Please do not be someone that bricks your phone and blames the rom, or enters the thread complaining about issues that already known

CM7
[Captivate General] ward24:
Will there ever b a way to flash it besides odin is it in beta
[Captivate General] peachpuff:
No, its the only way since this isn't you're typical rom.
[Captivate General] ward24:
Is there more rom's on the captivate using Odin than just flashing
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
So, we're all early adopters and we all know what we're getting into but if we could reach out to Motorola & Google, what would you want to tell them?

What do you wish the Xoom / Honeycomb had?

Please don't list things that we know are already coming down the pipe, like Flash, micro-SD card support, and 4G.

Here are some things I'd like to see in the next software update:

Contrast & Saturation controls

Separate wallpaper for lock screen & home screens

REAL USB support, not this MTP crap!

Trickle charging from USB port

Scrollable task manager

Ability to auto hide clock / menu bar when viewing fullscreen videos or games, it does hide now, but the apps don't go true fullscreen, it's more like a lights out effect

Ability to rate / comment in the Market app

What else would you like to see?
[Xoom General] Kdroidx:
I'm not sure if the second to last one is possible without a gesture to bring it back up. The last one should already be there though.

I would like to see something done about smoothness of entering text in a browser. Its laggy and horrible to use.
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
Good point. Hopefully, future Honeycomb devices will have a proximity sensor. That would be such a cool way to bring up auto hidden menu / status bars.

I'd also like to see it play many of these video codecs flawlessly with hardware acceleration.

I just did a quick test and hardware video codec support is pretty crappy right now.
[Xoom General] gogol:
What's good on USB file system compared to mtp?

Same functionality to transfer files from PC.

Mtp is better because no need to mount it.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
I don't want usb mass storage support if it means I have to unmount the internal 'sdcard' ever.

This is an improvement over the past, and it's a better implementation than Apple's for sure. It makes media transfer super easy for users and that is all it's about. I never want to have to unlock my tab and hit mount to just transfer a file ever again.
[Xoom General] killswitch23456:
My biggest thing would be the ability to be able to re-size the widgets like you can do in launcherpro.

The widgets on the apps are too small because they are primarily designed for the phones...so all the things I need right now all fit into one screen...and it looks to empty if i move them.

Other than that, the speed of the internet rendering....with a dual core processor you would think you could use all that power to actually render it in real time so its not all fuzzy for a sec or two

also maybe the same kind of word prediction like they use in sense or blur where it actually shows you the different words that it thinks you are trying to use...which im sure will get fixed by different developers with different keyboards...maybe.

EDIT -- FOUND IN SETTINGS. THANKS BAUXITE

Maybe also the ability to add little icon type things to the task bar for the things you love the most...so you could just be playing a game or something and need/want to use the internet...I mean you could use that last 5 apps launcher but meh...think it would be useful.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
You can find this under settings.
[Xoom General] killswitch23456:
Legit?? Dayum...just got it the other day and when i went through I didn't see it. Thanks man!
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
My cousin has the NIA, he chose that over Xoom cuz he wanted to be able to plug in his external hard drives and play movies directly off of them.

32GB sounds like a lot but a typical 1080p mkv is about 8-10GB. Not only is that time consuming to copy, you could only fit 4 or so movies on there.

Not sure if the Android file system even supports large file sizes like NTFS does.
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
I wonder why they didn't just put currently running apps right on the task/menu/clock bar itself?

Probably because it would look too "windows/mac"-ish? That's a lame reason. It actually would've been smarter and more user friendly to do that since that bar is persistent and never disappears...as far as I've seen.

I hope they get rid of that apps button and just put them on the bar in the future.
[Xoom General] colbyb25:
I would love to see all those although I don't care for trickle USB charging. Pointless in my mind. I love how fast the xoom is charged with the stock charger.
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
The one thing I can think of off the top of my head would be to allow us to "Clear All" notifications in the bar all at one time, rather than click the X to clear out every notification. Would be especially useful if you just batch installed a ton of apps in the market in one run. It's a very minor request but my two cents worth. I'll think of more. :)
[Xoom General] thehavock18:
I agree. With most of the items posted. However instead of having the recent apps button make that a scrollable. Task manager.
[Xoom General] Maikai.Guy:
Stylus support with hand shadow ignore, so I could write on it like a sheet of paper.

Handwriting recognition would also help.
[Xoom General] gogol:
That is something else called "USB Host" feature.

Which I believe Xoom has it, but you need special cable.

The special cable will be made by Motorola and has not been released yet.

There was a thread discussing this before and you can find one as well in the official Moto support forum for Xoom.

UPDATE: here are the threads:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=971524&highlight=USB+host

Tell that to your cousin :D
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
WHAT? Android is Linux, and almost every linux kernel has ext3... which supports just as large file sizes as NTFS does.
[Xoom General] lanternca:
I completely agree. There are several things that are available on phoned but not on honeycomb which make no sense, like clear all. The show pictures in the stock email app as well.

I also agree with OP about his suggestions.
[Xoom General] lanternca:
I like how fast it charges using the standard plug and I would use that normally, but I'd like to have the option art least in a pinch or in the car. For example I have a micro usb at work, but I don't have my xoom charger. I can go a whole dayand charge at night but that's not the point.
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
Yep, agree!

What if we wanted to take the tablet on a road trip where you wouldn't be close to an outlet? USB trickle charging would definitely help in that case as well! :D

The main issue here is whether this is a hardware issue or software issue. If it's software, I'm sure some genius on here can figure out how to unlock that.
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
Mainly what OP said. Additionally:

Applications in Market should show "installed" or "purchased"

Search result list position should be remembered after "checking out" one app and returning to the list

Integration of PDF viewer into browser

Native support of folders (although I love the Folder Organizer app)

Option to configure transition effects between homescreens (like in LauncherPro)

That's what came to my mind immediately.
[Xoom General] Flaunt77:
I agree here - I have been doing research, and it appears that the dell streak has the same situation - and someone got USB drive hosting working on android 2.1 only - im sure devs here will pick it up on the XOOM soon.

My biggest wish is contrast/saturation controls like digital vibrance on geforce cards. (myabe geforce ULP can as well with drivers!)

Also the scrolling multi-taske side bar
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
I agree totally! And the first two you mentioned with the market, those are much needed features, as it can be very frustrating if you do a lot of market browsing. I made a little topic about that a few days ago too. ;)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=981548
[Xoom General] jsnryn:
Try using folder organizer lite. There's a label called notification and you have to turn it on in settings, but it does what you're asking.
[Xoom General] despich:
If I can add a couple:

- Magnetic "snap on" charging cable like some laptops have. The current one is so tiny it's difficult to get it in the hole especially in the dark. I worry too about if that tiny center pin gets bent by something. Inductive charging maybe.

- Lock USB when Locking screen - Currently even if you lock the screen USB is still accessible, even if you encrypt the tablet and lock the screen USB is still accessible. Basically no way of securing your pictures or other media in the event you loose your xoom.

- Vibrate notification option. Mostly because I used to love the way the samsung Tab would give a little vibrate when you used the keyboard. It was great feedback.

- Google voice with built in SIp Support for making/receiving calls. (yes I know I can get voice working now) I rarely talk on the phone but I hate having to carry 2 devices.

This has been mentioned before but probably not going to get the ability to charge via usb. The problem is usb provides 5 volts and the battery on the xoom takes over 7 volts to charge. Yes there are ways of making that 5 volts into 7 volts but it's inefficient and would add more hardware to the tablet so it would make it cost more and the charging rate by usb would be very very slow.
[Xoom General] funnycreature:
I forgot another couple of features in the market that I'd like to see:

Improved update function with a) better notification and b) the option to update all

As was posted in another thread a security feature before buying/downloading an app (like in App Store)
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
It would be nice if the camera app had saturation and contrast controls as well.

And I don't like how the lock screen background changes depending on which home screen you're on:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=987223
[Xoom General] StrifeSoldierVII:
I also wouldn't mind seeing some notification bar custom features, such as being able to drag and drop the softkey buttons/move them around so that we may organize them as we please. Also would be pretty cool to be able to add a custom color editor/icon editor for the softkeys as well. This would add more uniqueness as you will be able to make your own. Possibly even being able to add our own softkey buttons that work side by side with the system ones. Almost as if they were shortcuts to apps/commands, or whatever it would be linked to.

All in all anything that give us complete notification bar customization is what I would like to see.
[Xoom General] aliziaee:
Need google voice with voice calling.
[Xoom General] flippingout:
My wishlist would include

Applications in Market should show "installed" or "purchased"

Scrollable task manager. I know you can switch to portrait mode to get more but why? It doesn't make sense not to allow this to scroll

Ability to clear all notifications like on my CM7 Incredible. That is such a useful option

Widescreen pictures (I may be overlooking a setting though)

An improved browser experience. The rendering can be such a pain. I'm reluctant to use an alternative browser though because the side wheel feature is so freaking useful

That's it for now. I'm sure there are more but in reality, this device is pretty amazing.
[Xoom General] cxh9055:
I would like to see multiple user support. This is a device my whole family can and wishes to use, but I don't want to share my email with them.
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
I agree with that. The iPad does a 2D translation effect (aka, just slides the icons horizontally) so it's less cpu/gpu intensive, while HC does some 3D rotation effect. Of course the 3D effect will be more taxing.

If they can do it and speed up the animation so it's more smooth, that's fine but it's smooth only about 3/5's of the time.

The GUI guys at Google had a really hard time with HC since 16:10 has such a different layout between portrait and landscape. That's why there's side margins where you can't drop icons/widgets when you hold it in landscape and probably explains why they chose the 3D effect too.

But, I hope they'll give us an option to drop that altogether. Here's what I'm proposing:

Allow us to drop icons / widgets all the way to the side edges in landscape mode & top/bottom edges in portrait mode

When we turn to portrait, let HC do its best to reflow the widgets, of course it won't get it right

Then, we'll finish the job by tweaking the arrangement so it looks good in portrait too

Then, HC can memorize each icon / widget's location (in landscape & portrait) and simply do an x/y translation effect sliding all the screen objects to their appropriate locations whether in landsacape or portrait mode

This would solve the problem of the vastly different canvas dimensions caused by a 16:10 aspect ratio and allow us to use the entire screen real estate.

Screen real estate isn't an issue now because there's only about 20 tablet apps but when that number reaches 50,000; we'll want every bit of screen real estate accessible to us.

I know if we run launcherPro, it lets you use the entire screen real estate, but I'd rather not run a launcher on top of a launcher.

BTW, I think Moto reads these forums because someone posted a dump of their Xoom and Moto made XDA remove the links citing DCMA rights.

So, please vote this to be stickied and hopefully Moto & Google will hear their customers' wishes!
[Xoom General] angryclubs:
+1 for screen transitions.

-1 if said transitions are not silky smooth
[Xoom General] ahmadddd:
Updated color and contrast levels, hopefully this will overcome the low contrast ratio for the Xoom Screen. We need a warm color tempreature asscreen is really washed out.

Better screen quality for Xoom 2 ( same quality as Ipad).

Better battery and lighter case.

Facebook apparently for Honeycomb should be sponsored by Google, the same way they sponsor and work with Weather Bug and other gaming companies.

Facebook calendar and messaging sync

If I get a lighter tablet with better screen I will sell my Xoom, maybe the new Galaxy but still don't trust Samsung as they will leave me without updates.
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
I don't think you have to worry about updates since Samsung said the 10.1 will be a Google experience device.
[Xoom General] MrTek:
I would like to see the swipe/radial menu from the browser be system wide. I find myself swiping in other apps when I intended to need a menu item
[Xoom General] pmperry:
That is easy to fix...

From the browser type about:debug and press enter

Once that is done your settings menu will have a debug option...

In the debug options uncheck use wide view port

Then, set UAString to desktop

After that, Dump Navigation Cache and Dump V8 Counters...

Restart the browser and try typing in a forum, it is much faster now and web pages actually run much quicker.
[Xoom General] f1restarter:
Do you have a link to this Samsung claim? I'm only asking because I have the Galaxy S phone (vibrant) and while I absolutely love the SAMOLED screen, I just got sick and tired of waiting for Froyo as promised by Samsung since August/Sept 2010 and finally after months of begging/complaining we got froyo in late Jan '11. I wish I had listened to all those previous Samsung phone owners how they were totally let down by the company as far as updates were concerned. I bought the Xoom thinking this was the actual Google Nexus S of the Tablet world and would get future updates first and foremost. Am I right?
[Xoom General] baller2319:
I don't think it is like the nexus s because Google doesn't sell this device on their site. It just a Google experience device.
[Xoom General] pierreburel:
Just posting here what i wrote on the Android Platform Group, regarding the System Bar and its buttons (without success) :

[Xoom General] martonikaj:
Regardless of who makes it, if there is no skin and running stock Android 3.0, then we will see quick updates to it when they come out.
[Xoom General] spitfirerx:
I really like the fact that all these tables with 3.0 are using stock 3.0. i really hope this becomes the standard, it would reduce fragmentation and help the whole updating process.

AND i really want better support for HD video this is a dual core Nvidia processor and i cant play high profile H264?!?!?!?!(mp4)
[Xoom General] Ksmooth15:
I would like honeycomb to tie the tablet and phone together. When I get home I use two devices right now, and would love to only use the tablet. I would like the tablet to pull text off of the phone..maybe even phone calls. I know that you can with google voice, but I would love for it to work with my carriers phone number.
[Xoom General] orionshock:
tell me that is a typo ??

Most movies i grab turn out to be somewhere in the 800mb to 1 GB range.

If a transcoding program starts spitting out an 8GB file i'd want my money back and punch who ever told me this was a good idea.

You all have to be insane to think that an 8 GB video file is acceptable
[Xoom General] IctinikeOH:
Agree with many things already stated here but honestly the Android Market should be able to work in both landscape AND portrait mode! :(

Nothing worse, for me at least, than browsing a forum, hitting a market link and having to reorient the tablet.
[Xoom General] orionshock:
I don't think the tablet can vibrate tbh, i've never felt that feedback before
[Xoom General] JohnnyMac64:
My wish list at this time

The Market to show apps as installed or purchased. Just ridiculous that they don't already like in the other versions of Android.

Market usable in Portrait mode as well as Landscape.

A sweet 3D cube effect when scrolling across home screens.

BT mouse support for when tablet is docked and using BT keyboard.

True task manager, not just a recently open apps list.

External USB flash memory support.

Customizable haptic feedback.
[Xoom General] cymersa:
My wish list for Android Honeycomb

- sync app like live mesh sync 2011

- office app like Office 2007 or newer

- Adobe Acrobat

- handwriting notebook

[Android Apps and Games] TheMuffStuff:
It should be showing up in widgets once you move to system/app and then reboot. Not sure why its doing that. I really dont have an answer for you, if you know how to adb push you can try that, if not, try going to the miui dev forums and posting your question.

I see that all the us state files are named the same, how would I go about pushing them all as I have family and friends everywhere?

Edit that - i just pushed the first apk for a-g and its showing every city/state. Only thing not working is my location/gps, I had to manually select my city.

It looks very nice compared to other apps I've tried. I'll report back with any issues but it looks accurate

For anyone wondering, the ROM in the OP is MIUI.

MarkHUK and Co. are working on it. They have the source code and are trying to make it so that database files aren't necessary, and that only one .apk will be needed.

In the meantime, if you would like your country to be made available, post your country codes to the MIUI Weather thread at miui-dev.com HERE.
[Android Apps and Games] dustinmatthews87:
I thought it was MIUI but it looks like there is an app drawer, which MIUI doesnt have, unless there is an app for that hahaha
