Default Looking for devs to help port Xoom 3.1 ROM

Hi guys,

So I have had some recent success doing a semi-port of the Xoom's ROM to the A500. I know most of you are already thinking why bother when PRIMEE is working, but I prefer the Xoom's ROM because it's the closest thing to running stock Honeycomb. Most things are working except for WiFi and misc.

I'm quite short on time and would like to find some other devs to help fix up parts that aren't working.

Please reply to this thread if you can help out.

Thanks!

Just to reiterate that this is a very hackish Honeycomb 3.1 build. If you want something useable, I suggest you check out PRIMEE.

*Updated* Video recording and playback is now working. Will upload a video later for proof.

*Updated* Video proof here - http://vimeo.com/25120538

*Updated* Just tested 1080p video and it works great.

Here's the link to the partition images for you to try out:
system.img
boot.img

By the way, while you're at it, be sure to check out this ROM's 1080p capabilities with these videos -

Since there's no microSD mounting yet, just push the videos to /sdcard/ to see the video player in action.

Not that I can tell...the odd thing is that the kernel module loads fine. It just isn't scanning.

I can upload what I've done so far if you guys want to have a poke at it....

Currently not having WiFi is the most pressing issue. Other things that need to be done including HDMI output and SDCARD mounting (I'm getting help from the Xoom guys for this). I also believe that GPS is not working.

P.S. I'm uploading the system and boot images now. Should be done in an hour's time. I'll post up the link when it's done.

Does the wifi say anything like unable to scan for networks? Or does it even say its scanning.
