Anyone working on kitkating the xoom/xoom 3G?
i still love my good old xoom.
Have you noticed how slow it is compared to the new phones that have come out? I have actually considered getting an iPad air.

yeah, its old, but the old boy has still got some kick in him yet and i think that kitkat would go a long way to keeping it going and a bit longer.
I mainly use it for streaming media and internet, its fine for that.

have you even looked in the development forums? 4.3/4.4 is being worked on
Sent from my Nexus 5
I believe it will be available, not officially though. As the requirements to run KitKat are not as big as those for JB MR1.
And yes, Xoom is already an old device, it is slower than others, but that doesn't mean it is SLOW and BAD. Just slowER and not as good as. I have a Nexus 10 and I can tell the huge difference, however for the @op needs Xoom can do it pretty well.

I have 4.3 on it with Google Experience Launcher. I also repartioned which allows larger systems. The developers continue to support.

After hearing about the Nexus S getting JB I've been wondering if any other older phones will be getting official JB or prospects are looking good for a stable thrid-party port. I can't afford a SGSII or even a Galaxy Nexus right now...
Samsung captivate has job port pretty stable I believe. Just look around there's a lot of good phones out with great devs
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Youre right I should look around, gonna go through the JB port announcements on the main XDA site. The Captivate will certainly be an option to consider along the Nexus S.
EDIT:Seems Motorola Defy has a rather advanced port.
you can get the moto defy also, has a pretty decent CM10 and it can be got for cheap also
HTC Desire HD seems to have a advanced JB port.
The HD2 has a fairly good port, with everything but YouTube working. I don't think HWA is working either but I haven't really checked much, I'm still using CM9 until something better is released.
Captivate is very inexpensive and the Remic port of JB is working great
Edit: Nevermind, wrong forum. Too many open tabs. I know, very noob...

HTC Dinc2 has two promising threads of JB CM10 (N7 & Aeroevan's). Just flashed the latter last night and it's pretty good so far. There are some bugs, but they have a lot of active development on them.

Get the Captivate only if you don't need or care about gps. I had one, and gps never worked properly. But it was a decent phone otherwise.
My captivate had great gps but I did see a lot of crappy GPS cappys

Samsung vibrant almost instantly gets roms ported from the Nexus S, loved having that phone for that purpose. I still have it but retired it upon upgrading to hercules
i think the development of JB for DHD is quite good in progress...
and the galaxy note 10.1 appears to have a much better dev community. I can't help but think i should return my tf700 for a note 10.1
thoughts?
samsung devices have a bigger following. that's it.

I think some of this has to do with the fact that there are slight variations from the 300 to the 700, the 300 has a larger community but we can't just grab those devs since the differences in models are just enough to make it a pain, but the models are close enough that 300 owners probably won't upgrade. Compound this with the Nexus 7 and so many modders got that because its cheap and pure android and you see what we are in. Finally, the tablet just dropped (is about to drop?) in Europe so that shrinks the pool a bit.

How much is an unlocked rom really worth? On phones it's worth a lot because of all the bloatware and need to maximize battery life but on tablets ... most have so little bloatware. I would rather have a much quicker Jellybean than all the Rom support in the world at this current time.

I am working on getting custom ROMs on this thing and I am starting with JB directly. No use making an ICS custom ROM when JB is coming soon. Its not been easy to get this done.

I have to agree. Tablets are relatively clean. I have zero desire to do anything beyond the freezing of unneeded apps that I've already done.

Crespo is the name codename of Nexus S, Avatar is cool for costumisation but not that god with performance, search for HellyBean roms or Slim Bean roms, they have the best balance between features and performance (Helly Bean has some glitches that the creator will fix in 1-2 weeks, depending on how long his vacation is)

Keep it, if the hw is enough for your needs.
I installed this 4.3 ROM, very stable, have used it for 3-4 weeks now.
Have tried different 4.3 roms but all others have had problems with the camera and other stuff.

It's old by phone standards, but it's a good audio player compared to much newer ones,and because of google's suport of it untill 4.1 the roms that have later versions of JellyBean still work preety smooth. If you have money then buy a new phone but the man that started this thread vas asking us if it's still a good phone and it is, now if you compare it to the note 2, nexus 4 and phones like this well then it's not case it's 2 generations behind them, but it's still the best single core out there

Keep it, I'm new to android phones and I just got this phone, Nexus S and I'm very satisfied with it. Though at first I've had a problem with the battery life, I've managed to come along to having a stable one which is fixed with installing the latest version of CM and voila, everything for me is smooth... not much of a bug I guess.
BTW, I have a CM 10.2 Nightly ROM.

I was thinking of upgrading to a Nexus 4 since my Nexus S was running real slow, but after discovering the Hellybean ROM, it has brought new life to my phone and I think I'll hang on to it for quite some time to come! Like an earlier poster mentioned, the latest 4.3 release needs some major fixing, but version 4.2 works great!

This isn't entirely true. Android KitKat was designed to use less power. It can technically be used on some of the oldest android devices.

I have to agree, we'll definitely see 4.4 on our device sometime in the near future. Probably not an official update from HTC, but in the form of aosp for sure.

You know as well as I do that official support for our phone is finished. We won't see 4.3, let alone 4.4. And with all the problems 4.3 roms are having, the wait for anything 4.4 will be even worse.

I don't doubt that we'll see 4.4 custom roms eventually. But it's going to take awhile. There's basically no chance of anymore support from HTC. They won't even give us 4.3.

i wish if we had some STABLE ROM for 4.3
forget sense AOSP would also do good!
:crying::crying::crying::angel:
as faar as 4.4 is concerned its optimized for Devices with lower memory (so it has to be fast) and there are a few observable changes in UI as well (no more stock HALO BLUE color) so i would really love to have it!

Just because CM is almost unusable recently it doesn't mean other ROMs are necessarily the same. Slimbean (4.3) is perfectly stable, in fact I've been using it for weeks and I haven't encountered any issues at all. I'd actually class the ROM as being almost perfect. The only reason it loses points in my mind is because it doesn't have a screenshot tile, other than that I can't fault it at all. I'm actually seriously surprised more people aren't using it, maybe they just aren't aware it's there.

i admit the fact even i was unaware of SLIMBEAN being 4.3.
in fact i was going to give Beanstalk a try cause its an OFFICIAL NIGHTLY and your signature also mentions it :good:
for the screenshot i believe there are aftermarket apps so that will be no issue for me!
secondly i had this thing in mind!?
does any AOSP rom have a battery saver option where the device goes to sleep!?
cause that really helps me!
I forgot my signature still said that, changed back to Slimbean now lol. As far as I know there's no battery saver tool built in to aosp, you can use an app like Tasker to cut data connections etc while the screen is off though.

no.
its more than just porting. you need the framework for sense to work on the n5, and a kernel to support it. right now you have neither. its not a little work, its so much work that nobody in their right mind would spend the time on it, and for free!
trust me. the only people on this planet that want sense on their devices have already purchased a phone from HTC...the same company who lost 3 billion dollars last quarter.

I understand that but when I used the newer sense it wasn't as slow like the other versions of sense. So to me sense 5 wouldn't be as slow on our n5. Plus if it was then we could remove the bloatware to make it less heavy on our n5.

go ahead. make sure that you get the framework working on a nexus 5 first, then develop a kernel to support sense. really, it would be cool if you do. i wouldnt use it, but some would. the issue is that it would take a mass amount of time and effort to do so, and not many are willing to be so dedicated to it.
I came from having had 3 HTC phones in the past. Evo 4g, evo 3d, and evo 4g LTE. All good phones. Sense wasn't terrible.
I can say though the only thing I miss was linked contacts. That rocked. Otherwise I'm totally happy with stock android and getting updates when they come out, not a year later or never.
