ROM question may be relevant to many of us.

So with the generous help and contributions of this group I rooted and installed CM11 serveral years ago. Not perfect but the xoom served as a media/alarm clock device very well. This year the same problem that led me to root the first time surfaced again, constant crashing of google play services and google play generally.

I became tired of it and let is sit for 2 months and then took it back to stock. The stock works greate but has few apps available to that will work fully. Of course the problem is most are designed for higher android versions. I have been searching the web and searching this forum and I see that there are android 5, 6, and other roms that many give good marks.

I even have a copy of the last official update from motorola but for the life of me can't figure out how use it or convert it to a set of image files.

I'm definitely not a developer, just a user, and yes I enjoy being able to make use the xoom. With that in mind it would be great if you could share any thoughts/suggestions/advice you might care to share.

Thanks!

Pagoaz - I don't have a lot of advice, because I'm just rooting my Xoom myself. I am thinking that I'd start with the non-bigpart ROM's, though. I'm stuck on 3.2.6 as I missed the last update for the stingray (MZ602). Your post got me to thinking though that if you had and could share the right update, perhaps I'd make use of it first. May I ask which Xoom/update you have? I'd be needing the update from HLK75H to IMM76L (Honeycomb to Ice-Cream-Sandwich).
