Freeze

Hi,

With the last versions my Xoom freezes if using web, wlan or umts (Everest) does not make a difference.

With the last version it freezes every hour on weak connection, only a reset can restart Xoom. Power off button without functionality. After a view resets i also have to wipe cache via recovery, otherwise it freezes directly afte reboot.

I tried deactivating sync mechanisms, deleted apps and so on, no change.

Any idea?
[Xoom Android Development] paul77bam:
Yes, same here
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
I think that the reason Omnirom isn't being updated now is that everyone is anticipating Android L right away. It sounds like it should be released for development on the 15th or 16th, and the Nexus should have it on, or about, November 1st. I do know that preview copies are being seen on YouTube now.

By the way, The Omnirom Rom is fast, stable, and after installing the latest PA_GAPPS(Stock), is pretty much flawless with the exception of the fact that "Ok Google" doesn't work for me. This doesn't bother me though because I am usually in high noise environments.

Can i update to this ROM from being on 4.1.2? I just rooted my xoom and I want to know how to update to 4.4. Thanks for the help in advance.
[Xoom Android Development] felipevsw:
This ROM is for big part devices only, as far as I know. So first you must repartition your device, otherwise this won't work, I'am afraid.

EDIT: Check the Install section at the OP. There you'll find instructions to repartition the device and install TWRP. I've done this on mine. No problems at all (no warranties and all the blah blah blah though).

People app FC

When I tap the user switcher icon from Quick settings panel, it open a small overlay window, a tap to open people led to force close of people app itself. I tried clearing data of contact and contact storage. It seems to work fine but as soon as I input something for my local profile, it FC again.

[Xoom Android Development] tnfsmith:
Yes you can. Following these introduction steps in this thread to repartition your Xoom before flash this rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2506997

These either apply to TeamEOS or Cyanogenmod or other roms which require Bigpart partition.

[Xoom Android Development] brewer75:
I had this problem a couple of weeks ago (Wingray, TeamEOS). In addition to clearing contact data and storage, I deleted all the information in the first People entry "Me". For some reason that seems to have caused my problem and after deleting the "Me" info I have not had any problems. I tried to repopulate the data after doing the most recent TeamEOS nightly (10/23) and I had the same problem so I again deleted the "Me" data in People and the problem went away. Hope this helps you with your problem.
[Xoom Android Development] TouchPro2_PRO:
if lollipop is coming to the xoom, can i just skip out on putting kitkat on here and just go from 4.1.2 to lollipop when it comes out?

thanks again in advance.
[Xoom Android Development] tnfsmith:
I think that we need Bigpart too because of requirement on the Lollypop will be the same minimize from JellyBean to Kitkat performance.
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
I think it highly likely that we will get Licorice knowing the caliber of the people in this group, but under any circumstances I believe that you should install Android 4.4.4.,

1st, Backup all of your programs and data to an external sdcard using Rom Toolbox Pro or Titanium Backup. Are you rooted? If not, let me know, and I'll help you get there.

2. If you are rooted, the first thing you will need to have is TWRP installed on your tablet. If you have trouble doing this get back with me.

3. Get the latest Big Part TWRP ,back to this later.

4. Restart your tablet in recovery mode. Open the Wipe menu, then go to advanced, and check to wipe Dalvik and Cache.

5. Now, here on XDA Development, using the first page of this thread, find, and download the latest CM11 (This, at last look is the October 19 download), and then go to the search box above, you're looking for the official Pa_Gapps file for October 25th. This is the stock version-Download this.

6. Restart your tablet going into recovery. Install the TWRP Big Part Recovery, CM11, and PA_GAPPS files. After this is all done, reboot your system and reinstall your backup software. After having done this, set

your preferences so that you are able to reinstall your backups and data.Having done this, you're good to go.

I'm sure that you'll like CM11. If you have problems let me know. I'll do what I can to help.

Blessings,

Rob

I had been on theTEAM EOS forum for a few minutes yesterday and Matt over there was talking about beginning development for Lollipop. Also, for a few minutes today after noticing what was being said on Android Central I went to the CyanogenMod site. http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/cyanogenmod-11-m12

There,I saw that there is one more 4.4.4 upgrade being developed, but that they have been working on developing a CyanogenMod version of Licorice for the last week.

I don't think that it will be to long before we have Licorice for the Xoom.

Oh, and by the way,I won't explain it too much right now, but don't install the latest Gapps if your Google maps works. This latest one has the latest maps on it, and won't work on the Xoom at this time.

How can I change my lock screen orientation?

[Xoom Android Development] bschmidy10:
Not positive... But it should rotate automatically as long as you have auto rotate enabled in screen settings (also available as a quick settings toggle)

[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
So far as I know, the Motorola boot screen, whatever boot animation you are using, and the lock screen all default to a landscape format. In fact, now that you asked,I went looking, and couldn't find anything that would offer this feature.

gapps install zip problem from twrp

I managed to install BigPart and CM11 but I seem to have an issue installing GAPPS in the recovery... giving me an error "Error executing updater binary in zip".

Any idea where that could come from? (it feels like it comes from the recovery as the GAPPS zip file is fine)

This will probably be the last version for cm-11.0 as the new development focus will be on getting lollipop running.

Check your pa_gapps files. As of the 1103 release, many of the apps included were beginning to be upgraded to Lollipop comparables and don't work and play well with Kit Kat. Try using either the 1019 or 1025 stock pa_gapps. This should work.

Hey Schischu, day before yesterday,I was informed by my SU software that I needed to upgrade the SU. I went ahead and did it. During this upgrade I was told that there was a problem with my root and I was told it to repair it. After this was finished, at some point I went into recovery, only to discover that my TWRP recovery has been replaced with a CWM recovery. It doesn't appear to have modified my Big-Part partition Xoom in any way except that pressing the on/off button is very difficult to work with to accomplish any task during recovery. I'm not real comfortable with this particular recovery. How do I reinstall my TWRP without messing up my Big-Part Partitioning?

I know this reveals that there are areas where I don't have expertise, but I know that if anyone knows this system it would be you.

Thanks Schischu
[Xoom Android Development] brewer75:
Did you ever resolve your recovery issue? Would it be possible to flash the latest big part TWRP (Flashable Zip (In Recovery): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001606053 ) over the CWM recovery as long as you are still big parted? Hope you get straightened around!
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
No I haven't. The CM Recovery lets me into it, but won't allow me to flash a zip file.

I'm still rooted, and still Big Part Partitioned, And I have downloaded the latest TWRP Big Part.

There is aTWRP Manager in the Google Store, but I haven't tried it yet as I don't want to foul things up. I think I'm going to try using it and see if it will correct things.

Thanks Brewer.

Hi, funny how that has happend. You can just reflash twrp bigpart(.zip) to get twrp back. Nothing will be lost as only recovery partition will be written to.

How can i do that? (flash twrp)

I can scroll up and down via volume key, but how can i execute something? With powerButton nothing happens.

[Xoom Android Development] brewer75:
It looks like no one responded to your request for input on I/O schedulers. I don't believe there is a clear cut answer and one way you can determine this for yourself is to try different ones for a few days and make your own comparisons. If you really want some hard data, take a look at this site: http://andrux-and-me.blogspot.com/2014/05/io-schedulers-and-performance-2.html

I think you'll see there are some minor differences between other schedulers but not any major differences between Sio or Row. Hope this helps.

Mobile Data doesn't seem to work, any ideas??

Hey everyone,

I just switched to this ROM recently from the OMNI 4.4.4 ROM, and CM11 is so much better! Before I made the leap to 4.4.4, I was on stock 4.1.2 with SuperSU root. I just purchased a 4GB prepaid data plan and it has been about 30 minutes since I placed my order and I've rebooted and removed the SIM card a few times. I NEED mobile data working by this weekend for a conference I'm attending. So, if you gents would be so kind as to offer some help to a fellow like me, that would be much appreciated!

Also, please note that I got a 1GB data plan before when I was on stock.

[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
Flashify does work, but with some reservations. The first is that the software creates certain folders on your main directory.

1. "Flashify"

2. Inside this is a folder called "Recoveries"

3. Inside this is a folder called "TWRP"

Now call up the latest TWRP recovery, open this, copy the file "recovery.img", and then place this inside the "TWRP" folder above.

Now run Flashify, and do a recovery.img as aTWRP. This will repair your TWRP.

Also, as of Dec. 17, Google has repaired and updated Google Maps with a very much improved edition that should run under all custom Android 4.4.4 roms(Cyanogenmod, Omnirom, and EOS. I really like it.

[Xoom Android Development] xyz_969:
Confused...

Hi folks,

granted I didn't read all 69 pages of this thread but I see some inconsistency in the step-by-step description to flash wingray to the Xoom.

This thread says to:

- Put TWRP 2.6.3.0 BigPart version and your desired rom on your microsd card.

- Reboot into recovery. Flash TWRP BigPart.

If I read the BigPart Repartition Upgrade and Resource Center guide steps, they say to:

2) Put all needed resources on your microsd card! You will need the original TWRP 2.6.3.0 touch recovery from [MENTION=3900214]runandhide05[/MENTION], TWRP 2.6.3.0 BigPart version, your desired rom, and the BigPart boot image that goes with your desired rom. The BigPart boot images can be found in the next section.

3) Reboot into recovery. Flash TWRP BigPart. Don't reboot just yet.

So which one is now correct? The second guide talks about more things than this thread (replacing the recovery with TWRP recovery, and the boot image). Do I need to do all that or only flash the TWRP BigPart_selinux.zip and the new ROM as said here in this thread?

Sorry for the noob questions... can someone help me out please?

Thanks.
[Xoom Android Development] xyz_969:
Rob, thanks for replying - I appreciate the help.

One more question: the BigPart repartitioning guide also mentions "the BigPart boot image that goes with your desired rom". However I don't see one mentioned for CM11, only for CM 10.1 - will that be OK as well?
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
Use this one.

https://s.basketbuild.com/filedl/de...ions/pa_gapps-stock-4.4.4-20141019-signed.zip

It will update on your Xoom perfectly. Be sure that if you are asked to upgrade your Superuser, to use TWRP as the Recovery.

Blessings
[Xoom Android Development] xyz_969:
Um... sorry for being so thick-headed, but this link is for the gapps, not the boot image. Or do I misunderstand something?

The CM 10.1 boot image that's mentioned in the BigPart guide contains the boot.img but this one is different.

See, it's confusing... at least it is for me :)
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
You're just fine. You're not familiar with this process. The boot.img is already in the CM11 20141130 zip file. You don't need to do anything but get your TWRP Big Part recovery installed, install the CM11 zip, and install the pa_gapps zip. After doing this I would strongly suggest that you wipe the Dalvik and Cache before rebooting.

Blessings,

For me it seemed this was happening, but I think it was a semi-warned out power button. I've used both these apps to append the power function to the volume button - works well for me (my Xoom is docked most of the time, so potential battery drain from being awake is no drama).

OK, thanks... followed these exact steps and everything went fine.

Well, after a few days with KitKat on the Xoom, I can't say I'm happy :(

Compared to the factory Jellybean, battery life is horrible. From fully charged, in 11 hours it went down to 40% with absolutely no usage (idling, screen off). I have location set to battery save and WiFi scanning off, however WiFi itself is on. Under these circumstances, the same Xoom on Jellybean took several days to deplete the battery, so this is clearly unacceptable.

Also, Chrome is completely unstable, slow and often force closes... essentially useless.

I tried to clean cache and Dalvik (again), no improvement.

I think I'll rather try to return to the stock ROM unless someone can suggest a way to improve things... what a disappointment. :(
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
Hi,

Try using Clean Master to find where things may not be working right.

Also, try using Dolphin Browser with JetPak as an alternative to Chrome. I've never been happy with the Chrome Browser for Android. Dolphin, on the other hand also has incredibly more powerful tools in it. If you need help configuring it properly let me know. I'll be happy to help you with it.

If I shut off my screen, on my tablet,I usually have about 14-16 hours standby time, but I haven't really checked that for a long time. I'm using my tablet under normal circumstances about 12-15 hours a day. One of the things you might want to do is to cut your screen brightness by about a Quarter.

If I'm not plugged in, and using the tablet for research, to practice my music, occasionally watch a few related youtube videos, or even play a game for a few minutes, I'll get between 6-8 hours of time per charge.

There are other steps I can recommend, but I really have enjoyed the Android 4.4.4 experience. It's fast, smooth, and good.

Keep in touch. I can be of help in so many ways with your tablet.

Disable chrome !! Your Xoom battery life would b double.
[Xoom Android Development] xyz_969:
I decided to reflash the Xoom with the 4.4.4 Omni ROM and things appear to be working very well so far. No more battery drain, Chrome works OK and the whole tablet is just smoother than it was with CM11. No more hangs or force closes.

I really don't know what could cause this, but so far so good. Something must have gone wrong with the CM11 flash as I don't think there is another reason for these two ROMs behaving so differently.

Thanks for all the help, I truly appreciate it. I hope I don't have to post back with more issues :)

Edit: Eh, I spoke too soon... unfortunately Chrome still can hang, and if this happens, it pegs both processor cores 100%. Perhaps this was also what happened with CM11 so that's why it drained the battery? Seems reasonable to assume, although with CM11, the battery appeared to drain fast even if I didn't start Chrome, which doesn't happen this time.

Oh well, I'll give up on Chrome then, no big deal.
