Does anyone know where I can get Honeycomb Chinese for the Xoom? I know it was released in China recently and was looking to install on the wifi Xoom I bought a few weeks back.
Thanks

MZ606 (Chinese wifi version) seems the same hardware and MZ604, MZ606 MZ604's stock rom flashing is working.
If you just need the locale to be in Chinese, you can try More Locale 2 from the market. I can change the locale language on the Xoom with this app.
But if the Chinese Xoom has it's own 3rd party apps... yeah you need the rom.
Hmmm, not sure what we be the best route to take. I bought this wifi Xoom for my sister when it first was released. But my sister is in Taiwan and would prefer to be able to navigate through the system if it were in Chinese. Since I'm here visiting I figured I could perhaps load it for her before I go back home.
What would you guys recommend? Loading the Chinese install? Or using that More Locale app?
Thanks for all the assistance.
Just tried MoreLocale. Works nice but I realized I'd still need Chinese input without having to using the voice method.

Thanks for this link. I think this may just be what I need short of getting the Chinese install.
well, ddjv6 has nothing new when compared to jvo.
its basically jvo.
no hindi fonts or nothing very specific to india found in this fw.
bugs are yet to be discovered.
the good thing is warranty will be valid for those who still have it.

I got my galaxy S from letsbuy. I think they import the korean version and sell it as I never had any hindi fonts, but it has korean fonts. My friend bought a galaxy S from a retail shop here in bangalore and I'll see if it has any indian fonts.
Also reg feedback, these are negatives i noticed till now.
Wi fi weaker.
Auto brighness adjustment is horrendous n keep dancing about.
The batter indicator on the top notification bar spikes up sometimes.
Well, I doubt if it will have any...
Android is bugged at base code with the lack of full support for unicode fonts. Even if I try to open a Bengali news site with unicode fonts, all I see is squares!
MAJOR MAJOR flaw in this tech age... no unicode, ha ha google? What are they doing? Counting number of zeros in "google"?
Ah... so the official GB kies update for i9000 has landed in India?
So far works very well... 14 hours of use.. 48% battery remaining.
Wifi works well. no issues.. will write more review soon...

Through KIES its able to upgrade. or you can use samfirmware download the the FW and flash using odin
Noice!!!!
Well, finally its here....and i must say its not bad at all. slight lag though can surely live with it. Same as JVO. waiting for Voodoo..................
I have the CF-Root JVO kernel working with the DDJV6 and its smooth. Front facing camera is working as it should. I hate to see the notification text color black on a dark grey background.
I'm unable to scan GSM900 network using default modem (JV4) with Indian Firmware (JV6). Is anyone else facing the same problem?
Changed the modem to TUBJV6 from JV6 firmware of i9000t. Getting GSM900 now.

I was wondering if it's possible to enable the CRT screen off animation in this. I'm not too confident with changing the system files, so it'd be great if someone could point to another option? Is flashing another kernel or ROM the only other option?

I have Samsung Galaxy S. I have installed DDJV6 using Kies over JP6. But I am feeling absolutely cheated by Samsung as this so called 'Indian Release' does not support any Hindi or Indic fonts. I am talking about reading Hindi text. As far as text input is concerned, Hindi is not even shown as a data input language. Shame on Samsung that it cannot use the inherent features of Gingerbread! I am saying so because even Froyo Official release of Galaxy S in India could render Hindi fonts correctly. There were a lot of tall claims that Gingerbread would support 52 languages (both for reading and writing) and here is this Samsung that it can't even render Indic reading capabilities in Galaxy S based on Android 2.3.3.
I don't have a Galaxy S. My friend purchased it just couple of days back. It's running Froyo out-of-box. Tried using Kies, but could not find any newer firmware. Did you guys manully flush the firmware or use Kies for 2.3?
cheers.

Not sure why it takes three months to get the UK update to 3.2 after the US, but it finally arrived on my MZ604 today... perhaps it's translating from American to English

With films now in the market and a slightly prettier Google+ update, tonight's been pretty good
The keyboard lag seems better I've noticed while typing this out
Has anyone on a MZ601 received the 3.2 update?
I wonder if this will fix the Tiamat 2.2.2 market issue of missing apps?
What build is this?
Can somebody get the link or the zip file for the update please?
I am on a US 3.2 but might have to switch back for this.
There's one good thing about this update, quickoffice HD
considered wiping my xoom and setting it back to the UK 3.2 image - but then thought if i stick it out on the US 3.2 image then i'll probably get ICS 3 months quicker than the UK...

nope looks like wifi only for now....*sigh*
iv just got my update aswell let see after the download if all the bugs iiv found are fixednstill contemplating to root it :/ my sgs22 is but might wait till I get board lol
Is this update 66.0.23.en.EU that we're talking about here?
I've got the option to update to this but my MZ604 is rooted using the any update/any version method so dunno if its wise to update or not.
Can anyone clarify if I can apply this update and still be rooted or will it break stuff?
Cheers.
Why on earth do the 3G's (who paid more for their devices too!) get the updates after the standard Xooms? It's a ridiculous situation - it's not as if Moto don't know the difference between the two and can't create the update for both at the same time! GRRRR
Wen will 3g get it? I might just sell up and get xoom two next month

So annoying. You spend more to get the 3g model and end up stuck on an old rom. My first Motorola = fail

Honestly? Xoom = fail
I don't get upgrades on time and most of uk banks charge for all market purchases (£1.25 on top for overseas transactions) - not like there is anything interesting to look for anyway (most of apps look and operate like s..t).
I wanted to buy something else then Apple and I ended up with clunky, laggy, buggy, overpriced (£570) prototype of a tablet. Now value dropped 50% and all truth came out - it's just ipad-wannabe.
(also I barely managed to write down this rant because of stupid keyboard lag...).
ICS? I'm tired of waiting. Google can't even release one simple upgrade on time... I'll wait for iPad 3 instead and I promise you that - I will have it before ICS upgrade. At least Apple is always on time with their stuff.
I know this is for the UK 3.2 but it's looking good for AUS - I really hope this resolves the Tiamat market issue!
Just in from Motorola Australia facebook page
"Hi guys, we know you're all eager to download the latest 3G Xoom 3.2 software for 3G devices. We wanted to provide you with another update on timings. Approvals are still in progress and we hope to be able to push the upgrade within the next week. We appreciate your patience."

I wouldn't be in a rush for 3.2 if I were you - I recieved it over the weekend and lost the ability to write to the SDCard again! It was there in 3.1, gone in 3.2 - SDCard is back to read-only, unless you connect via a PC.
Sure, you get an Office app, and some printing utility etc, but going back to read-only SD cards is a major backward step for me!
updated yesterday and then rooted using the 'any xoom any update' in the developement forum. Everything ok

Off my boss at work! - I guess it has the US ICS on it... but its really nice.
Any problems...
Are there any downsides to using a US rom?
For example:
Keyboard Layouts
Access to Apps from the Play Store
Access to other content from the Play Store
Other regonalization issues
On the flip sides, apart from the benefits of ICS itself, what would I gain from switching to a US rom as a UK user?
That's a pretty generic question, sorry, but I'd love ICS and would wait, but if there's no downsides I'll get it now.
Thanks

Made the same switch myself and glad i did
keyboard layouts - pretty much the same apart from the £ and $
Play Store - Not had any issues myself and the prices comes up in £
being on a US rom means your going to get ota updates quicker than the uk
I briefly installed the US ROM, but quickly changed to team EOS due to the US locale annoying me!
- US Keyboard Layout
- US date format
- US English spelling (Damn annoying with autocorrect!)
I also need to occasionally write in German, so the lack of other languages (except Spanish IIRC) was also a problem for me!
I have been running the US ROM since HC 3.1 - not had any issues really
I thought the UK language keyboard stuff was in ICS now? if not then I havent noticed an issue at all - market is still all english anyway - it doesn't go on ROM region for the apps
So at the risk of being stupid...
So at the risk of being stupid... I'm guessing it's possible to switch back should I hit any locale issues?
The way I read it if I flash to a US Rom, I should be able to flash to the UK variant when it is released (should I decide to bother).
Assuming I do go ahead:
1. If I stay on the US Rom will OTA updates work?
2. Similarly, if I can then switch to UK ICS, should OTA updates continue to work for this too?
Apologies for the newbie posts, I have been reading the boards for a long time, but what I've remembered in my addled brain has left me somewhat confused.
TIA.

You should definately unlock your boot loader and flash the US image, I did mine last week and it was easy, got sick of waiting for Moto to release UK ICS

Basically the nook has seen a big price cut in the UK, and has subsequently sold a lot, it looks like US stock has leaked into the UK and are been shipped out by major retailers, it's just happened in the last few days so not much atm.
Any ideas how to change it? Even when I log in with my Nook UK account it still brings up the US store, whilst this is fine for me, I got it as a gift and need the UK store for them.
So far I've tried getting the UK firmware and putting it on the nook, the nook does nothing visibly but it is deleting the firmware file so it's seeing it, but won't install it.
Any ideas?
I sorted it from this thread:

I imagine an official fix will be released as it seems fairly widespread.
I've created my own guide that lets you switch between UK And USA software, it's here:

this is very interesting, and if I have a US account, will I be able to activate my nook in UK? What does it change in the UK version?
My nook is US but i read that with UK I can have Italian, is it true? :laugh:
My Nook UK account worked when my nook was running on the US software so I imagine it will work the other way round.
I've compared the two regions software.
There's very little difference, just the store region, build.prop (with region settings), and the screensavers as the UK ones are multilingual.
And yes the UK nook includes Italian as a language option.
ok so it's worth the upgrade to have italian
thank you very much!
for your info i just changed my nook from US to UK and now it's all in italian, thank you very much!
@ theronkinator thanks a bunch mate and very simple process
cheers :highfive:
