Hi there i have been coming here for a while reading at everyones posts and help regarding rooting xoom's... so with all the great feedback the members have given to the users who designed a very easy HOW TO guide on how to root and flash your xoom... I FINALLY DID IT!!!!!! was very easy, i currently have a xoom MZ601 which i rooted with a breeze the put clockwork 3.2.0.0 & flashed to ICS...
Was just curious to know can anyone direct me to a place where i can find alot of themes and customizations for it as i really want to make it look awesome.
Also just another quick question, when i flashed my xoom i originally installed clockwork 4.0.4 how i had to get v3.2.0.0 because 4.0.4 would not pick up the micro SD card to flash to ICS, Is there a version of clockwork i need to have specifically for the xoom. it is a US version and the ICS versio n i got my hand on was Team EOS 3G everest 4.0.4, is that the right ICS i sould have for my xoom mz601, all the help i can get would be most appreciated as i very new to all this. cheers in advanced.

Hi Guys, I have rooted my Xoom, I need some help on overclocking.
How do I overclock, do I need a tiamat ROM / Kernel?
Please can someone give me steps on how to do this, searching high and low for a solution.
Thanks for your help

You need to flash either the Tiamat or LaunchPad kernel.
Find their threads in the Xoom Dev forum and follow the very simple instructions.
I found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978013&highlight=TIAMAT
But it says must have android version 3.1 only. I have 3.0.1
Also does the taimat kernel have to be flashed using an sd card and does the recovery tool have to be flashed or can this be left out?
I found this http://www.android.net/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=43 , will this work with uk xooms or is their a specific tiamat for US/UK versions
Thanks for your help
Ok so I need taimat version 1.4.1 as this is compatable with android 3.0.1.
Will the taimat 1.4.1 be ok with the 3g uk version?
So i need to install CWM by using adb to flash it to xoom -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074979
I can then get a microsd and put the taimat 1.4.1 kernel on there, and install it that way.
Is this right?
Thanks
I used the Euro 3g thread to bring mine up to 3.1, then flashed the new kernal, then pushed back over the files from step 4 of the Euro thread.
3g works but I dont have an SDCard...:/
I have a European 3G Xoom, which ICS version shall I flash, if I'd like to get some 4.0 fun? I know that 3G won't work, but I don't want to brick my Xoom, better ask before.

I have a US 3G XOOM that hasn't been upgraded to 4G and I flashed the 4G ROM which caused an issue with the radio staying awake non stop searching for a signal. This ate battery like crazy. The EOS dev suggested that I flash the WiFi version of the ROM and it worked like a charm. That is, of course, if you don't use your 3G and run WiFi only all the time like I do. Otherwise, you're out of luck for now until someone cooks up a ROM specifically for 3G devices. Also, you need to make sure it would even work for non US XOOMs first, obviously.
I'm not sure if the devs even read this section, but if you don't get an answer from one here, you should PM them or ask in one of their threads. They've been very helpful to me and answered every question I needed help with. I hope you get it worked out. It's an excellent ROM.
Thanks, I was thinking about trying the wifi version. But I better ask before. I had some bad luck recently flashing 4.0 on my Nexus S. So I prefer asking before doing.
I have been running the EOS wingray rom and so far everything is stable and working except the faceunlock and silly faces effect. Check it out.
this Rom is realy good but you need fastboot to install it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443220
and you have to use a alternate recovery.img,

zip the universal xoom root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242241
and zip the G-Apps (if you want to use the Market and other Google Apps)

It runs on my 601 like Hell
I flashed ICS (WiFi only) on my MZ601. While all run wells, I am unable to go back to Honeycomb. My tablet model (in About Tablet) is now Xoom instead of MZ601. Unable to flash the system.img file using Fastboot.
So in case you'd like to go back to Honeycomb to collect an OTA update to ICS, it might be an issue.
It has arrived ... work VERY well.

It's quite same like Acer A500
for 3.2 there is no really simple way, but this is not that bad eather, here is what I did:
1) donwgrade using this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1276227 (edit: or maybe this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307539 I dont remember, only neded think there is, that you need to add something at some point in front of the serial)
but with EUUs_PB_G100W_1.007.03_COM_GEN1 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
(well...its just download PC drivers from PB site, enable usb something (debugging or waht?) in tablet, find out serial number, run euu)
2) root it using iconiaroot
3) install CWM and flash whatever ROM you like, I used Taboonay 2.2
edit: I used taboonay cause my Huawei 3g dongle works with it
Hi there,
i was wondering if there are any new methods to root a Packard Bell Liberty Tab?
Also i wanted to tell you guys, that you can download the source code of both kernel (Honeycomb 3.0 and 3.2) on the support page from packard bell.
Maybe someone can use that for recovery.
Also i wanted to ask you guys, which ROM is the best for the Liberty Tab (maybe with support for Keyboard which works via a Bluetooth dongle)?
Hopfully someone will answer me
Thanks in advance

I`m quite happy there is a forum for liberty tab on xda
Thete is one on android hilfe too
The best ROM is for me tegraowners ICS!!!
Civato the creator of FLEXREAPER uses liberty tab him self. His ROM is nice too! But at the and it is allways a question of personal taste... .

I recently bought an Acer Iconia A200 tablet. The first night i got it I was suprised to find that it was pre-installed with Honeycomb 3.2.1 instead of Ice Cream Sandwhich which was released for this table months ago! When i would go to About tablet<software update, it would never find an update. I, being the noob I am, figured I'd just root it and install ICS. I learned the hard way that doesnt work. The simpleroot method is only for ICS 4.0.3 so when I used it on my A200 running HC 3.2.1, it soft bricked. leaving me having to go into fastboot and manually flash the Honeycomb boot.img because i couldnt flash roms through CWM (because of no root). This got my Tablet booting finally but left it stuck on Honeycomb 3.2.1 with the bootloader 3.1.3. Leaving me unable to update to ICS and unable to root (from my understanding) Are there any talented Dev's out there willing to help me possibly downgrade my bootloader or go some route of fixing my device so i can root and install CM9? If anyone can help please reply or shoot me a PM and we can hop on an IRC channel! Thanks in advance!
update?

There are some very nice and stable ICS ROMs for the A501. There is also a stable, but not quite complete Jelly Bean ROM which I am running. (JB 4.1.2) The two best places to get an ICS ROM and support is Moscow Desire's Evil Alex ROM (hosted on xda), which I understand is based on the stock Acer ICS ROM... however, you will need to upgrade your bootloader to an ICS bootloader. That can be scary for someone new to flashing. An alternative is TegraOwner's ROMs built by Thor and Digitex, which can run with your current Honeycomb bootloader or a custome ICS bootloader, if you wish.
I used to ron Moscow Desire's 3.2 ROM which was very nice. I never have tried his ICS ROMs. I pretty much stick with the TegraOwner's ROMs now because they are well fast, feature packed, stable, and well supported. If you want to run one of Thor's ROMs, you will need to upgrade your CWM Recovery to Touch Recovery v1.7.3. You can find this and all of Thor's stuff on the TegraOwner's site, as well as a lot of support in the forums at forums.tegraowners.com
The final and most stable ICS ROM for the Acer A500/A501 is the TegraOwners ICS v170. If you would like the newer Jelly Bean ROM based on CyanogenMod 10 and Thor and Digitex custom kernel, you can it and support here: forum.tegraowners.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=680
(You'll have to copy/paste the links into your browser since xda is preventing me from creating links due to my low post count)
The Jelly Bean ROM is real fast and stable. They are still working on gps, hdmi, and a few smaller issues. They will get them ironed out soon. Hope this helps.
