Root? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've just recently got a xoom and I like the tablet as a whole. But I've been unimpressed with the amount of lag,especially In the web browser. I know I can overclock the cpu to 1.5 ghz and can overclock the gpu but I'm clueless about adb and all that stuff. I've read the threads and downloaded the files and still don't really get it. Any suggestions. Also I'm not an android noob lol I've successfully rooted a OG droid and droid charge

You will be happy once you've rooted. Just take your time and make sure you have everything ready. Practice manually rebooting/booting into recovery--get a good feeling for using the volume/power buttons. You will be fine.

Ok cool

Alright, boot animations?

Our Kernels now have support for them, right? Where is the location?
check /system/media/bootanimation.zip or /data/local/bootanimation.zip
This is what I got!
Check the boot animation locations in Q&A section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1233048
I want to know where to get more (different) boot animations.

Just manually move over the bootanimation.zip cause I think his install script needs to be modified.

There is plenty here to keep you swapping for some time. I used these on my fascinate and also on my charge once the kernel came out to have boot animations
Bad ass, thanks guys.

I just pasted the bootanimation.zip in both places, and it didn't work when I restarted; it just did the stock animation. What gives?

I personally don't like Imoseyons kernel. No custom boot anims(don't get me wrong the GC boot anims are great but still), overclocking(I will personally never use that feature) and some horrid battery life. Maybe it's just me but his kernel gave me attrocious battery life, took the phone off the charger @ 2am, flashed the ROM and the phone was dead by 8am. I normally get double that with much more usage.
I believe I read through the gc thread that you could oc. I could be wrong.

It can overclock, that's a downside for me since it decreases battery life if I'm never going to use it.

It replaces app_process and system_server binaries.
Installed on my Charge. Don't really notice a difference in responsiveness though, unfortunately YMMV.
I was hoping it'd make it as responsive as the LG Revolution :-D
It does work on gingerbread. I just flashed it through cwm without wipe. I am running gummycharged gbe rc2.3 . Running a good bit smoother since!

installed... now unable to open wi-fi radio?
Edit:
Rebooted: Wi-fi came back - both radios were acting strange on first boot up.
Strange, mine didn't give me any issue plus it shouldn't effect the radio at all. Glad you got it solved.
So, you're going to replace the two binary files in 2.3.4 with binaries from 2.3.3? Anyone else think that is a little strange? I'd hope that Google left the improvements made in the binaries in place between 2.3.3 and 2.3.4...
EDIT: I also would not flash that zip file. It does not have the proper updater-script in it. It may still work, but the updater-script should be corrected to ensure it works.

Its 2.3.5 binaries look at my first post, I linked it to his page. Just look at his change log. What I did is take the old Fugu tweaks and removed the files from the .rar and replaced it with the 2.3.5 files. I am running Froyo and before this I had the fascinate and used Fugu tweaks on 2.2 as well as the captivate. Whats wrong with the update script? If it worked with the old Fugu why wouldn't it work to flash the same files?

Will this tweak wipe anything out? No.
Will the recovery for GB cause your phone to wipe? Maybe depending on what recovery you have. Last I remember there was a fix for that, I dont have GB therefore I am not to sure.
It works on humble 1.6 but the boot animation is black. Just wait for a few minutes on the black screen and it will boot normally.

Yeah seems to work great. Flashed in CWM, using the latest Ep1W rom. What exactly does this do? I already have loopy smoothness and V6 installed, just wasn't sure what else it does beyond that.

@droidnewb2000 yes it works but itll break the boot animation, I dont know why it does it.
@phillthedrill this replace the binary files with files from Honeycomb which are more responsive, the files are app_process and system_server.
@Grillrd sorry you dont see much of a difference. I notice a huge improvement and so does my girlfriends Inspire 4G and friend Infuse 4G.
@DirgeExtinction thanks for the feedback, I have updated my first post to let everyone know.

Damn man, sorry to hear that but it seems like your the only one it caused this problem for. Ive tried this many times... The most i can say is wipe, install the rom and let it fully boot up. Then flash fugu. This tweak is universal and MANY people without charges use this tweak without problems.
I'm running Humble 1.51 with Voodoo and Super Charged V6, so my phone already feels snappy. However, I ran Linpack prior to flashing. My scores ranged from high 15's to low 16's. After flashing, Linpack consistently gave me scores in the 18 sec range. That is with NO overclocking, as I'm using the PBJ kernel. This was an easy to use, worthwhile mod imo.

Prior Droid 3 users: Questions

Hello all. My wife is finally leaving Blackberry for Android. Since she is so used to having a physical keyboard, she opted for the Droid 3 as her first foray into Android since it has both touch and the physical keyboard. All I've ever owned are Samsung Android phones so I'm inexperienced with rooting and cwm on these phones. I plan to peruse the Droid 3 section tonight to attempt to get up to speed but was hoping for some quick tips and guides from my friendly Samsung brothers.
Also, is it true that once you root and do cwm and all that that the phone can't be unrooted and returned to stock? Does it permanently void your warranty. Trying to determine if its worth even doing it for this phone since my wife really isn't a power user but if its possible to go back to stock than I will do it.
Just looking for any tips and suggestions/help to get me jumpstarted tomorrow. Thanks much.

I was talking about the charge. To get back to full stock on a moto device, you need rsd lite 5.31 and the appropriate sbf file, all which can be found at the droid 3 forum.

I've never ran a mod or any custom tweaks like that. So i can't help you on that end. when i say right setup i pretty much mean controlling the CPU limits, having data off when not needed, shutting down wifi or data when screen is off and lowering CPU output while screen is off.
