first of all, I have no idea what laio tools are, but get rid of them. grab the adb and fastboot executables from the Android SDK (or anywhere you can find them up to date).

flash the bigpart TWRP img using fastboot

reboot to recovery

ignore encryption warning

wipe everything except sdcard

flash rom, flash gapps, reboot and enjoy omni

i don't know about almost all of us but I just used adb/fastboot like quite a few other people here.
[Xoom Android Development] NWinfuse:
Lol, reality is those of us who rooted our Xoom when it was brand new did it manually using adb commands. Lord aiotool did not even exist then. I personally bought my Xoom way back when it was first released in 2011 and rooted it shortly after.

SOS HELP

Hey guys i did all the stuff right but i forgot to flash the root...Now how can i fix that? I can't even enter recovery!
[Xoom Android Development] dsbnz:
Enable Developer options (settings -> about tablet -> click "build number" 7 times, and in the developer options are the settings for advanced reboot (recovery/bootloader..etc)

You can manually enter recovery..

* Do a reboot, and watch for when screen blanks and shows the moto boot splash logo

* Wait about 2-3 seconds, then press volume - (volume down)

* it should show something like " --> recovery "

* Press volume+ (volume up) to select recovery.

(I think i got my volume +/- combination right)

Apparently you dont need to flash root in the current updates, check .. settings -> Supersu (its just above "performance" & "about tablet" in settings list.
[Xoom Android Development] shpitz461:
or if you're already booted and have adb working correctly, connect the tab to the PC and do

adb reboot recovery
[Xoom Android Development] DrGreem:
Thanks guys that worked!!!

I had eos 3 before and as I can see the omni is not so fast, so i'm about to go back to eos 3, any thoughts..?

P.S what the bigPart means???
[Xoom Android Development] dsbnz:
Bigpart is resizing the system partition, to allow the rom to sufficiently fit into it (required for xoom 4.4 roms)

Have a read through the thread, there's a number of easy adjustments like kernel/scheduler/animation scale that help the overall experience.
[Xoom Android Development] DrGreem:
I fuc***ed it up! So I reinstaled cwrk recovery factory restored , and installed eos 3, but it stcucks in the boot screen of eos3. I can't enter recovery mode because, when I try press volume down button I get only 3 options (nvflash,rsd,fast boot) I can't even turn off the tablet.. :(((((
[Xoom Android Development] dkahs23:
I think you need to go back and re-read this. Did you reinstall the bigpart twrp?
[Xoom Android Development] DrGreem:
I made new thread to not spam this one here so you get find it here
[Xoom Android Development] dkahs23:
I think you are still partitioned and you need to get back to the big part. I think the only way to do that is use fastboot adb. But I am unsure as how to go about doing it.

Rejuvenate OmniRom and eliminate lag

I recently noticed that my Omnirom setup was becoming quite slow and unusable, so I tried some of the usual solutions including lagfree, seeder and clearing cache in some google applications. But this did not help. So I tried something that was discussed elsewhere and it worked! Because it was so dramatic, I decided to share it with the community.

First make a complete backup of your system using twrp.

Next wipe everything except sdcard and internal storage (using advanced options)

Then install omnirom and gapps.

Boot up and configure.

Then go back to recovery. Go to install. Find your backup and restore ONLY THE DATA.

Then reboot and see if it solves the problem. If not, you can always do a complete restore!

Enjoy!
[Xoom Android Development] notbrodie:
my xoom is running very smoothly, not too many tweaks to speak of.

this is my setup:

cpu freq: 456-1600mhz

governor: interactive (hi_speed_freq 1200mhz)

scheduler: row @ 512k for internal memory, deadline @ 512k for sdcard.

i don't use any other tweaks. the only app that has significant lag is chrome. i've found that dalvik runs better for me, ymmv

Any chance we can get multiwindow on this bigpart variant of omni?
[Xoom Android Development] hochoch:
It's been asked a few times (by myself included) and no reply has ever been given by the dev. He's actually been relatively quiet on xda - no posts since early feb. and fewer and fewer omni system updates.

First of all, thank you for all the work you and others have done to bring new life back to the Xoom.

Mine said there was an update 3-9-14. It installed and works great. But it keeps telling me there is an update and the update is 2-15-14. I don't want to go back because 3-9 is better. I hope anew update comes out just to stop the notifications.

I have not received any update notifications and I'm still running the 2/15/14 build. I keep checking for updates but there aren't any and the deprecated listing in the first post of this thread still lists the most recent update as the 2/15/14 build that I have. :confused:

Updated Encrypted Xoom

I have gotten myself in a pickle. I encrypted my Xoom after the last update. I just tried installing this new update and twrp prompts for my encrypted password. I enter it and it fails. A quick Google reveals this is likely a problem with twrp which they have now resolved. However, the bigpart twrp 2.6.3 version I have isn't working.

Any ideas? I want to avoid a full factory wipe.

Thanks so much!

Update: Twrp 2.7 appears to have added decrypt support for 4.4

Is there a line in build.prop that could fix this or do I need to look for another file to change?

Flash

Hi just wanted to wish the Devs all the best. Flashed Rom. All working with tips and tricks enabled along with elemental kernel and laGfix premium installed. Only quibble:good: is sd card but with 25g of space am not fussed at all. Standing ovation!!
[Xoom Android Development] michie:
Ok guys good news, using the PA modular gapps and switching to ART runtime performance increased noticeably on full animation scale.

Steps :

IN RECOVERY WIPE CACHE AND DALVIK CACHE

1. Flash the rom (you can skip this step if you are already running this rom)

2. Install the 4.2.2 PA mini modular gapps found here : http://www.mediafire.com/folder/wtq4h3n6a48r7/Modular_-_Mini_GApps

Dont use others as you will have the risk they are NOT ART compatible and your device could end in a bootloop!

3. Let the rom boot, go to settings > developer options and go all the way down to the option called "Select runtime". Choose ART and let the device reboot.

4.

OPTIONALLY but recommended for the best experience :

overclock your cpu, Most if nto all xooms will run stable at 1.5Ghz and it wont affect battery life that much (personal experience)

Im experimenting with touch boost/gpu boost atm, lets see how far we can push the responsivness of our device. The xoom is far from dead ;)

EDIT : No improvements doing this, i guess project butter takes care most optimal of cpu boost on touch. GPU boost on touch the kernel side however could make some difference?

Everything seems smooth except for scrolling...

Like OP says, you can always experiment with the animation scale values in developer options too.

Enjoy the new experience!

If you want to restore genuine partition mapping, it's very easy:

How to flash twrp 2.7 bigpart on an encrypted tablet?

[MENTION=2371134]Schischu[/MENTION] Thanks so much for creating new cwm and twrp bigpart versions based on the latest version. TWRP 2.7 now allows you to flash on an encrypted 4.4 KitKat ROM.

My remaining issue is how do I upgrade from twrp 2.6 to 2.7 if my tablet is already encrypted and 2.6 does not allow decryption? Once upgraded, I should then be able to upgrade to this new OMNI ROM via twrp 2.7.

I loaded twrp 2.7 bigpart and the new cwm bigpart on to my SD card. I reboot in to Recovery. Twrp prompts to decrypt (and always fails) so I just cancel. I switch storage from Internal to SD card so I can now see the new twrp and cwm zips. I flash but both always fail. I assume they are failing because the installed twrp resides in the still encrypted portion.

I don't want to do a full wipe of my device. I simply want to upgrade to twrp 2.7 and then do an ota upgrade to the new omni rom. Can someone explain how I can do this?

Thanks!
