Ice Cream Sandwich On Motorola Xoom Wifi - Second Look - Updated Build

We've uploaded a new video answering some of the viewer's questions and showing off some more performance of the Xoom, Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VupF97u39bs

As with our previous video, this showcases ICS running on the Motorola Xoom Wifi and just how fast the tablets can be now that we have a proper OS running on it. It performs as fast as many of the "newer" tablets we see on the market today. We'll be keeping this channel up to date with the new builds being posted by razorbladex401. This install is not for the feint of heart as it is VERY possible that you can do irreversible damage to your device if you do not know how to properly do this procedure.

We did NOT build this or compile this and take absolutely no credit for doing so, this was all done by XDA user razorbladex401 for which we are very thankful!

Thanks for watching and keep tuned through here and on www.DroidNerds.com to keep up to date on the newest Android ICS news!

I understand this is the unofficial ice cream sandwich OS but can we expect the official release to have the same performance increase? just wondering wether i should manualy update via xda or wait for the 4.0 conversion :P

[droidnerds]

@Scourgy21 Chances are the performance increase will stay, but as soon as the XDA community gets some official sources (includes drivers and whatnot for the cameras) You will be seeing some really well done ROMS. It's up to you, I personally use it as a daily driver (but it has some deep sleep issues sometimes which drains your battery pretty bad when the screen is off). Up to you.

Is 90% = to Honeycomb :S

[droidnerds]

@Gatech0 Pretty much, the layout and most of the things are the exact same if not very similar. The system is just very fast compared to Honeycomb.

is this an update? where can I find it?

[droidnerds]

@22s22a It's a development build, there are currently many things broken. It's only recommended for people who are familiar with flashing.

"You can have it as big as you want"

That's what she said.

I've got an idea... shut off your FU**ING ceiling fan... thanks.

[ccaian1]

No offence, but the fucking menu button is ugly as shit.

[MzzzD]

Would you know how to fix a video? After I updated Im not able to watch any videos off any sites except youtube. I always get this blue colored Lego looking shape with a question mark inside.

[Ruperth316]

that ceiling fan is annoying...cant even look at the screen coz of it

@ngwhite it comes with android 4.0 ICS

[heckty13]

help, please. where do i post a question about the new android 4.0 that i was directed to download to my xoom on 1/18/12. i having troubles with the xoom screen going dark when i have my xoom connected via hdmi cable to a tv monitor. for example if i activate an icon, from a web site, for enlarging the web site video, the xoom screen goes black as well as the tv monitor. i do however continue to hear audio.

[cthomas1701]

Ice Cream Sandwich has absolutely messed up my xoom. My browser locks up intermitantly and I have to reboot the tablet to get the browser to clear from the screen. It looks like Hello Kitty pucked on the whole thing. So far all its done is make me want Honeycomb back in a big way. I never had these problems with honeycomb. The final release sucks bad.

[ngwhite]

Where did you get that clock widget? Really nice...

@oren760 Do you have a USB host cable?
