Awesome News.
I was thinking, with so few physical buttons on the Xoom, I wonder how navigation will work in Clockwork.
Volume up and Down can provide up and down on the menu... however Select, back etc...

Select is probably power button. Back should be in the cwm menu.
My guess is up and down volume to navigate and lock button to select, should only need those.

After much reading, and following CM, I think that Honeycomb and Gingerbread are almost the same. I think Gingerbread was modified, and the Shell was modified to give us that Honeycomb look.
I think that CM7 would be just as good on Xoom as Honeycomb, if we can convince the market to supply us the Tablet apps.
I'm not so sure... we know that at some point Google branched, likely closer to 2.2 than 2.3 for honeycomb. you'll find 2.1 and 2.2 elements in it that don't exist in gingerbread... but that doesn't mean I'm any more right than you. I was really surprised to see the base 2.2 indeterminate (progress bar swirl) in it for example.
I've run Gingerbread on my gTab and keep going back to an optimized version of the 2.2 front-end it shipped with.
I'm hard pressed at this point to name one or the other a victor. If there was a truly tablet optimized version of GB out there I'd consider trying it again, but they all still have too much of a hacked feel to them... I don't mean that as a knock against the devs working hard on them... just my own observation. I'm sure in time they'll clean up nicely... as will honeycomb.
The recovery will be up shortly. In the mean time, i recommend you back up your /data/media folder to your computer. The way things have turned out. Android will have to treat your external sd card as the real sd card. In other words, android will no longer use your internal memory for things like camera. your internal memory will just be storage space. But, isn't this the way it's supposed to be? Also, this should enable Mass Storage. You will also have to flash a new updated kernel which will also be up soon.
I'll patiently wait for both. Does the external SD card have to be mounted for us to go through the procedure? I'll just pull it out prior to the upgrade if that's an option.

So, seeing as we all want us some Honeycomb, what would it take to get the Honeycomb on Xoom ported to Adam?
Sent from my ERIS GSBv2.1 using XDA App
Honeycomb source AND some packages from NVIDIA for the harmony dev board supporting HC.
We will also be able to port it over from the Malata tablets once they get it.

So I'm guessing that we just don't have a developer with enough skills to get us any Honeycomb love. The Nook is running the SDK and we don't even appear to have anyone trying. Running the SDK at the least would be better than nothing.

The issue is the way the SDK emulates the processor among other things. Its not possible and many skilled devs have tried plus having a $1100…+ bounty.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Why do people not use the search functions, or services like google(we all have a google android device right)? Look no HC till we get the source code or can straight copy from device "A" with HC that is the same thing as device "B" without hc. SDK is the preview, it has no graphic acceleration and is ment for computer based emulation or single core emulation, like which is found in the nook color. People leave HC alone, if a DEV makes it, thank them with all your heart, dont stress them with trying to appease the mass. More than likely you should start spamming the forum with request for icecream because honeycomb may never be available to us because of googles decisions with the source.

Source is important to get everything working correctly. However, porting is possible if someone has the knowledge on how to do it. The devs that have these devices are darn good at what they do but we are hurting in this particular area. Not much to be done about it though.

Thats what I figured. I would work on it if I had any idea of what to do. I just do some app developing though so I have no skills. Thing is the emulator doesn't work well enough for me to test out my app. Thats why I'm asking what it takes to get this thing ported. I need it running like yesterday.

What issues are you having with the emulator?
If you can't get that working take your app in to a store that sells the XOOM (Verizon, Staples, BestBuy, etc), load it up on there to test and then delete it when your done. Not the most elegant solution but it will work in a pinch.

Haha. Very true. The problem is as of last night the project file is 829 MB. Thats why it won't run on the emulator. I don't know how to get it to accept however large that APK file will be once compiled. Other then the emulator just being slow thats my main problem. I can live with the slowness though. Just need to give it a ton more memory. Haha.
O. And the file is only going to get larger if things go as planned. Haha
My wife has a VZW GTab 7, and I'd love to get something more stock Android on it; preferably Gingerbread (for the increased functionality). However, she's not a power user so I'd prefer something as bullet-proof as possible. I'd even be willing to keep it FroYo if stability on GB is an issue.
What would you guys think, from your experience, is the smoothest, fastest, most trouble free ROM?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a GSM ROM? Is there a way to get that to work on the VZW Tab?
You are correct. Do not flash GSM stuff on your CDMA device.
Right now there are a few GB options that oldmacnut has been working on, but if you wait just a little longer (a few days probably) he should have CM7 up for public consumption and it could change the answer to your question.

I wouldn't count on oldmacnut releasing anything. He was caught red handed stealing credit for somebody eles releases (ie he rezipped somebody work and renamed it), after he was caught and his threads locked he acted like a little girl, threw a hissy fit and then deleted all his links.
Nevertheless his "leaked" GB rom for the Verizon Gtab is what I would recommend right now. Definitely better than running stock Froyo.

building as we speak, going to go to sleep and see what pops out in the morning
I compiled, and I made a zip, but my result was a very buggy ICS rom wasn't usable and then I had no recovery, so i'm stock as store bought now. I might try again. By the way someone already made an ota package, it had 4g featured in it but he didn't have 4g available?
Cm9 build is working well for ns4g but i know there is no superuser so dont touch it unless you know adb really well for system mods.

There isn't any real minimum. But, to make ROM's in half an hour you need 2x4Core Intel Xeon's with 24GB of RAM and 250GB Hard Drive. Or something like that.

I havent' flashed it yet, my first time around, the first build booted but it wasn't good..very buggy.
So I just found the AOKP forums, and I have an Acer A500. I see build 28, but I don't see a thread for it. Is it safe to download the A500 version of build 28? I am also on Thor's CWM recovery version 1.7, which is CWM 5.5. Will flashing this do anything to internal or external SD storage, or the CWM installation?
There WAS one, then it was revealed that the AOKP was using Thors kernel without permission, so it was banned.

So will this overwrite my current CWM install, or format any of my SD storage? I want to be able to flash back to my current ROM without losing anything.
Personally, I'd steer clear. Last time I saw a status update on it, it was pretty unstable, would reboot on suspend unless you turned off animations, and generally pretty crap. The only part that worked properly was their donation links.
The leak-based ROM's on here, or Thor's current release, are FAR more stable.
However, AFAIK, it won't touch your recovery partition or wipe SD storage, but I can't guarantee that.
From what I'm seeing, the later builds are much more stable.

Not without doing some back porting.
This is much easier to do from Gingerbread back to Froyo though, since you are building something to run on the same hardware and software stack (ARM and Android 2.x). The most difficult part would be getting drivers to work, but just as older drivers are made to work on new OS versions with shims and other tricks, in theory this is possible, if not a lot of work.
I'm not sure what will be gained though. Gingerbread didn't seem like a significant resource drain over Froyo, so I can't imagine there are any speed/power gains.
