Have you received the ICS update, or just another Honeycomb update? Please clarify!

I have a UK wifi Xoom 2 ME, and I'm in Australia. Not rooted. (Yet) I've been waiting patiently for this update, and then last night I got curious about the people who mentioned they might have been selected for this updated based on their membership on the Motorola forums, and/or device...

With the exception of some which mess with swappyness, most memory boosters generally work exactly the same way as a task killer. Seriously, you have a smartphone with 1Gb of ram, you really don't need to do anything to optimise memory usage. Android really is very good at this all by itself...

I stand corrected! Thanks KayvinM

Unfortunately I think you might have to install a different launcher like ADW or Launcher Pro to get this functionality. Doesn't seem to be possible with the stock launcher included in Cog.

I suspect you may be referring to the fact that the SGS2 shares it's main memory with the GPU, resulting in the total ram available to android being lower than the advertised 1Gb. Don't worry, that's normal. If not, you'll have to provide some more details on your question. Also, Task...

Sometimes you just can't get what you want... Unfortunately the lockscreen on android is pretty well integrated with the rom you're running. Either you replace it with something like WidgetLocker, which basically disables the stock lockscreen, and replaces it with its own. Or you need to...

Ok, I'll bite. 4. I just use usb mass storage mode. Just plug in via USB, and select the option on your phone to enable mass storage mode. I didn't install any of the Samsung crapware. You can copy any files you like to the device this way. 5. No, the stock lockscreen only shows new SMS...

Ah, that's perfect! :) Tells me exactly what has changed in each nightly. I'll keep an eye on it, and if anything significant changes, I'll know I should update.

I'm using CM7RC2. With #5, battery life was great. With #7? It's by far the best battery life I've ever managed to achieve with my DHD. I haven't bothered to try the nightly builds because I haven't seen the need. Can anyone report on what's changed in the latest builds?

Sorry, 'seems' is all I can do for the moment. I flashed the hrdfkn update, and had it running for the best part of a morning, while keeping an eye on the current widget logs. It seemed that it wasn't dropping back into the sub-10mA range, so I re-flashed cm7rc2, and then applied Mad's #5...

I tried both, and mad-murdock #5 seems to give me markedly better results.

I'm not sure about your internet shortcuts, but I know the wallpaper selection is backed up with your google account, so whenever you re-signin after wiping, it'll restore it from there. As for your battery drain, I have to say that 5 - 7mA is not terrible at all for AR. I know I was getting...

That doesn't sound like a common issue, and it's possible you might have a hardware defect with your phone. I'd flash it back to stock, or as close as you can find, and take it back to wherever it was purchased for a replacement or repair.
