Guest pawilson78 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 Thought I'd start a topic for the looming ICS OTA update for the Xoom tablet, and see how people get on with the upgrade...
Guest skull_fcuk Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 I just bought this tablet after seeing the Car phone warehouse offer on this fine sites news page, (thank you Modaco ) Its such a lovely bit of kit that I wish I had bought for me rather than the Wife. I know there is the hack to turn it into a US GED to enable the OTA ICS, but tbh its lovely as it is. Even used it as a GPS Sat Nav round Aberdeen, whilst tethered to my trusty Blade. Flawless:-) I hope this £249 CPWarehouse offer lasts long enough for me to get another one :-) Will be posting here when the update rolls out. XXXXOOOOOOOMMMMMMZ:-) :-)

CPW special - bargain in my eyes. Think I'll stick with stock for now too. Does your device show 1Gb RAM or 512Mb btw?

Guest stonebear Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 I got one from Dixons for £224. :) I think the best way to get ICS is unlock the bootloader, then stick CWM on it and flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446469 There are custom ICS roms around but I am happy with the stock + root. For overclocking I just flashed a custom kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1454863
Guest pawilson78 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Posted February 1, 2012 Yeah I could root the thing and stick a custom ROM and/or kernel on it, but I thought as the official UK ICS was imminent I'd wait for that first. Aside from the US ROM, is there a fully functioning ROM out there for the Xoom?
Guest Deejay Posted May 20, 2012 Report Posted May 20, 2012 well still waiting - Motorola really dragging their feet! Thought we were going to be one of the first...now nearly last!
