Yep! I was born just a year before Park Harbor was attacked, but I was a techie almost before I entered grade school. Got my first chemistry set by the time I was seven, and purchasing a kit, built my first telescope by age ten. It's a long story, but I have been at the forefront of virtually every technological wave as it's come along. God willing I'll still be pushing the envelope for another twenty years.

Primarily I use my Xoom for teaching, writing, and as a display for my music. When editing music I use a USB keyboard, and a Bluetooth page-turner (this is an inexpensive unit called a "Cicada". I often play my keyboard for large audiences outdoors, and quite often play for outdoor weddings. Having to do so with sheet music is a mess. I found an answer to the problems I was having with CM11, and couldn't be happier with my Xoom. The Xoom is ideal for me. Tough as nails, very reliable, extremely powerful, and should last me for a long while.

I am looking at Samsung's 12.2" tablet with a longing eye, but it's way out of my price range right now.
[Xoom Android Development] TheOrangeRemix:
That is awesome! I would want to still be crazy about tech when I'm 73.
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
I'm glad that your Xoom is rooted. This makes things easier.

Before you do anything else, back up all of your apps and data using "Rom Toolbox" or "Titanium Backup".

1. Download TWRP Big Part, the latest stable CM11(Currently 20140323), and Gapps files to your Xoom.

2. Copy the CM Rom and Gapps files,then paste them to the root directory of your external sdcard.

3. Reboot your Xoom.

4. When the red Motorola circle comes up, wait 3 seconds, press the down button. This will put you into recovery mode.

5. When you're in recovery, find your Download Folder, open it, find the TWRP Big Part file and flash it.

6. When your tablet is through flashing the TWRP Big Part file, reset your tablet and repeat step 4.

7. Now, when recovery comes up it will be the TWRP BigPart Recovery.The first thing you need to do at this point is to go to a section that I think is called "Wipe". Now do a wipe of the system, dalvik, and cache files just by sliding the arrow from left to right.

8. When step seven is finished, then go to the section called "Mount", and make sure that your external card is mounted.

9. Next, go to the section called "Install".This willl show all zip files on the root directory of your external sdcard. Touch the CM11 zip.This will bring up a screen that will ask if you want to add another file. Click on this, and when the next screen comes up, find the Gapps file and click on it, and on the next screen, click on "Flash".

10. This action will take some time, and when it Is finished, will show a sign that says that the action was successful, and ask if you want to reboot. This will ask if you want to do a system reset. Click on this.

11. After your tablet boots and you do the initial setup, in the upper right corner, draw down on the symbols there.Then click on the settings button, and scroll to the bottom of the page and look for a button near the bottom for a button called "Performance". Clicking on this well be a bar labeled "Processor".Click on this, and a button will come up labeled "Maximum CPU Frequency".Press this button, and set the CPU at 1400. When you exit this, click on Set on boot.

Doing this will stop random crashes, and enable you to download and run almost anything you need.

You should be able to reinstall, and get back all of your apps and data now.

If you have trouble or just need to have questions answered, I'll do my best to help.

Kit Kat really handles data a lot better than it did, and is very fast and smooth.

Blessings,

Rob

RESPECT twice Rob! I wish to get your age and to be sane and healthy.... Do not know why I think you are and ham.. 73!
[Xoom Android Development] Jacklad:
Besides overclocking to 1400 and changing animation duration per the OP, are there any other performance tweaks that anyone has found helpful? Is governer set to INTERACTIVE the best choice?

I've getting occasional wake issues, where only a soft reboot with bring it back, so curious if there are any other tweaks/settings that will help stability - other than that, this is a super cool build - any word on future updates?
[Xoom Android Development] Schischu:
I use ondemand instead of interactive, no wakelock problems since.
[Xoom Android Development] Obsy:
I use ondemand too and row but unfortunately I have few death of sleep... not too often than before but there is some... The notification led is blinking but the tablet is dead... Don´t know why...

Rolled back to 323. Charging and light are not functioning properly. Battery information in settings indicates 1 hour remaining with icon showing battery charge at +-50%. Seems charging level is not going above +-50%. Light enabled but not working. After rollback everything is good.

Everest here...

Guess I should have said my device is an Everest. Will reflash & report results.:D

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

Reflashed 430. Light is working now, but the estimate of time remaining with a.c. power shows only 2 hrs. 7 minutes. Even without charger supplying power a realistic expectation of time remaining is almost 10 hrs. This depends of course how the tablet is being used. In my case browsing the internet, emails. I can't report yet whether the battery will discharge down to about 50% where it seemed to hold last time I flashed 430. It was fully charged before I reflashed...:)
[Xoom Android Development] armido:
Hmmmm.

O.K: With a.c input. Battery information with bluetooth OFF indicated blutooth @ 98%. Reset. Nothing but 'battery 0s' displayed. Rebooted. Momentarily unplugged a.c. power, now battery 100% full, 12s showing. Screen 54%, Android OS 23%, Media 13% and sdcard 12%. Unplug momentarily - numbers all change with battery @ 7s. I am at a loss as to what these wildly variable numbers mean. Battery light still functional.:p
[Xoom Android Development] no*boundaries:
My Everest is ok, no probs with battery, no problem with anything, all very good
[Xoom Android Development] armido:
Battery, time remaining...

Out of curiosity, in the 'Settings' module - under 'Battery', what information is displayed?

Thanks!
[Xoom Android Development] no*boundaries:
Battery time remaining........75%- not charging, 21hrs 15 min, with screen thanking first place in the usage stakes
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
Thanks Schiscu,

I didn't want to get on line with you till I was able to fulfill my promise to help. Should be able to do the same next month. All your hard work is much appreciated.

I installed the upgrade last night. There don't seem to be any problems with it yet other than that some of my paid apps still won't install, especially Ez PDFReader Pro-Keep getting an error 24. I was able to get Rom Toolbox Pro today.

Thanks again,

Blessings,

Seems to be chrome acting up since Evert time i manage to use my xoom "in time" (before battery dies), chrome havet used the majority of the battery. Any fixes planned for this?
[Xoom Android Development] webeougher:
You need to ask Google that, not Schischu.
[Xoom Android Development] slybarman:
Just loaded this ROM up onto a Xoom that was given to me. Runs great. Battery life is excellent. Thanks for your work on this.
[Xoom Android Development] armido:
Battery, time remaining...

Your reply pretty much confirms information reflected in the battery module, Settings is unreliable. You have me beat thus far on time remaining. Most I got was 15 hours. Do I sense a contest coming on?:D
[Xoom Android Development] no*boundaries:
It gets better, been up now for 1day 21 hours for 68% still remaining, mazing.. Go Xoom..
[Xoom Android Development] armido:
Battery, time remaining...

Sheesh! I'm on a.c., battery 100% full and have only 19 minutes 8 seconds remaining...:D
[Xoom Android Development] slybarman:
Where do I look to see the time remaining?
[Xoom Android Development] no*boundaries:
You won't see time remaining, but you will see time up through setting>battery

Armido, sounds like a new battery for you.

I am now 2 days, 19 hours, 39 minutes, since last recharge

This ROM is good for the battery life
[Xoom Android Development] slybarman:
OK - thanks.
[Xoom Android Development] badaas:
Chrome beta fixes it iirc...

Sent from a relic Xoom flying on bigPart KKrack ...
[Xoom Android Development] my05:
You're right. Sorry about that :angel:

I googled this symptom and found that the drain in this case (on phones anyway) is related to the "tilt scroll" functionality. The problem is that this option is not visible (afaik) in the chrome settings. They are visible on other devices. It supposedly uses the gyrometer which get "stuck" -> drain.

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ----------

Ah.. time to go beta :)

Thx badaas.
[Xoom Android Development] armido:
Time up?

Doh. What does 'time up' mean?:o
[Xoom Android Development] drewski_1:
Some apps provide estimates.

Battery Stats Plus & GSAM Battery Monitor are two.
[Xoom Android Development] rlmesq:
It means time since last booted up.
[Xoom Android Development] armido:
Sooooo...

Sooooo, what's that got to do with the battery?:cool:
[Xoom Android Development] drewski_1:
better battery life = longer up-time before you need to recharge :eek:

so 36 hr up time for 100%->50% battery is better than 24 hr up time for 100%->50%, if you're using your tablet the same :good:
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
I don't use Chrome, but prefer Dolphin withJetPack. It's fast, with much better features.

My Xoom is three years old, running all day long every day. If I unplug it to take it with me, I normally look at eight solid hours of work per charge.

If you want more time per charge, cut your brightness by half.

Anyway, I had problems with the May 3 Version of CM 11. When I upgraded from the April 30 version(Which was a good one) I lost some of my paid apps that I had brought on line. Then I lost the ability to access my Home screen from the bottom of the screen as well as losing ability to access the settings tab at the top right.

I tried just about everything, including reverting to 4/30. This wouldn't work, in fact, wouldn't load. The same was true trying to go to Omnirom. Finally, I did a factory wipe, and installed the May 4 iteration of Omnirom . This went well, and I have loaded everything. None of my apps have failed to load or work except for Adobe Flash Player, and have had no crashes or freezes all day today. This has been an eighteen hour work day.

I'll let you know what happens, but that Rom appears to be very stable.
[Xoom Android Development] armido:
Sooooo...

Soooo, please explain the graphical information in the attached screenshot. Not computing...:D
[Xoom Android Development] lorenza:
Add all the numbers together and the result may turn on the lights for you...?
[Xoom Android Development] slybarman:
Overunity tablet.
[Xoom Android Development] armido:
Not an answer, but

You haven't answered the question, so I'll make a stab at it. The numerical value overlying the bar graph is additive, representing the cumulative time the device has been drawing power from the battery. It does not have anything to do with time remaining until the battery is exhausted. The bar graph on the other hand indicates a declining reserve in the batterie's charge. Would be more relevant though if it provided an estimated time remaining until the battery is spent. Don't need to add numbers together. Just observe which way the value displayed goes when periodically refreshing the display. By the way, this is useless when on d.c....;)
[Xoom Android Development] alamd:
This ROM is an excellent work. I only have a problem Solid explorer does not work. if you open if I try to navigate the tablet does not make me go on. you can see depends on what?

Trial or unlocked version of Solid Explorer?

I did not download Solid Explorer to try on my Xoom because it is non-free. I recommend you give FX File Explorer a go. It is an outstanding, efficient, full featured app and is free. Just make sure you download the File Explorer (Root add-on too), also free.;)
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
Ya know, a man is worth his labor. If you try an app and like it, either put up with adds in the app, buy it, contribute to it's further development, and/or become a beta tester for it. I like both of these apps, especially Solid Explorer. Being able to see two directories at once is very nice. Unfortunately it's pretty slow. Once this is taken care of it would be a valuable addition.

By the way, FX File Explorer has a paid edition-If you like the app, pay for it please.
[Xoom Android Development] MrZ123:
Finally got this installed and it is AWESOME to have my Xoom rejuvenated back to a current OS! I overclocked the processor and adjusted the animations as described in the OP, but it is still relatively laggy. Is this normal or is there something I can do to make it run smoother?

Thanks
[Xoom Android Development] armido:
Over the top...

With all due respect, I think it's over the top for anyone who writes an app to suggest a user change ROMS just so the app will work. There are other alternatives, both free and non-free. Seems developers would try instead to determine why their app doesn't work with a particular ROM and fix the problem.

Is there a bullet proof, secure means for donating or paying for apps? Personally, I'd probably do so frequently if this wasn't a concern of mine. The other concern, since I frequently take chances doing things like repartioning and installing new ROMS is losing my non-free apps. Still waiting for developers to make it possible to replace android with a bootable linux. Will donate!:D
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
Interestingly Armido, I hadn't seen the bit about Samsung devices. Other than being a bit slow, it works fine on my Xoom. The OS and hardware on Samsung machines is slightly different, as is that on Asus. Then, too, it also says that this program has a work-around for Kit Kat.

Like I said, I'm running a Xoom MZ600. I'm also operating under TWRP Big Part, and Omnirom's "Omni 4.4.2-20140504". Both of these last pieces of software aren't native to the Xoom.-, but really work nicely on the Xoom. I'm only having minimal problems with the software. It is very stable. The TWRP Big Part and Omnirom's latest really manage memory much better than the native software. The combination isn't quite as fast as a dedicated quad-core snapdragon, but it really has given new life to my Xoom. Frankly Schischu and the team over at EOS deserve a real round of applause for the massive amount of hard work they've done. The Xoom lives again and is at the bleeding edge of software/hardware development. I've had other tablets that were dying out of the box because the companies that made them wouldn't continue to support them. This Xoom is three years old and is an incredibly good piece of hardware. Thank you. Motorola, Google,EOS, Schischu, and all the other software and hardware developers who've combined to give me such a really great tool. I love it.

As far as bullet-proof donation and purchase goes-There really isn't anything available. The closest there is to bullet proof donation and purchasing are three things-Roboform Password Manager, Google Wallet, and Pay-Pal. Also, get Avast Premium. This anti-virus software includes a kill switch, in case your tablet is stolen. I use all of these.

By the way, this is a development forum. I'm sure you've put a bee in somebody's bonnet, or maybe you'll be the one to make a workable bootable linux for the Xoom. Good luck. I don't have the need for it, or the time to develop it. After all, from what I remember, Android is based on linux.

Blessings,

Rob

Wait, aren't you the guy who wanted an entire rom changed because of a problem only you were having? (And then basically turned out to be user error on your part?)

---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

Not sure what's provoked your defensive reply. But just because Android has at its core the Linux kernel does not make it at all comparable to the Linux operating system and programs. I want Linux running 'natively' on my device because of the type of programs I wish to use, unavailable for Android. Running Android concurrently with a chroot Linux setup wastes memory if one has to maintain a running Android system and programs just because...

Developers at the Tegra Owners Forum:

http://forum.tegraowners.com/index.php?sid=60d193aa6f5843608870bfc22e81e32f have succeeded in developing a mult-boot scheme for the Acer 500/501. But, although the forum name suggests it exists for all Tegra devices, they are unresponsive to the idea of bringing this capability to the Xoom. The larger root partition created by the BigPart team makes multiple boot partitions possible. Hate to see this possibility wasted. If I knew how I'd try accomplishing this myself, but I do not know enough or have the necessary experience with the Android system to do so. It is wrong to conclude I have no appreciation for developers turning out very good Android ROMS that add new features and capabilities to our Xooms just because I'd like to see a 'native' Linux operating system and programs capability. In an ideal world I'd have two devices. One with Android, the other with Linux.:)
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
Hi Armido,

I'm not being defensive. I beta test, buy software, am even learning to write code again for my own needs. I don't have the need for a Linux OS at the moment, and am merely suggesting that you might be the one to write it.

Tegra isn't going to go that far back to write new code for a dual core tablet. Like I said, other brands, like Samsung, Acer and Asus might not be completely compatible with our tablet.

[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
I've never had this experience. The camera works perfectly for me on my Xoom MZ600 With CM11 Version 20140503. Even so, I think that I'm going back to Omnirom version 20140504. For me, at least, it seems to be a bit more elegant and polished.

When you installed the CM11 rom, did you do a total backup of your software first?

After doing this, did you do a factory reset just before flashing the rom?

Then when installing CM11, you should also install a late version of Gapps with it. I used pa_gapps-modular-full-4.4.2-20140329. This is where your camera is. Also, a lot of people had trouble with Chrome in later versions of gapps. This version works well.

It's likely that the problem with your camera is with your gapps file.

Hope this helped you.

Blessings,

Rob
[Xoom Android Development] drewski_1:
Camera is a part of the ROM. PA GApps Modular Full doesn't have a camera app to replace the ROM one.

PA GApps Stock does have the Google Camera which replaces the ROM's camera.
[Xoom Android Development] charos:
Was there an update of the drivers with latest versions? Netflix playback is lagging (even after factory reset). There wasn't any issue few builds before.
[Xoom Android Development] slybarman:
On latest version with no Netflix lag. Not the ROM.
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
Thanks! I hadn't taken a look in the Gapps zip. You're right. Pardon me, sometimes we make errors simply because we assume that because sometimes things were done one time, they'll always be done that way. I learned something here.
[Xoom Android Development] drewski_1:
No worries. Depends on GApps package . . . and there are a lot of them :eek:
[Xoom Android Development] bazzarooney:
Or install the google camera app from the play store ;)
[Xoom Android Development] slybarman:
I periodically get update notices from CM, I assume we cannot take the updates direct if we are on this ROM, correct?
[Xoom Android Development] drewski_1:
The update notices are from Schischu, not official CM so you can take them AOK. The files are the same as in the link in the OP.
[Xoom Android Development] slybarman:
Cool. Thanks.
[Xoom Android Development] cviniciusm:
Hello,

Official CM uses NEON instructions, XOOM doesn't have NEON, so it's the cause of unofficial CM support.

Hey guys

First I want to say thanks to all the developers here. Great ROM stable, fast, great batterylife.

... and a question :) i want to use my xoom as a groundstation for my quadrocopter flights.

I installed the droidplanner app and connected the radioreceiver via usb otg cable to the xoom.

Now the app should recognize the radiomodule and start up, but nothing happens.

Maybe the FTDI Kerneldriver is not included in this ROM?

Is it possible to include that in the next update?

I have found a description, but no chance to do that on my own :(

http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Doc...TDI_Devices_VCP_Driver_Support_to_Android.pdf

So editing the line

# CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_FTDI_SIO is not set

to

# CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_FTDI_SIO M

in config could be the solution!?
