After the Simon Stuart thing, do you still have the standard apps like browser and email? And Google Play of course?
I'd like some idea what is present on the home screen after the update. Thanks. |

Yes, you will still have those.
Anything standard that is not included because of a USA / UK difference, you just download it from market / play store. |

Makes me laugh how the Xoom 2 doesn't even have ICS.
Hopefully, things will improve after the Google buyout starts to take shape. |

The only thing I found that goes missing is the Office app. Of course you can always purchase it from Google Play.
Thanks for the info. I shall take the plunge soon.

HELP! I don't know what happened
I just ran the SimonJStuart stuff, and this is what I got in the command window when I ran the batch file:
Code:
C:\Users\Jeff\Documents\XOOM GEDify>adb reboot bootloader

I went to Settings / About tablet and it still says Android version 3.2. When I tapped System updates it said "Your device is up to date. No update is necessary at this time. Please tell me what happened! Edit: I did what it said, and tried again. This time the boot.img flash worked, but the system.img and recovery.img both failed. About to try for the third time... |

For some reason I can't edit my last reply any more.
I think my device is bricked. Thank you SimonJStuart. It has now written the boot loader but fails to write the system, so there is no system to boot. This is what I get now: Code:

C:\Users\Jeff\Documents\XOOM GEDify>fastboot flash boot boot.img

Yay! I has system!
Don't know how I did it, but I now have a system installed on my Xoom. Cancelling trip to the tip. Edit: Maybe I spoke too soon. I now get the Welcome screen then it goes off to a Honeycomb-type screen saver then back to the Welcome screen. If I click on Start, nothing happens. And I can't install the MTP USB device. ![]() Edit again: Sorry to be boring everybody, but I went round and round the process again and now have a fully working system. At last. |

itv player website ics?
Hi instead of starting a new XOOM thread I put this question in here. Has any one who has ics have this problem when trying to watch certain programs. What happens is the ads play fine but when for example corrie starts I keep getting the round buffering sign in the middle of the player. It something that is puzzling me. I have the itv player app witch i downloaded though a google search and work fine .I know its ics because on honeycombe programs worked as they should but on ics that wont play.I have the latest flash. It just one of things that is puzzling me .what different in ics?

hi XOOMERS

Had mine 24 hours now (see above post). ICS+ Browser now does not work at all. Logical I suppose as the name implies it was for ICS. Firefox for Android now crashes every time it's used, so for now it's back to stock browser.
I know that the official stock browser for JB is Chrome but that doesn't support Flash, which particularly in the next couple of weeks with the Olympics and therefore iPlayer is useless. Apart from that all seems fine. Voice recognition seems to be massively improved and I love the new search facility already. |

At this time the release is still in Beta, obviously when it becomes full release there is no need to install the Beta! From your device from inside Firefox, download and install Adobe Flash Player 11.1_11.1.115.11.apk Shutdown Firefox properly and restart it, then go to the BBC IPlayer website. From the top right hand menu in Firefox select Request Desktop Site. Then try it. |
