original partition

The best way to have an original XOOM:

You flash the original Motorola ROM with Fastboot

After update OTA to JB

After flash this TWRP recovery: https://www.dropbox.com/s/oxb9k4zpswqjzte/recovery.img

After flash what ROM you want without bigpartition
[Xoom Android Development] dizzy33:
All you have to do is to follow the exact same tutorial as for doing a BIGPART on your Xoom, but in this tutorial you just replace the BIGPART Recovery by a normal Recovery. That's it !
[Xoom Android Development] Obsy:
I don't remember the post number where I saw the solution, that's why I give you entire thread... sorry for this. But as I told you, and dizzy33 repeated, you must flash a non BigPart recovery, the original one

I've pieced together the info, got is sussed now :)
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
I don't buy it. The latest Omnirom 4.4.4 Rom coupled with the latest Gapps is smooth as silk, especially if it is tweaked for your Xoom. Further, it's just like today, using "Floating Apps Pro", I was able to use Facebook to locate files that I needed on my tablet, CCLI to find the files, Gmail to download files, and Mobilesheets to organise, and setup the music for Church on Sunday, all at the same time thanks to using multiple Windows on the tablet.

Stability and compatibility don't seem to be much of an issue either.

I really like the way Omnirom handles things now.

By the way, this thread is for those using, or contemplating using the Omnirom 4.4.4 Wingray Rom, or those having issues with using it. If you are having other problems, please take them to the appropriate threads-Thank you.

Also, the latest iteration of the Omnirom Rom is 20140806. This is really nice.

Could anybody confirm if latest versions of Omni for wingray got multi windowing back?
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
Absolutely-

Just download "Floating Apps" fromthe Google Play Store .This works beautifully.Just make sure to drag the resultant icon down from the top left position to near the bottom left of the screen. Otherwise this application choice icon will interfere with other applications, notification bars, etcetera.

Blessings,

i try to wipe everything but it keeps failing on dalvik, i install omni fine but when it boots up it says "encryption failed, reset needed etc." then boots me into twrp where it asks for a password for encryption... i am stuck in this loop. please help!!
[Xoom Android Development] recognitium:
Thanks a lot for the reply. Though I wasn't asking for third party apps for multi window; but the embedded capability of selecting an app in recent apps list and selecting "put aside".
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
I'm sorry that I didn't quite understand you.I was responding to the idea of full multi-taking, multi-windowing software.

You were apparently talking about doing task switching, which is what the recent tasks icon is all about. To get the kind of capabilities you are asking about, is a simple task.

After installing the Omnirom Rom, and opening up the installed apps icon, search for "Omni switch", and turn it on. Either from the right side off the screen or from the recent tasks icon at the bottom of the screen, you will have the capabilities you've asked about.

Blessings,

I think what is happening is that your screen is going to sleep. Go into "Settings", then choose "Display", then "Sleep".click on Sleep after 30 minutes inactivity. This should take care of the problem.

Hi,

The ROM "omni-4.4.2-20140102-1218+0100-wingray-HOMEMADE", is it a BigParted ROM ?

Since i have installed it i can't suppress files, install new apps or modify ROM, or change recovery to 2.7.1.0 (or others)

I tried to return to stock but i can't, i used fastboot and RDSLite.

Are you running a TWRP Recovery?

If so, can you boot into TWRP?

Updating Omni ROM

I posted the following message in the Q&A sub-forum, but have not received any replies in over a month. Maybe there were no experts there, it was the wrong place, or the answer is too obvious. Regardless, I would still like to update my Xoom. Can anyone help?

Thank you

My WiFi Xoom is currently using Omni 4.4.2-20140427-1908+0200-wingray-HOMEMADE and kernel 2.6.39.4-ElementalX-Xoom-2.0+. I would like to update it to a more recent version of Omni ROM. When I first installed this ROM, everything worked very well. However, in the last few weeks the Xoom has frozen every few days. Launcher 3 also fails from time to time. This may or may not have anything to do with the ROM, but I might as well bring it up to date.

In Settings/About Tablet/System updates, I am being offered Omni-4.4.4-20140708-2252+0200-wingray-HOMEMADE.zip. Do I just "Flash now" from this update page, or are there other things that I should do, e.g. do I need to update gapps. If there are other things, what order should I do these in?

Most of the update information I have seen relates to updating a non-BigPart Xoom, but mine is already set up with BigPart.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Gordon1M
[Xoom Android Development] hochoch:
Just let it perform the update automatically. If you're still having freezes try upping the minimum frequency a step or two in the performance settings or using an app like trickstermod.
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
Hi Gordon,

I've had a bit of a problem trying to send you the files you need, but I hope to be able to help you today.

Instead of sending most of these, let me share what you need, and let you download and flash them. The only file I'm actually going to send is the SU file.

First-Downloads from XDA

1. You're going to need to download TWRP 2.7.1-Wingray

2. Go to the first page of this thread and open up the "Deprecated" folder, download the last Wingray OS, 20140806.

3. Go to the search engine and find the pa_gapps-modular-full-4.4.4-20140818 and download this.

4. Download the UPDATE-Super-SU-v1.94 that I've enclosed here.

5.Place all of these in the root folder of your external sdcard.

Second-Reboot into recovery

1. Open the "Wipe" menu. Then open the "Advanced Wipe", and click on "Dalvik Cache", and "Cache", then Swipe.

2. When this is finished, return to the "Home" screen.

3. Now, one at a time, add the other three files to the que, and flash them.

4. After this is finished working, Reboot to System.

This should give you the very latest Omnirom Android 4.4.4 Rom and Gapps. I do suggest that you find SuperSU on the Play Store and download that as this will give you the latest Supervisor file.

Blessings,

Rob

Updating Omni ROM

Thank you both for the replies. In fact the simple update confirmed by hochoch worked without a hitch. I was surprised it was so easy. My Xoom is now showing that it is running the latest version of Omni.

[Xoom Android Development] jkd:
Thanks,

Yes i can boot into TWRP, but can't flash other TWRP version and can't wipe or flash new ROM.

My xoom starts without problem on my current ROM, I can go into recovery, bootloader or RDS.

Here below information on my Xoom MZ604, my xoom is Rooted.

- Recovery: TWRP v2.6.3.0 (RunAndHide05 Edition), I can not tell if it's a bigpart or no recovery. Also I am unable to change recovery is cwm or another version of TWRP. I always find my TWRP recovery v2.6.3.0.

- ROM omni: 4.4.2-20140102-1218 + 0100-wingray-HOMEMADE (I don't know if is bigpart rom)

- Kernel: 2.6.39.4-ElementalX-Xoom-2.1 +

I realized the problem after installing applications that have disappeared after reboot my xoom, and deleting files that have reappeared after the reboot of the tablet. My xoom is Rooted.

I tried to flash with fastboot the stock ROM FR "H.6.2-24_Retail_France.zip but my xoom reboot in my ROM omni.
[Xoom Android Development] jkd:

Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0 doesn't contain a valid partition table

why this message "Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0 doesn't contain a valid partition table" ?

I've had some minor problems once in awhile, but nothing serious.I think most of these are related to my data input software. The Omnirom 20140806 Rom and latest PA_GAPPS (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php...T Swipe Pro. This should correct the problem.
[Xoom Android Development] Gordon1M:
I am also having problems when using this ROM, with apps not responding and not coming out of sleep (though I also experienced this when using a much earlier version of OmniROM). As you noted, it is necessary to reboot (volume UP and power button). It had previously been suggested to me that I should increase the minimum clock frequency. I understand that this is supposed to be done via Settings/Performance. However, I can't find any Performance item under settings.

Gordon
[Xoom Android Development] dkahs23:
Gordon, it should be under settings roll down to the bottom. Before or after Developer section.
[Xoom Android Development] Gordon1M:
I don't see any Developer section under Settings. There is:

Wireless and Networks

Interface

Device

Personal

Accounts

System

But no Developer.

I have an app called Dev Tools and that takes me to Settings and shows various things that don't seem to show up directly under settings. This doesn't include a Performance item.

Maybe the ROM didn't install correctly.

Thank you

Gordon

Just checked with Root Checker and it appears that the device is no longer rooted, though it was before I updated from a fairly old version of Omni.

I haven't rooted my Xoom for a couple of years, so there may be improved ways of doing this now. Can someone remind me?

Thank you

Gordon

That's it. The 5 taps did it!

Now I have to find out whether Root Checker is telling the truth by saying that I am not properly rooted.

Thank you very much.

[Xoom Android Development] Gordon1M:
Sorry, more problems .....

Before flashing UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip, Super SU was showing under Settings/System. After the flash, it is no longer there, TWRP (BigPart) showed that the flash was successful. I then rebooted.

I have done the flash several times, but the result is always the same.

Gordon
[Xoom Android Development] b1g1an:
You need to use a newer version.
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
Hi Gordon,

I had also had problems with Super Su showing, or with my system being rooted after flashing the latest Omnirom Rom, pa_gapps, and SuperSu(I've given this to you with this post.). After flashing these and rebooting your system you need to go into the Google Play Store, and install Super Su from Chainfire.

If I haven't lost my mind, I think that I gave you this advice once before.

Blessings,

Rob
[Xoom Android Development] Gordon1M:
Hi Rob - Thank you for the useful information. I have a feeling that you did provide the information before, but there were several questions being answered in this thread and I believe the answer was to someone who was initially installing OmniROM. I should have read it more closely!

This all started when I wanted to update from a rather old version of Omni. The advice I received was to update via Settings/Update Tablet/System updates. This seemed to work, except that I hadn't noticed till recently that I had lost root.

In the update process, I didn't update gapps (should I do this?) or SuperSU, which I obviously should. I'd better check into gapps next, I imagine.

Thank you

Gordon
[Xoom Android Development] Gordon1M:
It seems to me that I am going to have to pretty well start again, first re-rooting my Xoom, as Super SU needs to run on amrooted device :(

Gordon
[Xoom Android Development] Gordon1M:
I have now spent a couple of hours looking at articles and posts (many out of date) about rooting and am none the wiser about how to safely do this from my current starting point ..... Latest version of OmniROM installed, TWRP Big Part recovery installed, and Super SU not installed (device needs to be rooted to do this).

Can anyone advise how to proceed from this point? So far, I have backed-up with TWERP and have an OTG USB cable, in case I need to use a PC in the rooting process.

Thank you

Gordon
[Xoom Android Development] b1g1an:
Just do what people keep telling you to do, flash latest SuperSU, install app and run it.
[Xoom Android Development] Gordon1M:
My apologies and thank you for your patience. I guess I didn't (and still don't) understand why Super SU is flashed (which I did) and then needs to be installed from the marketplace. Maybe these are two different things.

Anyway, I installed from the Marketplace (having previously flashed) and Super SU reappeared in Settings/System. I ran it and it said that it wanted to update the binary. I let it do this, using the TWRP option, and eventually the system rebooted. I then ran Root Checker Basic and was informed that the device wasn't rooted. I then ran Super SU again and unchecked and then rechecked the box that allows root to be enabled (I forget the exact wording). I then ran Root Checker Basic again and this time the Super SU box appeared and asked if I wanted to Accept or Deny root access to the app. After accepting, Root Checker basic said that I was rooted!

I am most relieved, though still a bit puzzled by the process, and thanks again to all.

Gordon
[Xoom Android Development] dkahs23:
If you have TWRP Big Part installed. Go into the recovery wipe everything except the SD card....Reflash the ROM, then Gapps, and then Super SU. Make sure all of these items are on the SD card. And then report back. Do you use titanium back up?

Stock Browser quick controls flickering - issue fixed for me

Hi Folks,

First off - much thank to the Omni folks - your support of the Xoom has been very much appreciated!

Now on to the reason for my post. Last week I flashed the latest 0806 OmniROM on my Wingray Xoom. I was having a lot of SOD's with the TeamEOS ROM (even with min clock speed increased) and increased lagginess over the last couple of weeks.

I really like the quick controls in the stock browser which was working well in TeamEOS. However, the OmniROM version of the stock browser must be different, as the Omni version of the stock browser flickered quite a bit in the navigation bar when quick controls were turned on - it almost seemed like the browser didn't fully load webpages and the navigation bar would not disappear as it should.

To try to fix things, I pulled the browser.apk file from the TeamEOS ROM zip file (the 20140824 TeamEOS version) and installed it in my Omni setup. Now, the stock browser is working beautifully with quick controls (as it was with TeamEOS) AND I am not getting SOD's (as I was in TeamEOS)!

MZ604 Build.6.6-27 (Honk kong)

Hello,

is that working with an MZ604 Honk kong version?

Thank you!
[Xoom Android Development] slow1234:
I am not a developer/programmer at all, so I have no idea why this might be happening.

It turns out that the stock browser issues reappear every time I reboot my xoom. A reflash of the EOS-pulled browser.apk resolves the issue until the next reboot!

Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening and if there might be a resolution.

The browser issues involve the navigation bar flashing/flickering/not disappearing when quick controls are turned on. In addition, I also cannot access the browser history (I hand't reported this issue before) when the flickering issues are occuring. The history option just isn't there!
[Xoom Android Development] bschmidy10:
Did you install it as a system app? /freeze the old browser? Perhaps it is being overwritten on boot.
[Xoom Android Development] slow1234:
I'm not sure. When I install OmniROM, wouldn't the stock browser be initially installed as a system app since it is contained within the ROM? Then, when I flashed the EOS-pulled stock browser apk, wouldn't that convert it from being a system app and into a data app? Would a reboot then somehow revert it back to a system app?
[Xoom Android Development] bschmidy10:
Yes the stock browser would initially be a system app. You could try freezing or deleting the stock omnirom browser before flashing the eos pull.

CM11 or OmniROM

In the current state of development, what would be the best option between the 2 ROM 4.4: CM11 or OmniROM.

I feel that the CM11 reduced the gap with Omni.

Stability ?

Perf ?

Smooth ?

Sorry, English translation with Google :o

Thank you.
[Xoom Android Development] ronvanv:
I would say omnirom. I recently changed back from cm11 to omnirom. Omnirom is more stable although both Rome have soms issues (at leest on my xoom). Performance and smoothness is equal i think. With cm11 I had tot reboot once or twice a day.
[Xoom Android Development] slow1234:
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try.

EDIT: After a weekend of use, this solution seems to have solved the problem - what I did was uninstalled the Omni version of the browser, then installed the EOS-pulled version. No weird browser issues since.

Can't mount /cache in BigPartTWRP

Hi guys,

I tried the stingray ROM on my Xoom, and when I flashed BigPart recovery, I couldn't do ANYTHING. I could navigate the GUI, but I couldn't complete ANY operations. :/ So I checked the log, and for every action I had tried, it said: "Can't mount /cache". And using CWM I have been able to successfully flash things without this error.

So, for those of you who have successfully flashed the Stingray ROM, do you happen to have a CWM Nandroid backup of your system BEFORE you flashed? Because if I can get a Nandroid that will let me flash this ROM, it would be amazing.

Thanks for reading this. ;)

P.S.

Would replacing my CWM recovery with regular TWRP recovery, and then flashing BigPart work maybe???
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
That should work perfectly. I did exactly this months ago, and my tablet runs perfectly on the TWRP Big Part partitioned, Custom Omnirom Android 4.4.4 Rom with the latest PA_GAPPS, and Supervisor 2.13 combination.

OmniROM crashes several times a day

I have had the latest (last?) version of OmniROM installed since its release and am finding that my Xoom freezes several times a day. I have to reboot with Vol-up + Power Button. This behaviour seems to be getting worse. I also experienced this with an old OmniROM version prior to updating. I don't know whether this is caused by the ROM or, maybe a bad app.

I am considering whether to install the current Team EOS ROM, given that OmniROM development appears to have ceased.

Any recommendations/advice?

Thank you

Gordon
[Xoom Android Development] slow1234:
I've been experiencing more freeze-ups lately too, even with no ROM or GAPPs updates. I've installed/updated many apps though. I'm not sure what to do other than a factory reset and reinstall ROM/GAPPs.

I came to OMNIRom after experiencing many freeze-ups with TeamEOS. However, the TeamEOS ROM has been updated more frequently and recently then OMNI. I'm tempted to try EOS again. The only ROM I haven't tried is CM11.

So, while I don't actually have any advice or insight for you, I am experiencing the same issue!
