Would someone please tell me what is supposed to be included in the Elocity 7 box when purchased?
Is it supposed to include a USB to USB cable? If not, how is it supposed to be connected to our computer (if necessary)?
I saw the following and wonder if if is correct (it doesn't mention a USB cable):
What is in the box:
eLocity™ 7-Inch Internet, Tablet with 4GB internal memory, rechargeable lithium polymer battery, user manual and safety guide, warranty card and AC adaptor with power cord.
Thank you.
Bobby
That's all folks!!!
Yup, that was all that was in the box. I actually had a screen protector in my box, but it got ruined when I tried to remove the tape from it. It was taped to the A7 to hold it.
I bought 5 bluetooth dongles from eBay - only 2 bucks each - and plugged them into my computers. I can easily transfer files now between all computers and the A7 - and my phones now - and each other.
Really there was nothing else in there.
I did buy a case....the USAGear neoprene black one. Bought it on Amazon. On sale now for about 13 bucks. Fits almost perfect. It could be just a touch longer, but looks good.
Make sure you do the upgrade to latest firmware from website, then Dexters mod 1.41 - makes it a great machine!
I have a bluetooth gps receiver coming - have heard they work with the A7.

Thanks.
What firmware update are you referring to?
I already have PBJ8000.2.0.0133.
(I'm personally not too 'fond' of the updates because they keep replacing apps I previous removed. And I understand every future update will do the same.)
The A7 need a dedicated dev to work on it, thanks Dexter but your legion is to motorola, was using Dexter mod but went back to the stock rom, have less issue with stock than with Dexter mod..don't have to reinsert SD or USB and It show the correct SD card size ..
Firmware update
I believe the latest firmware update is 2.2
It was out in February - i think the 24th, but not sure.
Anyway, i did install the latest firmware, then in order to get the Market place app, I "upgraded" to Dexters mod 1.41 so I could install almost any app from marketplace.

i never seen sdcard (external) reported in stock rom reported correctly or even found? i know it mounts it at /storage/sdcard-disk0 but thats it, for previous releases.. can you tell me how you see it better or do you actually mean internal storage, because "correct sdcard size" is fine here too?
btw(little OT),
for those using stock and want all the new gameloft HD games running, you cannot use stock, as /storage is not supported, it reports "no free space".
if you want to use the usb cable, you still need to be able to switch between host/device, which is not working in our firmware...
you can manually switch but the OS do not acknowledge it correctly.

The newbie on his grandmothers account is right.
He is naming the fw version
2.2 is the android OS version.
Not directly related.
Guess with dextermod were running android 1.41 ? Lol
Ya im looking forward to dexterbread 2.3 and maybe if were lucky even
dextercomb 3.0 LOL!
And in back to the topic,you only received the other accessories if you ordered
your tablet off of Amazon back when it first came out.It was a bonus package,
the only items in the box now are tablet with battery,power cord screen protector
and the paper work.

as no folio owners read here, i can tell you i seen 3.0 on my toshiba folio, very bad for now(soft egl), but its work in progress. but of course, its because we had part of the kernel source available, and im not alone on this at all. but kernel source helps when board changes are needed...

I can remember having some of the same problems with the droid 1 in the beginning but it got worked out and I am still using it as my main phone running gingerbread and can do anything that the newer phones can do and a lot of the things they cant.The ones of us that love this tablet for what it is and can understand even the basics will get a long and happy life out of the A7.

checked it already and its not complete, for compile.. and no details on how to actually making it compile..
tried to copy it on top of 2.6.36.3 but some scripts were missing, so its nice, but not really useful.
anyways A7 has different hardware, and is similar to the Harmony board (called naz10) where Asus the much newer Whistler board for their kit, which has more video mem and some other functions on the board we dont have here..
similar but not quite the same when you get technical.

Alicez, you are right about the firmware. I was mistaken on that one. Looks like you have the latest.
By now you are probably trying to find a case to put it in? I found a great one that just barely fits at amazon.com. It is made by USAgear - neoprene black.
I'm trying to figure out whether or not a ROM still exists that was a port of the ASUS Transformer 3.1 ROM. The last time I looked into the Iconia, there was no topic for the Iconia at the time and only two ROMs that I could come across. One was the Virtuoso Picasso and the other might have been PRIME, but I can't be sure.
I'm strongly considering getting a Iconia over the Transformer, but I would very much be interested in finding a port of the Transformer OS if that is still an option, or at the very least ports of the office app, weather app, and live wallpaper.
Also, if a ROM port does exist, does it support the landscape/portrait lock switch?
Thanks for all your help in advance.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. Not too sure if I want to give up the Dolby Digital, but I might also look into ports of the widgets and wallpaper just in case.
with Virtuous Picasso 1.05 iirc you had a choice, Acer, or Asus build, but it's no longer available. I think I have a copy saved though?
What is the best 3.2 Rom currently for A500?
There supposedly is only the
Virtuous Xoom
Asus Transformer-Prime
Asus modified
With Samsung coming out this week or next.
Thank you
The one that has worked the best for me is the asus one, the xoom one tends to lag sometimes

Yes it is.
I switched to prime yesterday and I doubt i'll go back to acer roms until we get a 3.2 rom for it. I like being able to see both internal and SD card when connected via usb. GPS is fast to lock!. Updated drivers for everything else....The ONLY cons are lack of the dolby feature (never used it) and the landscape/portrait lock button does nothing since the asus doesn't have it. That's it.... the pro's definitely outweigh the cons.
just make sure if you flash prime and don't have/want 3G to add the ro.carrier=wifi-only line to your build.prop to disable that piece of the os.

If you don´t use / need 3G, you can disable it by editing /system/build.prop and adding the line
ro.carrier=wifi-only
Seems that saves battery with 3G disabled...

Thank you all for your kind suggestions, though it is sad that many of the good Rom makers have either retired or left XDA.
Some of the Roms are very amazing and really want to say thank you to all the Rom developers to allow us to enjoy 3.2 before Acer has released it.
Fyi, there is a new one. A mod of PRIME 9. Using it right now and it has its hicups, but pretty solid.

The Camera works for me, though it is quite fuzzy. Which version of Prime are you on?

started with PRIMEE-P9 David's MOD v1, now using virtuous xoom. in either case, the camera app is unable to work with the rear facing camera (i only get a black screen). it works only with the front facing camera. the lightspeed 1.0.1 doesn't have this problem.
i flashed my tablet several times, followed the instructions to the letter, still the same thing. otherwise i'm pretty happy with the 3.2 custom roms.
hi does the usb works on this rom? And im using it and its far vetter than anytouch wiz rom out there, hands down for this rom the only question can i plug in a usb keyboard or pair a bluetooth keyboard or mouse ?
So I am getting a transformer for Christmas... Where should I start as of root and rom?

I am running the Prime 2.1.1 ROM and it's good. I have had trouble with the Revolution HD ROM (didn't restore apps automatically, Market crashes, some apps are shown as not compatible etc.). I will wait until the first ICS ROMs come out before I try anything new (e.g. the KRAKD ROM looks promising).
So maybe i play honeycomb and wait for the ICS roms to drop then cause that works

I have tried revolver, prime, and revolution HD for me revolution is the most stable and the battery is amazing on it. the only thing I don't like is how really stock it is. Revolver is really customizable rom you can do alot tweets but the battery drains fast. Well prime, I was getting alot of fc so I didn't play with it to much.
Sent from eee pad Transformer running Revolution HD 2.2.1
First off, make sure that you always make a backup of what you have working on the tablet. This will save you much frustration if something goes wrong. Nandroid backups are the ones that will restore a whole ROM for you. As for backing up apps with data, you can use Titanium Backup (requires root).
The two main firsts are that you should get it rooted (very easy now) and install CWM (Clockwork Recovery Mod). CWM will allow you to flash ROMs, make backups of the ROM itself and handle various memory functions.
Read through the Stickies in the Android Dev section, they will tell you all information you need to know.
As mentioned above, if you run into any kind of issue, before you post, use the search function and see if it is something that has been asked and answered before. If you are following the steps to whatever you are doing and you get stuck, chances are good someone else has done the same thing and gotten help with it.
Another thing to note is when you choose a ROM, look through its feature list, and if available, the bug list. Looking through both of those should aid you in deciding if that specific ROM or Kernel is something you want to use. If you get as far as flashing Kernels, make sure it is one that is compatible with the ROM you are using, otherwise the tablet probably won't boot and you'll have to flash a Kernel known to work with whichever ROM you chose.
Read thru the stickies above.
First thing you'll need to do is check the serial number on it and make sure you even have the choice of rooting it. AFAIK, most serials after the B60 series have a locked bootloader that hasn't been cracked yet. I hope I'm wrong, but I haven't read anything to the contrary yet.

I just purchased a Motorola Xoom. I figured as everything I have read, it is the best tablet thus far, I should dive in. I started with a dell streak 5" phone/tablet, and then graduated to a Dell Streak 7" tablet, but the random reboots were killing me, not to mention Dells lack of support (if there ever really was some in the first place.
I've read about the new tegra quad core devices coming out soon, but figured it would be a year or so after they are introduced before the capabilities of that tablet could be fully utilized, and seeing the pages upon pages of support for an already well established device, the Xoom, here I am joining your ranks.
Tracking shows it is out for delivery so I'm giddy with excitement! I'm a true tech-hound, so I am pretty sure most of you understand what I'm saying.
Any suggestions right off the bat? I'd hate to dive in like every other tablet I've used and overlook something.
I also ordered the HD speaker dock. any thoughts on that as well?

If you plan to root your Xoom, it won't matter what version you have because all wifi-only Xooms have the same hardware. They are all wingray devices as far as I know, and can flash the Team EOS ICS wingray rom.
Tried this, but I can't even get clock work mod to install. I keep getting an error message saying device is still locked... looks like I have alot of reading to do to figure this out. I",m very familiar with fastboot & CWM, but a new device is a.always a news device. Any advice would be greatly appreciated...

You would have to do unlock first...
To do this you would need the fastboot drivers from motodev (don't just install drivers from moto, you need the motodev ones).
After you have the drivers and adb setup, then you can boot your device to the bootloader using adb reboot bootloader
then after your device entered the bootloader and your computer registered it, then type fastboot oem unlock on the adb
then follow on screen instructions on your tablet to get it unlocked.
Once unlocked you are ready to flash the trivial stuff.
I unlocked, installed CWM and rooted my WiFi Xoom using this tutorial. Can highly recommend it.
that´s true,
i unlocked my new xoom with universal root -> dev section
flashed CWM - and then flashed a lot of nightly´s
now i am on EOS 1.0 and it rocks!
Hooray! I found a post that explains how to change the OS to a US version here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166106&highlight=mz604+unlock
I researched how to unlock the bootloader, and once done, I followed these instructions. It put me back to the original honeycomb, and then after 4 updates, I am now on the stock version of ICS.
I'm very excited!
I'm going to play with this to get used to it, but everywhere i read it seems that the ROM Team Eos ICS 1.0.0, is the way to go.
Can anyone tell me why?

Hooray! I found a post that explains how to change the OS to a US version here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166106&highlight=mz604+unlock
I researched how to unlock the bootloader, and once done, I followed these instructions. It put me back to the original honeycomb, and then after 4 updates, I am now on the stock version of ICS.
I'm very excited!
I'm going to play with this to get used to it, but everywhere i read it seems that the ROM Team Eos ICS 1.0.0, is the way to go.
Can anyone tell me why?

EOS ICS Rom 1.0.0 is very stable and very full-featured. You will be blown away.
guys one question but it´s a little off topic:
would you recommend to buy the xoom or wait for the new quadcore tablets ( like asus or huawei ).
I mean the xoom is already one year old and costs about 380€ for the 3g version...
thanks in advance!

I thought about this exact situation extensively before I bought my Xoom (wingray) two weeks ago. My final selling point is that the Xoom is a year old, so all of the bugs have been worked out, multiple stable working ROM's are available, and it is updated with ICS! I realize there are newer tablets out there, with quad core processors, and I'm sure they are fantastic! But the Xoom is fantastic in & of itself! I may upgrade in another year or two, but the Xoom is an incredible device and I've tried multiple tablets, from the dell streak 5, 7 & iPad 2 to the kindle fire, and I love my xoom the most!
