To me, it is so easy to root and the benefits make it a no-brainer. I root so I can overclock, undervolt & increase battery, run custom software that often preforms better than the stock version, remove apps I will never use, have system level access to all files/folders, to use the occasional root only apps, to backup my software, apps, and data, tether in a pinch, get updates faster than verizon can even dream of, and a few other reasons. I simply cannot and will not use an unrooted stock device. Of course you need to look at your personal use to see how you will benefit, but, again, it is fairly easy to do, and you gain far more than you use in most circumstances, but it's all a personal decision. If you want to try it, go for it. You have nothing to lose(yes, there is a small chance of bricking, but only if you don't follow direction or by some freak accident. Just do your research, know what you're getting into, and follow along with the directions as you go. You can always revert to stock if you want, though you likely will not! Sorry for wall-o-text!

[Xoom General] stevejau:
What is a benefit to one is or might be a curse to another.

We probably root our devices for different reasons.

You have the people who root their devices because they can, they have no real use for root, they just want it.

Then you have those that root because a mate of a mate of a mate said you can install windows 7 on it or play Farcry at 300fps.

Others are complete geeks and NEED root, otherwise the cows will stop producing milk and the sky will fall down.

Then we have the tinkers, those that say "hmmm if i root this baby i can bask in the glory that i am the worlds supreme hacker.."hey guys..can your unrooted xoom do this?"

Then their is me..I rooted it because i don't like being told what i can and cannot do on a device I paid for..If i want custom boot animations i can, if i want to use the myriad of applications on the market that require root i can.

Rooting any device is a personal thing, much like modifying your car, some do, some don't, and I guess we are all happy with our respective choices.

Wiping data is not as bad as most make it seem. A good backup to your harddrive or with TB or MyBackup is all you need to be back up and running in no time.

ROOT!!!!

I want to root now cos i want to play Tenchu, on my xoom with a Bluetooth PS controller BOOOOOO-YAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
[Xoom General] kenfly:
i have a rooted xoom oc'd to 1.5 but honestly, I don't see a real reason to root now unless you want titanium backup. With honeycomb being closed source its kind of a set back in development. Wait till ice cream sandwich comes out in a month. That's open source so development will get better. We just hit a wall now until then. All we can do now is optimize what we have and make the best of it.

[EVO 4G Accessories] Leoisright:
It fits loosely because it is missing the clip on plastic backing. I have both and it is awesome. The inner part is the silicone while a hard plastic holds the entire EVO.

just download handcent app from the market and go to batch mode and you will be able to select whom you want to send message or when you start a new message there is a + option that lets you send same message to multiple people.

I currently have "Mobile Defense" on my Droid 1. Luckly I have never needed to use it, however its nice knowing I am protected incase my phone is lost or stolen.

My question is, I have essentially a wifi only (I got in on the 25% off deal) Xoom, and want to make sure it is protected too. I realize without it having 3G may make it difficult when its not connected to wifi. What is a good program to use, similar to Mobile Defense? Does the gps need internet connection to work properly, if someone did steal it and it wasnt connected to wifi?

Anyone having issues downloading from the market... it doesn't work for me. Keeps saying download was unsuccessful. I flashed the rom and it worked again. Then stopped this morning. Dont want to flash just to download sum apps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Usually I think this is just Google having issues. One thing you can try to avoid re-flashing is to first force stop Google Services Framework and Market (or Vending), then clear data for google services framework. If you launch the market at that point it should show an error, after rebooting it should come back to normal.
[EVO 4G Android Development] RocSteadyNy:
Gonna give that a try now. Thanks fir the speedy response
[EVO 4G Android Development] RocSteadyNy:

[EVO 4G Android Development] vaelek:
Another solution I've seen that I just thought of, is to sign in/out of Talk. The market uses this on the back-end and sometimes it can interfere with it. I'm kind of grabbing at straws here because this issue when it happens is never wide-spread or reproducible unless the Market itself is having some issues.

This is rather frustrating. Its actually doing something similar to me on the wifi tethering. It recognizes the connection once in a freakin blue moon. The Sprint Wifi hot spot is pretty solid though.

As far as wifi tethering, even if I supply the correct credentials manually, it will not connect.

Do you think a different kernel may fix the issue?

Try flashing 4.3.2 CFS nosbc havs more. http://www.qap.la/~netarchy/
[EVO 4G Android Development] carhauler1969:
I've been using the Pre9 Vaelpak version of WiFiTether pretty regularly (on it now), it's pretty solid for me. Every once in a while I'll have to reopen it to refresh the connection, it just disappears OIAW, like it has a timeout or some such.

I know HotSpot has a timeout setting, but I usually set it to "always on" if I'm using it. I've never had the issue where it unchecks the DHCP box on it's own though.

On the Kernel side of things, I used to stick with the Nets BFS kernels cuz my phone seems to like that scheduler. Until this week I'd only ever tried one of his CFS builds, 4.2.2 I think, & my phone was laggy with random reboots.

I started playing around with the 4.3.2 CFS builds over the last week, starting with the nohavs-nosbc, then havs-less-nosbc, & as of last night the havs-more-sbc. I have to say my phone is just as fast & stable, even OC'd @ 1152MHz, on the cfs-havs-more-sbc build as it was on the bfs-nohavs-nosbc @ 998400MHz.

Thanks to skydeaner@EVO Reviews for the awesome review on the cfs-havs-more-sbc kernel, it's the only reason I even tried it, lol. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] volwrath:
Thanks for this link. I tried it, but unfortunately the same thing happened. Wifi works once and then won't allow connections anymore. Even after reboot wifi tether won't work.

pre9 version? I know Vaelek worked on Sprint Mobile Hotspot but was unaware that he had a version of wifi tether. Are you talking about this one?

Don't u mean 4.3.2 CFS nosbc Java more? LOL I love auto correct.

I'm going to try this kernal next since you seem to be so fond of it. I hope it is solid for me too. Not that the stock kernal is bad at all. Its very good and stable, just a Tad bit slow I feel compared to the HTC #15.

Jim, what do u think would happen if we tried one of the newer AOSP kernals that supports 4g.. you think they would work at all with this version?

Hi All,

I'm absolutely loving this ROM. Thanks Val!

I've only run into a couple of issues that I'm sure are easy to fix.

I've received this error very often:

"The application Google Services Framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" This one does occur often when using the Market.

And occasionaly I receive a FC when trying to dial a number. The original (Non-Sense Dialer) FC's, not every time though at all.

Thoughts?
