[Q] EOS Stable for Wingray? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK, so I finally flashed a custom rom. I was happy for the beginning of it. Then after using the browser for a while I noticed that sometimes when I try to go back to a page, it won't go back. It will reload the current page which is quite annoying. Now what I really wanted to ask is whether there is a Stock Jelly Bean rom with root available for the UK MZ604 Wifi only model? I'm guessing that in the Stock Jelly Bean there shouldn't be any minor bugs at all, right?
Any help at all would be appreciated.
With regards,
Beston94

So sorry but isn't that for the US Wifi Xoom as it states in the thread? Or is it compatible with all the WiFi versions?

which rom did u flash? on eos 3.0 i dont have this problem

Hey.
EOS V3 stable release wasn't good on my UK wifi only Xoom, however V2 EOS is great so I went back to it.
I found web based videos were slowing down and jerky, also some web pages loaded greyed out almost which was annoying.

It is officially for US WiFi MZ604. But it works on all MZ604s, I have flashed it on mine (a month or so back). I have a UK MZ604

3.2 upgrade for rooted Xoom

I have a rooted Xoom running 3.1 and I'm trying to find a 3.2 upgrade without going back to stock. I'm sure its out there but I'm just missing it. Could someone point me to it please?

Sorry meant to mention I have a 3G Xoom. Does that update work for 3G or only WiFi Xooms?
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
Quoted from posted thread:
IMPORTANT NOTE: This update is for the US Xoom Wi-Fi MZ604 with Android 3.1 ONLY!!! As of v05 of this update, the update script performs NO CHECKS of files before flashing rooted stock 3.2 system and boot images. This means it won't stop you from flashing on a Xoom 3G; it will just flash and you're left with the mess, if any. Please proceed only if you're tech-savvy with Android and the Xoom, ready to restore to stock 3.1 in case of issues, and good at troubleshooting. Please provide feedback and corrections, and I'll update the post as quickly as I can. Thanks!

Why not just flash one of the Tiamat 3.2 Roms? Easy way to get the best of all possible worlds, since you're already rooted.

[Q] Do I have the right version of the Play store?

Hello,
I am beginning to wonder if I have the right version of the Play store on my Xoom.
I am thinking I have an older version/mobile version because the font is very large, in fact, it's an eyesore.
Here is a photo of the Play store once I open it:
http://i.imgur.com/UFRXs.jpg
And here is when I search for an app:
http://i.imgur.com/3pMBc.jpg
Looking at that photo, it doesn't look too big, but when you hold the tablet in front of you, it looks massive!
http://i.imgur.com/MwoK9.jpg
This is still quite large, but much better looking.
Also, another question, shouldn't the beta Chrome browser not be there? I don't see it.
I did a factory reset a few days ago, and when I opened play (if I recall correctly) it said it was updating to a new version, but said there was an error.
(I have not rooted my Xoom (yet ) so I cannot take screenshots)
So, is this the right version, and if not, how can I update?
Thanks! :good:
The latest version of it is 3.5.19

Ok, thanks. I'll root it later today maybe, now that I got the SD card out.
I should be able to get an ICS ROM then, right?
EDIT: Wait, I just remembered something.. Mine is the international (if that's what you call it) version, as it has no Verizon branding on it, and I have no contract either. Will I get an OTA ICS update? When did it come out for the rest of you?

Yes. Chrome is for ics. To get it, you need to be rooted. With market enabler, select the american t mobile market and search for it. It is there as beta version.
To root, which xoom type is it? Mz60x?
For the best rom ever released for xooms, it is from team eos.

[Q] UK Xoom WiFI to GED (ICS OTA?)

Hi Guys
I've got a 604 UK Xoom Wifi with Honeycomb 3.2 running. I've not rooted it or flashed it.
I'm looking for the easiest way to make it a GED that will receive OTA updates to ICS and then Jellybean when it comes out. I've looked through numerous threads and am really confused!
Any recommendations are much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Im sure someone will come by and point to a guide on XDA but in the interim I did this on my UK Wifi only Xoom to get to GED (and thus ICS)
http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/motorola-xoom-hacking-guides/6591-how-uk-wifi-us-ged.html
Took all of 30 mins max to complete.
I've thanked you, thanks.
Did you get ICS automatically, or did you need to check for the updates?
Also, what version of Windows/Linux are you running?

Yeah I don't see a link for the 6210 either, only the P6810 and the P1010.
Uploading to my dropbox, will post when done.
While its loading, to get ready you need Odin, I suggest paid from the market. Extract the zip. I used ES File Explorer.

This is the UK/Ireland firmware for the 6210, not the US firmware. Is anyone having issues with WiFi? I thought I read somewhere they use different frequencies over there.

[Q] Android 4.4 KitKat on Motorola Xoom 1?

Hi...
It is said that Android 4.4 is optimized to work (again) with 512MB of RAM...
Anybody knows if 4.4 is being ported as a Motorola Xoom custom rom?
4.2 is a bit slow in my xoom, my only hope is that 4.4 fixes that, or I will be force to return to 4.0.4 or 4.1, or replace my tablet by a Nexus (and I think that my xoom deserves some extra life, it's just 2 years old!!!).
Thanks.
PS: Reviewing the development subforum I can only see about 4.3, I'm worried that our xoom was abandoned and that my only option would be switching to a Nexus

Its being worked on. It involves repartioning your Xoom and they have a 4.3 running snappy on the new partitions also. Check around the boards a lot of very good reading, research and development still going on for the Xoom. Only way I'm parting with my stingray is if it dies or I do. . and by the way I'm running 4.2.2 right now on mine with larger partitions and its fast and stable.

Hi.
Thanks for answering ...
After a quick look to that link, It seems they're working with Android 4.3... do you mean that's the last version we'll ever get, or maybe after 4.3 they'll go for 4.4? :?
There still working on it. But now there experimenting because once they got over the partition hurdle now they have some serious kernel issues to work on among other things. So as of yet there isnt a 4.4 running on a Xoom yet. There are some very talented driven people working on it so keep your eyes open the Xoom is not dead yet and never will be to people like myself.

Well you can try that and provide feedback for the dev especially if yours is wingray since the kitkat development is based on Xoom wifi version. At least the repartition part brings you some difference. The ElementalX kernel is also great to try

I am not a specialist but ART is Android Run Time which is a new virtual machine attempt to replace Dalvik. The main difference with ART is that app are compile during installation instead of use. I can't say exactly if it is very quicker on the Xoom but I activate it and it works perfectly.

Why don't you give it a shot? It's more valid than just asking, no offense. 'Faster' is adjective and AFAIK all adjectives are subjective. People might think it is faster, or not if that matters, but you really need to try for yourself to see if it is fast enough for you. Schischu has finished building Kitkat Omnirom for all versions of Xoom though
test
It is true than the best way is to try it. But I can say than this ROM on my Xoom is not laggy. Some I test before were!. So don't worry,follow step by step to repartition and flash and enjoy it!
