Hey all, I'm running the Team EOS nightly and was wondering if there is any advantage to restoring to stock honeycomb for the official ICS update?
Should I just wait until a rooted ICS version based on the official is released?
It was released already, it's at the top of the development forum...flash with CWM, it's already rooted. From what I understand, it's probably faster for 3D gaming...could be wrong though.
Are there any issues with the official ics? I would do a search but it seems the search function is missing for some strange reason.

I can't think of a single one. I just flashed nightly 26 from 23, booting it now. Loving the EOS builds!
For a while none of the gameloft games were working on EOS.
Could have been fixed by now.

It is, I've got Uno and MC3 on mine and they are working fine.
I decided to load up the official rooted release and so far it's pretty much the same as Team EOS's build. Team EOS does seem to be a bit snappier, and I do miss the reboot options on Team EOS build. The only improvement I see with the official is the camera, that seems to be snappier and more responsive on the official.
Only issue existing on both version is the Revision3 app that just won't load.

I've been running rooted ICS stock for several days now ... installed the leaked RC, then rooted.
Your question about EOS vs. stock gets the standard answer from me - are you happy with EOS and want more features in the future? If so, then stay with EOS.
For me, I'll stay with stock rooted - I just want a tablet that works and not interested in tweaks. I'll spend my tweaking time on my Photon.
There is no objectively right or wrong answer to your question, and nobody else can answer it for you. Enjoy!
Good thread. I was curious as well because knowing verizon (any carrier really) i doubt I'll see ICS anytime jan or feb and i konda want it now...
Pronlem is i dkdnt really want to root my xoom, but i guess ill have to now.
Ill wait until monday maybe

Actually you don't have to root your Xoom if you just want ICS. I believe there is a stock ICS rom out there too. You will have to unlock the bootloader though.
From my perspective if you are running a rooted stock version of ICS there is virtually not a single reason. Stock isn't overclocked, a lot of enhancements are missing etc. But if you run a completely stock ICS with no root there are some advantages. For example, if you run a non-rooted stock you can rent videos from Google. I can't really think of anything else haha. Go EOS, their ROM is sick.

What benefit does the eos have? No need for OC for me. I actually use the xoom alot during the day and will only jse up mlre battery.
I don't rent videos either so i don't care about that

There are a ton of advantages to EOS ROM over Stock. The major one is the micro SD card is read/writable, all voice-to-text features are working as is facelock, the micro USB port is actually useful now, the EOS quick settings are very nice and they all work! There are several battery options from EOS settings and you can make the notification pull look any way you like.
Even if you don't use the performance features this ROM is the only way to Xoom. Until CM9 or Rogue get one out for the 4G

Hi guys,
I flashed my Xoom to ICS, and now I have the following configuration:
- I can do adb, adb install
- I can do adb shell as regular user,
- from there, I can do "su" and get access to /data and other root files
- RootChecker tells me I'm not rooted
- no rooted app works (e.g. RootExplorer)
I guess I just need to install SuperUser.apk, sudo and a couple of other things, but I am overwhelmed with information (SuperOneClick, Z4Root etc). Can somebody help me? How can I get rooted apps to work?
Thank you very much
John
Can i ask how where u got the ics files from? Wanna try it out...

What ICS build did you use? I'm not aware of any stable Xoom ICS Rom at this time?
Troll post? I mean, if you're one of those in the know to get an alpha ICS ROM, you'd assume you'd have a dev friend to help you with the quirks of it.
What do you mean, guys? The latest software is available here.
androidadvices.com update-root-motorola-xoom-honeycomb-322-firmware-version [apparently I cannot post links]
Isn't it supposed to be stable? When is a stable version going to be available?
That is definitely not ICS they are talking about in that site. They are talking about Android 3.2.2 which is still Honeycomb. After playing with my Galaxy Nexus all day though, Ice Cream Sandwich can't come out fast enough for the 4G Xoom... it is honestly so much more polished.

Lol, no... we have also ics for zoom, it is in the dev section... works great except a few flaws... and there is no root right now
I had the wingray problem when I tried to update my xoom with ICS. Instead of waiting patiently for a fix, I put the EOS ICS nightly on my xoom. Now that the wingray problem is solved i'd love to put the regular ICS on my xoom. I've read through a lot of threads but am too confused.
Can anyone provide clear instructions on how to restore the regular version of honeycomb needed to upgrade to the ICS??
Thanks in advance for any help.

Why? The Eos wingray nightly at #37 is super stable, complete, higher performance and has more features than the "official update" and with Eos you can preserve your root. To go from a superb working rom to stock unrooted, have to flash using a usb stick and otg cable, then potentially have to root again (if you want to) just to get something less complete and less high performance seems crazy to me. But good luck if you want to.

Go here, signup (free), download and flash MZ604 Build HWI69 for US Retail

Then do OTA's to get to 3.2
Then follow:

Actually you don't need the OTG cable's once you get back to full stock, you can use fast boot to flash cwm recovery. Make a slight modification to the update script (remove the first 2 asserts) and then use cwm to load the OTA. NOT FOR THE INEXPERIENCED! But it can be done, I and othersx have done it.

Again, I ask, Why? Just for a few games that don't run well?
Well, good luck.
Thanks for the replies. The EOS ICS is working pretty good for me. I just wanted to go to the leaked ICS so I can easily update over the air in the future. I'm not into many games so it's not about that.
The EOS is having problems with the GPS and it's driving me crazy.

There's a fix for the google location services that are missing from GApps 10. Check the wingray thread.

As far as i know:
Cornerstone is no app as you understand it. It is something like a "launcher".
The problem is that cornerstone has to be integrated into the os by the manufacturer himself because it has to be integrated deeply into the os.
So you won't see cornerstone on tablets unless a manufacturer decides to implement it.
Or someone takes the AOSP code from google and releases a complete rom. But i think that would be a lot of work. I don't think that someone would do this. It would be awesome to see this im cyanogenmod^^. I mean both are open source now.

I think I saw someone with a Xoom that has it.. (from Reddit). It would be awesome if we got it too.. I need to learn to make roms in my spare time.
it has to be baked into the rom its not a apk u run
I would love to try this too !
The "simple" way would be to get source from a rom, to integrate it and build the rom. But the integration step is unfortunatly not simply I think :/
Integrating difficulties is just one of the problems... for example Cornerstone requires ICS.. which we don't have.

First ICS has to come out. Then we will gather our forces, go on our knees and humbly ask any dev to face the challenge and coock rom with Onskreen integrated. It will not be soon, but someday ... Hope never dies...
Since it's under the ASL, I hope that it's included into the official CM9 for the Transformer. If it is not, I'm sure that there will be unofficial CM9 roms with it. Now, Asus, release the ICS update for the Transformer we need the kernel sources and drivers...

First we need a stable custom rom then we need a normal version and a cornerstone version patience is a virtue

^^ what he said but the expand on that we need a rom that is fully deodexed or one that has a full source code available so that it can be baked in without signature errors + we need a apk dev and a rom dev (Or one that can do both) to put it all together

It means it was "stable for the exact model it was developed for", which, apparently, creates lots of problems to others. I'm not sure what subtle differences there are between TF101 models, but it seem to matter with ROMs. I'm still using 4.0.3 stock (rooted) because no 4.1 ROM will work "well enough", I always have major problems. I guess you're in the same boat I am.
However, I had colleagues that use 4.1 ROMs without any issues whatsoever...

"Stable" enough for most peoples for daily use. It's not the "Final" version so minor bugs are to be expected. Off course each and every tablet is different even if it's the same make and model.
As for trying them all, why not? At least till you find a ROM you like.
This is what "testing" is all about.

With my particular device/usage model, I have to agree. It's easily as stable as the most recent official ICS update, and more robust than anything earlier.

Official ASUS updates have not been stable for me since about January, actually since the 1st ICS update was sent out
After 6 months of waiting for ASUS to send out something that didn't reboot every few minutes and didn't welcome you in the morning to a completely drained dock and tablet battery, I gave up on them and went custom
Since I found Team EOS, my tablet is a pleasure to use and never craps out, ever, I have never seen a RR or SoD since flashing their ROM which is why I continue to recommend it whenever someone is looking for a stable ROM

+1 for team EOS. I stopped using my tablet for a few months because of the RRs and SODs. I flashed Team EOS's JB ROM and suddenly my TF101 is usable again!
Unfortunately, now I want to sell it for either a newer TF model or the Nexus 10

Break out the bubbly, we have successfully been merged in. Congrats, Verygreen, for all your hard work!
woot!
wonder when the first official nightly is ready. anyone has an idea from past experiences, how long it takes them from announcing the device, to first nightly?
The merge is not fully complete yet.
We most likely missed today's nightly window too. Hopefully tomorrow we'll be fully ready.
That is way awesome. CM 10.2 here we come
Thanks for the update. If you don't mind me asking, what's causing the delay?

This is great news. I have a Nook HD and hope this will mean that soon more bluetooth keyboards will work with it! (In particular the Anker Ultra-slim). I was interested in verygreen's own updated CM, but was unclear whether this works on the HD or just the HD+.
Perhaps we will also be able to use some planetarium/star charting apps. Invariably I am told that they are incompatible with my device.

My Anker bluetooth kb K1280C (can't remember what it's called) works fine with CM. Whereas bluetooth keyboards don't seem to work on stock. But, bt mice work on stock, and don't work on CM. Go figure.
This sounds like great news & a testament to verygreen's tireless efforts into transforming this crippled color e-reader into the best deal out there for android tablets. I'm excited about this development but can somebody explain what it means to be CM official as opposed to unofficial? & maybe how things will change? (for the better I'm assuming)
I used to have an official CM8 ROM on my old Nexus S 4G a while back & this unofficial CM rom by verygreen runs so much better & more stable than that one did.

Hi,
I bought a Nook HD+ sometime back and have been reading up a lot about rooting and installing custom ROM' on the forum of late. I had planned to install the currently available custom ROM today, but I bumped across this thread.
Being a newbie, from what I can gather, Cyanogen would officially be supporting Nook HD+ ROM', so we can expect an official release soon. So my question is, if it's better to wait for the official CM release or go ahead and install the currently available unofficial version?
Thanks in advance.

go with unofficial, and just update as they release new builds. It will be quite a while until we will see official RC not to mention stable release...
wow this is awesome news, I made a gamble 2 weeks ago to import the nook HD+ to europe hoping that cyanogenmod would support the HD+ in the coming weeks. Now running verygreen's emmc 10.1
Great Work
This is fantastic news. I join everyone in thanking Verygreen.
I hope an official build means easier modifications when using things like autopatcher to create a tabletui. There hasn't been much of an update in a few weeks in that thread.
Awesome news! Thanks again for all your hard work, Verygreen.
Outstanding! Congrats to all involved.
This is due to verygreens hard work, and is a testament to the quality of his code. It is my understanding he will still be doing all the work for CM, but now it will be "blessed" as an official CM port instead of unofficial. The state of the port will still depend on the (excellent) work that verygreen puts into this rom.
Thanks again verygreen for making my Nook HD+ a decent tablet instead of a marginal one.
