No it doesnt require root, but it does require that you unlock your xoom to be able to flash the new boot.img. But the kernel will allow you to have root, but doesnt require it.

UPDATE: I got a female to female usb coming overnight so I will be able to test it out tomorrow. I am also working with a few people on a custom rom, but that is a different project that should have something out in a week or so.
[Xoom General] ocdtrekkie:
Isn't the PS3 controller Bluetooth based? IE... something that would make far more sense to develop support for Xoom?
[Xoom General] jeston:
Maybe, except for the people who want to use an Xbox 360 controller and not a PS3 controller ;)
[Xoom General] cesarcerros31:
Agreed I feel that the Xbox is much better feeling

sent from my HTC evolution running a freshly baked gingerbread with the 4gs in it
[Xoom General] ocdtrekkie:
But having to have an adapter, a rooted device (I prefer to remain stock), and a cord... is pretty meh compared to being able to do what I can do with any WiiMote anywhere I happen to be. Just pick it up, sync it, and go. I kinda hope a PS3 controller IME shows up sometime. :/
[Xoom General] ThaDSman:
I thought the ps3 was using a non standard bluetooth protocol...
[Xoom General] thegeektern:
I think the problem with the ps3 is how to connects, it does use bluetooth but I think is pairs using the usb which would mean we would need some kind of app to talk to it like the ps3 does and pass along the right information, I could be wrong on this too. Also I know you can use the wiimote with android, but for me there is nothing like a real controller. Also we should stop asking why we do the stuff we do and start asking why not, hey in time why not be able to use the wii/xbox/ps3 controllers to play classic games, give people options to use which ever they have or like best.

Ok now an update, fedex lost the package and Amazon has refunded me the money so I need to reorder the female to female adapter. If there is anyone who has the needed cable and the controller, tell me and I will send over the working boot.img for you to test. Everything is ready to go just waiting on testing at this point.

:D

I'll get one this weekend as I need to pick up a microHDMI cable :D
[Xoom General] Sodikop:
I have an un-touched WiFi Xoom, Xbox 360 wireless controller, plus the corresponding wireless dongle. I can grab the adapter tonight (maybe..), so if testing is still needed feel free to PM me.

Either way, this will be awesome, once we get some games that really could benefit from a controller (other than emu's).
[Xoom General] jeston:
Are you sure a simple female to female cable is going to work? I know some people in the USB host thread tried them and they didn't work, at least not for USB memory sticks (granted that's a whole different beast).
[Xoom General] thegeektern:
A female to female should work as the cable really isn't anything special, from what i can see, it is just a micro USB cable with a female end? I guess i have not seen anyone really try it yet. I personally can't see why it wouldn't work, now u have me wondering what the difference would be? Does anyone know what could be different in the 2 setup?
[Xoom General] davidhill21:
I looked up what kind of cable that's needed and it's different from what everyone has charging their stuff. You need a usb A male end that goes into the xoom. The micro USB cords have 5 prong compared to the normal four of a USB cord. The fifth prong is normally floating for most micro USB cords but for the USB A cords, they're grounded which triggers something in the xoom that tells it to be the host.
[Xoom General] thegeektern:
OK so u need one of those cables in order to do it a normal female to female will not work. OK well then looks like I am going to be order one from china. Also I got a tester which is testing it right now and it reporting that it is working and just working on the key bindings now. And for everyone else I am looking into adding support for the ps3 controller but it is going to br a little more complex.

I did check and a female to female will not work, it has to be a on the go USB cable, got to love Wikipedia. So I just got mine order from china, there was only a ground option not a overnight or 2nd day air. But like I said above i do have a tester now so things are moving along again, and hope to have something fully working in a week.

Now on the ps3 controller does anyone have a ps3, the otg cable, and a xoom. I and looking for someone to help out with getting it working and need them to help test.
[Xoom General] jeston:
Glad to hear it's working so far. What else needs to be worked on?

My cable should be here any day now, so I'll let you know when you have another tester.
[Xoom General] thegeektern:
Right now the 2 joysticks are not working and the 2 tiggers are not, along with the dpad, but everything e,se is working great. Yea my cable says 2 to 3 weeks, that's what I get for trying to get it faster. Also not that many people care but I did put in ntfs support for external flash drives but it was a request so I added it.
[Xoom General] jeston:
Awesome! Sounds like a damn good start!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanaamer86:
I have a factory unlocked streak froyo.

I wanted to change the rom and go to streakdroid 1.7.0

I rooted my streak using z4root, then flashed streakmod recovery using fastboot, and updated using update-1.7.0.zip. then i wiped/factory reset, and rebooted, the phone rebooted, and after a while just got hanged at the streakdroid logo. The home screen flashed for a second or two, but then again it went back to streakdroid logo, and nothing happened ahead. I tried to redo everything but nothing happened.

Before that, i tried to flash streakdroid 1.5.1 on it, but similar happened to 1.5.1 also. It got stuck at dell logo. I had flashed amss.mbn too, dont know where am i stucking.

As i was not getting any progress, installed stock froyo 318.

Should i go ahead with streakdroid, or should i install the new froyo 345.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahboy1219:
Hi guys,

sorry for my noob question but im really "NEW" to android and my nexus s, i was wondering if there is a way to increase the internal storage capacity of my nexus s. I learned that everytime that i would install an app it would install in the internal storage, but the nexus s only has 1GB internal storage right? and the USB storage is 13gb+ i think, i can transfer some apps to the USB storage. my problem is when the time comes that im already out of internal storage capacity. I believe not all apps can be moved to USB storage.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogol:
It will take hundreds of apps to fill that 1 GB internal memory.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0n1s4c:
Hello,

I have an HTC Desire with last LeeDroid version 2.3d and last ROM Radio

Il like it, it's great, but

- I hate the BIOS bootanimation, it's very awful, hideous, I want to eject it from my phone, it's very annoying and I want to **** it when I see on the screen

but, but, it's not very simple to remove or change it

=> I've tried with adb and Root Explorer: it doesn't work at all, it's very frustrating: phone reboot when I try or do nothing at all!!

is there a way to fix that?

- Another problem: I hate the Contacts/Phone/Dialer from HTC included with the LeeDroid: awful too, and prefer the original Android Contacts/Phone. With LeeDroid, there is Android_Contacts provided, thanks, but:

how can I install it?? By Recovery? By .apk using adb or via the Phone?

- by recovery, that doesn't work!

- by install via adb or phone, it works, but when I want to use Phone for calling anybody, the app crash (force closing!) with a message about android.process.acore !!

It's very frustrating too, because there's no explanationat all.

And don't answer me, try a search, because, on this topic: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=768703, there is almost 2000 pages (IMO: there's a great problem on this forum: arrangement's problem, so when you search an info, it's very hard to find it)

THANKS!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Take a look at this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=935288&highlight=replace+bootanimation

One of the solutions must work.

Or at Android flasher

Only way to do change it if you are S-ON, is booting into recovery and change the files via adb (for the first post). Android Flasher requires S-OFF.

Changing the dialer : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12159471&postcount=19080

Just flash it from recovery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0n1s4c:
Ok, for the Android Contacts, with the file you give me, it works, THANKS!!

but one question reminds: why with the file provided here, by the developer of LeeDroid release himself, it doesn't work ???

I haven't yet tested the botanimation

I'll try soon...

EDIT:

- my HTC Desire is S-ON, so I can't use Android Flasher

- the bootanimation.zip is on /system/customize/resource: the other solutions provided in your link can't work in this case (I've already tried to place the file in /data/app/local => didn't work!! And there's no system/sd/app/local directory on my Phone, can't be that)

I've tried to push file via adb in recovery:

Success??

Power down the Phone, boot and...

No luck, nothing change, I already have this bull**** of BIOS Boot Animation

Re-edit:

not tell yet, but when I was trying to overwrite the bootanimation with Root Explorer and r/w rights, the Phone directly reboot => no change
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aca85:
I also use LD 2.3d and i also tired to replace the BootAnim several times usig several methods...

Finally i s-ff'ed my phone and used Android Flasher and worked like a charm.

Also u can try a method i didnt try,go to the online Desire kitchen >http://uot.dakra.lt/

And cook a theme,select from the rom list your current rom and select only a bootanimation,once done,flash it from recovery :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0n1s4c:

Installation :

method 1 :

1) copy your swype apk (com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk) from system/app, system/sd/app or data/app and paste it to the root of your sd card (optionally push and pull with adb)

2) put it on your pc, open it up with 7zip and drag my files into assets/keyboards then update the archive (press back)

3) place it in apk manager folder in "place-apk-here-for-signing" folder

(I linked to my version because people said the didnt see the same options. Extract apk manager folder and work from there)

4) open apk manager (script.bat), choose option 16 (sign an apk)

5) place back on sd card, uninstall swype from phone, install new version, choose swype (settings > language and keyboard then put a tick by swype.

To start swype hold your finger in a text box then choose input method > swype)

Hi guys,

Actually I don't know if the phone really have 16 GB Storage but here is the thing:

Internal SD Card:

Total Storage: 1.52 GB Usable: 1.47 GB

Internal Phone Storage:

Usable : 1.81

No MicroSD installed.

So, does this phone actually lack a 16 GB sotrage? Or the phone just 2 GB of storage?

Or maybe it had 16 GB storage but I have flashed it wrong (Which I don't think so). FYI: This is how I flashed it.

And since it is a test sample, how can I learn if it really has 16 GB storage or not.

Use original earphones or a suitable adaptor. Both can be found on HTC Accesssory store.

HTC earphones uses four contacts on the 3.5mm plug, normal earphones only three.

You can also do a search in HD2 Accessories thread.

Or have a look here.

I recall seeing a thread on this somewhere here - shortly speaking the plug of factory headset has 4 sections (1 extra for the mic) while regular headphones plug has 3, which can cause some kind of short circuit resulting in last number redial
