I'm not having many problems - I'm using MicroG instead of Play Services on the 4.4 omnirom build and for almost every modern app I use on my phone, there's a lightweight alternative on F-Droid or elsewhere that suits my needs and works on this tablet. Since I'm only really looking to use this device for watching videos/hulu, reading and light web browsing I'm perfectly happy with the device (It can even run RCT Classic flawlessly - that was a surprise!). Really, this tablet is the best $30 I ever spent. I would just prefer CM over Omni, personally.

---------- Post added at 07:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 AM ----------

Unfortunately, this ROM will not function on the Xoom 2. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Xoom 2 doesn't really have any custom ROM support AFAIK.

Download for Xoom 2 - MZ616

Hi,

I'm trying to locate a functional rom (4.4 or 5.1 or 6.0) for MZ616 "Xoom 2" (Brazilian model 3g+wifi, Everest I think).

I tried the above link, but I did not find it.

Can you direct me to a link to download it?

Thank you!
[Xoom Android Development] misterk267:
There are no roms for the Xoom 2. Best you can do is root stock.

I'm getting `Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)` and `Failed to mount '/cache' (Invalid argument)` when wiping/flashing. Is there a solution for this?

UPDATE: I took my time and took another run through the instructions, and realized I didn't properly execute the repartitioning as described in the linked (hidden) thread. I got it running after a bit of effort. Thanks for all the resources provided here.
[Xoom Android Development] Alxoom33:
Surprised someone still using Wingray/Stingray. My Wingray slowed down for me too much for me years ago and I switched to the Google Pixel C. Looking to go to a new device soon since the Pixel C is over 4 years old now. But still getting great developer support. So I am holding on to it.
[Xoom Android Development] Kovaelin:
I just wanted to refresh the one my parents had, since it costed a fair bit back when they bought it. Honestly, it still kind of holds up when you consider that $100 CAD still barely gets you a device with 1 GB of RAM ($200+ for 2 GB and beyond is bonkers to me), and phones just become more economical once you get higher than that. It's weird seeing how little improvement tablets have gotten over the years.

I have a Shield for myself, but the battery on those drain so quickly. I also have an RCA Viking 10, which I had hoped to see more development on. Because despite its cheap build, it has great battery life and ALL the different ports.
[Xoom Android Development] Alxoom33:
Well, have fun with it. Mine is in the drawer. Take it out for a spin every once in a while and confirm that it should stay in the drawer. Enjoy!
[Xoom Android Development] ankorez:
Please Guys do you have Google Play Services stopped work ?? Again update for kill old devices?? :(
[Xoom Android Development] Kovaelin:
What version of gapps do you have installed? What exactly isn't working?

Yes. It seems there was some update recently that caused my tablet to get the Google Play Services error too (it was only a matter of time, I suppose). Have you tried flashing the pico version of GApps instead of nano? I tried moving to Lollipop (Omni ROM) and using GApps 5.1 instead and I immediately ran into the same issue with nano, but pico didn't have any issues.
[Xoom Android Development] ankorez:
Thanks for information :( yes i'm in 5.1.1 now but i'm very sad because my tablet worked very well in 4.4.4
[Xoom Android Development] mv0hra:
I don't think an update did this, it seems to be a timestamp that became active.

I have reinstalled 4.4.4 with a full wipe (other than the storage card) installed Gapps Pico (previously Nano) and with no internet access, and still have the same issue.

If you don't install Gapps then you will obviously do not get this issue, but then you will not have access to google apps including Play Store.
[Xoom Android Development] mv0hra:
The only way to avoid “Google Play Service has stopped” error message is to not install Gapps. This obviously means that you will not have any of the Google apps, inlcuding Play Store.

I have tried v4.4.4, v5.1.1 and 6.01 with Pico Gapps. All have the same issue. If you do not install Gapps then you do not recieve the error message.
[Xoom Android Development] Takx:
Hey there,

It looks like it is something with google play services, I tried 5.1 and 4.4.4, installed on the MZ604 (wingray), after installing is all good (with the pico version of gapps), but when play store updates (and after that google play services) the errors start all the time.

I could not solve it, but it is not all lost, I left on 4.4.4 and removed all the permissions to google play services, can't install anything else and sometimes get an error but it is not frequently, for YouTube use it is working fine for now.

Maybe if I do a clean reinstall, and disable google play before it updates will be able to keep it going, I tried installing Aptoide store but didn't work, keeps loading and loading and that's it, but again, didn't try to reinstall the rom and do it first.

Anyone with the tablet working on these newer roms?
[Xoom Android Development] Kovaelin:
I didn't receive an error with 5.1 running pico before, but when I now try reinstalling everything with the newest version of pico, the tablet doesn't even boot up anymore. I actually get a black screen after startup. It's the same on 4.4.4 and 6.01.

When I use the old pico file I had, it starts fine until I connect online and Play Services updates, so it seems like it's related to an update and not some "timestamp" thing. Maybe? I don't know.

I think the best thing to do now is just stick with 4.4.4 without Google. Though... I'm not sure if 5.1 Omni would work with microG or something similar other than GApps. The microG website seems to imply that Omni 5.1 might work.

Please advised what android version custom rom could be compatible to flash

Thanks
[Xoom Android Development] rlmesq:
I have a terabyte of storage in a Dropbox business account that lets me access every open file in my office.

Dropbox gives you 2 gigs for free. Use this link to get an extra 500 megabytes when you sign up for a new account.

https://db.tt/ezBadSBZ

I wouldn't even consider putting legal files on Google Drive. Their terms of use say they own everything you upload & they can disclose it to third parties.
[Xoom Android Development] apollyon0810:
And Dropbox's doesn't? I'm not trying to be a smartass. I honestly don't know, but would assume they're more or less the same. Also, I use Dropbox.

Anywho, the only reason I flashed this ROM is because, for some reason, when I cleared my cache, my ROM would no longer boot. I thought I'd never flash another ROM because I was running EOS3 and didn't (still don't) like the "phablet UI" ( I WANT MY BUTTONS IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT). I think maybe my recovery was too new for my ROM? Anyway, I couldn't get back into the OS, so I did all the BigPart stuff and installed this ROM. It's FAST. And everything seems to be working fine. I get an occasional force close from a background app, and did have the com.android.phone FC on my first boot. But other than that, it's working fine. Thanks for the great work and continuing to squash any reasons I come up with to get a new tablet! (can you make a mod that increases the resolution of my screen??? :D )
[Xoom Android Development] rlmesq:
A couple of years ago, Dropbox did add language to its terms that was very similar to the current Drive terms, but almost immediately removed it due to public outcry.

That's why it's really bizarre that Google included almost exactly the same claim to users' intellectual property when it launched a cloud storage

after

the Dropbox debacle. Either Google is tone deaf to public opinion or they're just too big to care.

BTW, the terms of service for both companies are easily accessible. If you don't know, it's because you don't care.

From the Dropbox TOS:

Compare Google's TOS:
[Xoom Android Development] slapheady:
At risk of derailing this thread:

https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2733115?hl=en&ref_topic=2428743

It'll take an army of lawyers to actually work out if google terms are "good" or "bad". Same as dropbox, or anyone else.
[Xoom Android Development] rlmesq:
It just takes one lawyer to determine that Google is claiming the right to distribute anything you upload, while the Dropbox TOS say their access rights are limited to what's essential to provide cloud storage services.

I've only practiced criminal defense for the last fifteen years and I flushed everything I learned about contracts from my brain the day I walked out of the bar exam, but the difference between those two passages is pretty obvious to me.
[Xoom Android Development] bink1r:
Great debate. Has anyone figured out how to get Dropbox working? Mine won't open either.
[Xoom Android Development] matt4321:
We won't go back officially because firstly the requires the bigPart mod to be applied and that is complicated and unsupported in every manor by CM.

Secondly Tegra2 support across the board was dropped and they don't pick up dropped chip sets
[Xoom Android Development] apollyon0810:
I've been having some problems with HDMI connectivity... One freeze earlier today. I just hope for continued development/interest in this so we can get some of these bugs worked out.
[Xoom Android Development] srqrob:
Dropbox

Dropbox has had an outage 1/10 reportedly. Mine seems to work OK now. It does not look like you have a ROM issue.
[Xoom Android Development] rlmesq:
Dropbox is working fine for me on CM11. I switched from Omni, which have me Dropbox problems.

I guess that point got buried when I replied to a question about using a different cloud storage service. Sorry for derailing the thread with the TOS issues.

First of all awesome work! Love the rom so far and very gracious for all the work you put into it!. I just have one question though. I am getting "searching for service" and it never finds any service. Wifi works fine though. The baseband is there just no service. Any ideas? Device=Stingray

---------- Post added at 11:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 PM ----------

I do notice it says this a lot in my logcat. It says that on a fresh boot, then the baseband will show, briefly it will say verizon wireless then switches to searching for service, then starts to say the below:

D/ConnmoReceiver( 678): IMEI is null, retry 5 seconds later

D/ConnmoReceiver( 678): IMEI is null, retry 5 seconds later

Eventually it will say this:

D/ConnmoReceiver( 678): IMEI is null after 300 seconds, something must be wrong with device. Stop!

Comparing cm11 and omni on this device, does either one have any sort of performance benefit over the other or are they about the same?

I've seen a screenshot in here with the Back, Home and Recent Apps buttons on the left, does anyone know how they did it as I can't see anything in the settings?
[Xoom Android Development] xyrcncp:
I'll admit that I was iffy about repartitioning my Xoom, but after doing so and flashing CM11...holy crap! What a difference, it's like a totally different tablet now!

Here as in this thread or here as in XDA? AFAIK an "official" CM ROM doesn't have the option to move the buttons, but other devs using CM as a base have made those tweaks available.
[Xoom Android Development] gibbs1984:
It was in this thread but I realise now it was a screenshot of his 4.1.2 ROM, nevermind I suppose it's time to move with the times ;)

Must agree with your above comment too, it's like another tablet now. Was thinking about getting a new tablet as my Xoom on 4.2.2 was pretty slow and Larry but now it's flying along.

Overclocked to 1.4ghz, reduced animation and using Apex Launcher although GEL is really smooth I just don't like the app drawer, doesn't seem like it was made for tablets.
[Xoom Android Development] TheMan0790:
The CM team dropped official support for the XOOM at CM10.1, so there will not be an official CM11 nightly coming out. Only way will be through devs and threads like this one. At least, I'm pretty sure this is the case...

Anyone know how to change the default search using Apex Launcher? Clicking on the search widget on the homescreen brings up an old looking Google Search, I have installed Google Now from the Play Store but don't know how to set it as the default search though.

A reboot should clear that up. I got the same com.android.phone FC and just kept clicking OK through the setup, once it got to the home screen I rebooted and never saw it again.

how long is the first boot after flashing the rom supposed to take?

i'm sitting on close to 15 minutes on the boot animation (animation is moving smoothly).

i wonder because its taking a while but also when i was formatting, it kept saying it couldn't mount /cache and a wipe would fail but pa-gapps flashed without any errors.
[Xoom Android Development] webeougher:
My first boot took an eternity. I was just about to hard reset when the screen dimmed slightly and the lockscreen loaded up moments later.
[Xoom Android Development] mouseandcat:
yea, got mine to work again, weird.

i wanted to flash what ever old EOS3 build i had sitting on my sdcard. it failed the install. but when i selected the "wipe davlik/cache" on the left (still in the flash/install window) it mounted/reformatted, and successfully wiped. so then i went and attempted to reflash cm11 nightly and it worked withohut any "could not mount /cache" errors.

the boot animation only lasted about 4 minutes this time and its set up and running now.

Thanks for the great ROM. It's amazing what you have wrought for the "past prime" Xoom. I was ready to abandon it and go for a Nexus 10 until I found your OP in this thread.

Hi,

I'm currently working on a kitkat ROM for the Folio 100 (also known as the most crappy tegra 2 tablet ever).

I got recovery working (after enabling SELINUX in the kernel), but when booting the ROM, it stays at the CM 11 boot-animation.

Did anyone have a similar problem during development of the kitkat ROM for the Xoom? Is there any way to read ou where it goes wrong (adb does not work on a fresh ROM)
[Xoom Android Development] armido:
Kit Kat, both Omni and CM11 block access to /data/local/linux/mnt

Was never an issue up to the last stable EOS rom #170. However, I've tried both OmniRom and CM11 and experience the same problem. Accessing the linux file system /data/local/linux/mnt is not possible, even after using FX File Explorer to mount every file system on the device to rw. Accessing linux with an android terminal is o.k. and viewing the linux desktop with a vnc viewer works. So, what has happened with Kit Kat to cause this problem? Is it a backdoor effort by Google to defeat the full advantage of rooting a device? What's next? Assistance is welcome.

Thanks!
