I have made a pure Android 4.3 build for Xoom Wi-Fi and want to share it to the community. There are still many problems waiting to be fixed as it is in the early development stage. Currently it is only released for testing purpose so don't expect it to be a daily driver. Please backup your whole system before testing! Due to the growing size of the system I only included necessary files in the Google Apps package. All missing Google Apps should be available through the Play Store.

So what's working/not working?
Going to flash now! Great effort!!!

It's all working for me.
Only observations are that it says no service on the lock screen and there are occasional very minor graphical glitches when a menu screen appears.
Otherwise, thanks for all your efforts
From what I can gather, hardware wise everything is working.
I've tested: Camera, WiFi, Bluetooth, HDMI.
Other than some graphical glitches it works great

I have the same experience. Updating a 4.2.2 ROM appears to have no ill effects.
The only thing I would add is TB can't backup - it complains about insufficient free space, although there is plenty.
The main issue is lack of root and the fact that the SuperSU .zip fails to flash on the Xoom.
edit: the solution to SuperSU .zip fail is to replace the "update-binary" and can be found in the SuperSU XDA thread.
I have Root
Using BaNkS Core Gapps I have 47.7MB free System.
I simply flashed ROM,Gapps and amended SuperSU in TWRP and the update goes smoothly.

4.3 issue with TB is well known, you have to change the path of the TB directory to "legacy", I'm guessing yours is on "0").

No, it is on the external SD card. No problems with 4.3 using a similar setup on another device.

Currently it is a pure Android build so it contains no other features that aren't available in stock Android system. I will add them back in future builds.
Currently the most noticeable problem is the graphic glitches showing on launching apps, dialogs and menus. I heard from other developers that it is related to the system base we used to create our builds. I will start from another base to see if it fixes the problem. After solving the problem I will start merging changes from my 4.2 builds.

Understand completely. After using for a few hours, this is definitely a step forward from 4.2.x. Noticeable improvements in responsiveness (must be the extra butter) and overall performance. Given that this hardware is 2 and a half years old, it's doing pretty well.

From my personal experience, yes. I've been using the lag fix app over the past month and it has been as noticeable change in performance (not as much as 4.3 itself, but noticeable). The first TRIM lasted about 2 weeks, and when it felt slower I ran it again. Hoping that Google's baked in TRIM will produce similar results on a ongoing basis.

(11/14/2013) - Fixed video playback. Now using 4.4 binaries.

I'll give this a go.
Booted up!! first thing i noticed there is no google now, only the search bar so i can search but no cards
Edit: i got it by putting the google now widget on a screen and it prompted me to get google now.
Yeah the Google now issue has to do with Cyanogenmod's hooks into the setup process. It currently overrides the question about Google Now. You can manually enable it by opening Google Settings and toggling it on.
For the rotation issue -Landscape/protrait... Use the "Ultimate rotation control" from Play. works great.:good:
Getting a Status 7. Any idea on howto fix this?
Use cwm6.0.4.3 for 4.4. The others wont work at the moment.
Wow that's very smooth and fast ! But video playback is broken. Promising ...
Flashed this rom and everything works fine except of video playback, but I know its cause of the binarys?
Another thing i noticed is that the google launcher runs very slow and laggy. Anyone noticed that to?
Anyways...looking forward to the next build

Wanted to try this, but after updating from my CM 10.2 nightly, I got stuck in the CM logo for 5 minutes before going back to recovery and restoring my backup. I used the latest CWM version available (6.0.4.3). Any ideas?
It's certainly need a full wipe : Factory reset + format system

You didn't have to wipe SD card data right?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk
Factory reset don't wipe sdcard (data/media in cwm). But all application datas will be lost
Yes, it's true I didn't wipe. It was never needed when upgrading from one CM version to the other. Not from 9 to 10, not from 10 to 10.1, etc. I'm not talking about N10, just about devices I had CM running previously.
It doesn't make any sense wiping for no apparent reason. Google doesn't require you to wipe from one version to the other, neither does Apple. So far this was the case for CM as well, which of course is based on Google's OS.
So, I still have my s2. I'm unrooted and the sim card slot doesn't work anymore. Not many apps are compatible with my phone. What should I do? I want to make this secondary device useful once again.
I keep it in airplane mode with WiFi on. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks!

If you want it to be a decent device, upgrade it to at least 4.0.4 (ota or Odin,) flash the latest TWRP through Odin, do a backup and a full wipe, flash ParonoidAndroid (and gapps if you want,) wipe cache and Dalvik and reboot. If everything went well and after you are done flashing/modding everything, you may delete the backup if it's taking up too much space. I usually hold on to mine, though.

Do what this guy says! If you're still on the stock ROM, you can easily update it to the official Jelly Bean release through Kies. After that, flash something like Paranoid Android, Cyanogenmod, SlimKat, etc. I took an old phone of mine, put a 16GB microSD in, installed Viper4Android audio, and used it as a Bluetooth/Car auxiliary device . You could also use it as a remote for things like Spotify or Roku, just search the play store for that.

I use it for Tapatalk, music player, email, and remote for XBMC. AOSPA supports App2Sd (which is really the other part of internal storage) so that you can install more apps. If your sim still worked, I'd replace the battery and install AOSPA in it and use it for a daily driver.

I would immediately root it. Because I've done it to my T-Mobile S2-Hercules long time ago and I've tried almost all of the custom ROMs/ Kernals that are out there.
I'm currently using S2 right now because I've lost my Galaxy S4. I've installed Paranoid Android 4.45 to my Galaxy S2-Hercules and believe me this ROM is by far the BEST, STABLE, and FAST. Recently, I've updated to Paranoid Android 4.5 BETA2. So far no major bugs except shooting a video.
As far as installing APPS goes, I've installed tons of apps/games, all of them are working and stable in S2. So far no issues.
I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND to ROOT IT.
I would install a custom rom, especially if it isn't your main phone.
I'd use it for a music player.
Then for gags, I'd probably theme it to make it look like an iPod.

Yes, Jelly been and up do.
Yeah, go on and root it. There isn't much else to do with it otherwise. Alpine and PA roms have been pretty good.
Well I have seen no new BAKED (black android kang everyone desires) roms anywhere. Yet their github was updated last on july 6. While not extreamly current it is kitkat 4.4.4 source. So I got everything synced up and compiled and now ready to release this to the public.
What to expect. Well like I said source was last updated on july 6 and looks like that might be the end of baked. So my plans are to do one good build and let it ride without any update unless source updates.
This is a pure source build with nothing added only changed default dpi to 245 instead of 320. I will modify the zip later to include a few tweaks and a couple of apps.
So far everything I have tested has worked fine.
Install steps
1. Backup internal sdcard to pc (not required unless you have issues then I will ask that you do it)
2. Boot into recovery (philz recommend, NO TWRP!!)
3. Backup current rom to external sdcard
4. Factory reset/clean for new rom
5. Mounts and Storage .. select format data/media (internal sdcard)
6. Reboot recovery
7. Install Rom and reboot
8. Once booted go into settings.. about phone.. tap on build number till it enables developer options
9. In developer options enable advanced reboot
10. Reboot into recovery and install gapps (this will keep you from having to skip through the activation junk)
Optional steps
Install plasma's cm 2.53 kernel and synapse for best performance and battery life
Fix for vpn
Thanks goes to @deviouskind
Before you try setting up vpn setup a secure lockscreen (pin or pattern only)
If you dont vpn settings will fc and you can not set it up
Links
Rom-- Removed
slim gapps-- Removed ( I use full package so more gapps are black )
plasma kernel-- Removed (use the cm version)
MODERATOR EDIT - LINKS REMOVED UNTIL SOURCE CODE IS LINKED PER GPL REQUIREMENTS
Screen Shots
For Netflix users there is a new script in init.d that allows netflix to run without any issues. There is no need to use the xposed module for netflix so you can now use netflix with ART enabled. First two screen shots have a cm11 theme applied. Baked uses the new cm theme manager although there are not many themes out yet.
two
last one
Flashed and so far everything is running super smooth.
Finally, a blacked out ROM, thank you for this.
