Does anybody know if 4.2 roms will be worked on for this or is pretty much dead with development for this device?

Are you asking if from Samsung or XDA? As far as on XDA; 4.2 has barely finish merging for CM in the last few days. I am sure we'll see it when it starts coming out for other devices. We'll definitely not see it from Samsung.
We have great developers who will work on this.

No no I didn't mean from Samsung. Lol I wouldnt expect much from Samsung any more. Upgrading to 4.2 would be too generous on their part to do for us. I did mean from xda developers. I guess I am just impatient because I thought something would have popped up now from someone even if it was just an aosp based rom.
I guess I will just wait a bit longer and hope something pops up sooner rather than later.

Samsung has already said that they would not be releasing Jelly Bean at all for the 1st generation Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7xxx. There are already couple of Jelly Bean 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 unofficial builds out. For example, Pershoot has a CM10 and Triptosyll has published an AOKP build.
4.2 AOSP has a bunch of quirks and bugs that are just now getting ironed out, I also have a Galaxy Nexus and 4.2 has been a bit of a rough road. Triptosyll mentioned in his thread that he wouldn't be working on 4.2 until AOSP has stabilized.
From a user perspective there isn't that much different between 4.1 and 4.2, the biggest changes are framework support for the multiuser feature. Since our Galaxy Tabs have only 1GB RAM, don't expect that feature to work well at all in 4.2 anyway. The other big feature is the 2 finger swipe for quick settings and toggles. However, coming from CM10 or AOKP, you already have better toggles available in the base notification shade. So don't get too impatient for 4.2. 4.1 has most of the goodies already.

I just installed that one, works well, haven't tested the microphone yet. You guys should give it a try
Ok I finally tried a 4.2.1 build, the one form DDyno. This is the best this tab has performed. Its not as smooth yet as my galaxy nexus, I expected something comparable but I still have faith.
Everything works except for the new "voice search" from google. Video playback is awesome, and the stock android browser just flies. This is how this tab should have worked in the first place.

I got it a few days ago.
Although it looks and runs smooth I have an issue where I cannot add any data to the device.
Can't browse the device in windows explorer, download, update, take pictures, receive files through BT, etc.
Very strange, been reading and searching for the last few days but haven't seen anyone else comment the same.
8 more posts and I'll be able to ask for help in the correct thread.
Till then the tab is the most expensive clock I ever bought.

Perhaps you should clarify what you are unable to do on what android version. Are you using a nightly? If yes, then you need to enable USB computer connection using Settings > Storage > USB Computer connection (using icon on upper right corner) > Connect as Media device (MTP).

I already did that.
But since you asked for it:
Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 - GT-P7510 16GB
CWM Recovery v5.8.3.1 (not able to install higher version)
Previos ROM version: "boot-cm_2636.4_ux-oc-xtra-vfpv3-d16_fp-102411.zip"
Installed ROM version: "cm-10.1-20130109-NIGHTLY-p4wifi.zip"
Trough some other website I got some instuctions on installing the latest nightly.
But either the instructions weren't very clear or I skipped a few steps. (probably the later)
I did however take the roms from Cyano website. The wikipage did not have installation instructions yet.
Should have come here in the first place.......
Anyway,
After updating CWM from 4.0.0.4 to 5.8.3.1 installation went smooth. (install file was named "cwm6010touch_INSTALL.zip" but no touch and no 6.0.1.0. Text color changed to babyblue and menu is slightly different from the previous version)
Wiped data/factory reset,wiped cache partition, wiped dalvik cache.
installed from zip file "cm-10.1-20130109-NIGHTLY-p4wifi.zip"
Reboot and everything looks good. WiFi, bluetooth, etc all seem to work.
However....
1-
I can access the tab through my computer. shows up as "Galaxy tab 10.1" somethimes as "gt-p7510"
IIn Windows explorer I see "internal storage" but can not browse this storage.
2-
I can not download anything. It force closes the browser.
3-
Bluetooth:
Pc and tablet pair nicely but sending files to the tab is not possible. "Storage issue"
4- I cannot download new/old nightly files.
5-
At first startup it did not ask for my google account. The one you need to access the market. Did not see/find the option under settings.
Have to log in through browser to download from the market. Which doesn't work because the operating system is convinced that there is no fre space resulting in a force closuse of the browser.
So in short, it seems I cannot add any files to the device. (5.3 Gb free)
Is there a workaround for this?
I do have access to the folder data/media/0/0/0/0/0/0 with my old files including the above mentioned droid installation roms, "cwm6010touch_INSTALL.zip" and "US_LPL_4.0.4_bootloader.zip"
No Logcat sorry.
Any help on how to reverd back to my previous ROM or to get this one working would be highly appreciated.
Old ROM is prefered. Since I got whatsapp working on it.
Did you flash the recommended gapps package (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?o6e8kowyuc59zjc) after installing the ROM? This I would say are at the heart of your issues? However, if you are still having issues it might be worth following the instructions in this thread CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightly Discussions. At worst, you might have to Odin back to stock ICS using this thread. Hope that helps!!

Now could be the problem.
I didn't since I read somewhere that it was optional.......
I am however now running correct CWM version 6.0.2.7 (recovery.tar.md5 file)
Tried reinstalling the rest but no improvement.
Is it possible to get this Gapps package on the tab via Odin?
Odin seems the only way to get anything done at the moment.
Thanx for the help. Feeling I'm getting closer to a solution.

Don't think there is. I think your best option is to flash a stock ICS ROM and start over. On the plus side, it should already have the ICS bootloader and recovery that you flashed. Follow the steps in nightly threads once you are back to stock.

Thanxs for the tip regarding flashing back to stock ROM!
I was so busy reading/searsching several threads about the problem that I never thought about starting from scratch.
But....
After having gone to stock ROM I tried again a few times.
Followed the instructions from the nightly thread.
Same issue,
Since I have to work again next week and don't have time to struggle with it I've decided to go back to Task650's V14 for now.
I'll wait a bit more for the "official" release and give it a try again.
Thanks again for the help!
You may want to try this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098429
It's a CM10.1 based ROM with a few customizations. I've changed to it from Task's and I don't have any regrets.

Hello people,
I was looking through the nightly builds on download.cyanogenmod.com
I saw a fresh build for TF101 dated for 2/27.
Check it out. I will flash it and see how it is.
Someone also needs to create an Official CM9 Nightly page in Dev section.
So who wants to be the Guinea pig? I'm already running that KANG that was posted up earlier this weekend. I may try it after I charge up.
yea...guinea pig here....goes through boot animation and then system ui and trebuchet (the launcher) fc...i would say stay away until some official announcement is made
Yeah. It doesn't even boot up probably. :-(... going back to stock

You have to start somewhere.
Now at least we have an official CM9 branch, which means someone is working on it

I'm surprised that this news seems to be not generating much buzz here. Not knocking any of the other devs, because most of them do amazing work, but CM is the bee's knees. When those nightlies get semi-mature, I'll be running them and never look back. They've never done me wrong before. Any device I've ever had that was supported, was the best ROM available for my needs. YMMV, of course.
I think when its own thread is created youll see the buzz, cm rocks lol

Yep, same here, even with wipe dalvik and fix permissions, FC´s :S
Let us wait for a new update....
Alas, I ran across this on get.cm also. Got excited and then had the FC issues like everyone else. At least it is a step in the right direction.
Don´t know if its related,
lost my wifi hability after trying this, anyone else?

Was just about to try flashing it until I saw how many people were unsuccessful. Oh well, guess I'll wait until an official release.

Not sure if it's related or not but my wifi on a Kanged version of CM9 is acting weird, disconnecting and saying out of range.
I tried this one first but it could just be the ROM I'm on.

i would like to see MIUI V4 on tab, as it will be easier to port than 2.x was ^_^
New official CM9 nightly on get.cm. It boots!!! Gonna test it and report back in a bit.
EDIT1: Wifi works and was able to log into my Google account. Currently restoring my Titanium Backup and will test a bit more after that. Also, camera makes the tablet reboot on first launch, but works after that. Odd. More info to come.
EDIT2: Face unlock is there, but doesn't recognize my face, so I can't test it out. It couldn't recognize my face on my Nexus S 4G either. Maybe my face is just derped up. Anyway, there is nothing that I could tell that is broken. Even the MicroSD mounted with no issue. I don't have a keyboard dock to test it out, otherwise I would. Games and videos both work fine.
Just picked up a new galaxy tablet 7.0 (8GB) about a week ago. Great device so far and love it. I just can't stand the preloaded bloatware on the device and the space its taking up. It's currently running version 4.0.4
I've read up a bit up on ROMS and rooting the device. Seem pretty comfortable with it just have a few questions.
1) Do I need an SD card in the device in order to root it?
2) Best rom out there? Appears like the most talked about rom is the Cyanogen Mod 10?
No you don't need an SD Card but you may as well get one as you will need it once you start making nandroid back ups. Your tab fill up quickly ! Not to mention media and apps on top of that as well. Bigger the better to be honest.
No such thing as the best ROM, Once you are rooted try them all out and find one that suits your needs. I love AOKP M1( link in my sig) as you can customize it more than CM10 and has better features IMO.
If you dont want to customize it , try a deodexed stock based ROM with all the bloat removed, ROMSWELL makes some cool ROMS. Search the DEV section of this forum.
As i said its a personal choice , so flash them and try them out. Wont cost you anything apart from some time..... If you need help just ask and someone will give you some advice. Don't forget to flash some GApps ( Goggle Applications) as they are not normally included in a ROM due to copyright issues.
Most of all have fun. :laugh:
Oh id go for a JellyBean based ROM , nothing wrong with ICS , just the latest version out (4.2 is around the corner as well with some cool new stuff )

Thanks for the info! So the 4.0.4 is not jelly bean but its ICS?
How can I not download Jelly bean.. when I try to do an update it says its the most recent one..
I did see that some ROMS allow you to OC the device, so squeezing that extra little juice out of it I wouldn't mind either
Yeah you're trying to update "stock" and its not been released as yet to the general public.....So flash a custom ROM (once you have root)
Once you root , forget about Samsung updates as they wont work any more, But the XDA community devs do that for us much quicker than Samsung does !
Heres a rough guide from Codeworkx (CM10)
First time installing CyanogenMod 10 to your Galaxy Tab 2, or coming from another ROM:
- Make sure you're running a proper working ClockworkMod-Recovery
- Copy GApps and CM10 ZIPs to your internal SDCard ( or the external SD Card )
- Boot into Recovery
- Flash CM10 zip from internal SDCard
- Flash GApps zip from internal SDCard
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET
- Reboot

The ROM you are running is Ice Cream Sandwich, comes as a "stock" standard on our tabs, CM10 and AOKP are both JellyBean, Some other customs ROMs are as well. Both are under/over-clockable and both can use custom kernels as well. Both VERY stable and have very good support threads by the devs that compiled them.

Thanks for your help! Great info there. Are any of these ROMS more complex than the other? I just don't want to get into it too deep or too complex and having more of a issue getting things up and running properly or are these all the same complexity when installed? ie.. customization etc..
Aokp is very similar to CM based ROMs. They are as easy to set up as a stock ROM, only they allow for more tweaks than a factory ROM. The only thing that you have a to do with a custom rom is flash gapps(Google apps) usually in the rom thread. Read, reread, and grow a pair. The fear will turn into a high that draws you in. There is a reason that the term crack-flashing was born. It is very simple to do it on this tablet. If you have any trouble pm me, or post here, and I will walk you through it. I just did it a couple of days ago for my daughters. Good luck

At first try stable roms like AOKP JB milesone 1
As JeramyEggs said , just jump in and get wet ! They are all pretty much the same , I just prefer AOKP as I can customize it a little bit more than the others. I really dont like the way CM10 handles the navigation bar , where as AOKP lets you do as you wish to it. And I like the toggles it uses as well.
Dump stock what ever you do, Dont get me wrong I love the Samsung stock ROMs as they look stunning and the widgets are top class.The music/video players are quality. You will also gain some space on your tab as well. Stock ROMs are around 750MB and custom ROMs are normally under 200MB
Stock has no theme engine as such , that means if you want to change the way it looks ( other than wallpapers) you will have to start decompiling some system .apks ( Applications ) and it gets a tad tricky messing with .xmls.and getting it all working again.
With the theme engine in place you have 100s of themes to choose from ( over 500 in fact) and plenty of mods you can flash as well, You can even edit themes either online or on your PC with some XDA made applciations ( I use "tickle my android" personally to make themes / Edit apks like widgets n stuff )
CM10/AOKP are always being updated ( But AOKP has stopped development for the moment as I mentioned above , until 4,2 is ported) CM10 has a preview build out already.Both ROMs have a ROM control option to pimp your device up as well.
If you look through this thread , you can see most of the main ROMs and what we all do with them. :laugh:
I tend to flash most of the new ROMs just to try them out. When I'm done messing around with it all I do is boot into recovery and restore my nandroid back up and I'm back to the way I was .Its kinda like system restore on a Windows PC.
Get stuck on anything , just ask as most of the forum members are all pretty cool and more than willing to help out.
My advice is......GO FOR IT !!11!!!1 What you got to lose ?

Reading some of this stuff I am overwhelmed. So in order to backup the device up I need to root it first?
I will start with the HOW TO ROOT YOUR TAB thing now and see how far I get..
So I started last night and let's say didn't get very far. Downloaded the neccessary files but for some stupid reason the Kies software (needed to install this to get the drivers installed for the tablet so I can transfer the contents to it) was not installing.
I left my laptop on during the night and it never finished installing the software. I obtained it right from the Samsung Support website.
Any idea what could be causing this?
Also, once I do get this software installed so that the device shows up under Windows Explorer so I can drag the neccessary .zip files to it. Is there a specific location on the device I should place the files on? I do not currently have a SD card in the tablet.
Oh and my device model is a GT-P3113
So I managed to install Kies.. Guess it was getting hung up on .NET framework 4. So I just downloaded and installed myself and then tried the Kies thing and it went right through the install.
So now I should be good to actually see the device in Windows Explorer once I plug it in.
My question still remains, any particular spot on the device I need to place the .zip files for rooting?

Anywhere you can easily find the tar.md5 file on your windows drive, the*cwm-root-gtab2.zip goes to*/mnt/extSdCard which is the root, don't place in a file. I rooted mine via http://rootzwiki.com/topic/25228-how-to-rooting-gt-p3113-step-by-step-updated-07182012/

Okay.. so /mnt/extSdCard is if you have a SD card in the device.
But I do not have a SDcard, that is why i am actually asking does it matter where I place the files within the tablet internal storage due to not having a micro sd card.

But I do not have a SDcard, that is why i am actually asking does it matter where I place the files within the tablet internal storage due to not having a micro sd card.

Well, do your own research. There is a table of contents in the 7" dev forum, go read the rooting method there and also in the general section. Also, I'm not responsible for what others post and, you can ask the other guy how he rooted his without an sd. I recommend reading about rooting before doing it. I will say this is the easiest device to root.
So I managed to root the device. Was pretty straight forward once I got going. I installed AOKP milestone 1 rom as per someones suggestion here saying it's stable. Overall it does look nicer now and smoother only a couple of questions.
1) I took a backup or the stock stuff before doing anything after performing the root. Now I noticed all the data is gone lol.. Is there anyway to get the data back? Mainly the game progress and all the other stuff?
2) I see AOKP has a theme function under it's settings, currently there is only 1 listed. Where does one obtain themes for it? It's not in the Play Store, is it?
3) Saw the overclocking option also, does that mean the overclock can be pumped up to 1200mhz?
Guess my main question now is whether or not I can get that data back lol..
If you performed a factory reset after flashing your custom ROM, which you should have anyway, I'm sorry to say you have lost your data.

Sure did.. Oh well now I'll know at least and look into the actual backup apps to backup game progress.
The .zip files I put on the table prior to rooting, like fix-recovery, the clockwork mod file as well as the actual ROM, can those be removed off the tablet now?
I played around a bit last night and I found the THEME Choose on the Play Store and I saw themes.

1) which app do you use to back up? some apps only back up apk and some other back up the data too
2) you can find aokp/cm theme on playstore, usualy nice theme will cost more
3) yes you can overclock it via ROM control on setting

So I installed CM 10.1 on my phone and now it says it can't find any contacts on my SIM card. Is this just an issue with CM 10.1, or did installing it delete the contacts?

Apparently it's an issue with jellybean rather then CM0.1; some fixes might be try inserting your sim card into a spare phone that uses a lower version of android (gingerbread/froyo/ics) or a different os and save the contacts there, and send them over text or bluetooth.
So I found another problem with CM 10.1: I can't use my SD card. It gets recognized under Settings -> Storage, but I can't play music from it, and I can't view files in it from the file browser. Is this a known issue (one that other people are experiencing) with the 9/20 build of CM 10.1 for this phone, and if so, is there a later build that fixes it?
It's not a big deal since all of my music is on an iPod I carry with me (usually), and I don't do anything else on my phone that needs more than a few MBs of space, but it's annoying.

I'm on the 09/20 build and SD card works fine. Perhaps you need to format your sd card so that its compatible with android; I believe it should be formatted to FAT32, and try using Root browser (free from play store) and go to extSdCard and the files should be there given that the sd-card is working. There are more builds after 09/20 but since the original dev has not reuploaded them to goo (or goo has deleted them by accident) we're stuck with 09/20 until I can build a version of cm myself (I'm somewhat close to it).
I have a few of these phones and they are great, I cant believe we don't have more devs on these for a clean unbloated rom. Let us know if you come up with something. :_)
Just a quick update; I'm done exams which means I could start my attempts at porting over CM10.2 again. I had some issues applying a patch needed to enable STE Hardware, so I just manualIly downloaded the files to the correct places for the time being (which should get help me get past the build-error I was seeing before). I'm compiling a build now, and hopefully I don't run into any build errors and can test in on my phone.

There is stock firmware, unless you mean an AOSP version? I don't think any of the U8500 based phones have AOSP built, so porting it over would be difficult. There's also CM10.1 available for the phone with working camera (no video camera), issues with audio at times (which requires a reboot). I'm working on CM10.2, but running into some kernel issues, so I yet have to see to how that goes.

I managed to find an odin flashable rom somewhere that includes su so that's what I'm running in the mean time. I tried both the roms in the o.p.
Pac was pretty close to what I like in a rom but it's abandoned so there's no chance of the bugs getting fixed.
This is such a great little phone and now that metro is giving them away for free I assumed xda would be blowing up with development but I guess not...
I'll be checking this thread everyday and I'll test out any thing you come up with. really looking forward to your rom.
I managed to compile CM10.2 and it did indeed boot. I'm not yet releasing it because camera is missing. But other then that everything seems fine, does require more testing, and I've been working non-stop for a couple of hours now (it's 4am here, lol).
Edit:
Changelog:
V.1.0.0
- initial build of CM10.2
- SmartAss v2 governor (should help with battery life) (unjust already had this there, and I could add in other governors in future)
List of Current Bugs:
- missing camera (have an idea on how to fix it )
- random boot logo appears (i believe this was on pac as well, will look into it)
- torch not working (dependent on camera working as well but since camera isn't working, torch isn't working as well)
- sound issues (like CM10.1 most likely)
I'll make a new thread for this rom, once camera is working, and we could start from there. I've yet to test out calling and bluetooth.
Just a reminder; I'm learning how to dev as I'm going so please don't expect nightlies (slow upload rate + lack of free time + lack of knowledge) and fixes to be posted suddenly.
Excellent. and thanks for not adding another half baked ROM to the list.

Thanks to both of you. For the roms and the video walk thru. I haven't tried art on the touchpad because it actually makes my Galaxy Nexus slower most of the time. And with some gapps it's even worse. Since it isn't listed as broken I am assuming you have tried it. If I may ask. What gapps did you use and what was performance like? It prevented my nexus from booting at times. Just wanna stick with what you have tried until I get use to the new data media and such. Thanks again.

Discovered that the TP 4G not compatible with the test 3.X Kernel yet
Hey Flintman just wanted to point out my findings after going crazy over the past couple weeks trying to figure what I was doing wrong when flashing the test Kit Kat ROMs w/3.X kernel.
Previously my TP 4G was working fine on shumash's SCHIZOID 4.2.2 ROM but I was extremely eager to try out the new 3.X kernels. I first tried out your non-data/media Evervolv 4.0.0p1 version and was unable to connect to WiFi despite repeated clean install methods and variations of cache wipes. I know that I had re-sized partitions with Tailor sufficiently for Kit Kat as warned so I then attempted to try out Invisblek's CM11 ROM. Not only was WiFi still not wanting to toggle on, but the rotation sensor was acting oppositely for landscape orientations and I was getting frequent crashing reboots just going through the UI. I then decided to try out JCSullins' updated CM10.1 ROM with his 3.0 kernel and then encountered the same behavior as Invisblek's CM11 ROM, but with even worse random touch driver issues that resulted in erratic automatic screen touches and ultimately soft-reboots.
Restoring a backup to SCHIZOID's 4.2.2 ROM worked fine to restore all functionality, but I couldn't help but think that I was still doing something wrong.
I got a hold of a normal TP (WiFi only model) and tried your latest 1-10-2014 Evervolv 4.0.0p1 ROM and was amazed to see that it was working great including WiFi (although 5GHz APs don't seem to scan as reliably as the past kernel) aside from the known issues. I tried the exact same install process on my TP 4G again just to see if anything changed, but unfortunately WiFi still wouldn't toggle and the orientation sensor behavior exhibited the same opposite landscape behavior as Invisiblek and JCSullins' ROMs.
I had thought that aside from the 3G HSPA modem in the TP 4G model chipset-wise it would be identical to the WiFi-only model so kernel 3.X developments would be complimentary across all TP devices. Unfortunately this doesn't appear to be the case and I hope with time you guys are able to work out any compatibility with the 4G model to benefit from the already terrific development that's going on with the 3.X kernel now.
I admire your guys' skills and look forward to all the improvements in store!
PS: I'd be more than happy to beta test anything you guys feel would address any compatibility issues on the TP 4G!
If we flash your twrp will it remove cwm or add another entry? I've never been able to have two recoveries working. I would much rather not have to use the power button and what not all the time in cwm but want to make sure I'm covered if something goes wrong. Thanks

Due to the limit of the boot directory it will remove all recoveries before installing this one.

So I replaced the ulimage in the boot directory and was able to install the 1/10/14 rom. So I guess I needed to search and just try a little more.
anyway -- I think it's a little slower than the first 4.4 version.... Maybe I need to reboot.... thoughts?

Both using same cpu settings? Although with more things implemented it could seem slower.

Restoring a backup to SCHIZOID's 4.2.2 ROM worked fine to restore all functionality, but I couldn't help but think that I was still doing something wrong.
I got a hold of a normal TP (WiFi only model) and tried your latest 1-10-2014 Evervolv 4.0.0p1 ROM and was amazed to see that it was working great including WiFi (although 5GHz APs don't seem to scan as reliably as the past kernel) aside from the known issues. I tried the exact same install process on my TP 4G again just to see if anything changed, but unfortunately WiFi still wouldn't toggle and the orientation sensor behavior exhibited the same opposite landscape behavior as Invisiblek and JCSullins' ROMs.
I had thought that aside from the 3G HSPA modem in the TP 4G model chipset-wise it would be identical to the WiFi-only model so kernel 3.X developments would be complimentary across all TP devices. Unfortunately this doesn't appear to be the case and I hope with time you guys are able to work out any compatibility with the 4G model to benefit from the already terrific development that's going on with the 3.X kernel now.
I admire your guys' skills and look forward to all the improvements in store!
PS: I'd be more than happy to beta test anything you guys feel would address any compatibility issues on the TP 4G!

Do you think you can get me some dmesg and logcats??
Ok so i have started developing a oreo rom (Android 8.0) for motorola i have made the zip to flash it and will flash and give you guys an update on whats working and whats not and if the zip file works. I started developing about a week ago so nothing will work properly yet.
Update: Forgot to mention its lineage os 15 but I used files from 14.1 I'll be a day or two for a zip file again
Update: Could be months before this comes out cause my computer has 4gb of ram I'm getting a new one soon and putting Ubuntu on to it I know this is frustrating for you but I promise the Xoom will be running Oreo smoothly soon.
Just so you know I'm not making stuff up
I'm sorry for stuffing up I can't send link for prove of video yet
Thank you.
Just read a blog post, https://www.xda-developers.com/android-go-old-android-8-1-oreo/ and came here to ask if anybody is building Oreo ROM for Xoom. It will be awesome to run slimmed down Oreo on Xoom. Its a great device and solid as a rock.
Since I installed Omni Stingray, DS has been using it every day for YouTube.
Thanks again in advance.
With Tegra 2 and 1gb of RAM the Xoom can barely run Lollipop. I don't see it happening for a device this old with so few users.
I am interested in it, but I think it would be very slow as it has only 1GB of RAM.
How about Oreo optimized with Android Go?
I can test it if needed. I have a xoom in a box somewhere. it could be fun
It sounds amazing, it would be exciting to see Oreo on the Xoom tablet.
Android Go might make this plausible; look at the specs of the devices it's been released on.

Any news? I would love to upgrade my Xoom 2 so that it will run Free Flight Pro and other newer programs.
Exciting

Have you made progress? I want to keep using my Wingray/Stingray (s) - thanks.
This would be quite nice. I feel the Xoom quickly outgrew itself. Android was kinda clunky back then: low UI FPS, UI V-SYNC, and lacking overall system hierarchy. It would be refreshing to have a modern firmware build on an older device such as this.
It would really prove the dexterity of the the Android operating system. Not to mention, with the Android Go launcher sitting atop, it might actually be a phesable project for a device with such low hardware specs.
Also, I have mistakenly flashed the stock Honeycomb 3.0.0. Apparently this version of Honeycomb disables access to the MicroSD card reader and thus I cannot flash a ROM onto it from a external media source. I found a method Online for flashing a ROM from the internal NAND. You must use the ADB from a Terminal/Command Prompt to transfer the system image from a PC/Linux Box to the device and then flash it from there.
I do not have a good backup, and the recovery partition is currently blank. So I have been searching for a valid stock ROM of Honeycomb 3.1 with Gapps files included to restore it back to stock but with Root access.
If anyone could assist me that would be great!
what recovery did you use?
Wingray

Was gonna keep surprise but yes I'm working on it i put Oreo on it actually it was very slow so i gave up for a couple of months so yeah that was the delay I'm back into it now though and I'm making the android go version as of right now. I was developing on Wingray so no idea if this will work on Stingray.
GO GO GO waiting for ur rom

Isnt the gapps built in to this rom?
Not sure, I rooted my xoom from day 1 so had to install gapps all the time

I'm using this 7.1.2 from crDroid that works pretty well - can be found on this site - but it is still outdated. Was hoping not to have to recycle this little tablet that I love but it is getting slow slow slow

Same here when it comes to speed. I have one stock, no root running 4.0.4 & another rooted running OmniRom 5.1.1, its not to bad but could be better. Hopefully CLOUTMAN will have some success getting Oreo in some form on out tablets
