Xoom ICS images soon to be available

Just saw this mail from JBQ on 'Android Building' groups:
I'm pushing the source code for Android 4.0.3 to AOSP. This matches
build IML74K. Kernel sources will follow as soon as practical.
Over the years, I've released 50 different versions of Android in
AOSP, not counting the SDK and CTS, and I think that this is the best
release ever.
Some noteworthy items:
-This version of Android is optimized for a wide range of devices. It
works on phones. It works on tablets. It works on devices that don't
quite have the horsepower of a Galaxy Nexus.
-From a straight AOSP, it works on Galaxy Nexus (the ones sold with
mysid and yakju builds), on Motorola Xoom (US variants), and on Nexus
S (all variants). Proprietary binaries will soon be available for
those devices at the usual location.
-Out of the box, this is the first time that AOSP works on 3 different
device families, the first time that it works on tablets, the first
time that it works directly on a device that's neither an ADP nor a
Nexus, and the first time that it works on Verizon devices.

Could we expect ICS images for the Xoom soon ?
Unfortunately I'm unable to post a link to that google group page - You can check out the 'The source code for Android 4.0.3 is now available' email thread in the 'Android Building' google groups.

You can't but I can

Does this mean we could literally put ICS on the xoom now, or is there still a step to take to get a working image?

JBQ just posted another email in the same thread releasing the proprietary binaries for the drivers, as well as the android-4.0.3_r1 for the AOSP git sources.
So I assume, if you build the AOSP sources with these binaries extracted in the right place, you'd be able to compile an image that would work on the Xoom.
I'm gonna try that tonight

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/android-building/mjEzwvc_J4k
"Below are the direct links to the various proprietary binaries. The
web page will update in the next few hours."

how long does it take to compile from AOSP again?
EDIT: and no this is not a request for a ETA

Lol, if I knew how to do this, aosp for xoom would be released in as long ad it takes to compile it and make it flashable.
Is anyone who is able, willing to do this for us not in the know? Please!?

I think CyanogenMOD takes about 40 mins on a modern computer to build based on something I read. This will vary widely based on your CPU performance obviously. But this is probably a good ballpark: over 30 mins for a full build I'd say based on what I've read.

He said the xoom camera doesn't work =(

I think it was something like 4 hours on a 2x quad-core machine with 16 GB of RAM. Can't be bothered to look up the source now.
I'm compiling it now on my dual-Xeon W5687 machine w/72 GB of RAM.
This guide is pretty good: http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/compile-ics
Follow the instructions for the Nexus and when you get to "lunch" this page will help:
http://source.android.com/source/building.html
3G/4G users want "full_stingray-userdebug".
Wi-Fi users want "full_wingray-userdebug".
New: Apparently you have to download the binaries and do a make clobber before you do a make according to this page: http://source.android.com/source/building-devices.html. Time to recompile
Note that is required that you use Ubuntu x64 (I'm currently using 10.04.3 LTS)

Looks like I overestimated the time it took to compile, it is done after 20 minutes. Now to test it

Right now I am compiling for Xoom Wi-Fi (as it is the Xoom that I have). I have to go off to see my friend's graduation so I wont be back for 3 hours at least.
If the Wi-Fi one works, I'll compile 3G/4G if someone hasn't beaten me to the punch yet.

aaaand to some how release it for the rest of us...???

eh how often do you hold this big thing to take a picture anyways lol, no HDMI sucks but no biggie never had a use for it but have the HDMI cable lol

AzN1337c0d3r thanks! Looking forward to it!

Yeah, not a huge deal for me, but if we get ICS on the xoom, the speed and stability by itself is worth it!
am I correct in assuming that the camera and HDMI will eventually be fixed? We aren't talking permanent incompatibilities, are we?

These are most likely things that Motorola will have to handle themselves (especially the Camera).
Surprised by the lack of HDMI support however, I would have expected that part to be handled by the Tegra2-related bins. But not a big deal for me either.

That's what I figured, just thought it was odd that the AOSP is released "officially supporting" Xoom, and the camera and HDMI out don't work... Or, is it just a generic tablet AOSP build and only some of the drivers or something...?

Info, I wanna buy this tablet

Hi,
I want to buy a new tablet 10 inch and this note seems perfect for me since I study at the university. But I have some doubt:
1. I read that the version with snapdragon works best, but for me it would be fine also Wi-Fi only version, do not ever insert the card, it's worth it to spend at least 100 € extra just to get the better processor?
2. In the reviews I've seen with Android 4.3, the lag is not missing at all, the situation has improved with the upgrade to Kitkat? Also do you think will be upgraded to Lollipop?
3. I would need to connect it to the TV with HDMI, what kind of connection you can do with this tablet?
Thank you all in advance!

@Murtagh92 Mate I wouldn't buy this just yet ... there is a new Note 10.1 2015 in the works ... My guess would be in a couple of months it will get announced. It will have typical better Processor and screen and the WiFi version will probably the same as the 2014 LTE.
1. I would just be patient if possible - If you need it asap then the WiFi Note 10.1 2014 is fast enough I believe and pretty cheap at the min.
2. Yeah I am 100% positive the Note 2014 will get Lollipop although it will be a bit of a wait LOL. But I find KitKat prettt fast.
3. This adaptor will do the trick ... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&tag=viglink20238-20

Thank you, very kind.
I'm participating in an auction. It's a lte version, buyed in january with 2 years of warranty, original cover and 64 microsd, I will offer up to 350, otherwise I will expect the 2015 version.

Yes please don't buy the note 10.1 2014.. Lags like crazy, touch screen is soo unresponsive, cheap feel(doesn't feel like $550), but performance wise its king..
Sent from my SM-T800 using XDA Free mobile app

I have the Tmobile version and it works great. No lag. Haven't had any problems with it. The only things I don't like are the placement of the charging port and the auto brightness function which must be a Samsung tablet issue cause it works fine on the Sasung phones I have. By issue, I mean that with auto brightness checked, the screen is really dim even in very bright light so I just adjust it manually.

I think I will wait 2015 edition. Unless I find a good deal for the lte version.

I will sell you mine...if interested. Pm me if you want.

Chromecast works perfectly with this table. Plug it into your hdmi port of your tv. You do need to be on the same wifi network. I use it all the time.

I've thoroughly enjoyed my tablet so far. With the aid of some talented developers, this tablet has picked up quite a bit of speed and stability! And currently on TigerDirect it's going to $400

Ive had mine about 8 months and it's been fantastic.
Little bit of menu lag before kit kat but now its 100%.
Love the official flip case with it also and a big sd card.

I bought a P605! It's fantastic! Now I am not sure if I need to make root or change rom.

Just root will do. With kitkat u will have 2.7gb ram 400mb more ram than the 4.3.
with root u can use app like greenify and tb to remofe craps. I have successfully rooted by flashing nee kernel and then towel root and then flash back my curre kernel which is cnj1 without tripping knox or void my holy warranty.

2014 edition rocks.
U wait and get 2015 edition, you will pay alot more. Hv had mine for a month now w kitkat wifi edition 2014 and thoroughly enjoy it....But one thing to note(get it?) with samsung is that they cannot keep their devices up to date at the same rate as their development...so anything in the past gets left behind. Example: 4.4.4 kitkat update is here for tmobile but not wifi edition which is samsung only.

[Q]Looking to buy a galaxy tab 4

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a galaxy tab 4 tablet or something similar for under $150 if there's better options out there. I'm basically looking for something I can root, flash and just tinker around with. I noticed there's a bunch of different model numbers, is there any models that cannot be rooted? If i go out and buy a brand new one will I be able to root it?

I bought the tablet for my son. I have a sony tablet z2 and i am surprised that the tab works very well. I thought that it would stutter,...but it is very good beginers tablet. I have bought him SM-T533 10.1 WI-fi model which has a new 64bit snapdragon 410 SOC version...despite the low PPI on tablet the display is nice and also the battery is powerful. As for rooting i think you could easily root it...but since it is working very well why would you like to root it for. buy it and enjoy

SM-T530 (Wi-Fi only), SM-T530NU (Wi-Fi only, IR blaster), SM-T535 (4G) for the 10.1 inch series, SM-T330 (Wi-Fi only), SM-T330NU (Wi-Fi only, IR blaster) for the 8.0 series. Those are the ones with real custom rom support. Cyanogenmod 12.1 on this tablet is very nice, especially blisspop. Most models can be rooted, but AFAIK the SM-T533 cannot be rooted.
I remember reading that the SM-T533 (10.1), SM-T333 (8.0), and SM-T233 (7.0) can't be rooted yet. Some of the AT&T and Verizon branded models (SM-T537A, SM-T337A, SM-T537V, SM-T337V) can't be rooted because of the locked bootloader and there's no chance for roms on any of them IMO.
Oh, a guide to the model numbers: they're all SM-T###. The first # is either 2, 3, or 5. Any model number where that first number is 2 is a 7.0 inch, 3 is an 8.0, and 5 is 10.1. The second number is always 3, don't worry about it so much. The last number can be several numbers: if it's 0 it's a Wi-Fi only model, 1 is a 3G model, and 5 and 7 are 4G models. So: SM-T231 is a 7.0 3G, SM-T335 is an 8.0 4G, etc.

If you're looking for a travel friendly model go for the sm-t330nu galaxy tab 4 8.0
mostly the same as the sm-t530nu
easily mod-able and many/most rom builds for sm-t530/nu can be ported to sm-t330nu with a kernel build and some
correction of proprietary binaries and libraries, usually sound.
also you can set up a chrooted distro on external sdcard and run at terminal, this comes is very handy for kernel builds
and similar smaller projects, especially for projects that encounter issues when attempting a cross-compile for arm.
As long as you have the chrooted distro established correctly, including the kernel headers for your tab model installed
in the right place, you can achieve native compiles for the tab on the tab.
I have the sm-t530nu and the sm-t330nu and both are set-up the same in that regard, very handy.

Does the G Pad 10 cases and screen protectors fits on the X 2 10.1?

You refer to this tablet as the AT&T LG Pad X 2 10.1. The AT&T web site shows this as the LG G Pad X 10.1. Is this the same tablet?
Do you have way to root this device yet?

Well you said ask anything, I have a question....
3 points lie on an xy plane, with each point representing where a particular person lives. Amy lives at point (2,3); Brian lives at point (0,7); and Claire lives at point (-2,3). They all wish to meet up with each other for lunch, but at a location that is equidistant from each of their respective houses. At what point do they meet?
a. (0,4.5)
b. (0,13/3)
c. (0,3)
d. (1,5)
e. (-1,5)

You can use an usb slim-port adapter. The slimport from Monoprice does work but one may also need to connect a power adapter to the adapter as some adapters need more power than supplied from the tablet else the battery could also run down very fast.
I have the pad 2 10.1 wifi & have used the Amazon slimport adapter for their Fire 8.9 4th gen to display on the TV. You can do miracast/*cast but the sound quality is much worst & quite noticeable.

I made the mistake of flashing one non-compatible, and now all i get is fastboot mode, and i'm not quite sure how to use fastboot, but trying to learn it so i can use my tablet again. Thanks so much for your time.

How to upgrade to Marshmallow on LG V930 ?
I just received an LG V930 (LG G Pad X 10.1) off eBay. It was advertised as locked to AT&T, and has AT&T's bloatware. However:
- AT&T Device Unlock Request page does not recognize it as an AT&T device! I am trying to get around this via a 3rd-party unlock service.
- The tablet is running Android 5.1.1, Kernel 3.4.0, Build LMY47V, Version V93010d. But it does not update any further--it claims to be up to date already. How do I upgrade it to Android 6.0 ? Is it possible that the tablet is forcing me to wait 24 hours (after initialization) before Software Update will work?

An administrator on AT&T's Community Forum asserts that the tablet will not update unless it has an AT&T SIM card. I actually tried that, but the SIM card was pre-used; I got a message that it was "not provisioned", and the tablet would not update.

I just set up the Samsung Kids Mode app on our family's tablets and it works quite well. If it's not preinstalled it should be in the Galaxy Apps store. It disables IAP, allows access to only certain apps, lets you set time limits and so forth.

BTW, T530 is a Tab 4 10.1 not a Tab A. 5.0.2 is the latest OS for T530. I had one and sold it to upgrade to the Tab E 9.6 T560NU, which I then sold to upgrade to the Tab A 10.1 T580. I modded all of them, mostly to get rid of Knox and other unnecessary apps.
If you do indeed have the Tab 4 you would be better off looking in the Tab 4 section.
