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.
Will this rom make my xoom faster? Currently running stock 4.1.2

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!

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.
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.

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.

TRIM will be the most useful feature for our device
Well there are a few improvements:
- New way of multi-user accounting (i.e. grant access to apps to users). Those apps can be installed from the owner account. So no need to install common apps multiple times.
- Google has improved graphic perfomance by re-ordening draw commands in a more efficient way
- Improved security. SELinux is implemented. This also a down side because the standard way of root needs to be changed. The CM team is working on that.
For me personally the improved multi-user is a big welcome. This way i do not have to share my Play account that is coupled with my creditcard with the account of my daughter. And i can give her access to only the apps that we think she can use.
==================
I have a working build of CM10.2. There are still things that needs adressing. So i hope that xplodwild has time to look at those things.
Things that need adressing:
- Video playing needs fixing. HD does not work yet
- root is not working as it should. Titanium backup does not restore and just hangs.

New thread for CyanogenMod builds (currently nightlies) for hlte devices. Previously, Note 3 (qualcomm devices) builds were separate, but now they are unified. So, hltespr, hltetmo, hltevzw, htlexx are now all in one build: hlte.
Download page can be found here: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hlte.
FAQs (please read before asking any questions):
AlecRobertson said:
Does this build work on the 4.4 bootloader? Yes! It works on the 4.4.2 NA6/NA7/NB3 bootloaders.
Is this build stable? No. There will be issues (see known issues below)
Where can I get the latest recovery that is compatible with this ROM? http://d-h.st/users/xiaolu/?fld_id=31963. You can also use the latest version of TWRP.
Can I update OTA from an hltexx, etc. build to an hlte build? No.
Is there any advantage to upgrading to the 4.4 bootloader? No, not really, unless you call not being able to downgrade an advantage .
Can I downgrade from a 4.4 bootloader to a 4.3 bootloader. No (you can thank Samsung for that)! The only exception to this is if you have a Canadian variant of the Note 3. Then, you can downgrade
Can I install this on an Eyxnos device? No!
Which GApps should I use? I would recommend the Paranoid Android GApps. You can them from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942. If you want the Nexus experience, get the GOOGLE STOCK PACKAGE.

Success on Rogers SM-N900W8 ...
Well, I took the plunge … once again … with surprising success.
Installation was quite simple on my Rogers (Canadian) SM-N900W8, so I would imagine that all Canadian variants will provide similar results.
Prior to installing the 20140218 unified (hlte) version of CM, I had stock Touchwiz installed, with TWRP 2.6.3.7 as my recovery.
I first performed a Nandroid (always suggested), and then simply flashed both CM and GAPPS through TWRP. Yes, you read the previous sentence correctly. I flashed right from my existing TWRP recovery.
Prior to flashing, I wiped System, Data, Dalvik and Cache, which I did twice (moderate OCD here); however, I did NOT touch Internal Storage.
So far, so good. The device booted very quickly, much more quickly than usual. I then entered all the initial set-up information, and arrived, quite smoothly, at the initial home screen. I then went into Settings and set-up virtually everything.
As I said above, so far, so good. Wifi works very well. LTE works, although, I had to manually go into the APN settings and select the pre-configured Rogers LTE APN. It took a few minutes, but LTE finally popped-up on the Notification Bar.
So, that's it. I'm now installing all my apps. I'll let you know how everything goes once they are all installed (about 100).
Good luck everyone.

I'd always do a clean install by downloading it on your PC and clean flashing it anyway. I know it's a pain, but you'll get far less issues like this.

The KK bootloader doesn't offer any benefit/new feature over the JB one, SS just changed it to give us a hard time with custom ROMs and prevent us from downgrading. All the bootloader does is to allow the device to... boot (!)
I like this new version, I haven't gotten the black screen of death yet, and things seem to run smoother (probably placebo), and the battery seems better
