After much reading, and following CM, I think that Honeycomb and Gingerbread are almost the same. I think Gingerbread was modified, and the Shell was modified to give us that Honeycomb look.

I think that CM7 would be just as good on Xoom as Honeycomb, if we can convince the market to supply us the Tablet apps.
[Xoom General] Synman:
I'm not so sure... we know that at some point Google branched, likely closer to 2.2 than 2.3 for honeycomb. you'll find 2.1 and 2.2 elements in it that don't exist in gingerbread... but that doesn't mean I'm any more right than you. I was really surprised to see the base 2.2 indeterminate (progress bar swirl) in it for example.

I've run Gingerbread on my gTab and keep going back to an optimized version of the 2.2 front-end it shipped with.

I'm hard pressed at this point to name one or the other a victor. If there was a truly tablet optimized version of GB out there I'd consider trying it again, but they all still have too much of a hacked feel to them... I don't mean that as a knock against the devs working hard on them... just my own observation. I'm sure in time they'll clean up nicely... as will honeycomb.
[Xoom General] bigrushdog:
The recovery will be up shortly. In the mean time, i recommend you back up your /data/media folder to your computer. The way things have turned out. Android will have to treat your external sd card as the real sd card. In other words, android will no longer use your internal memory for things like camera. your internal memory will just be storage space. But, isn't this the way it's supposed to be? Also, this should enable Mass Storage. You will also have to flash a new updated kernel which will also be up soon.
[Xoom General] Synman:
I'll patiently wait for both. Does the external SD card have to be mounted for us to go through the procedure? I'll just pull it out prior to the upgrade if that's an option.
[Xoom General] mrkrabs:
Is this gonna work for the wifi xoom??
[Xoom General] stiffspliff:
those pics above are pics of my wifi xoom, fyi :)
[Xoom General] kenhunt:
You can install recovery in the meantime while waiting for the new kernel. Its on koush's website and rom manager.
[Xoom General] spineforu82:
Clockwork stated to wait till new kernel via twitter
[Xoom General] Kas206:
I dont have a data/media folder on my xoom :confused:
[Xoom General] spineforu82:
Its your sd card directory
[Xoom General] Kas206:
I have a data folder but no media folder inside it. I have have a separate media folder on the root of my sd card
[Xoom General] spineforu82:
Data/media is the same as /sdcard

Backup everything in the sdcard directory
[Xoom General] kenhunt:
Recovery will remain unchanged, just don't use it till the updated kernel, so yea only saving yourself 3 minutes in the future lol
[Xoom General] Elementix:
True, but I mostly just wanted to use it now to do a nandroid...just in case anything happens... :)
[Xoom General] Crimton:
This is great news :D and I just rooted my xoom today.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Just made my first nandroid :)
[Xoom General] dubie76:
Did you use an offical drop or just his beta?
[Xoom General] spineforu82:
Any news on the new kernel?
[Xoom General] mikewanda1971:
do we flash the clockwork img with fastboot?
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[Xoom General] mikewanda1971:
from manager is working so I flashed it that way
[Xoom General] thunderstruck!:
That's great to hear. Not being able to Nandroid on a regular basis has been bugging the crap out of me.
[Xoom General] edwards379:
What about those of us that want to use part of our 32gb as sdcard I don't see using all that space for system and data only such a happening thing.
[Xoom General] BlackDino:
does this mean if we don't have an sd card we can't take pictures?
[Xoom General] Synman:
Give them a little time to work through the kinks. Its not quite out of the oven yet. In any case you'll want to get a microsd :-)
[Xoom General] spineforu82:
You can still use that as storage with Root Explorer. It's just that the Xoom will think the external sdcard is the real sdcard and default to that for music, videos, pictures, etc.

Just like it would on your Android Phone.
[Xoom General] BlackDino:
What android phone? The galaxy s uses the internal memory as the stock sd card, and so does the nexus s (even though it doesn't have an external)
[Xoom General] spineforu82:
Let me rephrase that. As older Android phones did before they started packing them with some good internal memory. IE OG DROID.
[Xoom General] BlackDino:
So why would we use an old model when the XOOM has one of tthe largest internal storage devices in android
[Xoom General] spineforu82:
Why I don't know you will have to ask the developer of the kernel and CWM. I was just explaining how it's going to work.
[Xoom General] Synman:
Why would you want a cwm backup on INTERNAL storage?
[Xoom General] spineforu82:
This is true that would just be silly.
[Xoom General] BlackDino:
That's how it works on the nexus s, galaxy s, ect. Its pretty easy to move files to the sd card. My issue with this is it cripples functionality for people that dont want an sd card
[Xoom General] Synman:
I have a galaxy gt-i9000 and always thought it was stupid that I backed up to internal storage. You're going to see the move to external more and more with 2.3+ devices. Best you come to terms with it rather than try to fight gravity.
[Xoom General] BlackDino:
Im not fighting gravity, all new phones that have been released come with internal drives as their main and secondary sd storage. Don't believe me? The xoom is one of them haha
[Xoom General] Synman:
This discussion is pointless. The xoom also shipped with a disabled external slot. I seriously don't know what to tell you. Whatever I say isn't going to be what you want to hear.

I'm sure the devs are taking this into account and at some point we'll have a means to use both, much like how your precious galaxy has external_SD mounted within /mnt/sdcard.
[Xoom General] BlackDino:
The xoom shipped with a lot of things wrong, doesn't take away the fact that is how new phones ship with main internal cards. But be as ignorant as you want
[Xoom General] Synman:
Ignorance is talking about something without any experience to back it up. May I suggest you spend some time learning about Gingerbread and mount points.

You know what else is ignorant? Referring to a hardwired solid state disk / disk on chip as an SDCARD...

At this point it seems all you're after is an argument. Have a good evening. In the meantime I've got a nice cozy cwm backup of my xoom on its real sdcard :-)
[Xoom General] spineforu82:
You can always choose not to use this kernel and wait for google to release the fix on the sd card.
[Xoom General] spineforu82:
Synman now that we have CWM how long do you personally think before we start seeing some roms in Rom Manager?
[Xoom General] GulMiguel:
Storage Doesn't Have To Be Internal

Recently, our fellow XDA mates created an updated kernel which now allows the external SD slot to be active. I have rooted and installed this change and I'm loving it so far. (It does reboot on its own from time to time, but the overall benefit is too great to ignore.)

I have already ordered a new microSD card from eBay which should be here on Monday. I chose 32 GB because the XOOM already has 32 - this will make it 64 (1/2 internal and 1/2 external). Based on the discussion I've been hearing, it seems that the whole situation has been rendered moot. Since the external slot is working, doesn't that mean that the backups you are referring to could be sent to the external card. (When performing the update, it was necessary to create a /media/sdcard2 directory - this is the 'mount' for the external card.) I will confirm this at the beginning of the week, but it seems to me that you can place your backup files wherever you are more comfortable with them residing. Personally, I like the idea of getting an extra SD card just for the purpose of storing backups on it exclusively. Storage has become cheap enough these days that such an idea is feasible. In fact, you could also keep the stock images of your XOOM on them for when it comes time to 'restore to stock' when we get our 4G installed.

Hopefully, I have not spoken out of turn. I just wasn't sure if everyone knew that the external slot is now actually open. You can thank your friendly neighborhood XDA for that one gang.
[Xoom General] Synman:
Full ROMs (at least honeycomb ones) are probably still a ways off. I'm sure we'll see some gingerbread ones shortly, likely within a week.

Also will likely start seeing patches, such as framework-Res and wpa_supplicant very shortly.
[Xoom General] BlackDino:
You mean solid state drive, and internal memory is referred as internal sd or internal memory.

I know plenty about mounts,

But anyways, night night
[Xoom General] greenro89:
I read I should backup everything I have on my xoom to my computer, but it cuts off halfway thru transferring and or will never transfer everything.. any help on this?
[Xoom General] edwards379:
So no biggie, I have no problem waiting for the stuff to progress before flashing. I just don't have the funds to buy a high class large capacity sdcard (although ill probably figure out a way to buy one anyway)
[Xoom General] BlackDino:
Do you have an sd card reader?
[Xoom General] greenro89:
for my microSD? yes but none of my stuff is there, its the internal I'm having issues with
[Xoom General] wnrussell:
ROM Manager installs MMC Card function

Backing up now.

Up/ Down Vol to select. Power to execute
[Xoom General] edwards379:
What class SD card should I get?
[Xoom General] fsunoles157:
Can I flash cwm. Witth rom manager on my xoom? What else should I do with cwm?
[Xoom General] Elementix:
Wpa_supplicant supporting adhoc tether has already been accomplished. There's a thread about it under Xoom General. Works pretty good too :)
[Xoom General] Archangel:
never thought I would see this day so soon, great work! DOing my first nandroid back up!
[Xoom General] DirtyDawgOriginal:
Wow, the devs took care of this in short order. :-) GREAT work devs! I was just wondering .... I'm a complete noob to Xoom flashing...etc., so please bare with me. I woke up this morning to an update for my purchased copy of RM on my Xoom. If someone would be so kind as to tell me exactly what I need to do to get this updated version to backup my Xoom? I've already updated, that went OK, BUT, when I ask it to BU current ROM...etc.(I've already flashed CMRecovery), it goes to recovery like I'm used to seeing, but then I see "waiting to mount SD card" and it counts down to 0 and reboot. If Im reading the forum correctly, the backup, at least for the time being, is performed on internal memory storage. Little confused here and would greatly appreciate some help. Thanks for your time.
[Xoom General] bigrushdog:
CWR is fresh out the kitchen! Also, please see my second OP for clarfication on the statement I made earlier in this thread. Have fun. :)
[Xoom General] Synman:
Yup. I was merely referring to an alternate means of installation.
[Xoom General] open1your1eyes0:
I was told by another member that it is impossible to get to recovery without an OS on the Wifi Xoom. Does anyone know if this is true?

The reason I ask is cause what do we do in the case our OS is correct and we need to do nandroid restore?
[Xoom General] coppertop24:
you go ahead and stick with internal storage as your primary. im going to stick with removable media for my storage of data, documents, music, pictures and movies.

There, see how that works? We'll do what we want, and you do what you want. If you dont like it,dont flash it.
[Xoom General] jase33:
It works just fine on wifi only xoom. I have this model and backup went smooth.
[Xoom General] open1your1eyes0:
How do you access it from power up? Volume Down + Power?

Does it really show up a recovery option? Photos?
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Hey man you seem to ask a lot, so here is something i just had happen. Of course you know i have the wifi version. I tried to load a rom on my xoom and borked my system all to hell. What i found next will BLOW your mind, as it did mine. In recovery i hit reboot (not knowing i screwed it up), a few minutes later i was in recovery. So i was like, wtf hit reboot again...few minutes later i was in recovery yet again. I did it one more time, and watched it this time. It tries to load the os, and when it can't, it reboots into recovery. What does this mean? i screwed it up, but then got into recovery without the os. Everyone else is scared to try it, but it did work for me.
[Xoom General] fsunoles157:
I also have tried it. It is a success restoring from a wipe

sent from my evo :-)
[Xoom General] open1your1eyes0:
Automatic recovery upon failed boot? Wow!!!! :D

So what would you say, you think it's safe for the general users to install recovery? And not worry about screwing up the OS?

One more thing.....I been hearing a lot of people saying that their nandroid restores fail. Is this a confirmed bug with the kernel or just random with some users?
[Xoom General] fsunoles157:
Still doesn't restore properly with 1.3.2 didn't know if 1.3.2 was suppose to fix that or maybe a newer version of cwr. Thanks
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McLabia:
So, Ive done my due diligence in searching before I created this thread, and it seems like either Im the only one having this issue, or its new. Im guessing its probably something I did, but here it goes.

Like the title states, the wifi is not turning on. I check the box to turn it on, and it thinks and tries for about 15 seconds and then starts turning off. Im running Perfect Storm ROM now, but it was doing this with VirusROM and Twisted Sense as well. Im using the 4.4.2 kernel now, but Ive flashed a couple others with the same issue. I have tried turning on airplane mode, like has worked for other people with similar but different connectivity issues, but thats not worked. Ive restarted a few times and still nothing.

It did turn on last night, and was fine till I rebooted. Not quite sure what the trick is here, but Im stumped. Thanks in advance for any help!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spencer_Moore:
Just curious are you using the 4gonoff? I know that I used the app to turn it onto 3g only (to save battery) and wifi would not turn on. When I switched back to 4g and 3g it turned on fine.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McLabia:
Nah, I only have 3g/4g issues at home and when I'm home I just use WiFi. I left that part alone.

Sent from my rooted Bolt running The perfect storm ROM and 4.2.2 kernel.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McLabia:
Bump...intermittent issues. It says unable to scan for networks then turns WiFi off.

Sent from my rooted Bolt running The perfect storm ROM and 4.2.2 kernel.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McLabia:
Still having intermittent issues...would love to figure out the issue.

VirusROM + 4.4.2 Kernel+ Bolt=WIN
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidGraphix:
Interesting you brought this up. I had the same issue an hour ago. My wifi wouldn't turn on. It would say searching for wifi then turn off. I thought it was my droid wall or maybe bloatware freezer so I unfroze some applications and allowed some applications with droidwall. After that nothing. I rebooted just to see if it would help and walla. It worked.

:::edit. I forgot to mention I running VirusROM AirborneTB.

Sent from my rooted Thunderbolt with VirusROM AirborneTB. Xda premium
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McLabia:
Yeah, its been like this for me since thurs. Not sure whats going on with it, but its driving me nuts. Are you running the 2750 battery or 1400? Its not software(I flashed fresh) and if it is, its not something I did atleast. haha.

I think Imma make a backup real quick and try another rom and see if its just VirusROM. Then again, since Jcase just released the new RUU, perhaps Ill just wait for Virus to update Airborne.

I was a noob before, and didnt do fresh installs. I just flashed over the old one. lol. This time its fully cleared and factory reset before I flashed in Airborne.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McLabia:

[Atrix 4G Accessories] tecnic08:
Why no one is talking about the Speck Candyshell for Atrix 4G?

I think it's really good ,but attract scratch on the back.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] mgymnop:
I have the speck and the incipio feather. The speck adds too much bulk to the phone but the case looks nice and protects the phone appropriate. The incipio feather is really nice but it cracks easily even without dropping the phone just by taking it off the phone several times....
[Atrix 4G Accessories] neer2005:
I have the spek case and while it does add bulk, it adds extremely good protection.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Hydro360:
I had the speck on my iPhone haven't decided if I'm getting it or not. I'm kinda being a pansy about looks right now. I have badass phone I want a badass look
[Atrix 4G Accessories] FuzeLearner:
I have the Speck case and am more than impressed with it. Although it does add a little size to the stock phone, the protection is more than worth it. Side by side with the otter box and this thing looks as thin as a poker chip. Also the back of the case does get scratched up but who cares, that's what cases are for! This case meets every one of my needs so to me there's no better case on the market right now.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Andrew149:
I have the spec case amazing i also had a speck case on the iphone the case holds up and really protects the phone i recommend it highly
[Atrix 4G Accessories] neotekz:
ive been using the case since i got the phone and really like how theres a hard shell and the rubber lining around the screen. also makes the phone feel really solid. it does scratch really easily but i put some carbon fiber tape on it to cover it up and add some grip. its still a bit slippery for me so i just ordered a tpu case from ebay to see how it feels.

heres a pic of the speck
[Atrix 4G Accessories] hotweels258:
Does anyone know an easy way to get the case off? Whenever i try to do it, it feels like i'm about rip the battery cover in half.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] samarth1:
I have this same issue with the Speck case, and its really frustrating. The way I do it is to turn it over, push the center of the case with both my thumbs (as if you're holding a sandwich/burger). Keep pressing it and flexing the sides until the back cover pops off partially (usually from the top of the phone), and then separate the phone from the case by slowly pulling on it from top to bottom.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] LancerV:
I take my phone in and out of my case twice a day although after a month my speck case is torn and falling apart
[Atrix 4G Accessories] moondrius:
I actually returned my candyshell today. After taking it off a few times It became warped and started losing its shape.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Purple Drama Llama:
Anyone hear back from case-mate? I got:

Sigh.....
[Atrix 4G Accessories] arexxk:
call me a fruit, but it pisses me off that Speck is only making making one color of the case :mad:
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Gandalf:
just purchased the Speck case today from AT&T

It fits perfectly, in my opinion it DOES NOT add very much bulk to the phone AT ALL. But I did just come off of the OtterBox Defender :eek: that is a big freakin case

Overall, the Speck to me, seems like a phenomenal case, fits well, doesn't add any weight or size to the phone that is unnecessary, and the all black gloss looks sleek :D
[Atrix 4G Accessories] mn3kgtvr4:
I compared the spec against the otterbox commuter the other day at AT&T store and went with the commuter for the same price. About the same bulk. Both the store employee and I struggled to remove the spec, which at least means it's secure, and it dang near broke my battery cover since it popped off and got stuck in the spec. If the spec were a lot cheaper or you didn't want to pop it off often it seems great but the 2 piece design of the commuter is pretty ideal.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Alcapone263:
i absolutely love my speck case. i take my phone out by just using one hand to kinda pull the lip away from the phone screen, and the other hand to push in the fingerprint scanner.

i wish it looked cooler, but for the protection it adds with not a lot of bulk (IMO at least, it's not that bad at all, i compared it to my friend's otterbox'd iphone and i much prefer my speck)
[Atrix 4G Accessories] s1mpd1ddy:
it is a pain in the arse to remove.. i push the phone out by the power button/fingerprint scanner, while simultaneously pulling back on the lip of the case.

it keeps your phone protected thats for damn sure --but I use the Incipie feather as my everyday ---- the sleekness of it is way better
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Andrew149:
Doesn't really protect you phone well I dropped mine on the concrete from 4 feet and the phone fell out the case useless case
[Atrix 4G Accessories] jasona801:
the only thing i dont like about this case is the scratches that it gets on it. best way for me to get it off is left thumb in the camera hole right thumb in the bottom of the finger print scanner and fingers on the rubber edges on the front.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] ronii1123:
I think the case is good, better then decent drop protection but the scratches make me sad haha, honestly it was worth getting but I will be searching for a new one simply because I am picky and like different cases for different situations.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] turdfergueson2:
I've been using it for a few months. Pretty much every good and bad thing has been written. I bought mine from AT&T. I probably would shop around for a cheaper price.
[Atrix 4G Accessories] DiamondJay20:
this case is actually just as good as the defender: check the defender vs. the speck The candyshell looks sick, feels and does great things
[Atrix 4G Accessories] Eddie Bombay:
Nice case was going to get it until I came across the Surface case by Seidio. Loved the Seidio case so much I got it for my Infuse also.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weztcoazt:
ok...last time i had an issue wit my gps was when my gps signal was not workin...but i fixed that..now that i went from nightly build 28 to the RC4 it does not work anymore...when i flashed the RC4 i pretty much jus wiped everything jus cuz i felt it was safer..do i have to go back to a sense rom and do the whole msl number again or is there somethin i did wrong????
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Yes you might have to man. Try downloading the final version of cm7 since its newer than rc4, then go back and do the msl gps fix one more time. The same thing happened to me going from the nightly to the final; its like the gps fix was overwritten. You could also try downloading gps status/toolbox from the market and clearing the a-gps.
