Hi,
I am currently using a customised Samsung Gingerbread Build with some personal modifications, I wanted to shift to an JB build, and wanted to know which build is best for Daily use? (Wifi and calling working.).
Which one should I go with? Just confused which one should I use. and unresponsiveness at times and other small bugs are ok as on my last device (Apollo), I am used to new and/or buggy builds.
Again: Only requrments are basic Wifi and Calling,

Hi,
I'll be getting my brand new Xoom Wifi (EU) next week. Now that there's an ICS rom with camera and hdmi, I want to upgrade to ICS. I have some experience with rooting/flashing the Hannspree Hannspad but just to be sure. The steps to go from stock to Team Eos Wifi Nightlie (wingray/MZ604):
- root
- install clockworkmod
- flash zip from sd
Is this correct ?
Thanks

I am about 90% sure that's correct. Not feeling to well right now and its been a while since I flashed from stock. I am sure someone will correct me if necessary.

You can use the guide, below. I recommend that you read the 1st post thoroughly and at least read the last several pages as they may be somewhat relevant to your situation.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction !
Don't upgrade to any ics rom if you are planing to test drive or daily use the Xoom. You will not be able to play games that have 3d. Only native apps will work (some). I think its the build and not that its a new OS...but its a nightly so you can't complain. I'm going to relock my Xoom and wait for the official release. There is no real point in using a custom rom if you are at the newest OS and the horse power is great for gaming and working. There are plenty of apps that will give you customization without root. Overclocking is not that notorious but will drain the baterry faster so there is no gain. ICS looks awesome and devs are really genious but I think the rom will not be useful until the official update comes out.
I'm coming from the Hannspree Hannspad and on that tablet I've used all kinds of roms (different Honeycomb flavors). I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. From what I've read in the forums the current build is a fully functional ICS rom. Can someone shed a light on this ?
Games or apps that require 3d doesn't work. Even soul craft that is a ics compatible game. So its not ics ...its the rom. I'm not complaining its a nightly but people saying its a functional build...well it is if you stay with the stock apps and native made apps. But for me its not. List of apps that doesn't work that I use. AutoCAD,Photoshop, gta3 , every gameloft , dead space.... some other apps work but sometimes fc or refuse to open and have to reboot. Some will say its not the rom but devs not upgrading theyr apps for ics but I have seen games working and then not in every ics build. So there's that.
Most of the application works. gameloft's game is not working currently.
I m nw on teameos aosp build29 n i m very satisfy with this rom. It is extremely smooth n fast. camera is working now too.

Actually the nightly builds are quite functional for daily drivers. It depends on what you do with your Xoom. I'm not that much of a gamer, so I don't care much about that. Photoshop Touch works fine, but can't connect with Creative cloud (at least a few builds ago when I tried), most everything else works fine. Not all apps have made the changes needed for compatibility with ICS yet, so not really an Eos ICS Nightly problem.
All went smooth. Running ICS now! Heaven. Thanks a lot!
Edit: should cifs work out of the box? Using cifs manager but cannot mount shares
Edit 2: When upgrading to a new nightly: just wipe cache & flash zip ? (sorry can't post in the correct forum yet).
Hello dear friends !
here arose a question for me , about calling some custom or official ROM's ; what is the difference between ordinary releases and Nightlies releases of them.
It may seem a simple question, but I will be thankful to everyone answer me....

hi
daily updates are nightly, every month the RC release that contains more 'updates nightly. After when a rom does not have bugs and 'head is released stable
Nightlies are like experimental or starting releases.the people interested try it,and the developers work hard to make it stable and usable for day to day use.i am a noob
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Ordinary Releases or sometimes in roms RC's are largely redone versions of the older versions with usually more features, bug fixes, and sometimes a complete rebuild/overhaul of the ROM. They are usually released from every few weeks to every few months. Nightlies are released daily or near daily with small bugfixes and sometimes new features. Sometimes could be a redo of an unstable build from the day before due to problems like bootloops and others which are due to a bug or a kernel problem as I used to deal with.
Sent from my GalaxyS III
Sorry to dig this thread up, but I didn't want to start a new thread about nightlies when I found this one!
I am currently running CM 10.1.3 on my Xperia Tablet Z (SGP311) and was tempted to install the latest 'nightly' version... CM 10.2.
What I was wondering was... is there any chance my device could need flashing back to a stable build from installing nightly builds? It took a lot of perseverance to get CM 10.1.3 running on my tablet and since Cyanogenmod can now be updated as if it was the standard android (I mean you can just check for updates and install without any hassle with flashing) I want to avoid having to flash my device again.
Question #1: GPS
I have the Samsung Galaxy S 4G which has been long rooted and I've installed a few roms now on it. Recently I upgraded to Revolt 4+ which is my first attempt to find a Jelly Bean ROM that will work for me. Well, I love it. Only problem is that it seems it doesn't have GPS? Google Maps work but Navigation doesn't follow me which I'm guessing means it's using internet to "find" me. There's no GPS flashing icons nor are there any settings for GPS. Is there anyway to get it working or is it just not working for this ROM?
Question #2: Aries?!
Many of the roms mention "Aries's common bugs" but google searching it gives me nothing. Where can I find information about Aries?
Question #3: The latest fully-working ROM?
There are soooo many ROMs to choose from for the SGS4G that I don't know what to look for. I found and have been using THIS page but not sure how outdated/accurate it is. Anybody know the best/most recommended ROM right now that has all the main parts working? GPS, WIFI...etc? I know wifi calling always has issues but not important.
:good: to anybody who is able to help with any of the above!
Hi.
#1 All JB ROMs (meaning 4.1.2 and above) have Aries kernel.
it is faster than Herrig kernel used before, and should be more stable, but, no developer was able to make GPS work with it. so, there's currently no JB ROM with a working GPS.
#2 If you want a working GPS you will need ICS (4.0.3/4.0.4) ROM :
CM9/AOKP/Slim/MIUI/Ultragen etc.
I'm a MIUI freak so I can say I love HebMIUI which is an upgraded MIUI version I came up with. you can try it (see my signature) or any of the others I mentioned.
Slight addendum to #1. Not entirely true. Some of the earlier JB ROMs were still Herring. The various 4.2 Wifi-bugs were on Herring. Any ROM where they tell you to do the 4.1.2 JB if you wanted Wifi, it's a Herring kernel. For that matter, I believe we've only had compiled 4.2.2 and above Aries here. So if the ROM is 4.1.2 JB, it's Herring. If it's 4.2.2 without working Wifi, it's probably Herring. If it's 4.2.2 with Wifi or 4.3, it's probably Aries.
Agree on ICS/GB for GPS though. HebMIUI or Ultragen 1.01 (DO NOT USE ULTRAGEN 1.00 AND POST BUG REPORTS) are probably your best ICS options.
THANK YOU both for clearing up alot of stuff for me. Thank you x2 for itzik2sh for recommending HebMIUI. I have it installed and I love it sofar. Hopefully somebody figures out JB GPS eventually.
I'll still check back here if anybody else has anything else to throw in.
Hello, all
I have been looking around for ROMS to update my phone with (currently running 4.1.2) and the reason why I stay on it is because of its stability and 0 issues that it gives me. I've had it for a long time now, and as I was browsing through these new ROMS, I am seeing that they share the same problems and bugs (ex. bluetooth not working etc) and I was wondering if there are ROMS higher than 4.1.2 that I could rely on. I've tried 4.2 ROMS before but ended up flashing back my nandroid because it gave me various issues. Are there roms out there that I could use that would give me a stable experience? Thank you in advanced.

If you want near zero issue try to stay with current stock rom as much as possible (current released is 4.3, not 4.4), Give this a try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600305
