So are there any JB roms worth it?? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know EOS has a JB rom, but is it based off the stock rom? Or is it still based off the leaked version from many weeks ago?
I had my Xoom stolen It was rooted and had the EOS rom on it.
it was OC'd to 1.4 and damn it, it ran like a dream!!!
I was given this Xoom from my dad who doesn't use it, so it was stock and it downloaded JB
How do I root this thing? and should I switch to a JB rom?
Thanks

There's some threads floating around here that give instructions on how to Root coming from stock JB, do some searching and you'll find them.
TeamEOS actually bases all of their ROMS on the Android Open Source Project codes (published by Google), although they do borrow some code from the Stock ROMs as needed.
I've been using the JB EOS nightlies for over a week now. Loving them. I was reluctant to switch from the ICS nightlies, but had to when a few apps broke after updates (Youtube, Music, etc). Plus, the Play Movies and TV app works on rooted devices on JB. Plus, EOS is working feverishly to get all the great extras from ICS onto their JB ROMS.

Im bored so im write this,

Team Eos JellyBean rom for the MZ601 With 3G, it is still a nightly but i use it as my main rom
Pros:
Simple.
The updates are great and come out almost once a week even more.
No notice on battery life.
Smooth as hell
Google currents on xoom is amazing!(Not a jellybean only feat but it just works so well..)
3G works Via a nightly and works pretty well.
Cons:
Flash isnt out on the playstore but it is out on XDA.
Some apps dont support it (i have only came across one.)
If you have a small mem card putting the gapps and updates could be troublesome..but im running 2gb Sd Card
Sometimes it seems like my wifi signal is being werid but it always comes back on after 30 seconds..
[YOUTUBEhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjM990Jfims][/YOUTUBE]
Basiclly, if i was you flash it, test it and see if you like it. i did that with my sensation and used Cyanogenmod, but i didnt like the non sense aspect (just personal choice.)
I am no way affiliated with Team eos i just respect there work and love how they do it.

If you are planning to get eos jellybean, you don't have to root, just unlock the bootloader and eos ROM is rooted already...
Here is what you need to do step by step...

The fact that you are running a 2GB sd card makes me sad :crying:

Another vote for EOS 3 Jellybean nightly.
Have been using it for a few weeks and it is great.

I like the stock OTA Wi-Fi JB update...sooo snappy...

every thing looks perfect till now :good: thx for the great rom,
one suggestion though
can you include in the next release a circular battery with percentage, also a tweak to remove the google search bar on top
So far, so good.
Does this rom support tablet mode?
Nice built, thank you. I miss the navbar customization tough....could it be possible that you cherry picked it soon ?
Oh my! I just got my n7 last night and the first custom I slapped on was this. Now that I have I don't see any reason to switch.

Just thought I should relate my experience flashing Paranoid v2.54, which I did this morning. So far, I'm very pleased. I've had the Lenovo a2109 tablet about a year, running the stock ROM all this time. I had been extremely displeased with the bugginess of the operating system and whatever web browser I've installed. Chrome, Firefox, Dolphin, etc. had been very buggy under the stock ROM. So far (I've only had time to use the tablet 2 hours since installing Paranoid), I've been using just the stock web browser and haven't had any browser stalls and sudden quits. Thanks for developing this ROM! So far, so good!
Here is something I could use guidance on: In trying to reload my apps from the Play store to the Lenovo tablet after flashing Paranoid v2.54 this morning, when I use a web browser to go to my Google Play acct., "my apps," I'm told "already installed," even though the freshly flashed tablet has NO personal apps installed. Any advice?

[Q] camera issue from santajin miui v5 stocked by "issued" JB4.1.2

my atrix2 was originally stocked by asian, but when I flashed PAC Man 4.2.2 by Ravi, I found that its battery life was quite short, somehow I think what if this issue could be solved when I flash ATT 4.0.4, so I did that, but nothing changed.
nevertheless, when I flash MIUI V5 by santajin(of course stock changed to released 4.1.2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2323111), camera can't initialized like this

, so far the problem still reserved, but it really annoys me since I love taking shots.
I know this problem was caused by the att 4.0.4 atrix2 which then flashed to JB CN 4.1.2. Actually, when I flash a att 4.0.4 to a JB, I encountered a cdt failure and a recovery failure, so I deleted this two steps in default_flash.xml, finally it can boot up, however, the camera still can't be initialized, this is what I call it "issued JB4.1.2".
is there any chances to solve this problem? curretly I switch MIUI V5 to PACman when needed to take shots. but it really discourages me:crying::crying::crying::crying:... so help me if you can, thanks!! Hangouts: [email protected]

The camera error is likely due to you having flashed the AT&T FXZ prior to flashing JB.

If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.
thanks, the only purpose I flash stocked 4.1.2 is the miui v5, but now I prefer to the other aosp roms, they are also favorable.

[q] can you please recommend razr hd xt925 best custom rom??

I'm tired of stock rom. Looking for most stable custom rom for RAZR HD XT925. Should I use CM or what? TWRP or CWM? Also some instructions how to do it... I'm really confused so any help would be highly appreciated...

first tell us if you are rooted, unlocked bootloader, if not thats what youll need to do first.
once that is done, then go on and flash a custom rom.
only stable ones are jelly bean 4.1.2 roms, 4.4 are good too but not wholly optimized.
Hard to say what the "best" is. For instance once my phone shows up I will look for the most stable, best battery life, and AOSP style build. Some people don't care if some things work or if something isn't extremely smooth so their favorite may differ from yours. What do you like in ROMs? Have you tried any ROMs for any other phones that you really liked?
Sorry! MY phone is rooted and the bootloader is locked because I'm not sure which ROM to use. I will unlock if you help me to decide what custom rom to use.
I have tried CM on RAZR XT910 but it was ustable and anoying.
I would like to backup current stock rom state and to try other roms on this XT925 phone. I have seen some videos showing TWRP be the best to cycle between roms and also backup current stock rom?
Maybe I'm not clear enough because I have so many questions but I want to learn how to do flashing custom roms in safest and right way hence my thread...
I want to know first where to start...
Thank you all in advance...
Just my personal preference but slimkat is highly recommendable. Running release candidate 2 presentently. It is perfectly usable af daily driver and vastly superior to stock rom in my opinion.
six37,
im running cm11, and its stable, just had one reboot, just one app doesnt work right but its no biggie, i can use the website instead.

hm it was EzPdfReader, it did not read my external sd card when loading available pdfs, but i can access them through a filesystem app like es, and then open the pdfs there,
as for battery life, i installed greenify.
last saturday, i forgot to charge my phone overnight (i charged it a bit before i went out to party). it lasted to 12%.

OK! I have unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP 2.6.3.0 and everything is fine. I have backed up my stock rom and now trying slimrom 4.4.2...
I m on gummy ROM. Stable and good battery life.
Previously i was on validatus but no theme support
This 2 ROM are very stable ans good battery life.
i get even more battery life if i have wifi off, 5hrs unplugged only connected once to update apps and still at 91%, more reason to get a tablet for web browsing...

Also would like to point out (I just found out this) is that you can not use a third party app to stop texts from showing from certain numbers. I believe this is on all of 4.4 though

[Q] Device is slow. What ROM to install?

Hi!
I bought this device few time after the release. At the time there was an official update from ASUS and I updated it. I remember that it said that there was no way to go back to the original firmware. The thing is. I unlocked my device at that time and now, after trying many different custom ROMS, there is not one that works ok. My device is slow, always hanging, it's not usable at all. My question for the experts are:
- Do I have the correct firmware, kernel, whatever installed?
- What ROM can I install that does not have these problems?

Many of the KitKat ROMs are a lot faster. I used CROMBi for a while, at it was mostly stable. You will have to unlock your bootloader and flash a TWRP 2.8
Thanks cmendonc2. The problem is that I updated the tablet itself (not the ROM) as soon as I bought it and it has been slow since that time. I don't know if I can revert to the state that was from factory. I already tried many ROM's and the slowness is always there.
Katkiss 4.4.4 plus added in Seeder.apk..
The thing screams...
I am running it next to the Nexus 10 and both are running about the same..
Only thing is the TF300T is a bit slower on the Multitasking when downloading from Play Store and or TB backup installs..
otherwise if I was to be buying one for someone, at the price they are now, plus the expandable storage options...
I would still think this was not a bad buy..
As the Nexus 10 has great specs and zooms but its developed a yellow tinge on the screen that seems to happen to a few of them after 1-2 years..
and its not like the screen is on for extended periods.. or left on.. just a production fault.. we are having a go at Google now about it.. as cant even get replacement LCD's for it..

I installed CROMBi but the problem remains. My TF300T has some other problem that began with the first official asus upgrade I made. No one knows what I'm talking about? The tablet is slow to do everything, except when inside apps.

Thanks xfim. I installed and it seems much more stable. I'm having problems with gapps, they don't install, don't know why but I'm going to ask in the katkiss topic.
