Please Suggest a Stable ROM for XOOM MZ601 - Everest? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello XOOMERS! :highfive:
I just rooted my Motorola XOOM 3G Version - MZ601 (Named as Everest,correct me if I'm wrong!) Running on ICS 4.0.4.
The reason i rooted my device was to overclock so that some games don't lag on it,also i wanted to try Jellybean custom rom if available for my model.
Please provide the link for a stable jellybean rom for MZ601 Everest XOOM and also advice on which kernel to flash with.
I would be really glad if someone could help me

Hi new rooted Xoomer! Glad to see you here .
There are some good ROMs out there, my favs are CM10.1 and EOS4. But you can try some others . In the second post of my FAQ (Sticky in Q&A) I covered up most of Xoom ROMs out, hope you can find one really suitable for your needs.
Happy flashing .
~Lord

I only flashed it using the recovery of tiamat.. Those were CM 10.1 and a gapps.. Thats all...

I'm running CM 10.1 and it is very stable for me. Maybe a bad flash. Did you try doing a fresh install of the ROM after wiping your XOOM?

MZ601 is Everest, but if you dont use the 3g (sim card) connection, Wingray will also work.
Everest (MZ601) = 3g + WiFi
Wingray (MZ604) = WiFi only

[Q] system update 4.0.4 with teamos 1.0 rom

Hello, i installed the teamos rom stable a week ago, and i'm very surprised to receive what it seems like an official update to 4.0.4. So i have a few questions :
1. Is it safe to accept this update ? I mean without loosing the teamos features ?
2. Could the teamos propose its updates the same way ?
Thank you
1. No. You will end up in a boot loop.
2. They don't have that capability to my knowledge.

you need to get the paid version of Titanium Backup and freeze the android updater process to prevent the update notifications.
Edit.. well this worked on my phone to get rid of the notifications.. but i cant find the program that does it on CM9.. so i dont know

I agree the solution would be to upgrade to a 4.0.4 teamos version. Maybe they could tag this as a 1.5 stable So « simple users» like me wouldn't be afraid.
The problem still exists since a new 4.0.5 OTA would cause the same problem......

system update 4.0.4 with teamos 1.0 rom
I would never try to perform an official OTA update after a custom from has been installed. That is just asking for trouble. You also mentioned that you were running team eos's rom. I can tell you first hand experience, I've been a very loyal team EOS from user for my Xoom for several months and typically load every nightly they put out for my model. The reason I point this out, is because most times the developer roms xda are actually much further along than the official updates. The biggest example is the fact that ICS is not available officially from Motorola/Verizon as of yet. Plus you get so many features and functions you will likely not see in the official builds.
Others - feel free to help me explain, agree, disagree, etc....
Good luck,
®obert
I've tried many, and I mean many roms, mods, and themes. Hands down - Team EOS is the single most exciting, knowledgeable, helpful and down right customer oriented in the Android Development groups.

Xoom Newbie

Evening all, just bought myself a XOOM and I am loving it, I am just wondering if anyone can tell me if I am using a stock ROM??
Its an MZ601
Android Version 3.2
Kernel 2.6.36.3
[email protected] #1
Build
H.6.5-17-3
I am trying to weigh up wether I should try a JB ROM or just wait for the official version as I don't think it's that far off?
Are there any ROMs that support the UK 3G MZ601 ??
Thanks in advance!
Yup. Jellybean rom from team eos supports your device but 3g not yet working. But there is fully functional amazing rom for your device ics version from team eos. Check development section.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk 2
My device is still in warranty so iam a little worried to flash and void my warranty! Especially considering JB should be here imminently....
It also looks a little involved flashing a rom! I've done custom kernels and roms on android phones before but I didn't pay for them out of my own pocket (work phones)!!!
Thanks for the pointers guys!!

You don't even have ICS yet, so good luck getting OTA JB.
Flash EOS stingray ICS. It's a big improvement over HC.
Seems there is an EOS JB rom now for the UK 3G MZ601 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777987
Are there any pointers to easy to follow instructions to flash?

You gotta have an unlocked boot loader and a custom recovery to flash EOS jellybean. Check the development section for the instructions on how to do those things. Its pretty simple.

[Q] Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8010 JB 4.3/4.4 ?? Root?

As topic says
I am a Tab2 user but i got this yesterday and i really need the JB 4.3 .
I just hate Samsung stock bloat rom. Is there any custom alternative to my Note GT-N8010?
Also is there any way to root this device?
I think i found a guide but i ask the professionals here instead of guessing
Thanks guys/Girls!
There are plenty of roms and ways to be rooted, you should check the whole android dev. Forum before oppening a new topic asking for something that is already there...
Well is i said im not sure what i can use or not. I do not want to damage my tablet and therefor i ask the guys who knows what rom i can use with my GT-N8010 32GB
Most of the roms i have been looking at doesn't say if it is for my device or the other 8xxx devices. I have root but i want a new fast rom (4.3-4.4) with working s-pen and IR
i ask because i do not want to make a mistake :/ Also looking for a good Kernel!
I am looking for
*Rom thats fast with no bloat (4.3/4.4) working with GT-N8010 32GB
*A nice Kernel with over clock possibility working with GT-N8010 32GB

Well, I have a n8010 too, and we dont have a 4.4 rom yet, I tried Omnirom but wasnt able to install it. 4.3.1 rom is the CyanogenMod 10.2 , you can check official CM page and look for the n8013 model it should work just fine and it comes preloaded with a good kernel, but the rom is so fast fhat you wont need any OC, after thst you got Android Revolution HD and Hyperdrive, I am currently on hyperdrive (4.2.1) and sweet lord is FAST it comes with bloat only if Uwant it and all the spen funcionalities, Oh yeah..also CM10.2 doesnt come with all the spen funcionalities but the pressure sensitivity is the same.. (but you dont have snote and the realtime cropping option etc, those come with touchwiz.... My re omendation?.. Hyperdrive. Next one would be CM10.2 both are really awesome (for me) but one is AOSP and the other is touchwiz
Thank you very much! Will take a look at CM10.2 as i didnt get the Wifi working on Hyper.....

For making wi fi work on hyperdrive you must change the wifi channel of your router, I have it on automatic and its great

Concerning hyperdrive i had the same problem some time ago. maybe try one of the solutions here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2296669
They did work back then, but i don't know if they still do.
For me (almost) all roms for the n8013 were/are working fine on the n8010.
If you have problems, try to flash latest version of Philz recovery(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2202714) for 8013 !!! with odin.
for rooting methods 2 and 3 should do from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080366.
an odin alternative http://www.xda-developers.com/android/meet-jodin3-a-web-tool-that-flashes-your-samsung-device/
4.3 rom -> maybe http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2151873
4.4 -> omni
I'm loving omnibus on my 8010. I had to install the 8013 recovery to get it working but official omnirom builds are imminent and should support the 8010 directly.
The rom is fast, sleek, no real issues I can see, excellent power usage. Loving it

go with [4.4.2] OmniROM instead...
Although I did try Hyperdrive, I wasn't too impressed & Pacman was better, as I have been on 4.1.2 since day one & finally made the switch. I skipped over 4.2/4.3 & decided to go with the [[UNOFFICIAL Kit-Kat]] omniROM 4.4.2 on mine for the meantime. I am very much impressed, only issue I have found so far, is the 'Swype' feature isn't working, but other than that, its stellar thus far. I would highly recommend this rom for your tablet, until something 'new comes along... Maybe a Jedi X-Master ROM for our Note10.1's!!!
OmniROM 4.4 Does work for Galaxy Note 801x
One catch about OmniROM, it doesn't have a root built-in, so don't forget to root your device after you install the new ROM.
So to install, make sure you have CWM 6.0.4.4 (aka Philz Touch) or TWRP 2.6.3.1 as your recovery, and then go from there. The newest Roms are located on the OmniROM website now, and N801x is included. Get the gapps for Android 4.4, install after you install the ROM. Install the root after all that.
It's easy to install, and easy to use. I have been using Omni for about a month now, and it runs great. I just wish Samsung would've had enough sense to update all their models with this version of Android.

First install a custom recovery, the one I have found to work best is Philz Touch. You can do a search and find the link for it here in XDA. It's good because as I have noted before, OmniROM does not come rooted. Philz Touch has to be the easiest recovery I have ever used to install root, and you may want to do it several times because there are nightlies for the ROM.
As for the ROM, go to dl.omnirom.org and go to the folder for 'n801x'
Once you get the zip file downloaded, copy it to your SD card, install the recovery, and then install the ROM
Oh, don't forget, make sure you also get gapps for Android 4.4 on your SD card before doing this. Pointless to have a ROM with no gapps install.
Let me know if you have any problems.
Good luck
