Official ICS vs GED device vs EOS Team JB - Xoom General

Hi!
I bought a Spanish XOOM about 8 months ago and I'm still stuck with Android 3.2. Motorola is supposed to be releasing ICS for European Wifi Xooms before 2012 Q2 (which already ended, now they say that before July ends, which is tomorrow) while in USA are already working with 4.1.1 JB.
So I have the doubt of what's the best way to proceed:
a.- Wait for the 4.0.3 (or 4.0.4) official release, and wait another 6-12 months for Jellybean. The advantage is not loosing the warranty and the disadvantage is having to wait until Motorola releases ICS. I'm really tired of waiting to motorola (possible latest product I buy from them due to this).
b.- GEDify my xoom (flash the US-Wifi image, updating up to 4.1.1). The problem is that I loose the warranty and that the US ROM does not include es_ES (Spanish from Spain, not from US/MX) language and keyboard support.
c.- Put Wingray / EOS Team nightly ROM. Yes, I loose the warranty also but seems to work nicely (I have a rooted + CWM + cyanogenmod9 galaxy2 phone and I'm quite happy with it).
What do you think it's the best option?
I was about to go with c). and wanted to make some questions in the XOOM/EOS TEAM thread but as I'm a new user, the website does not allow to post there and asks me to put this question in this General forum... so:
ABOUT THE ROM ITSELF:
- Will EOS TEAM ROM allow me to select es_ES (Spanish/Spain) as the system language?
- Will EOS TEAM ROM allow me to select es_ES (Spanish/Spain) as the keyboard layout?
- Will the SPANISH Play Store (market) work?
- Do you recommend using the latest nightly (v127) or the previous one (v126?).
- Will the SD card work as RW in EOS TEAM ROM instead of "RO" like in the official rom?
- Is EOS TEAM ROM rooted by default or I must follow another extra procedure?
- Is the XOOM compatible with CWM (I have it in my phone and I'd like to put it in the xoom to be able to do nandroid backups, recoveries, etc)?
Thanks.

If ICS is getting officially released in your country now, you may end up waiting for one more year to get jellybean ota... definitely you are missing the flavor of jellybean... which option to go to is your call, but I would go for eos ROM for sure. I had one Xoom that was damaged with ICS eos. Then I bought another, the next hour , I was on ICS eos, rooted. I don't care about warranty because I know what to do with Xoom and I know xda is here for free help...
To answer your questions,
Spanish language is supported..
The ROM is is per rooted already... you just need to unlock your boot loader and flash a recovery image, then the ROM ...
With eos ROM, sdcard external is rw ... and always go for the latest as team eos release updates every little while adding features you will never ever see on the stock, and solid as rock...
Anyway, that is what I will do if I were in your place, but it is your call at the end of the day...

Thanks a lot for answering. This answer and the other you gave me in the Q&A Forum have been very very helpful.
I'm really sure that I'm going to flash EOS ROM, I'm downloading the android sdk right now (via tethering from a mobile AP, very slow)...
If you don't mind, I'll ask my final doubts in the other thread, so that people can have a "full guide" there.
Thanks.

[INFO] Centralize Galaxy Tab P1000L/P1000N Development

Hi fellows,
For sure, more than 95% of ROM development at XDA is devoted to P1000 version (Euro/USA/... Galaxy Tab version). Unfortunately (or not...), Samsung released at Latin America two different versions of GT: P1000L and P1000N. My researches shown that theses version has different hardware from P1000 one, and the most important, IMO, is the touchscreen. Conclusion: when we try to use custom ROMs, we aren't able to even use it.
So, I have started this thread to centralize information regarding P1000L/P1000N. Please, if you have these devices and have already tried to use a custom ROM or Kernel, please post the information here. With this, we can verify what modifications we need to make to adapt XDA custom ROMs/Kernels to our GTs.
We have the following topics here on XDA about our devices:
Humberto's ROM and Kernel (Froyo)
Humberto have compiled a Froyo Kernel and ROM with many improvements
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974408
Humberto's Kernel (Gingerbread)
Humberto have modified the original, leaked P1000N gingerbread kernel to add Lagfix and gave us instructions how P1000L users can flash P1000N gingerbread version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124224
My Gingerbread kernel
I have compiled a P1000L/N kernel for gingerbread after the source code release, adding many things like UV, OC, new governors, etc. To avoid mess with Humberto's thread, I decided to start a new one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274855
With the right kernels now, we can flash customs ROM like:
BOCA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172307
Overcome
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205990
CM7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931857
OBS.: Always refer to P1000L/N Gingerbread thread from Humberto to verify which kernel you need to flash to use one of these ROMs!
Thanks!
I can provide the PDA, Modem and CSC Multi files to be flashed in Odin for P1000N from Claro provider if they're needed at all, only downside is that they're JJ1 not the JJ5 which they're currently shipping Tabs with. Honestly I don't see any difference between the versions, but there should be some.
Well, apparently we got a new kernel for GT-P1000L deceives that camera and TV tuner is fully working and has interesting capabilities, like 1.4GHz overclocking! Thanks to @humberos. More info on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974408
Additionally, my Vivo GT has received an update through Kies and now my ROM version is P1000LVJJMA, which I don't know yet if this kernel is compatible. I have contact @humberos and we will try to find out.

Currently http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124224 is a Gingerbread Kernel that can run a version of CM7.
I can not attest to validity of the ROM, as I don't have a latin version, but yeah... There it is.

Are you on stock rom ? I upgraded my p1000n to gingerbread overcome and feel that the battery last less than with froyo.

I see a lot of P1000CWLZTO being offered in online shops in Brazil.
Would that be a third version: "P1000C"?
What are the differences between the L, N and C versions?
I do like to have the digital TV. Actually, is it just 1seg? Does it show 16:9 broadcasts correctly (soccer!)?
Thanks!
Hi! I just got a gt-P1000n unlocked tablet from Chile. I leave in Canada.
Froyo 2.2, baseband P1000NUBJM2.
This is my first expeeience with android, i come from wm.
I've got a lot to learn.
After many unsuccessful attempts with z4root, i did root my tab with oneclickroot.
I have read these latin tabs are different than others. How?
Lesser quality?
I can't find any specs comparaison on the web.
Thanks

Not at all... just a little different in hardware. I had that firmware on my P1000N. Maybe if you check on the small print on the back of your tab, you should see P1000N... let us know.
Basically we have a few different Tab hardwares. The P1000, Euro US and etc, both GSM and CDMA versions. Latin versions P1000L / N (and maybe C as commented above). P1000L and N are the same, except P1000N does NOT have TV, P1000L has TV, 1seg like in Brazil. There is also another different hardware, the Tab with wifi only (no SIM chip).
Since P1000 is the most commonly used one, there is a lot more development going on for it... but luckyly we have HumberOS for the salvation of our latin version tabs. Just Google "xda humberos" to find his posts.
Cheers.
Yes i have the 1000N.
I read here it is difficult to flash an gingerbread orovercome rom!?!?
Only Hubertos roms are working, isn't it?
Thanks

You can flash Gingerbread from Samsung. If you want to flash anything customized, like Overcome rom, you need to do it through humberos kernel, made for our latin tabs.

If i flash Gbread from Samsung update will i lose root?
If so, can it easely be rooted again?
Is overcome stable and a real improvement over gingerbread?
Thanks for your time

Yes, you loose root. Then you can just flash humberos' cf-root or voodoo lagfix kernel to get root back. Overcome is very good and stable. Just remember to replace the zImage file inside Overcome's zip file with HumberOS' kernel voodoo lagfix.

Ok, i am tempted to try Overcome.
Do you suggest me to read anything else than [Jun27][GSM][Kernel][Gingerbread][P1000L/N]?

That's it. Read the last page of the thread. rlkalves just flashed Gingerbread.
Always use original USB cable from Samsung for flashing. Don't use USB HUBs. Make sure you have a good tight USB port, make sure your Windows and USB Drivers are all 100% and close all software to run ODIN or Heimdall ALONE.
i got a p1000n from comcel (colombian provider) and i flashed overcome, and is pretty awesome, maybe if you want i can make you a guide

Thanks alroger for all help provided.
I did install Overcome Hermes but overlooked the fact that there is still not usb connection to pc. Al sd cards and browse.though from kies i am able to get into internal and external
What is the procedure to go to another gb rom like Jupiter?
Is it a matter of repackaging the Jupiter's zip with latest zImage from first post and install via sd card with Recovery Cwm mode?
Restart from begining with stock Froyo?
Wait for Humberto to work on it?
For CM7?
From hermes do i directly
Download CM7 Beta
Uncompress .zip file and replace zImage.
Use Heimdall to flash it.

[Q] Stuck with HC 3.2 despite ICS avalible

Hello
I was using Revolver ICS beta. Wanted get back to the stock rom since it is avalible already. Installed Strock 3.2 first - my build is now WW_eepad-8.6.5.13-20110925
Device won't update to ICS - keeps saying that there is no update avalible despite the ICS is already hosted on asus.com
What should I do?
just wait

Just wait. It will show up eventually. In the mean time, don't worry about. Many users are reporting problems with ICS, while many others report it works fine. Maybe by the time you see the update, more fixes will be in place in the firmware.
The problem is only a small % provide details as to their TF-101 version and how they installed, so most of the threads commenting on non-functionality are more rants than threads that can help draw an assessment as to why some ICS updates work and some do not.
The ICS update has thus far worked for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23625633&postcount=124 on my B70 TF101 with the IML74K.us_epad-9.2.1.17-20120312 update (pushed as a firmware update , where my TF-101 was purchased in the USA, but it is being used in Germany).
Download the official ICS from the asus website and put it on your sdcard then reboot you sould get a notification that it has been downloaded tap that and hit install and it should work
Downloaded ICS from asus website, put it on MICRO SD, restarted - no prompt. So I unpackerd the rar from the website and repeat - no prompt aswell
Most likely bc you have a custom recovery since you flashed Revolver. Go the Epic Noob Guide by Luna_666 and there is a link to the Unlockr where your can get the stock recovery.
Edit::I found it and linked them both for you.
Woodrube you were right - thanks

CM9

I am not allowed to post in the development subforum yet, because I have too few posts so far, therefore this ends up here.
I have come upon the same error as obscure.detour, I can not install several common apps, due to them not being 'compatible with this version'.
This occurs since Alpha 7, never before that.
I own the US version of the TPT.
why not post directlty in the ICS CM9 thread ??
And what is the purpose of this thread ?
obscure.detour, As the fella stated in the OP, he has too few posts yet to be able to post in the dev forum.
I dont know the issue with the apps. Maybe a data wipe and restore with Titanium may help.
i had to resort to using a modified play store, after i did it fixed the compatibility issue for almost all apps.. not a perfect solution but a work around for now. take the vending.apk out of the zip and put it in your /system/apps folder and reboot, may have to clear data for the app too dont remember if i did or not.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548459
A hacked market is included in the rom but for some reason it doesn't work always. I'm working on another solution right now. Until its finished you could try the market xrscyr mentioned (its a different version as the one included in the rom)
Original ICS is not so far away.
Hope it'll be released in Mey. Then I get a lot of work because ICS for my Galaxy Note should also come out.
So im looking forward for working camera and GPS mods on K1 then. Meanwhile i could live with rooted Android 3.2.1.
Sad to say, that might not happen:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/IdeaPad-Slate-Tablets/Ice-Cream-Sandwich-for-Ideapad-K1/td-p/638437
Still maybe some good news though. People are saying the K1 hardware is being repackaged for sale as the Medion Lifetab P9516, and Medion is marketing it as ICS compatible. If true and Medion releases ICS, their ICS build could maybe be independently ported over for the K1, since the hardware would be the same if the rumor is true.

[Q] Help about Updating A500

Hi
First thing i shall notice is that I may have english grammer mistakes because i'm from a non-english speaking country!!
then my questions,
q1 - I want to update my a500 to the latest official update. what is the latset official rom for a500? is there any news from 4.1 on it?!
q2 - I looked up threads about acer official roms in XDA. but i couldn't find the rom that fit my tab's build number! mine is "Acer_A500_4.010.43_COM_GEN1"
q3 - I have never tested a custom rom! (u may laugh to me!) because i'm afraid of their performance & stability. can you help me to choose the best and the most complete 4.1 (Jellybean) rom for a500? the one supports WIFI - USB - Audio - Camera and etc... (less diffrence with official rom on devices such as nexus 10)
Please note that i have never tried a custom rom and i don't know how to install & use. I haven't worked with Recover, bootloader, data wipe and etc. so please help me!
thanks very much for your assisstance.

[SM-T800] Stock NH1 Base (De-Odexed, De-Knoxed) [10/5]

Hey All,
I'm pretty new to XDA, but I wanted to share some stuff I'm working on. I noticed that the SM-T800 (10.5" Wifi) was missing some more recent updates, so I decided to give it a spin creating a base stock ROM using the T800XXU1ANH1 update released in September.
What I did:
Based on Stock TouchWiz build T800XXU1ANH1 (Italy release)
Rooted
De-Odexed
De-Knoxed
Zip-Aligned
Init.d Support
Some disclaimers:
This is my first ROM.
I cannot guarantee you this will not destroy your device
Flash at your own risk!
If you like this ROM, or if you want to use it as a base for your own project, feel free! I don't expect anything in return. I really just hacked this together using JustArchi's excellent ArchiKithen (thanks Archi!)
Again, this is my first project, so feedback is welcome. I would have posted this in the Android Development forum, but I don't have access
Cheers!

Hi there, flashed the ROM, it's running quite well. Noticed the following:
1- ROM appears to hot have the sdcard fix (unable to write to sdcard)
Other than this, running well. Would you be adding the multi boot menu ?
Also, what has been updated from the ANY version to this one?
continued development?
Hi there
Just wondering if you were still developing for this ROM,.
Will you be releasing an update based on the newest ANI1 update?
Can't connect to my 5g wifi router for some reason?

Same thing here, I can connect to my 2ghz, but not 5ghz.
I flashed the stock ROM and I can connect to both 2 & 5ghz, so it appears there may be an issue with this ROM.
Hopefully swaj will release a ROM update from the ANH1 to the ANI1 update with the 5ghz fix
NI1 is just for csc. Newest usable pda is still NH1 (chinese NI1 pda is not very usable as swaj found out). It would be nice to see someone release NH1 to T805. I don't want to flash with odin and then re-root and install twrp again and don't know how to make flashable zip roms.

i'm checking out this rom, i'll give feedback

are you able to odexed this rom and remove bloats?
