[Q] I am lost and could use some help

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.

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.

Sounds right! And yeah, I was going to tell him to skip the Manta Ray Rom completely and go straight to Hammerhead, which is why I put optional in parenthesis, I was debating that.
I'll do some editing for him. Make it one nice post. Thanks, like always!
I bump into you a whole lot here on the Xoom topics. Lol.

Cool! Glad to be of service. Enjoy Team Tiamat!

[ROM] Minimalist 3.2.1 - Multilang, External Drive RW, Keyboard fix, Ad-Hoc WiFi etc.

Minimalist 3.2.1 ROM.
Built on custom modified Tiamat Xoom 2.1 ROM and HoneyVillain 2.5 kernel. No screenshots available. Just imagine or look up what the Xoom's UI looks like.
Download the ROM here.
Instead of doing a mega-patch, I've just decided to upload the numerous enhancements and fixes as an entire new ROM.
Kernel sources will be available here - https://github.com/anarchron/Iconia_a500_3.1

Thank you for posting a new rom, though a more detailed guide of what is included/not and some screen shots would be excellent. Thank you.

What is this based on? Stock Asus?
EDIT: But also, thankyou for putting in the effort!

Just wondering, since you didn't mention it in detail in the first post.
Did you include honeyvillain 2.5 kernel?

Stock Xoom 3.2 with modified HoneyVillain kernel.

any chance of some screen shots?
also, what apps are included/excluded?
thank you.

ROM is working very well here, thank you for the effort you've put in.
I decided to be a bit cheeky and see if it would work upgrading from HoneyVillain (3.1 Acer base) without a data wipe, and it worked fine. If I come across any issues though I'll be sure to wipe before complaining.

Downloading......seems very interesting specially the fix of the portrait mode....
Thanks

First feedback - will it work with Richardtrip's stock 2.5 kernel without your modifications? And if not - could you enable overclocking in your kernel? You've got it set to a maximum of 1ghz it seems.

What about 3g support ?

how is the audio laud in this rom..? i like the acer one for the good audio...
thanx

It won't work on the stock kernel. I made a mistake earlier and left out the over clocking function. I'm currently rebuilding the kernel and preparing a patch to enable overclocking.
To fully comply with GPL stuff, I will be forking the HoneyVillain kernel source sometime later this week. I have yet to figure out the subtleties of github.

@dr1337
just flashed ... seems to be most stable 3.2 for now ...
will try some apps and stuff to see if it will be still stable
well ...
i have one request: can u offer a patch to bring back german language?

Google Account Sign-In
I keep getting a 'Google Account sign-in failure' when I try to set up my gmail account. I've performed a full wipe and initially I flashed the rom and then I immediately flashed the oc patch. On the second attempt I wiped again and just installed the rom and both times I get the same error. Any help would be great!

Disregard that last message, it seems to be working now. Odd...

[Q] thor 3.9R4 compatible with taboonay 3.01?

My A500 was running Taboonay 3.01ROM without any problem. When watching some 720P video it tented to stutter here and there so I though I should look into overclocking it. I downloaded kernel 3.9R4 for custom ROM from tegraowners and installed it. The tablet stopped working after reboot. I could still see the lock button but I was not able to unlock the screen. It seemed the touch screen did not work any more. I then did a reset boot with power-vol-up-gyro combination and it is now on the "Welcome" screen. But the "start" button is grayed out and it does not respond to any screen press, like a frozen windows pc.
IS there any way I can push the old working kernel into the tablet. maybe using adb push?
Thanks,
Jay

Tabooney 3.0.1 is ICS i.e. thor's 3.9R4 kernel is incompatible because it is for Honeycomb. Reflash another full ROM.

Thanks for the info. How do I flash another ROM? I normally ran ACER recovery to boot into recovery. I can not do that any more so what are the steps for installing a new ROM?
Thanks,
Jay

Here we go again. Let's keep it clean, shall we?

I was able to re-install the taboonay 3.0 rom by Power + vol- into recovery and install it from external SD card. Everything is back to its original working order.
Thanks!
Now a question, is there a kernel I can use on ICS to overclock my A500?

No. This is stock kernel with all the custom ICS ROMs here (sources are still unavailable). Thor's project is AOSP and comes with custom kernel which is overclockable.

I was looking in the Xoom threads, and found this kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488059
It says "Including overclocking to 1.7GHz", but when I load the kernel atop my rom, I still don't get the CPU to show anything more than 1000mhz.
Does anyone know if there some type of module that has to be loaded now-a-days? Some type of configuration change required? Or do we just need to wait for a custom kernel that has this all worked out a head of time.

Overclocking stock ICS ROMS
I've been annoyed that I can not keep my ARM running at 1.5GHz as well and was looking at the manual settings in SetCPU. I think (I haven't tested yet and might be wrong) you can make a simple text file to specify the CPU speeds. Has anyone else tried this and maybe can supply a copy of their text file?
I'll try later tonight and report back if it works if no-one else gets back 1st

Now there's a good one. Let's load a Motorola kernel on top of an Acer Rom with Acer hardware.
You're lucky you didn't bork the tab
Then we;d have to refer you to the Zoom forum to get it unborked.

Overclocking using any app requires a Kernel that actually supports this feature -- which Acer ICS Stock 2.6.39.4+ doesn't. As Acer didn't release the source for a Kernel that was never meant to be used by the general public (It's a Leak, remember?) we can't add this feature. Flashing another kernel is probably a dumb idea also, as it almost definitely isn't going to anything other than brick your tab (If you try anyway, at least do a NAND backup). Once Acer releases the sources for their ICS kernel (which won't be before they release the ROM) OC will be possible using our own, hacked, kernels -- until then, be patient (or use HC).

so there's still no custom kernel for taboonay 3.0.1 for overclocking?

EZTerry's OC kernel in the Dev section should work. "should". It's an ICS kernel.

How do I upgrade to ICS?

I have a TF101 on 3.2.1 custom OS and Kernel 2.6.36.3-g32125f7-dirty ([email protected] #92).
It's been such a long time since I went through the razorclaw setup and flashed this thing, I don't really remember what I did so I'm having to start over on knowledge so I'm hoping some of you experts can help me.
I would like to go to an ICS build, doesn't matter if its official, custom, etc. Obviously, a clean and stable custom is nice due to the lack of bloatware and I would refer to stay rooted going forward, but I don't want to deal with things like shortcut keys not functioning, wireless issues, etc .. so if its a custom rom, something 99% functional is a must. Otherwise, I'd be happy to go to stock ICS. The only reason I upgraded to a custom one in the first place was so I could overclock which I don't do anymore.
Could someone point me to something that would walk me through the following:
- Point me to a highly recommended STABLE ICS build that allows for overclocking?
- Point me to instructions on how to take my already clockworked honeycom tablet to ICS? (Do I just drop some rom on an SDCard, reboot, hold down some key combination, select to upgrade and I'm done?)
- AND .. anything else? I know sometimes you have to update radios & kernels and other stuff, and sometimes instructions get crazy complicated, so I'm hoping there's an easy instruction list somewhere?
Thanks!!

These are the two i have tried that are ICS:
Revolver 4 by Gnufabio | 4.1.1 Stable - IC411 | Jun 23 | FaceUnlock | APM
Android Revolution HD 3.4.2 | High Quality & Performance | ICS | TF101/101G
I am currently using Revolver 4 ROM and im enjoying it very much. I have also installed Guevor v22.6 kernel and im OC'ed to 1.2GHz and getting excellent battery life.
Im assuming you can just load up the ROMs on your SD card and just install them through CWM. Just make sure you do a completely wipe of your system after you do a backup.

You shoudln't have to do much!
1) download the ICS ROM you would like to use. I suggest Team EOS' latest nightly or their stable EOS 2.0 ROM, both in the development section
2) reboot to recovery
3) nandroid backup your current boot, system, and data partitions
4) wipe everything
5) flash ICS ROM
6) reboot
7) enjoy ICS

Most ROMs include a kernel. It may only be a stock kernel or the dev may have used a custom OC kernel. A different kernel can always be flashed through CWM.

Correct! Team EOS comes with its own OC kernel based on the latest source from Asus.

[Q] What's your favorite ROM?

Hi everyone,
Im kinda new to the whole modding scene of the i9000. Ive had my phone for over a year now, only recently have I updated to stock GB 2.3.6 rom and flashed CF-Root and CWM. Now I want to play around with it a bit more haha.
So I just putting the question out there. As I am new Im not to sure on the "popular" ROMs. Ive read a little that JB is unstable for the i9000, Ill be happy with ICS. If everyone can comment on what ROM theyre using, and why its the best.
Thanks in advance

You really should give the official CyanogenMod 10 a try (latest Google Android Jelly Bean v4.1.1)
Please, point me to the writings where it says that it's unstable. That's a kids-talk lye
- charge battery to 100 %
- remove Sim-card and External SD-card
- flash stock JW8 with Odin3 v1.87 (pit-512 and repartition)
- flash CF-Root JW4 v4.4
- shut down phone and enter CWM Recovery using the 3-button combo
- in CWM Recovery do a wipe data factory reset
- in CWM Recovery mount all and format all (yes, best to format internal USB to)
- in CWM Recovery mount internal USB to PC and copy downloaded CM10 + Gapps
- flash CM10 nightly (phone will boot in CWM Recovery)
- do a wipe data factory reset again
- flash CM10 again + latest JB Gapps
- fix permissions in CWM and boot
- have fun!
-Sam-
PS: If you want ICS, download latest CyanogenMod 9 nightly (see CM10 download link above) + latest ICS Gapps and follow the same procedure Play around with both of them and take your pick. You can't go wrong with any custom CM9/CM10 builds either... I'll stick to the official CM10 + Devil3 v1.5.2 kernel :good:

Wow, now thats an answer! :thumbup: Mine's gonna be a lot poorer
I am on cm9.1 with devils 1.4.1 kernel and its amazingly smooth, stable and fast. All you want. I like how simple it is.
Tried AOKP Milestone 6, which has a little more extras (weather in notification panel and lockscreen and so on) and is one of the best ICS Roms. You could also try SlimICS or other roms, but I can't tell you nothing about them cause I didn't try them.
Also there is a certain project called MIUI which could be of your interest: It is very similar to iOS from Apple and also based on ICS or GB.
Or go directly for the new Jelly Bean!
So you see, the world of flashing just opened the doors for you! Enjoy this amazing community as I do and make yourself a new handy!
Never forget to thank the developers for their amazing work they do after a hard workday in real life just to improve our old devices!

Wow! Haha. Ill agree...that was some answer.
Ok so i dont have specific posts that say JB is unstable, I have come to the conclusion that I must of been blindish when i read the threads as I think they may have been from when the thread started, which in some cases is MONTHS ago. In other words when the porting of JB was still in testing.
Thanks for the answer. Im gonna try it out, although I havent yet seen the potential in ICS (yes im a bit behind), why not jump straight to JB.
Atleast with a nand and efs backup, and a jig handy, I can give a few roms/kernels a try.
Thanks to you both and to the developers of the xda community :good:
I look forward to visiting and maybe contributing in the future.
