I second this. Check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203635
It's the Tiamat 2.1 Hammerhead ROM. I've installed it on a 3.0.1 device after unlocking and rooting, I'm sure it will work for a 3.1 system too.
I have the Xoom 3G, but I believe this should work for the Wifi-only Xoom as well.

glad you guys found this and enjoy your rooted rom. Dont know how you guys made it to General and did not notice a rooted version of your rom in Development....lol
Enjoy and may I suggest you give that Launchpad kernel a shot it runs very nice at 1.5 - 1.6

Hi all,
Planning on getting a Xoom, but trying to do my usual research isn't going particularly well. I've been searching through all the threads looking for the usual mods, but am completely confused with what works for the UK / Euro Xooms?
I have found a guide on rooting the UK version, but do the OC kernels work? Are they the same as the US versions?
Sorry if this has been covered a million times, i'm just not finding a great deal of info other than "I bricked my Xoom by flashing X,Y or Z!
Thanks In Advance,
Dex
yes. tiamat kernel 1.4.x, clockwork 3.0.2.8 are compatible with euro xoom. learn more HERE.
So the kernel has nothing to do with the 3g side of things?
Sorry for being numb, dealt with quite a few android devices, but there seems to be a lot of Xoom paperweights being made and don't want to make the same mistake.
Many thanks!
kernel should be seperate from the os. however, if not developed properly could affect 3g.
hey, good question. ask everything you need before you move forward on something your not sure of.

Hi , did you manage to flash using the tiamat kernel, I have a uk xoom 3g, I would like to use tiamat as I want to overclock . So confused how to do this. Tried flashing a ocboot.img from an overclock guide and my xoom got stuck at the dual core screen, I have recovered from this by flashing a euro boot
I'm not sure where the guys are at these days cause IV been away a while but Tiamat has been having problems maintaining 3G connections.
As for mods, there is little that will work for us at the moment because we are stuck 3.0. Once we get 3.1 we'll start to see more.

You can install Tiamat to do it but its been a bit sketchy with 3G. I have tried to get a stock kernel compiled so I can start modifying it for those of us outside the US but I don't have the kernel skills and never got it to boot.

ah right ok, does 3g not work at all then? Could you point me in the right direction on how to install tiamat if its not too much trouble please.
Does it have to be done with an sd card & does that recovery thing have to be flashed?
Sorry , searched for so long on this and no one seems to reply.
Thanks much appreciated

It works, but usually drops and wont reconnect until after a reboot. If you look in the dev section the old tiamat kernel thread will explain. I'm on phone so can't get thread links etc.

The thread for installing tiamat is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978013 and yes, install is through cwm. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074979 will show you how to install cwm.
fwiw, I've got a 3g euro xoom running the 3.1 us build with the euro telephony files pushed and tiamat 1.44 and I've no issues with 3g, other than the signal strength is incorrectly reported. Hth
Thanks for reply mate, I have since installed tiamat 1.4.1 on my xoom version 3.0.1. so far running ok and oc to 1.5ghz. Is there any clear advantage updating to 3.1 and using tiamac 1.4.4
thank for reply
What are you guys using to see clock speed, think I've managed to get mine updated, ran thru the euro 3.1 thread yesterday and all was well, today flashed the Tron#4 kernel.
I cant check my 3g works as I dont have the apn for giffgaff atm although I am searching as I type this and my SDcard doesnt work (have an external folder but its empty and I cant write to it.)

Hi, anyone want to engage in a discussion of the differences between the new Acer-based 3.1 Honeycomb ROMs??
We've got Dexter's Aconia ROM, Virtuous Picasso 1.0.5+, HoneyVillain, and maybe some others too. What are the pros and cons of each? I tried Dexter's PRIMEE ROM, but wasn't keen on the ASUS/Acer issues. I am currently running Virtuous 1.0.5, but think I might try Dexter's next. Now that these have gone to the leaked Acer 3.1, they should be easier to compare...
I'm talking ONLY the Acer-based ROMs... What works in one but not in the other, what does one do better than the other, etc., etc. Not trying to bash any one ROM -- I am sure each one is great -- just trying to figure out which one to go with long-term.
EDIT: I just realized I may have put this in the wrong place... sorry. If this should go in the "General" discussion, I apologize. Can it be moved or closed (and restarted in General)?
I was wondering the same. I now have the default stock 3.1 loaded and rooted my device. But reading the positive storys of the other roms, I actually want to try them. But not sure where to begin.
Perhaps Ill just wait a week or so and see which thread is most active, that will prob be the most popular rom

Main issue this leak is from china and for me my main issue is uk locale. Websites think I am in wrong region like bbc iplayer etc. English us is only language option in location. The Asus rom is global and when you buy a transformer the 3.1 updates downloads auto and asks you to install it. However Acer are lagging behind too busy with w500 tablet to offer us official 3.1. Asus rom also more multimedia focussed so many parts of it blow this Acer roms away. Widgets on Asus rom are great like email and weather even clock. Pcasso 1.07 is good but graphic glitches and reboots make it a no no for me. Honeyvillian is good but I need a bit more flare on this iconia. Picasso will push this tablet and get most out of it as m-deejay is a major dev. Too early to judge as we really just started here

I'm using tabonay right now, because it's the first one I found that did not require a data wipe when going from acer stock rom. (At the moment, i wasn't inclined to reinstall my apps and widgets). Can't say anything for the other 3.1 roms, as I havn't tried them yet.

Sticking with Virtuous 1.0.6
I have Virtuous 1.0.6 working flawlessly now; and given the nasty bugs that've been reported on 1.0.7 and on Dexter's mod, I won't be updating anytime soon. I don't have any need to overclock so I guess I'm fine with what I've got for now.
I'll wait until things settle down a bit and go with the ROM that seems the least buggy. I imagine things will continue to develop at a furious pace for a couple weeks, then slow down.

where you able to retain your apps from 3.0.1? or have to wipe/format...
I am running HoneyVillain and it may not have much flash as previously mentioned, it is very stable. Given how soon its been since the first ROM was ported, I am putting more emphasis on stability for now.
Well, since Virtuous 1.0.8 is now out with Acer and ASUS based ROMs, I took the plunge (I'm a sucker for new versions). It's awesome. Overclocked by default and running silky smooth.
I think you could probably skip a wipe (and thus keep your apps) if you go straight from 3.0.1 or 3.1 to Virtuous 1.0.8 (as long as you go with the Acer-based ROM). I'm not sure. I wiped before going to a custom ROM.
Keep in mind, you'll lose all settings on your system apps, as the system folder gets deleted.
In case I have missed any thing. Are there any kernel source available for Acer based 3.1 rom up to now? If no, why some self compiled kernel say it can compatible with both Acer & Asus 3.1 ROM? Thanks.
I am using leaked 3.1 advantage being there is no need to wipe out data , disadvantage cannot overclock .

My 3G Xoom is my first android device. With help from all the great developers I have been able to root. I am currently on Launchpad 1.3 gemini which I love. I do want to get the update to 3.2 but now I am confused as to what to do.
I have read that Launchpad has teamed up with Tiamat. My question is there going to be some Kernal that will allow the 3g users to get 3.2? Tiamat is coming out with all these updates I feel that maybe I am behind. Do I need to just wait?

The newest Tiamat Roms do indeed support the 3G Xooms. Launchpad 1.3 is a kernel for the Xoom, not a custom Rom. It sounds like you are on the stock 3.1 Rom with the Launchpad kernel. Follow the steps I have provided, and follow what the quote below states if you want know a little more additional info.
Step 1: Back up all apps with their data via the Titanium Backup app. Reboot into recovery. Wipe data. Install Tiamat 1.1 Rom:
Titanium Backup on the market
Tiamat 1.1 (HC 3.1)
Step 2: Wipe data again. Install Tiamat 2.1 Hammerhead Rom:
Tiamat 2.1 (HC 3.2)
Step 3: Restore all apps with their data via Titanium Backup.
Step 4: (Optional): Install the overclocked GPU Tiamat kernel:
Tiamat "Tachi" OC GPU kernel (HC 3.2)
From there you should be ready to go with your new Tiamat Honeycomb 3.2 Rom!
And if you need any additional help, let me know, or you can post your question in the appropriate thread that you are having the problem with in the links I have provided above. They are the official Tiamat threads.
okantomi said:
You could flash the Tiamat Rom 1.1 which is for 3.1 (but you will need to wipe (it's a rom) and then flash the manta ray which will get you the 3.2 update, and preserve your root. I love it with the "tachi" kernel. From there you could flash the Hammerhead rom or just hang out with the Manta Ray for a while...It is shark week, right?
EDIT: On edit, I see that Team Tiamat has labeled their Manta Ray rom obsolete, so I guess the progression should be directly fromTiamat Rom 1.1 (for HC3.1) to Hammerhead Rom 2.1. Just load these files onto your sdcard, get into recovery , wipe/factory reset, flash 1.1, reboot, get back to recovery, wipe/factory reset, flash 2.1, reboot and hopefully Win1!
Does that sound about right? Oh and the tachi kernel (non-oc gpu) is included with the 2.1 Hammerhead Rom, but you can flash the oc gpu version over the rom if you like.

3.0.1 used to be available in acer support downloads, but today isn't there. I think that they're sort of uploading the new version, so I'm afraid you have to wait some days. However here on XDA forum someone posted A501 rom image, so you might try to search for it.

I'm running taboonay v2.0 on a501, 3g function work well...
Taboonay not work well, my tablet reboot when i active 3g ...
It is the only bug that i have on my A501 with Taboonay ... I hope this bugg will corrected soon ...
Anyone got a great setup doing really well and willing to share? thanks in advance!
i would read 1 of the many threads asking the exact same question
Stock rooted 3.2?
I like taboonay 2.2 coupled with richard trip's 3.4 kernel, however, it's the only rom I have tried. Trip's 3.7 kernel I had a couple problems I couldn't live with.
Rooted 3.2 with thor's kernel 3.8r3 has been solid for me.
Taboonay 2.2 with Thors kernel v3.4. I haven't bothered updating the kernel to Thors latest as my current setup is running perfectly fine.
Running Thor's 3.6 ROM and his newest Kernel. Most solid for me. I've tried Taboonay, lightspeed, honeyvillan, as well as a few others but I keep going back to Thor. While the others are good too, it just seems to me that Thor's ROM is the best and handling video playback, even without overclocking.
I do not believe there is a BESTrom out there.they all have there own good and unique qualities. Try a few and find what suites you best.
From the many threads I have read it does seem the roms closer to stock will give you the most stability with less issues.But will likely be slower with less blunt and extra settings and software,and having less not needed software pushed by acer.
Good luck choosing.JUST REMEMBER BACKUP BACKUP TO SEVERAL PLACES.
READ 4 TIMES FLASH ONCE.
I agree there is no best, but.....
I run taboonay and and the latest thor kernel.
Currently running Taboonay 2.2 and Thor's Kernel 3.9. Pretty solid and no complaints. Running 1.68 and stable.
Unfortunately I run a 501 so roms are pretty limited. No internal 3g support.
However, I ran Thors Revolver ported for the 500 and was impressed with the display response which was slicker than some of the other roms I've flashed.. Unfortunately we couldn't get the internal 3g working all the way.
For me the roms dont really matter on this device. If i understand it correctly they all come from an acer base rom since theres no hc source. I run civato mix but only because it was the first to support hulufied flash. The kernel is what is important to me and thors is beast. He also has a rom but havent tried it. Tegraowners.com
