Motorola Xoom Oreo Rom Development

[CLOUTMAN]

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.

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!

 

[CLOUTMAN]

what recovery did you use?

 

[CLOUTMAN]

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.

Hi, was going through my pc & came across some Xoon files. I have the H6.2-24 Retail Europe.zip file but no gapps

Hi, was going through my pc & came across some Xoon files. I have the H6.2-24 Retail Europe.zip file but no gapps

Isnt the gapps built in to this rom?

 

[lildanda]

Not sure, I rooted my xoom from day 1 so had to install gapps all the time

 

[DUIDale]

7.1.2

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
