XOOM and ics

[marine1]

Getting sick and tired of waiting for it, going to root.
Any advice on which ROM to use? Thanks guys

Me too. Want to be able to use it as USB host.

What do you mean USB host?

Received my ICS ages ago, I have the USA wifi version.

Works great !

Be able to plug in flash drives/ HDDs and view their content on the Xoom. It can apparently only be done with a rooted Xoom for now.

If you've got the Wi-Fi only version, download the stock ICS the yanks got. If you've got the 3G one though, good luck! I've tried a couple, but all of the ones I've found still had quite a number of issues!

What about EOF nightly?

Opportunity to buy a xoom for R 3500. Yes/NO?

New? hmm... I'd say yes.... Don't have one myself, but at that price I would

Do you need root access to view media content from USB?

 

[Jola]

My Xoom recently updated to JB 4.1.2

Certainly gets the updates real fast, worth it just for that.

But you have the US Xoom, yes?

Yes, USA wifi version.

Yes, USA wifi version.

Can you view USB media content?

 

[Jola]

I tried that some time ago, and as far as I can recall I could.

I don't have the tablet with me at the moment, so cannot check.

Edit : I remember that some devices wouldn't work because they used too much power.

Edit2 : BTW, the Xoom works with a 64GB microSDXC card, so you can put a lot of media on there.
