4-20141130-1704+0100-wingray-HOMEMADE.zip

- installed pa_gapps-modular-full-4.4.4-20141025-signed.zip

- wiped cache/dalvik

Still happening. Does anyone have any suggestions?
[Xoom Android Development] jaycemil:
I did isolate the crash to the "OK Google" voice recognition. If you turn that off in Google Now the crash only happens when you click the microphone icon to do a voice search. So basically Google voice recognition doesn't work at all. Tried it in chrome from the keyboard and it also causes the crash.
[Xoom Android Development] Android2003:
I tested it out.

Since last google update, the OK Google and google search bar works again and all is fine.

Only update via google play store solved the problem. I do no other things to got it working.

No Sound (at all) After Flashing Stingray OmniROM

I just finished flashing the ROM "omni-4.4.4-latest-stingray_cdma-HOMEMADE.zip" , along with "pa_gapps-modular-pico-4.4.4-20150308-signed" and "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip" within TWRP v2.6.3. Per usual, I wiped Dalvik, cache, system, and data. The flash completed without issue and the tablet booted up normally.

However...

I discovered the tablet does not play any sounds... nothing at all... no sound from apps, nothing thru the headphones, and no system sounds whatsoever. I checked settings: no setting is turned all the way down or muted, and "Quiet Hours" is not enabled.

I can't find ANY posts reporting this issue, so I'm suspicious it might be unique to this Xoom. To test thyat theory i flashed 'omni-4.4.4-latest-stingray-HOMEMADE.zip ' (notice the lack of CDMA...) and confirmed that sound works with that ROM.

Thoughts? Suggestions?
[Xoom Android Development] Geeba:
Hmmm thats odd - I've flashed exactly the same ROM and gapps as you and my Xoom plays sound.... iPlayer, youtube, radio app and movie files all tried... :confused:
