  Instructions
  

  1. Your data will be totally wiped! If you have Nandroids, TitaniumBackups, or anything of any value on your internal storage, copy them to your microsd or computer! They will be gone forever! Your microsd card is the only safe haven on your Xoom during this process.
  2. Put TWRP 2.6.3.0 BigPart version and your desired rom on your microsd card.
  3. Reboot into recovery. Flash TWRP BigPart.
  4. Reboot into recovery. Go into wipe menu. Select "Advanced Wipe". Check
     • Dalvik Cache
     • System
     • Cache
     • Data
     • Internal Storage
     and wipe them. Don't reboot just yet.
  5. Go into install. Recovery should show your microsd storage by default. If not, using the navigation panel, navigate to root then go into "sdcard". You can now follow the steps below, starting with Flash omni-4.4.2-201XXXXX-wingray-HOMEMADE_XXXX.zip.

Thank you, and happy new year.
One question. If I am changing to this ROM from the wingray one do I have to wipe everything or just davlik and cash?

 

[emaxxim]

I'll flash and let you know Schischu, great gift for the new year

 

[js345]

Thanks very much to the developers.

It's working great! . Didn't worked out of the box. Had to set the APN to my provider.. It shows 3G, not H besides the radio icon, but the speed i get is the usual from my provider (vIvo Brazil)

I did a dirty flash over the Omnirom 4.4.2 Wingray rom. Only wiped cache and dalvik. I didnt flash google apps or su again. It's all working well. I keep using Art runtime. Thanks again.

 

[alex_72gr]

Flushed over wingray, working great. Recognized provider immediately. Great job.

 

[-ix-]

Just repartitioned and flashed this rom. Everything working great with ART enabled. (3G connection as well.) Feels really snappy after a few basic tweaks.

Two questions though..

1. Aren't the status bar and navigation bar supposed to be transparent?

2. Is there some kind of workaround to get tablet mode? Would really prefer to just have one bar at the bottom of the screen.

Thanks a lot for bringing KitKat to the Xoom!

has anyone tried the tethering feature? Is it working properly? Sorry for not being able to test but I really can't afford to lose the tethering right now as internets is limited.

Source/Modifictaion needed for RIL to work

Schischu, thx a lot for making RIL works in Xoom, is it possible for you to share the modification (source code) needed to make RIL works, we are pretty much stuck at Atrix 4g. Thx. in advance

Ooops, thx. a lot, github is updated with Everest & Stingary device tree, Thx. a lot! Schischu

Can't confirm on everest, but wifi tethering is working great on the stingray build.

Great work guys!
I'll try this as soon as I have some free time.
Just one question. Do I have to flash the BigPart boot image package after I do the repartition, or it's not needed?

 

[mermigas]

Xoom goes on
It is on the Portal

@Schischu thank you very much. I'm looking forward to having a good internet connection to test it. You are awesome, mate!

 

[mermigas]

I am using this ROM for the past 24 hours and I can say I am quite satisfied with performance considering that is still first build.
I use OP Tips and never use ART due to incompatibility issue with some of my applications
- I had to manually add my APN settings for my data card
- Switched to Launcher 3 since it is smoother
No major bugs so far and I believe that soon this Rom will fly

A Big Thank You

To @Schischu, @realjumy and all the other great devs out there, a big thank you for keeping this tab alive. You guys rock!
I'll be doing the Repartition and shiny new kitkat rom as soon as I have the time.

Thanks guys
