I suggest you take a look at the dev forum

Congratulations! Xoom development is quite exciting right now. There are the mature and stable Honeycomb roms Moray 2.2.2 for wifi and 3G, one for 4G, and the Odachi kernel from Team Tiamat, as well as several kernels from Team Rogue. There is also a terrific alpha ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) rom in development, that I'm using as a daily driver.

Was meant to be going for £199 by CPW.
They actually priced it instore for £199!
But apparently they 'messed up' and it wasnt the right price....
Tried to use price match plus 10% off at PC world
they said they rang the local cpw and said they could not as not in stock
I went over the cpw, they had 3 in stock, bought it
went back to pc world complained they'd told porkies
got a £30 free spend as a sorry we messed up
got a 16gb usb stick, a case for it, and a screen protector
I'm assuming the Xoom will get ICS officially ?

Nice! Looks like you got the £30 well spent on accesories!
How are you finding it?
Do you recommend it?

Its nice enough, not as snazzy as the samsung, but its £150 cheaper and feels much better made, plus I don't need stupid dongles for a mini hdmi port
keyboard lags sometimes though
what causes that ?

Motorola announced that the Xoom will officially get ICS a while back. At least in the US.
I also picked up a Xoom from CPW for £250, great little device! Next step, root and then ICS
I got one as well
Easiest way to root this thing?
Anyone tried that xoot ?

Im a complete noob on rooting and rom flashing
So not so keen to give it a go.
This guide is fine for setting up Android SDK (ADB):
http://alldroid.org/tabid/40/g/post...fastboot-support-in-Windows-for-the-Xoom.aspx
One note:
Download an updated Motorola USB driver, not the one in the URL.
This one is good:
http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...tware_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers
Version 5.4.0.
So after you have the SDK up and running on your PC and Motorola USB driver installed (and you do NOT need to touch your Xoom for that), it'll take you 3 min to unlock, flash custom recovery, and root.
Really not difficult.
Where do you guys see it for 249.99?
On their site its showing 319.99. :s
I've been trying to get one from Verizon with the contract price of $300 US, but they told me that it's no longer in production. ;/

Use the Universal Root method from the Xoom Development forums here.
Then install the latest (version 20 as of this writing) of the EOS ICS Nightlies. You won't regret it.
EOS Thread here
After every ROM update, install this gApps package over the top of your ROM to get your google apps back. More info in the thread. Solarnz has it together really well on that.

Kicked in for this one. The gesture remote and keyboard looks really good compared to other byo input device models being made nowadays.
Hope this is good, any one bought this and experiences please ?

I paid $69 for them, still think that is not a bad deal given the overall package..
Got my tracking info. Says it is out for delivery today!

Capabilities of this type of device
Got mine its decent. Does anyone know if there will be very much development for this device.
I know they said they would put out some OTA updates and root was a possibility in the future.
This is my first device of this nature and I am clueless to any possibilities it may have. I know I like
to root any device I can and I'm hoping to do the same with this.
I'm just hoping their OTA updates fix the crashing, hell when some apps crash and it asks if you want to report it, the report crashes as well!
I ordered two of these. It is junk. Move along. Laggy and one of my units is broken. Company doesnt care. It is just a rebranded CX-01...
Well the last few comments are not encouraging.. Picking mine up on Thursday...
Anyone had an opportunity to try Plex on it yet? That was the main reason I bought it.

It looks to me like they do care quite a bit. They are answering all kinds of questions on the Kickstarter backer's page and on Facebook. I believe that they are working hard on an OTA update to be released very soon....At least I hope it's soon.
As for the broken one, have you emailed [email protected] with your concerns?

And for anyone on this forum who has the Equiso, they just posted this on the comments page..
"We are narrowing down the bug fix for the wait close screen. Just a quick shout out. We have a new 500gb external HDD sitting in our office. Find the bug before we do and its yours!"
Invitation to help out with getting this thing running A-1... Wish I knew something/anything about coding and programming

I bought mine for plex as well and no luck so far. It won't connect to my server despite every other android device I have being able to. Commenters on Kickstarter are reporting problems with it as well.
Got Root
I got this device rooted awhile back and downloaded some apps to help with
performance. It runs alot better now. I can't beleive they couldn't fix some of these
issues before it came out. I installed the beta updates they put out and it helped.
It seems like they don't want to give out the info needed for people to do developement
because they are afraid someone will get it up and running better then they can.
I'm just looking forward to running custom roms on this thing.
I've owned one of these, and also a bunch of the dual core sticks.
The Equiso is not worth the price. It is pretty much a cx-01 or c-77.
I found the video performance to be substandard.
I sold it for a loss after a week.
You can get a dual core for cheaper.
Even the original MK802(single core allwinner a10) is better.
If I had to buy a stick right now it would be the dual core MX1.
If I wanted to wait I would pick up the GK802 quad core stick(freescale soc!) or the uHost2 dual core stick.(more usb)
Let the buyer beware though! Check out everything you can before you buy!
Wow, that uhost2 looks really good. Would you happen to know of any good reliable retailers that have the Bluetooth capable one???

I received my pro two weeks ago. No image on my tv whatsoever. Tried on my friends brand new tv where it works. Imagine buying a dvd-player only to find out it is not compatible with your tv.... sucks.... no answer regarding update from the support either
Tried on another TV. Works but hängs and bootloops every time I connect to wifi or change video settings
Bought this tv stick at Wallmart
I have purchased this TV stick at Walmart the stock Rom is buggy until you root it and change the CPU governor. I have rooted it and removed the equiso update file from system/app now it doesn't pop up all the time which was kind of annoying. I have done some simple stuff to this TV stick and it works well I agree with the other post though this should of been done before it was released.
Can it turn my grandma to a smart phone ?

I've decided to be patient, and only checks like 5-10 times a day :silly:
On a more serious note: On Google's Nexus page they write:
Nexus 7 comes with Android 4.2, the latest version of the world's most popular mobile platform.

Are Google shipping new Nexus 7 with 4.2? If they are, surely they should be able to release an OTA?

I check when somebody on the forums confirms its release.
I'm very passive that way.
*Sent from Nexus S*
no point in checking now....when 4.2 gets pushed to AOSP you WILL see it everywhere. and then the devices should get it within the day.
save your fingers, i think you are going to need them on the 13th (official launch of the nexus 4 and nexus 10)
I'm not going to get AOSP 4.2 since i'm on AOKP. Just don't wanna miss some of it's features. But some tim aftere release there will also be AOKP 4.2
What update.
Google will personally call everyone who owns a nexus 7 Tablet two hours before its release . During the call you will be given information on how to obtain this Life saving Technological Breakthrough. They will also explain to you the update procedure. Google will also get your mailing address as to where to send you a refund check for the full amount of the cost of Android 4.1.2 . The check refund is to say they are sorry for having to wait for the new Os. If you mention 3 times while on the phone with them about . thats 3 times talking bad about apple and Ms They will increase your refund by 3x .. Please be prepared to do a short online survey (required).
On topic.. I do not check The day it comes as soon as i log into the forums i will see all the post from all of you guys checking for me...
Have a nice day The above story comes direct from the small part of my brain that does not as i tell it to..
I'll check around the 14th. No point really in checking before then.

Just got my nexus 7 and is asking for an upgrade. The question is, should I upgrade or not? I'm asking cuz I've seen some post with some bugs on the new upgrade.
BTW This is the best $249 I have ever spend on any gadget.

You can go ahead and try it out. If you don't like it you can always go back to the way it was.
Ya I just mine tonight at staples. I'm gonna hold off on the update and just root later. I miss the theming like on my dinc2 running pa.

I have yet to upgrade and still on 4.1.2 and runs great! I have seen way to many negative reviews on 4.2 or 4.2.1. I just wish I could have the update stop refreshing and asking me if I want to update. Drives me nuts!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
well just want to let you know guys, I just run the 4.2 update and in the first boot it ask me for the 4.2.1 upgrade and I run it too. So far I have not notice any bug. The wifi one was the one wiries me but at the first boot it logged automatically to my router dlink cisco e1200 and i have full signal as I had before. I have amo-Navi-x sideloaded and I stream a 1080p movie right away, no lags no nothing.
Can someone get the red phase beam live wallpaper from the new i9505 google rom? it looks sexy.
i have gone back to Samsung stock until its fully working but i would like that live wallpaper, there is one on the app store but 84p! for something that should be free imo
