They have the same problem with the LTE Galaxy Nexus. You cannot technically build 4.0.3 from source and have it work because there are still proprietary binaries that they have not been able to release because of licensing issues. So to get around this people are taking components out of the shipping firmware to make it work until we actually get the correct binaries.

It's really a function of the advancement in technology that is causing the problem more then anything. Hardware acceleration is a great example. In order to execute it you need to have highly optimized drivers. Hardware manufacturers do not want to release the source code for these drivers because that would give their competitors an edge. So Google is forced to write API's that hardware manufacturers have to write to and then open source those API's. But having the API's are not enough if the correct binaries are not there for the api to hook into. And since Google does not own those binaries they have to get permission to distribute them. And as a result we are stuck waiting for companies that are not as on the ball about releases as Google is.

First of all thanks for the hard work. I love this rom



This is freaking annoying isn't? Of all the versions of ICS released for the different GED's I think only the Xoom is missing a few drivers/libs. All the rest of them get a full rom (correct me if I am wrong)

And apparently they need an approval from a company that they now own. I think they really should have gotten that before they released anything.

I took a video with the Tiamat HC rom and tried to play on the Rom. It does play fine but I get a stutter ffrom time to time. Would that be libked to the missing libs as well?

I'm just happy that out of the hundreds of android tablets out there we get ics first. This is an alpha of an aosp build and runs smoother than any previous version of android. The camera drivers will come and once again we can claim the Xoom as the alpha tablet :p

Thanks for the big explanation. I suppose the binaries need to be compiled for 4.0.3 for it to work properly on our devices.

I am happy with this rom. I probably won't use the camera much but would be nice to have it working. Apparently people reported GPS working (have not tried it yet). So I guess for the Wifi only users only Camera is missing?

I purchased Dice Player which has been working great with CM7 on my Galaxy S. I could not find it int he market so I suppose a ICtS version is not out yet. I wonder if they have to optimize it for the Xoom after that (Tegra).

Also people are calling this an Alpha rom? I don't think this is Alpha since this is not porting and the actual code was written to work directly on the Xoom?

Exactly. And while it is theoretically possible to take some of the binaries from HC we do not feel that is the correct path considering that we should see everything else we need shortly. We are far more interested in building an extremely stable, high performance rom then we are in rushing things simply for the sake of being first.

On a Wifi xoom (Wingray) the only things really not working are the cameras, bluetooth, and HDMI (HDMI works but is still buggy).

As for the market issues, it has to do with the way this build is identifying itself to the market. We will get it corrected as soon as we are able to. One way around it in the meantime would be to restore the app from titanium backup.

Ya...camera is one of the most important thing for me since I use Skype Video Chat very often...
But great work, hope to see a fully working version soon~

Although I understand not wanting to use the HC binaries with the intimate release of the ICS versions, would it actually be hard to extract the camera and blutooth ones, and then properly replace them when the ICS versions are released?

I've never done any ROM cooking before, so I'm not sure if it as simple as pulling out a file or two and inserting it into a new ROM.

    Team EOS XOOM​
    ICS 4.0.4 Wingray MZ604​
    NIGHTLIES​

    Welcome to the evolution of TiamatXOOM.

    With the AOSP release of Android 4.0 begins the next dawn of the Android operating system. And with this release comes Team EOS, the natural evolution of the TiamatXOOM development team.

    It is the goal of Team EOS to develop and maintain the highest performing and most stable AOSP based rom for an array of platforms. The launching point for this development effort is the Motorola XOOM.

    For the latest news on Team EOS Xoom releases make sure you follow @teameos on twitter and on IRC on Freenode in #xoom.

    NOTE: Team EOS, it’s members, friends, dogs, cats, and associates are in no way responsible for any loss of data or device functionality. Use this at your own risk!
    --

    A quick note on Nightlies: NIGHTLIES ARE DEVELOPMENT BUILDS. They are automatically generated once every 24 hours and represent the compilation of the latest commits to the code repository. While every effort is made ensure that the commits that are accepted are stable and do not have a negative impact to the overall performance and function of the builds it is not possible to test every aspect of a commits impact to the overall repo prior to it’s inclusion in a given build. As a result it is entirely possible that instabilities may be introduced as a result of a given days commits. That is the nature of the nightly system, and the risk that is taken using the latest code changes to the project.

    EOS Xoom is an AOSP based rom. It is developed and maintained by Team EOS and is the culmination of our own in house development efforts.

    Team EOS Xoom Nightly builds: http://goo-inside.me/devs/teameos/roms/nightlies/wingray/

    G-Apps Package
    Because this is an AOSP based rom Google Apps are not included in the base rom. To install Google Apps please flash the following package after installing the base rom:

    Use the latest available gapps package available from http://goo.im/gapps

    *Note - You will need to re-flash G-Apps after you flash an updated nightly build. You can do this before you reboot after the installation of a new nightly.
    Also note that if you are coming from an earlier G-Apps package you will need to wipe prior to installation of this package in order to avoid FC issues.

    --

    Current Known Issues:
    This builds is only for the MZ604 Wingray (WiFi XOOM) It does not support data on any GSM or 3G only Xoom

    Features:
    Because these are nightly builds the included features are constantly evolving. Change logs are generally generated on a daily basis.
    Change logs can be viewed at http://nightlies.teameos.org/changelogs/
    For the most up to date and comprehensive listing of the changes included in this rom please visit http://review.teameos.org

    Kernel:
    Tiamat ICS Xoom kernel
    Support for OC;Under/Overvolt
    Governors: lagfree, interactive, conservative, ondemand, userspace, performance

    Kernel Note: In compliance with GPL kernel source can be found at: http://git.tiamat-dev.com/tegra2/tiamat-xoom/

    --

    Installation Notes:
    These builds are designed to be installed from your favorite recovery (Solarnz R4c, Rogue, Clockwork)
    Perform a full wipe (read Factory Reset) prior to installing this over ANY Honeycomb based rom (this includes all Tiamat roms)

    Please note that due to fundamental changes Google has made to the way Android works there are certain issues that cannot be resolved without additional components from Google and the hardware manufacturers.

    BUGS!
    If you find strange or otherwise unexplained errors please report them here: https://bugs.teameos.org/ Please include logcats and as thorough a description of the issue and what lead up to the issue as possible. With out this we will be unable to track down these errors.

    FEATURE REQUESTS!
    We need YOU, yes YOU to help us build the best AOSP rom out there. Have an idea for a feature you want to see implemented then let us know!
    Team EOS Feature Request

    Changing the Stock Motorola Dual Core Boot Logo Splash Screen:
    While not a necessary feature of the Team EOS ICS builds make sure you check out the Team EOS Motorola Xoom Boot splash utility in the Android Market:

    EOS Motorola Xoom Boot Splash


    Want to contribute to the Eos rom? Well you can!
    Just follow http://teameos.org/?page_id=6 to checkout our source code, and information on how to submit changes for review.

    Please note that due to fundamental changes Google has made to the way Android works there are certain issues that cannot be resolved without additional components from Google and the hardware manufacturers.

    Also a note on 3G/4G Xooms- You can infact flash and install this rom on 3G/4G xooms. You will not however be able to use the 3G/4G radio. There are new basebands that are needed in order for the 3G/4G radios to be able to communicate with the RIL and until these updated basebands are released we are in a holding pattern for radio connectivity.

    Also there are sporadic reports of HDMI partly functioning. Full HDMI functionality is dependent on additional proprietary binaries that Google has not been able to release yet due to licensing issues.

    Also, please note that while the current builds are proving to be very stable, and for users that do not use their cellular radio they can be used as a daily driver these are still nightly builds and are subject to constant development. If you find strange or otherwise unexplained errors logcats are greatly appreciated as it makes it much easier to track down issues.

    Thank you all for your support!

    *Updated G-Apps Package*
    The developers working on CM9 have released an updated G-Apps package for 4.0.3 AOSP based builds
    New version is 4.0.3 V8

    A Special Thanks goes out to gpstar this G-Apps build

    Download: http://www.multiupload.com/54DD4VIXZ6
    MD5: 4a6a7543b025a17f9536eccc4e5afc17
    *Note - Because of changes made to the G-Apps package a wipe will be required if installing this version of G-Apps over a previous G-Apps package in order to avoid FC issues. This version of G-Apps appears to address some of the communications issues that have been plaguing Google services on AOSP builds.

    Bug Reporting:
    As you test out the platform and you discover bugs please report them to:

    https://bugs.teameos.org/

    A couple of notes about bug reporting. If it is an application issue (IE a particular game generates FC errors) please do not report it. There is nothing that we can do about specific application issues.

    If you do report an error please, Please, PLEASE include logcats showing the errors. It is often time difficult if not impossible to replicate errors and logcats make resolving issues much much easier. Please feel free to add the logcats as attachments to the bug report.

    Changing the Stock Motorola Dual Core Boot Logo Splash Screen:
    While not a necessary feature of the Team EOS ICS builds make sure you check out the Team EOS Motorola Xoom Boot splash utility in the Android Market:

    Thank you again for your continued support of Team EOS!

    I think it will, or something like it. It (true multitasking) seems like the future of Android, and our EOS developers will make sure it works for the Xoom. I think the version we had in build #67 almost worked...we're just about there.

    Ya I'm certain it will. We just gotta dig through the code some. You guys may have noticed the change log slowed down a bit. Its called burn out. Our build is pure aosp and our (mostly solarnz 's) commits. Unlike cyanogenmod, who has around 170 maintainers, we count our maintainers on 1 hand. We don't pull commits from all over and call it a new rom. We don't kang. Our build is organic from the ground up. Also, the xoom builds are built by two guys who have been in the xoom game from DAY 1, when we had no source and nobody else wanted to touch Honeycomb. Just thought I'd throw that out there.:D

    This was originally posted in the Stingray thread in response to the issue of the leaked sbf that appeared yesterday.
    --
    The sbf in question that has been released comes from points unknown. There is no way of truly verifying its orgins or its integrity. Use extreme caution if you choose to flash this sbf as there is no way of knowing what changes if any have been made. We have chosen to use only what is absolutely necessary out of this release and even what we have chosen to use has been tested by our own infosec people.

    Yes this may sound paranoid, however when it comes to my personnel data and what we put our name on for the community we are extremely cautious as to ensure the safety and security of all who choose to use these builds. I would much prefer to err on the side of caution then to put any of you at unnecessary risk.

    Build IML77 for the MZ604 (Wingray) - this is the official ICS OTA that is being pushed out for the soak test prior to general release. I can now say that we have this build in house and are working on it.

    That and...

    It's about damn time Motorola released this!
