Everyone in #xoom for helping me test and all round support, you guys are amazing
The Synergy mod team and Treve for the various binaries we used from you guys, thanks
The cyanogen mod team as their source made implementing our quick controls a lot easier.
And now the rom! Rom Features
This is a completely deodexed rom, based on the 3.2 wifi system image. However just because Google and Motorola haven't released 3.2 for the verizon xoom that doesn't mean we don't support it! Thats right. We support 3g devices on 3.2 before Google have even released it.
SDCard support via mtp. NOTE: your sdcard will now be at /mnt/external1
Modified application permissions to allow applications that can write to /sdcard to write to /mnt/external1
USB OTG (On The Go) support. Your usb drives will now be mounted automatically under /mnt/usbOTG
Android media services scan both internal and MicroSD for media (Gallery, Music, etc)
Fast boot times. Your boot times are simply amazing with this rom!
Complete localisation support. This means that we have complete support for european devices and their languages.

You are able to flash 2.2.1 over 2.2.0 as it is mainly just bug fixes.

2.2.0 Release Notes
Boy has it been a busy last 2 weeks.
I have built a build system where we now do the majority of our coding in java. Yep java, not smali.
We now have quick controls, in the status bar settings menu.
This rom is mainly just a feature release. Unfortuantly if you had any issues regarding gmail in hammerhead, you will likely get the same issues in this release.
This rom is also still based of 3.2. Yeah I know I said I would be doing 3.2.2, but things change.

Tips
Automatically installing applications when you flash the rom:
In the zip file, under the directory "data" there is a directory called "tiamat_first_boot_install". You can place all of your apk files that you want installed when you first boot in there. This is useful for applications such as Thumb Keyboard and Titanium Backup
