[Q] Root, Clockworkmod & OC Kernel for UK Xoom

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.

Will do mate, Many thanks!

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.)

Host mode is quite useful and it's definitely a lot more stable since updating, in fact I can't remember when it last crashed, but mostly I did it because I could

recommend a rom

after becoming fustrated with the lack of a update for north/latin america, ive decided to flash my phone. Im currently on jh2 and its working really well without problems. Ive download jpm to flash but not sure if it will work as its a european rom and also been hearing recently it has a few bugs like the battery showing an incorrect percentage.
So can any1 tell me if it will work/recommend me one that will.

Well i can tell you one thing - you will be getting lots of advises !
However, first you might try the latest Canadian Firmware which was released last week since that seems to be the closest stock ROM you can get for North America
P.S. - You might check THIS THREAD too...

That jpm bug is real i think

First thanks for responding, Ive seen the canadian rom but it barely been tested. I think only 2 ppl have tried it.

I recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957123 with the latest fugumod

I've installed indroid 4.2 and it's a really nice rom. The only thing until now that's not working is the gps. It takes really long time to get a fix. And when i get a fix, my google navigation crashes. In indroid 3 it was working perfectly.

Thanks for all the responses guys. As this is my first time flashing ill stick with stock. I have the the jpm without bootloader files so ill give it a go.
Btw anyone know if its recommended to remove your sim and sd when flashing or optional.

use stock JPM most of the custom roms are stock modded and nothing special..
Use stock and your own ****ty tweaks which is a lot better !

I recommend cyanogemod....Marcellusbe is working on that. It will be great if he finishes it.

try Destiny Based on JPN, and its fully stable.

I recommand the Kyrillos'ROM 5.5
It's the more stable and battery saver rom i've ever tried !
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957123
And yes, cyangenmod when it's finished, big thanks to marcellusbe
sorry for my english.

Even the indroid developers respond very quick and to the point. Rudolf is awesome. @everyone: go for indroid 4.3

Hi
My preference is:
Kyrillos 5.7 JPM-based with Fugumod 2.2 Bleeding Edge kernel OC 1300mHz
Most stable ROM I've used, quick responses and no FC so far (only been using again for 8 days but hey all the others I tried would FC a few times a day). I love it!
Switched to Indroid for a while and it is good but went back to Kyrillos as I prefer it.

Ive finally flashed (jpm). I just couldnt wait anymore. Everthing seems to be working good thus far, Thanks for all the help.

for american roms try stock DTLKDA or rafo's ROM those are the only ones I know for america I am currently on Rafo's Rom and its very stable btw I am new to this forum

I would recommend using team lambent kitchen and creating your own personal rom. I'm using jpq with g3 v1.32 lite for extra stability. G3 has a ram script built into it already so just remember not to install the ram hack performance mod.

Get jpm and customize it according to your needs...
No fc's at all.....most stable

[Q] Bluetooth Streaming with Cyanogenmod 10.1 - short breaks

Hi guys,
I use Cyanogenmod 10.1 shortly after I bought my Nexus 10 and had these reboots the whole time.
Usually I update once or twice a week to the current nightlys (depending on the changelog).
A problem I have from the beginning (with CM): When I stream music with Google Music to a Logitech Bluetooth receiver it works. But every 20-30 seconds I have a litte break in the playback. On my Galaxy S2 also with CM 10.1 I never had this problem.
What I did to solve the problem. Today I installed the stock Nexus 10 4.2.2 from Google and tried to reproduce the error. It worked fine. No problem at all.
Then I completely wiped the Nexus 10 again and installed the current nightly - from the scratch. Just installed Google Music and did a test. The same bluetooth problem again.
Ah and when I use a bluetooth keyboard the keyboard also loses connection time and again. Here the problem is even worse. When I´m are in web form the page gets reloaded and all I entered so far is gone...
Has anybody an idea?
I´m willing to give you all the information you need to help me (logcats etc.)
Thanks in advance
Marrtin

Have you tried using the stock kernel with CM10?

Hi and thanks for you answer.
Good idea. But I have no clue how to do that? And isnt´t the kernel always overwritten when I install a nightly of CM10.1?

I actually don't know off-hand, but it probably is, if its like other ROM's.

Hmm - and where can I get the stock kernel from? Off course I found the whole stock firmware. But just the kernel out of it? And does this work together with CM?

Please make a bug report @ jira.CyanogenMod.org

I don't think you can pull just the kernel out of it... I use KTManta myself.

You can. :good:
If you download and unzip the official rom package from google, you will find another zip inside. Extract that, and you will see a different rom for each partition of your nexus 10. boot.img is the kernel, and it can be flashed from fastboot using command "fastboot flash boot boot.img".
Thanks,
EDIT: If the KTManta kernel doesn't suffer bluetooth streaming issues for anyone else, flashing it instead of stock should serve as an equally good test. The original reason I mentioned flashing the stock kernel is because I too have seen bluetooth streaming issues, both with CM10 and when using the stock rom with franko r12 kernel. I'm now running completely stock rom and kernel, and have no issues.

If I switch back to CM, I'l be sure to test it. I'm currently in the process of deciding just how much I love "CRT Off", which I don't know if CM has added yet

Is there a solution for this stuttering problem? I have tried many roms and kernels, but bluetooth stutters when wifi is on.

Kernels

Are there any kernels that work with this? I recall people mentioning them, but there aren't any threads for abg.

yeah, there are. I need to do some research and see if we can add them to the "all-in-one" thread...

I've been hoping there were more kernels available other than aaarrrgghhh. I saw a thread about Code kernel but the site that hosted the download is down. Could anyone point out or mention any of the custom kernels so we can at least search for them? Thanks!

as of now, I could only find the stock and aarrrrgh's kernel. bytecode is for AOSP ROMs only (4.2.2 and above).
not really sure why you would need another kernel, stock and aarrrgh's reportedly qork quite well.

only reason i want a different kernel is for graphical performance. i know overclocking really has no effect on this with our device (or at least very little) but lately ive been having issues with games running poorly and stuttering. ive only noticed these after installing Rootbox and then not liking it so flashed back to stock then back to Eclipse.
i know someone is going to say that any changes made when installing a rom will be overwritten when you flash to another, and even better back to stock, but since having flashed Rootbox just once my phone has been freaking out and i have wiped wiped wiped wiped wiped wiped and returned to stock idk how many times and its still not right. nobody seems to have any answer or even a response to this issue.
im not blaming Rootbox, but it is pretty coincidental that these issues have sprung up and originated only after i used it.
sorry to thread-jack. anyway, would bytecode work on Eclipse? or is that just CM10.1?

[Q] Suggestion on which ROM to use.

Hi guys.
I'm in a great dilemma right now.
I like TW but almost all custom kernels are giving me reboots every now and then. :/
Right now I'm using Adam Kernel which doesn't reboot on me, but I need more, like voltage control etc.
So I'm considering either using an AOSP or Google Edition ROM.
Because there are TONS of ROM's out there I'll need your help.
I'm looking for a ROM which:
A) Is completely stable and has little to no bugs.
B) Is not lagging on games, because I game a lot on my S4.
If I'm gonna use a custom kernel I'll definitely need another ROM.
Also I don't care if it's 4.2.2 or 4.3, as long as it's stable and get the job done right.
Anyway, can you suggest some ROM's based on my needs?
Thanks!

Anyone?
Come on, just post the name of the ROM if you're bored!

Best Kernel/Rom threads are forbidden on XDA , this will get closed soon.
And if you can't handle any kernel without reboots except for Adam Kernel (which is pretty much stock) then that tells me your cpu cant handle undervolting mate

Omega if you want a stable TW experience with some customization, MIUI if you want a completly new and awesome experience but can tolerate some issues popping up.
I run MIUI atm

First of all, this isn't a "best rom" thread, this is a thread for suggesting a good rom based on my needs.
Also I've had reboots without undervolting so your argument is a bit invalid I'm afraid.
Anyway, If you're not going to help I'd suggest you stop spamming the thread because I'm aware of the xda rules.
Thanks.

Echoe or WanamLite.

Have tried a quite a few roms atm using echo rom and ausdim v11 kernal. Stable fast and great battery life. GE roms are great. I recommend reading through the threads and choosing the first thing that grabs your eye. Enjoy
