Team Tiamat Xoom Rom

First off a note from brd himself :

First and foremost, I would like to thank my wife Christy for putting up with the 100+ hours it took me to get the storage framework working. I told her I would be taking a break after this and I am. It is likely that the coming OTA will render most of this rom unneeded. However, I just have this thing with pwning Motorola Also, I would like to thank Roach from the Transformer team for breaking the back of the smali roadblock. Also, I have to thank Dr1337 from #xoom for making me double check the MediaProvider.apk manifest I hope you guys enjoy this rom. Be sure to read the change log and follow all instuctions when flashing. Thanks

Rom Features

This is a completely deodexed rom, based on the 3.2 wifi system image. However just because Google and Motorola haven't released 3.2 for the verizon xoom that doesn't mean we don't support it! Thats right. We support 3g devices on 3.2 before Google have even released it.

EPIC features

• NATIVE 3G SUPPORT
• SDCard support via mtp. NOTE: your sdcard will now be at /mnt/external1
• Modified application permissions to allow applications that can write to /sdcard to write to /mnt/external1
• USB OTG (On The Go) support. Your usb drives will now be mounted automatically under /mnt/usbOTG
• Android media services scan both internal and MicroSD for media (Gallery, Music, etc)
• Fast boot times. Your boot times are simply amazing with this rom!
• Storage controls in the notification area and in the settings menu!

General Features

• Powered by Tiamat Kernel Katana 2.0.0.
• Pre rooted with su and Superuser
• Pre-installed busybox and iwmulticall.
• Desktop UA String
• Modified battery images & animations.
• Wi-Fi Ad-Hoc Mode
• Quickboot
• Estrongs File Explorer
• Easy charging light controls

Advanced Features:

• Init.d boot scripts enabled
• OpenVPN binary and script - Credit CyanogenMod
• Applications files (apk) located in /data/tiamat_first_boot_install will automatically be installed.
• Applications are zipaligned on boot
• Cron service

Important Notes : A MUST READ

• Your microsd card is now mounted at /mnt/external1. You will also be able to access this via MTP.
• Unless you are upgrading from 1.1 or an private beta, you will need to wipe.
• If you're on a EURO 3G device, please note that this rom should install the correct build.prop for you, but you will still need to backup & push your telephony databases. See here.
• We know about the layout changes in applications such as Settings. This is due to how we had to decompile framework-res.

Release Notes

2.0.1 Release Notes
In this release, I have updated the maps application in /system/apps. This will bring maps up to the latest version, but unfortuantly will still not allow future updates from the market. However we are currently working on a fix for this that won't require users to wipe. (Hopefully, no promises).

Also, we listened to our users about the battery icons, and Nusince has drawn use some new ones that are very similar to the ones used in Rom v1.0/1.1 but have been redone to match the new resolution.

I have also included the build.prop installation script again so that the update will flash the correct build.prop, depending on the current one you have installed. So if you have a euro 3g Xoom, your 3g data connection should work perfectly.

You are also able to flash this directly over the top of the 2.0 rom, no need for a wipe or factory reset.

Last, but not least we have 3 new members to Tiamat Xoom. We welcome TDR, Steady Hawkin and lowtraxx to the team, so look forward to some interesting improvements!

Tips

Turning the charging light off

Using root explorer, or other file manager that gives you enough control, move the "enableChargingLight" file in /data/tiamat_controls into the directory /data/tiamat_controls/not_in_use

Automatically installing applications when you flash the rom:

In the zip file, under the directory "data" there is a directory called "tiamat_first_boot_install". You can place all of your apk files that you want installed when you first boot in there. This is useful for applications such as Thumb Keyboard and Titanium Backup

Reserved for future use

Awesome! I will be giving this a go tonight! Thanks guys!

[ggrant3876]

Been on it for a couple of hours so far so good. One question - Why no special bootanimation like on most roms?

[Steady Hawkin]

I think that will be looked at for the next release

[jblalock77]
