What's the best 4.2.2 ROM? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Finally root my Xoom WiFi, now I'm looking for nice stable feature packed ROM. Any suggestions? Cm10.1 is running brilliantly on my sensation, is the Xoom version any good?

Other than stock CM 10.1 is the only other ROM I've used on the Xoom. Great stuff.

The My android rom is by far the most stable and bug free of all 4.2.2.

id argue project orca is more bug free, and equally as smooth, with more features

I regularly use the cm10.1 and have no problems, only use the gapps unified. I've gone from EOS to cm and I feel good.

Im on EOS and its ok, its been faster before 4.2.2 but it does its job, just slow 3g /wifi reconnecting and USB mounting causes restart, which is annoying...

I've tried Cm and its a cool rom but doesnt support USB transfer and I need it so still with EOS if you dont use USB and want to change ROM CM is good to go...

BlackBean 8 gets my vote :good:

I gave my aunt my Xoom with CM10.1 nightlies worked awesome for me! I had less issues with 10.1 nightlies than I did during the final 10.0 nightlies released for Xoom.

According to CM G+, 4.2 will be called 10.1 not 11 since it was still JB. And there is a lot of device which didn't get official JB yet but running on CM10.

Running CM-nightly on MZ601, I can not see any difference in performance between EOS and CM.
have tried all 4.2 roms. cm and eos are nearly same. Orca is smoother with slightly more bugs.

I'm on dreamcwli's My Android with Elemental X 0.7 and it gives the best performance that I've ever had on my Xoom.
Haven't tried Orca as I thought it would be too bloated, surprised to hear its running so well, good, the more roms the better.
But generally a near stock ROM is fine for me on my tab

You cannot change the system partition.
Ensure that you are using the appropriate Gapps for the ROM and not just the standard ones

I am using EOS4 190 nightly with Elemental X 0.8 and it works very well. The newer Elemental X kernals seem a little laggier to me.
Yeah I think I had tried one of the first nightlies for 10.1 back in January and noticed a lot of lag, but April nightlies seem just as fast as 10.0 pretty much. YMMV.
The navbar still drives me nuts but I'm working on that.

[Q] best AOSP ROM for this phone?

I've been running CarbonROM (03/16 nightly) and as much as I love it, I always seem to see issues with it with the screen freezing to the point where I have to pull the battery to fix it.
Can anyone recommend an AOSP ROM that is extremely reliable?

KT's kernel always caused random reboots for sure. Any build wouldn't be any different. Anyways, I'm enjoying the 16th right now. But if it keeps freezing, then I'll try the 15th.

Which MR build would you recommend?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
The most stable ROMs I have found are clean rom for TW. Scott UK so always one of the first to update to new builds. As far as AOSP, I really like Liquid Smooth. Really quick, light weight and one of the few 4.2.2 ROMs with the ability to save pics directly to the SD card, which for me is a deal breaker if not included.

I know about CleanROM (and have it backed up). I don't like liquid because of the use of nova launcher. Call me picky, but I prefer having an independent launcher over NOVA, which I can just download anyday.

If you are looking for stable and reliable avoid nightlies. I have found slim rom, rootbox, carbon and liquid to all be extremely stable if you stick to their "stable" releases. The nightlies will give you cutting edge features but those features will introduce bugs and quirks as well.
For me, every time I get off Slim I end up back on it within a week. Love it.

I've tried Slim and I just don't really like it as much as Carbon or Liquid. Right now, Liquid is the best ROM I've ever used followed by AOKP. Carbon's stables still have rebooting issues (haven't rebooted once on Liquid yet and I've ran it for 2 days now).

[Q] How well does CM10.1.2 Run?

Considering a Unlocked Nexus S new for a friend on T-Mobile. Saw there is a stable CM10.1.2 release for it and wondering how well it runs being that the phone is 1Ghz and only 512MB ram. My friend is new to smartphones and wont be gaming or doing anything intense. But does it handle browsing and GPS ok?
Thanks
Never heard of cm10.1.2? My nexus s is running 4.2.2 and is really smooth. I never had any problems with 4.2.2 on optimus g even GPS works good for me.

This is just a link to cyanogenmod wiki.. and says nothing about 10.1.2... It's strange that their nightlies (the most current versions available) are only 10.1 and not 10.1.2.. but thanks, you're awesome!!

It runs well out of the box, no bugs whatsoever. The default launcher is great replace it with nova for more customization or with a simpler launcher like smart launcher for more free memory and better multitasking.

10.1.2 fixes a Master Key vulnerability.

Flashed 10.1.2 yesterday, performance is quite smooth and phone is very responsive. Got a total of 396MB RAM with stock kernel.
I must admit i was a little sceptical it runs wery smoothly. At this moment, only two reboots but blame it on me because i overclocked.

Stable CM 10.1.2 with stock kernel installed after full wipe/full format:
same problems as the nightlies, lags, reboots, slow and painful sometimes... like waiting for nothing in manya apps and getting the message that allows you to kill the app even if you're not multitasking at all.
Unusable and most of all you can't run it for days without rebooting.

Working nicely so far my only app that doesn't run fully is "inssider". It doesn't crash but some of the WiFi graphs aren't working. No biggie.
I assume since the topic is labeled as 4.3 that the 0813 version of gapps should be applied?

Slim Team recommends that you use their 4.3 gapps, either AIO or the minimal for best results. http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/908-addons4-3/downloads/dlsearch

This is actually a pretty nice ROM. Thanks killersloth!
As people have pointed out bluetooth doesn't work, but also init.d scrips are not enabled. Apart from that haven't really faced any major issues.
Hoping the next release fixes these bugs.
Any chance of getting the SLIMOTA working? I know this is an unofficial Slimbean build, but couldn't you edit the app to point to your server instead?
I really like this one! It is snappier than cm10.2, and I think I like it even better than Carbon. I'm still getting it set up, but so far I'm impressed. I. Haven't tried everything I need yet, but I like the responsiveness, and think I may have found my new daily driver! at least until something else comes along that I have to try . I'm wishing I could try Ubuntu, but it is not ready yet.
I'll stick with this for a while and see how it goes.
Thanks again, though, it's really cool to see so many ROMs popping up for this device.

Two more bugs to add. Locations doesn't work and the Youtube app is very buggy. Going to hold off using this as a daily driver. Will try again after a couple of releases.
Definitely smoother than 10.2. Thanks for the great work!
