While I agree with corvus, not all of us have a ton of time to flash a ****load of ROMs. I love to play with my Xoom, but I also have a life (work, school, cat, girlfriend. and the last two get jealous if i play with my xoom more than them). But anyway. If you wanna choose a good ROM, read their respective forums. I can tell you the two oldest (read:most time invested) dev's here for the Xoom are Tiamat (TeamEOS) and Team Rogue. From what I've learned in my time at this forum (Ive had my Xoom since they came out), they seem to have the most experience with Xoom-specific problems. I'm presonally on Steady's CM9 Kang. It's important to note that he's now the official maintainer for the Xoom branch of CM9. TeamEOS has done great work, and it should be fun to play around with their Cornerstone builds. I haven't messed with them, so I can't speak to its efficacy.

I've also noticed that since the release of the Galaxy Nexus, the ROM scene here has seen a large growth as of late. I can't speak to the quality of these "bleed-thru" ROMs, but I'm sure they're fine. Seems kinda reverse-engineered to work on our Xooms though. I'm no expert!

TLDR: Try CM9! It should have a bunch of mods and go-fast pretties. If you don't like it, try out TeamEOS offerings. Donate to whichever you find suits your needs best.

Another 'best of'...

It all depends on what you want. If its glitz with additional functionality - team eos or cm9 kang.

I personally use Razorblades AOSP build. Its straightforward - no glitches - overclockable if you desire, and found it had no visual glitches or funky sleep issues. No glitz - but I want a ROM that provides a stockish experience with additional features that all come together well.

Bugless Beast is fantastic too. I just prefer a more stockish tablet experience.

I used CM9 the day it came out but recently switched to CNA. I vote CNA for sure, very reliable and customizable.

I'm happy as can be with EOS wingray nightlies...I'm on build #84 and it's super stable and functional. I oc to 1.6 ghz without a glitch. I've played with Cornerstone, but actually prefer plain EOS ICS and use Overskreen and Stickit for that same multitasking experience...just less buggy and demanding.

As an developer I prefer Team Rouges (unofficial) CM9 Release.
You have ADB in the developer settings and many more handy options.
Be careful on the WIFi-only (Wingray) Release. Since 15/03 The ROM crashes when you don't have a sd-card in. This is a serious problem. But the ROM is great!!!

Edit
It crashes every time when the tablet goes into standby mode AND no SD-card is in.

Eos is the bestest packing the most winz. I'm not biased or anything. Really.

 

[theherodrownd]

I have EOS, CM9 and AOKP. I found the best is AOKP, currently running AOKP Milestone 4. If you are interested go to http://www.forum.aokp.co

Good luck.

If u truly want the best rom out there for thr xoom go with either the 1.0.0 from EOS or the EOS nightlies hands down

 

[Zues532]

I know my name doesn't carry much clout in here, but having gone through EOS 1.0.0 / Unofficial CM9 / Codename Android 1.5.5 in the past month I really like the newest Codename Android.

Mostly waiting for there to be an official CM9 release. Then I'll jump ship to that.

Of course I run all my roms with Team Tiamats AOSP 3.0.5 kernel (w/ GPU OC)

My Xoom runs beautifully.

I have wifi only xoom and have used team eos with overclocked gpu. Its very stable no only had 2 crash's since i'v had it and that was the browser so would not put it down to the firmware at all all the hardware is supported fine and works well. I think eos is clean and tidy and with dev tools zips you'll have alot to play with.

 

[Gösser Märzen]

i've testet all roms out there...
the best release would be eos with trebuchet from cm9,
or rouges cm9 with tiamat kernel...

 

[jchammer123]

I also just can from EOS 1.0 to Codename Android 1.5.5 and like it a lot. Both are great roms, but I just like the customization of Codename a little better.

Agreed... I am using TeamEOS 89 and Cornerstone 13... By far the best combination possible and very stable... They nightlies have been very impressive from the get go... Thanks TeamEOS!!!!!!

 

[yoshitweaky]

Am I missing something here? How can you be using both 89 and cornerstone 13? Its one or the other isn't it as they are both roms

After using almost all the ROMs I keep coming back to EOS. Its the only one in which I have not ran into any issues. Personally it suits my needs of speed + always updated

Peter Alfonso's "Bugless Beast" has worked well for me, but it appears the domain he used for hosting has expired and there's no way to access the latest builds.

Love the bugless beast rom. I've tried most of the others and came back to bugless because it is so reliable. And the USB extension is working without an app. Concerning the bugless nightly downloads, all you have to do is stroll down until you see wingray downloads and click-on.
