cant wipe /cache or dalvik (advice required)

I've run into a problem applying this latest update 4.4.4 and TWRP Big partition to my Xoom....I cant seem to correctly wipe at this step :

Reboot into recovery. Go into wipe menu. Select "Advanced Wipe". Check ◾ Dalvik Cache

◾ System

◾ Cache

◾ Data

◾ Internal Storage

I receive errors like the following :

E:Unable to mount '/cache'

E:Failed to wipe Dalvik

I possibly unwisely carried on and after the flashing of the ROM and Ga apps completed successfully I get stuck on the bootup face symbol.

I guess I need to start again and fix the wipe problems - is this a known issue and is there a workaround ?

NB : I'm using the recommended TWRP 2.6.3.0 R.A.H BigPart Edition Recovery

Thanks.
[Xoom Android Development] kmidderigh:
I made some progress on fixing this........started again and reflashed TWRP and this time mounted all the available partitions before performing 'Advanced Wipe' - this time I got no error messages but still a red 'failed' message at the top.

Flashed CM11 again and GA apps and after a reboot I'm now stuck with the android 'Encryption Unsuccessful' message - did a bit of reading - does this mean my /data partition is corrupted ? whats the best way to fix this ?

Managed to fix this in the end by following this guide : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2506997

which gives full instructions for installing TWRP - would be great if someone could add this link to the first page of this topic to save others the pain of finding out how to install correctly as the original post install instructions are incorrect for TWRP.

I've actually removed Xoom from the system. It does increase battery life some, and sped up screen redraws considerably. Thanks for the tip.

If anyone is interested, removing Chrome wasn't just a normal removal, but, since this was a system app, it need to be removed using "ES File Explorer". If anyone is interested, I'll be happy to help.

Blessings,

[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
I'm sorry not to have been here for several days. Things have been incredibly complicated.

Find the GAPPS Zip file, open it, and go to the Optional folder. Open this, delete the Chrome folder and reflash GAPPS. This will delete Chrome from your tablet completely.

There is a small problem with Dolphin. They are aware of it and working on it. You must use Jetpack with it. This will enable the use of passwords and Adobe Flash. It does show difficulty with text entry while in the Dolphin version of Facebook. Use the desktop version of Facebook instead.

Are they any plans for any of the cm based ROMs to release a lollipop version???
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
There are several developers working on this. However, Lollipop is such a major departure from previous roms that it is causing some fair amount of headaches. I do know that there is a Tegra 2 version of Lollipop available. This is where our developers are working to develop the Rom for the Xoom.

My advice is to be patient. Better to wait a little bit to get a nice, stable version of the Lollipop Rom than a half-baked glitchy nightly.

I don't know about you, but I'm very thankful for all the wonderful work that XDA Xoom developers have done for us in the past. The CM 11 version of Android 4.4.4 is smooth, fast, and extremely reliable.

Hi, i'm currently trying to update a fresh und unchanged XOOM 3G EVEREST (no branding) from Android 3.x and wanted to follow this instruction.

The problem is most of the download links are missing. 404, meaning the files are gone and deleted.

Can you post or reupload alle the stuff i would need to bring that device UP to date so to speak?

Thank you very much.
[Xoom Android Development] armido:
It will help to know specifically which files you are trying to download and your plan. In other words, what steps do you believe are necessary to 'update' your xoom? And which files do you believe are required? Which instructions are you following?
[Xoom Android Development] wizzardsk:
Hi. I just wonder if there is any chance to install some kind of Xoom modified ROM to LG G Slate V909, which uses the same chipset and CPU. I own this tablet and use CM10, but would like to upgrade...
[Xoom Android Development] armido:
I am not a developer. But, if I were you I'd begin by going to your device information and find out what you can about the CM10 ROM you say you are using. Then I'd search XDA to try to find out if that particular ROM has an upgrade to CM11 available. Failing that, you may consider asking the question again with the information you have about your version of CM10.

Good luck.
[Xoom Android Development] wizzardsk:
Thank you very much for the hint. I tried what you suggested a few months ago and the fact is, that no upgrade to CM11 is available for my device. The one CM10 is not very stable either, but it just runs. I even did not find the XDA section of my device (there is no LG Optimus Pad or LG G-Slate section) so it seems that no original CM11 port for me exist. They say that Tegra 2 is a problem and it is not supported anymore in the latest Android. As I see here, Tegra 2 is not dead and I quess it would not be a problem to port some of Xoom ROMS for LG G-Slate. I am not a developer either, so all I can do is sit and search :)
[Xoom Android Development] armido:
I share your agony but on a different point. I'd live to have linux running natively on my Xoom Everest. But, alas, there is no interest among developers to pursue this goal. While my effort to garner support from this site: http://forum.tegraowners.com/ was fruitless you may have a different experience.

Good luck.
[Xoom Android Development] SgtTeabag:
I remember a couple of good versions of Ubuntu touch floating around but I think they had WiFi and data issues. Then I think the devs just bailed on it! :( I feel your pain Id love to get a working distro on my Xoom,that would be wicked!
[Xoom Android Development] armido:
The problem with Ubuntu Touch is it is nothing but a different user interface running on top of android. Poorly at that. It will not run linux applications, so where's the beef? Just as well Xoom developers let the effort to port die.
[Xoom Android Development] SgtTeabag:
Ahhh OK gotcha! I'm actually quite surprised there isn't a running Linux on the Xoom either to be honest!
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
Hi Schischu,

I've not heard anything from you for quite a while. However, I just want to remind you that, not only has your work on Android 4.4.4 been very much appreciated, and to say a personal thank you(I've not got a single complaint), but to also let you know that I sent you a couple of € tonight. I know that this isn't much, but I just wanted you to know that it had been sent to you.

Also, with the chequered introduction of Lollipop,I wouldn't be surprised if you had given up on porting it to the Xoom. Just please accept my heartfelt thanks for everything you've done for us in the past. If I don't hear from you, I'm really happy with Android 4.4.4, and will continue happily using the Xoom for the foreseeable future. You've really made my Android experience a pleasurable experience.

Blessings,

Rob
[Xoom Android Development] Atuljohn:
Thanks :)

Thanks to everyone for making this ROM happen. Had been putting off doing Big Partition due to laziness....Finally got around to flashing and everything is sweet :) can't believe the xoom is still alive and kicking.
[Xoom Android Development] shidum:
Hello,

Not sure about the rest but even this is a tremendous work and I really appreciate all the efforts put on this, my Xoom (everest) has a lot of lag and 'unresponsible' periods that are really frustrated, Does anyone have any recommended actions/tuning params?

Thanks
[Xoom Android Development] highKo:
I only noticed lag because of the phabletUI (also on other 4.3+ roms). using the immersive mode makes the launchers fluid again. Also try to update your TWRP, I don't know if there is a coherence but I updated from the first big part TWRP to the latest and felt faster read/write processes. And you can try the app "lagfix".

With ART and 1,4 GHz CPU my CM11 is really usable on my good old xoom.
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
Try using Clean Master. Between junk that naturally occurs on your tablet and as a result of program operation these can create lag and heating issues.. Clean Master is very good at managing these things.

Blessings,

Rob
[Xoom Android Development] shidum:
Thanks for your replies! Tried upgrading TWRP and clan master... But still lagging, I. E. YouTube videos with sound and video not in sync...

Screen mirroring

Hi guys,

Is it possible to screen mirroring with Chromecast or Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter with this rom?

Thanks in advance.
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
I don't know, as I have neither of these adapters. However,I do use an HDMI cable all the time with my XOOM. I hope this helps.

Not quite sure what you're looking for:

TWRP?

Hi guys, could someone tell me if xoom's hdmi works ok with this rom? Thanks in advance.
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
It works perfectly with mine. I use my tablet with an HDMI cable to teach with, including films, presentations, writing on screen, etcetera on any HDMI equipped TV or Monitor. It's just plain wonderful.
[Xoom Android Development] kuskro:
Thanks for your help, I'm going to use it with the same purpose now, I mean, for teaching purpose.

Best.
[Xoom Android Development] Kingsman1:
You're more than welcome. If you use it as a video playback from a projector, you'll need a speaker system, otherwise, with an HDMI compatible tv, you won't have problems with sound. I use both, depending on which room I'm in if I need to play videos, and it's just great.

I just used the site. I've been without internet for the last few days-My kids haven't had it installed yet. So, since I just got home, I took my brand new Xoom MZ604-It's beautiful!, and just finished installing big-part TWRP 2.8,CM11, and full PA-GAPPs (Oct 19,2014} together with all of my essential software-my old Xoom was dying, and with the facts that the Xoom handled 4.4.4 well, and that stable versions of Lolipop are right around the corner, I decided to buy a brand new Xoom. For $120.00, I did it. I'm really glad I did. I love it.
[Xoom Android Development] dabanhfreak:
Now that the final Cm11 snapshot was released, perhaps we can get the final build for the Xoom? The last one wasn't the most stable, I still get reboot-crashes. I haven't used it much the past few months, but it's in the kitchen and gets annoying when I can't read my recipes :)

Anyone had any trouble with the BT Sport app on the latest ROMs like CM11? I've now tried pretty much all old and new ROMs (even OMNI 5.1 and going back to stock 4.1) and am still seeing an issue where the video stream switches to HD and judders and stutters. Pretty sure it's due to the device being a bit old, but even with overclocking it's the same. The stream quality shouldn't be that high that the device can't handle it (it's not like a DNLA or SMB HD stream on LAN anyway). Strange thing is that it used to work about 3 months ago so I'm sure they have updated something to stop it working.

Have been in contact with BT who have been no help whatsoever and can't provide me a list of old apps to try even! Not able to pass to their Dev team either.

Anyone know how to switch between HW and SW video decoders for apps like BT Sport? There are obviously ways to do that in MX Player and other video players but the broadcasters don't let seem to let you tinker with their apps in the same way unfortunately......

I know this is kind of an old thread. I just installed OmniROM (the latest one in the main Omnirom thread) and the performance is kind of "meh". Lots of app crashes (google). How is the performance on CM? I mainly use the tablet for my "throne" (bathroom) reader, where I use coolreader for ebooks and a bit of web browsing or youtube, so it doesn't have to be a great performer, just not 5 seconds of lag, then finally open something. I'd be interested to know how it runs on CM for you folks.

Well, I can't tell you much about CyanogenMod 11 as I've never ran it. That said, if you just want something that's stable, snappy and where everything works, I'd say give EOS 3 a try. It's Android 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean) but it's all of the things I just mentioned. It just works. It's not CyanogenMod but it is an AOSP based rom. I've tried a lot of roms over the years but have always come back to this. It just works.

If you want to try it, here's a link to the original thread so you can read some about it if you want. The links are all dead (except for the torrents) but I've uploaded it to my dropbox recently and you can grab it from there if you want.

Here's a link to the thread where I posted the links needed if you want to download the rom.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64507952&postcount=1079

Just be aware, it's Jelly Bean. It's not the latest greatest. If you can't live with that, it's not the rom for you. Personally, I don't care about the latest greatest. I just want things to work. They do on this rom. At least for me.

Edit: !!!! I should also say, this rom is for Wingray. Just dawned on me you didn't say which version your xoom is. If it's not Wingray, I'm not sure if it will work or not. If it does, any cellular connectivity won't work for sure.

I'm running Omni 5.1.1-20150726-wingray-HOMEMADE and it has been by far the most stable, reliable ROM I've had on my Xoom.

FWIW here are some others I've tried and been disappointed, usually by frequent spontaneous reboots:

eos4_wingray_BigPart_boot_image

R.A.H._TWRPv2.6.3_BigPart_selinux

... plus probably a few others. Those are just the images I haven't deleted from my Mac.

One thing I've learned is that it's essential that the version of GAPPS you use is designed for the ROM you're installing.
