This will probably sound like such a n00b question but will ask it anyway.
I've read about how some of the newer phones can have different roms load on boot for testing purposes. I wanted to know if the Motorola Xoom WiFi edition can do the same and if so, can someone direct me to instructions?
I bought the my Xoom when it first came out. I have not heard of multi-boot for the Xoom. It does sound interesting.
Doesn't exist yet.

Im just curious as to what my first move should be with it. I know for starters you have to root it. What else am I looking at as far as changing roms and such.
Im coming from the captivate forum and things were very easy to mod that phone.
Any help would be appreciated.
thank you

I flashed my Samsung Galaxy 3 from Indroid 3.0 to 4.0 a couple of hours ago. When i receive a call and accept it, the quality is really bad. I just can't have a conversation.
Someone knows a solution?
There is no galaxy 3, 3.0 phone roms or android 4.0 yet.....
I believe you may need another form of help......

I think you misread.
try flashing another radio...it might help.
Another thing you might want to try is to make a phone cal to anyone...when answered, press the speaker phone button and the hang up...that might help.
I'm sorry, I did misread it. That's what I get for posting about a phone I'm not familiar with, lol. Thanks for pointing that out.

Based on feature set, availability and price my reasearch has led me to this phone with the RAZR as a second choice(pentile screen, waker battery, no FM). The RAZR has better development though(incl kexec). I'm hoping to run ICS as a daily driver in the very near future and JB/CM10 down the line. What do you think?
Price-wise it's the best phone you can get. I myself owned a HTC magic and then a nexus one and can confirm that the build quality is solid. Webtop is also a great feature.
Rom-wise we've stock/modded ICS and soon ported CM10. But don't expect to unlock the bootloader. If you can live with it, buy it

Keep in mind, this is one persons opinion, but personally, I love this phone. We have 2 ICS Leaks, and CM10 is right around the corner.
It's mainly your preference, but i'd say just to be sure you want this phone, read all that you can from this forum.

Cool. How does the Boot menu manager work for multiple Roms on one phone?

Bootmenu is great man. With it, you can essentially dual boot so to speak. Check the thread out, it tells you ALMOST everything you need to know. Something's you can read around the forums and find answers to. I've become pretty familiar with it, so if you have any specific questions feel free to ask me.
Also others are here to help too
By the way, just a heads up, this should be in Q&A

Thread Move in progress.
Oh, BTW, threw a couple thanks to you 2 for great advice to the new people. Way to go!
If you can live with a locked bootloader I don't see why not, the specs are decent, screen size is pretty good and overall quality is nice. We have ICS (leak), a few custom roms, and CM10 is being worked on (I believe camera isn't working just yet). Mine is currently softbricked because I got into a bootloop and my battery is low , but that's easy to fix once I can charge the battery, which I'm being patient with and not doing anything risky and potentially harmful to the battery or phone. In conclusion, if the price is right, it's a pretty decent phone, with a locked bootloader (Always a catch)
Hmm. How about making a bounty or making a collection for a donor device to a dev? Just thinking out loud...
The only feature I'm missing that a custom kernel might solve is 2-way call recording. I think...

We have a bounty for someone who can unlock the bootloader. And yea custom kernels and all that jazz would require an unlocked bootloader.

You won't be disappointed. This is only the second phone I've owned in 16 years that I haven't wanted to destroy after a couple months of use.
Is the lack of support from Motorola annoying? Sure, but the amount of support from the developers and everyone in this community is all you will need. Whether you stay on Gingerbread or upgrade to the ICS leak, there are plenty of amazing ROMS and mods to play with.
Just make sure you read through the forums (especially the stickies) and familiarize yourself with phone and the community.

Thanks guys. At least ICS leaks point to official release in the works unlike my other Motos.
damn, i was just about to sell you mine :laugh:
This is a sweet phone why do you want to sell it?
I'm sort of new to Android and I currently have a lg vs910. I love the phone my only problem with it is there are only a couple of custom roms running on it. Don't get me wrong I love the broken out 2.0.1 and mtmichaelson did a great job. But I'm almost due for an upgrade and I want a good phone that has a few more options for custom roms. I know this question is sort of opinion based but that's what I want please let me know you're opinions.

Galaxy S3 has great options!

Thank you. I kind of thought that would be most peoples answer but wanted to see If someone would mention a phone I haven't yet heard of. Thank you for the quick response though.
I had previously had a Motorola Droid X and HTC Thunderbolt and neither of them could come close to the number of choices and fast updates that I have been able to get with my Galaxy S3. Its amazing when you consider the Verizon model shipped with a locked boot loader. I had Jelly Bean on my S3 before the VZW Nexus got the update officially. Plus the hardware is great!

I would say the HTC Evo 4g because it has been around since 2010, and there are still roms being developed for it.
sorry but the galaxy nexus no one considers, in addition to being a great device brings several customizations ... (this is my thought)
I have a samsung galaxy s more than 2 years now. Great device while many, many custom roms available. And they are stable too!
My next device will be a Samsung again. I am in doubt wether it will be S3 or Note.
The galaxy nexus GSM hands down. The Nexus 4 is also going to follow up with the same level of development when it is released

I have seen that ubuntu is now available on phone, and i really liked how it looked.
And i think it would be great to run it.
But i dont know how well it would run on my phone.
Has anybody installed ubuntu on their razr hd?
How does it feel, does it work.
I think ubuntu would work perfectly on the razr hd since it has no buttons and that what i think ubuntu on phones is all about.
Any help is apreciatted.
Btw this is my first post.
Wasnt too sure where to post it
Sent from my XT925 using Tapatalk 2
Isn't the first release only for the GNex and its mostly for development... consumer release will come later in 2013 or 2014 (according to Android authority)

Well i dont really know.
But after looking up more info i realized that it wasnt realesed yet.
i tried deleting this post but couldnt.
Well anyways i hope it gets to the razr hd.
I really want to try it out.
Lucky nexus phones always getting things before everybody else.

Any efforts porting Ubuntu to Razr HD?

Hey guys!
Does anyone know if there is a Ubuntu port for the Razr HD in progress?
I dont find any information about ubuntu and the razr
Why are so many devices already supported but not yet a sign from the razr hd?
Locked bootloader probably. This does have one right?
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2
it has but you can unlock it - as far as i know.
are there any other problems that may prevent the razr to get ubuntu?

The n7 is already fully supported by ubuntu... to be exact all recent nexus devices. First step for a successful port is a cm10.1 kernel for the target device. It does not need to be full blown, as a lot of functions aren't neccessary for Ubuntu, and requires some modification. (e.g. no Dalvik - theres no VM eh )
