Exclamation Cant Install or open links

Hey guys i need some help . .
my xoom doesnt do anything when i click links or even attempt to download files or install apps from the amazon market .

for example , when i click a link in the browser the screen slightly dims and nothing happens . no matter how long you wait .
if you go to the amazon market app and attempt to install a app the screen will dim and again , nothing happens .

it happened a lot on the stock 3.2 room (rooted with tiamat kernel)
then today i decided to install the "hammerhead" rom and see if that helped but it seems to have possibly made it worse .

any input would be greatly appreciated .

This is a known bug in HC3.2--simple fix though:
All you do when that dimming occurs is to just rotate the Xoom, like from landscape to portrait mode--making sure you have auto-rotate enabled in settings--this forces a redraw of the window that pops-up, giving you a choice of actions...should not be necessary to do it more than once per app that acts up on you. I've heard that Team Tiamat is working on a real fix for this.
Transformer Infinity 32Gb - JB 4.1.1
ROM: CROMI v4.4 with _that kernel
Nexus 7 32Gb - JB 4.2.2
ROM: between sparksco's sabremod and sbdags' CROMi with M-kernel
SGS2 Epic 4G Touch - JB 4.2.2
ROM: Evervolv, Baked or Magical Unicorn
Xoom WiFi - JB 4.2.1
ROM: EOS 4 Wingray Nightly 180
Rockin' TWRP Touch Recovery on everything!

When someone--anyone--helps you, give them a THANKS!

Thanks everypony! I've been having the exact same issue. I'm glad that I didn't have to do a clean install. I thought it was a recently installed app causing issues.
