Hey all,
Anyone make a list of the new apks in 3.1? It would be nice if you rooted guys could back up some of those so us non-xoom HC tablets users could try and install some of them.
Not development. Moved to Q&A.

I am sorry if these questions have been asked before. I am brand new to rooting and flashing roms.
I am currently running Mikfroyo version 4.5. I love the theming that has been done to the android market and the gmail app.
So I lost the theme for the android market randomly, is there anyway to restore this without reflashing everything?
Second, there is an update to the gmail app, version 2.3.4, while mikfroyo comes with a themed 2.3.2. If I update the gmail app, I loose the theming. Is there anyway to update and keep the theming, or do I have to wait tell the next release of the rom?
As an extra question, where do I get the chogardjr Blue Theme? If i click the link in the Mikfroyo post, I get denied the download.
Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.
thank you so much
The market probably updated itself. You should be able to go into settings > applications > manage applications > all, find the market & uninstall updates.
EDIT: And some actions like posting in development & downloading certain things require at least 10 (non-spam) posts. Just answer some questions & say thanks a couple times and you'll be there soon.
First of all, I would like to thank in advance the guys who answer my questions.
1)I ve read some threads about Xoom and I see most of you are in 3.2 and in Europe we don't have even 3.1 . How can I make it to be a US version to get the updates? Is it safe or should I wait?
2)My first priority is to find a way to root my device. I saw a one-click root way but the files are offline from xda and it says that it has issues with EUR versions. Whats your advice? Can you help me with the steps because I dont have much android knowledge?
3)Whats your opinion about custom roms for Xoom and how can I flash from 3.01?
Thanks again, and if you have any suggestions on what apps you love using in your xoom it would be great
Apps go the apps section and read.
Changing to us version and flashing roms etc go to the development section and read.
You clearly don't like to chat m8, If I found a topic for EUR but the links are offline as I said before. There are people who like to share their knowledge thats why its a q/a thread and not app section or dev section.

Hi there, welcome to the Xoom family.
Like every family, some members like to talk and others don't.
It's true that the threads you want are mostly in the Development section.
Since you are on Wifi only it should be pretty easy for you to flash the US wifi image (you will actually find that in the 1st post in General) but you should read a bit just to make sure you know what steps to take. Also, language packs are available if you need a language other than English, French or Spanish, but there may be some complications.
I would advise you against using any type of one click rooting method. The Xoom is easy to unlock and root, but is more complicated than many phones. On the plus side, it's pretty hard to brick as long as you follow instructions. Prepare to use adb and you'll do fine. Once you've unlocked and flashed the US image, you will get the OTA updates as soon as you are on a wifi connection. This is where you need to see which rooting method will be best for you. You will need to install the Tiamat Clockwork Mod Recovery 3.2.0.0 (from solarnz's thread) so you can flash from the micro sdcard) There are ways to root from 3.0, 3.1 and from 3.2. Head over to the Development section and look for what you want. Once you are rooted, check out the Team Tiamat Xoom Rom 2.0 Manta Ray. It really rocks. You will have to wipe user data for many of these steps, so don't bother with setting up more than you have to until you are at you final destination, so to speak.
Good luck!
Hey all,
I purchased a UK WiFi Only Xoom today, its running 3.0.1 im wondering what the best way is and what method I should use to go up to the most stable 3.2 ROM that is overclocked?
If you have a link to the best guide to follow or any suggestions please post them.
Thanks!
Well if it were me, I'd firsts change the region to US that way you'll always be up to date.
Here's the URL (copy into browser): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166106
Looks like a decent guide and once you get done with this, you can start flashing up to date roms and whatnot.
Hope this helps
Well first off claim your free keyboard, best to do that now before you mess your xoom up changing regions. motorolaxoompromotion.co.uk . Then root and go with hammerhead from team tiamat, they really are the best for making one flashable update for everyone! If you are new to android search and read about all this first!
Excuse typos, I'm on my phone
Edit: and when I say mess your xoom up, I mean it has to be done from a stock UK zoom, I did it by changing user agents in Firefox, as outlined by another thread here, but to do it now would be easiest.

Hi,
I have Froyo installed on my Galaxy 3 right now but it crashes too often and is slow, it also have lots of "Orange" apps and theming, was installed a year go maybe.
I checked this sticky post, but i'm completely new to the Android scene so I'm not sure which of the available ROMS is the most stable and fast for daily use. I guess ICS and gingerbread are out of the question, so can someone please suggest the best Froyo ROM.
Thanks
