Just picked up the new Xoom family edition today and am loving it. I was wondering if anyone else has one yet and if it is rootable or able to do ROMs yet?

It doesn't appear to be unlockable, therefore not rootable. But who knows...someone is probably looking for a way around it. If you want a great modable machine, I would recommend the original Xoom. If you basically want a solid media-friendly tab with a nice screen and nice form factor, keep your Xoom Family Media Edition. Glad you're enjoying it.
Cool, thanks for the reply. It seems this is not a popular device at the moment. I do love this tab and hope some devs pick up intrest.

Christmas is this week and where I live there's very few choices on tablets THAT I KNOW OF!
I need a bunch of suggestions for CHEAP tablets. Tablets that last a while.
Tablets I've looked at:
- Amazon Kindle Android
- Nook
- Cruz Android Tablet[Sucked]
- Samsung Galaxy Tab
My budget is $200, I've got to make a good choice because I turn 21 next year and my parents have threatened to stop buying gifts for me.
Thanks.

Moving to Q&A
If u have a little more cash u can buy a better tab like the Asus transformer. The kindle is a great choice for a low end tab. I would stick with the kindle and I am not so sure u can get the galaxy tab for $200. Merry Christmas and don't forget to hit the thanks button if I helped.

With a $200 budget you could look into an HP Touchpad on Craig's List. Ships with WebOS, and it's super easy to intall Android in a dual boot configuration.
I got mine for $175.

Sounds like it'd be worth a look at. I've got $50 and my parents are willing to sport me a few hundred.
I looked at the Transformer and it's WAY too much out of my price range. I'm wanting a device that has FULL DEV SUPPORT.

The thing I was curious about with the Touchpad was could I install any other ROM except CM7 I personally strongly dislike the CyanogenMod ROMs myself
Sent from my LG-P925 using Tapatalk
I haven't seen any other Android ROMs aside from CM7. But, I love CM7 so I haven't really looked for anything else.

I've been told that you can just about load ANY ROM on the Touch Pad

Any ROM that's based on CM7, all 2 of them.
TouchPad? Awesome. Buggy gingerbread on a 10" screen? Meh. I think webOS is better than 2.3 on a tablet. When ICS is finished the TouchPad, that's a show stopper.
For $200 you can't beat the TouchPad. I looked at getting a Kindle Fire, Nook Tablet of Color, or Vizio vtab, and came to the conclusion after using all of them the Kindle fire was the best value and smoothest experience, but pales in comparison to webOS on the TouchPad.

Hi, im on the verge of a deal for the sale of my galaxy note.
Im looking to get an atrix 2. I like the look of the lapdock. Hows the UI on that thing?
Question is........where can I get one in the uk and how much should I be paying for a new one and how much for a mint second hand one?
And the atrix 2 doesnt even show up on the product list on the motorola uk website!?
Thanks in advance.

Read the beginner's guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396650) to get an idea of where development for this phone is first. Locked bootloader (with no change in sight), an ICS update which has been moved from Q3 to an indefinite point in the future - it seems like Moto is trying to let this phone quietly die. If you're okay with that then sure, go for it... personally, I would opt for something made by a different company.
Locked down bootloader!
Enough said. I will give it a miss.
Thanks.

Glad I could help... I wish I had known when I bought the phone.
Be glad to trade my Atrix 2 for the Note!!!!!

Kinda figured this would happen. Now if HTC was a decent company they would still release their source...but we all know they wont.
Im not all expecting to see an official release but that site is about the most vague pile of crap ever. I cant help but doubt the validity of anything posted there.

Wow that read like the old I heard from my brother sisters cousin twice removed. If there was an email why not post it in the article?
So you needed an unknown site to tell you this? You couldn't take the hints over the months with delay after delay?
Hey I heard from a friend London bridge just fell down lol.

Yeah, that site is not reliable by any means...
Though I personally doubt to see an official ICS launch for the Thunderbolt.

Someone doesn't know what the word "official" means. Hint: an official statement regarding the HTC Thunderbolt won't be written by a Jr. High School kid.

Isn't technobloom the site that told us all Amazon was going to sell the Thunderbolt for free starting at 3AM one day?
Anyway, the Galaxy Nexus is cheap as ever now, go for it, I mean the Nexus one just got a 4.2 custom ROM, imagine how far along the GalNex will get!

I never really expected this to happen after observing all the work from the devs on it. ICS has always ran kinda wishy washy for me. I mean it works and all, but there are definitely some performance issues and bugs no matter which rom you use. Verizon nor HTC intends to release a shoddy product. It either has to work 100% or not at all. If ICS cant run as well as GB did, then it aint gonna happen.
I wish I had a dollar for all the false rumors that have been posted about ICS, I'd buy Verizon and have enough left over to keep me in booze and hookers for the rest of my life!
I think this is one more dollar in my stash....

If that were the case though, the thunderbolt would've ran well from launch day, which anyone who had one since then will say that it didn't. Originally the battery life was horrendous and had to be fixed by an OTA.

NO ICS
just called HTC ,,, and they told me , that we are not getting ics,,, htc thunderbolt is discontinued,,,, :crying:
We could call and email different reps at HTC and we would get a slew of different responses from them all. Stuff like this no one will know the correct answer as tech support as we all know is the last to know.
Sent from my ThunderBolt using Tapatalk 2
So let's see if I understand this... the OFFICIAL WORD from Verizon AND from HTC is that the Thunderbolt will or will not get ICS and will get it within the next two days or later than that or never.
Does that about cover it? <G>
Honestly, I don't see what all the flap is about? ICS doesn't offer anything I need or want other than (I HOPE!) a better kernel for the Devs to work with.
Meanwhile, NuSense works for me and the BAMF leak works for me if I want ICS and, if I want Gingerbread, Infected ROM works for me and Thunderstick BB works for me along with a bunch of other ROMs I've tried.
Was at Verizon today, Reps informed me there will be no ICS for our phones...Cant say I'm surprised...my upgrade is in January, not going to worry about it .. Can't believe they state we would get the upgrade, then renege ..
If Apple can upgrade their older model Iphones for several years , why can' t our Android phones do the same.. and no I'm not switching..

I have two P6800s one for me and one for she who must be obeyed and both are fantastic devices. i believe it is one of the more flexible for use devices on the market. I sourced both of mine from http://www.onthegosolutions.com/. If there are any available that is another source. just looked at the website and he shows 699.00 for a new one. Over the years have bought about 8 different phones and never had a problem. Best of luck finding what you want. BTW i use 64 g cards in both so have plenty of memory and storage.

Could be some users that couldn't wait anymore after the Jelly Bean ROM...
I guess Amazon is serious enough to not let their customers selling crappy products... ^^
EDIT : Battery is very good and as a phone also even though a bit too big...
But you can use a wired headset or a BT version...

Not in a million years. I'd rather have the 2012 model anyway, though.

A lot of things should be and probably will be better than the RAZR HD with the X. But after all your current isn't that bad though other brand owners will tell u it's rubbish Not going to get the option in the UK
Sent from my XT925 using xda premium
I don't think I would trade my MAXX HD in right now, but I can tell you I hope some of the devs are able to port the firmware over. While I doubt I would use touchless controls, the new notification system is something I can see myself using a lot.
i guess two questions pop into my head...why would you want to, and why should they?
If you complain enough you *might* be able to get a alternate device swap for it but it would be rough. If you have an unlocked bootloader on your HD you are giving that up as the Moto X on Verizon does not have an unlocked bootloader. The dev version will though.
I guess the way I look at it is the Razr HD will eventually get 4.2.2 or 4.3 and if I cant wait i will just enjoy CyanogenMod until they do. Now if you have a regular Razr HD and not the MAXX and you have a locked bootloader or dont care about locked bootloaders then go for the X. Just complain enough and they will probably let you switch. I would wait a month though after its released to try as you dont get a new X or any new device as you only get refurbs. Have to give time for refurbs to show up in order for them to think about switching you.
I complained alot and they kept asking me to send my phone for repair. After three sends, I gave up, unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom rom. No more over heating issues now.
