Have a xyboard 8.2 rooted running ics. Just wondering what apps everyone likes to use for root. I already have titanium back up ota root keeper boot animations and a wifi tether. Any other suggestions?

I'm getting my Verizon Xyboard 8.2 on Monday. Where do I go to find root for ice cream sandwich? Thanks.

I had mine rooted before I took the update. The files I used were for honeycomb only. Im almost positive itll come with honeycomb out of the box. I cant remember exactly where I found it at. Just google how to root droid xyboard 8.2 and look around. Mine was a one click root. If you have android 3.2.2 on your xyboard when you get it root it before you take the ota for ics. Then download ota rootkeeper from the market to temp un root. Then take the ota and restore the root. Ill look on my computer and see if I still have the files and post if I do.

Use the razr404 method to root ICS on xyboard or u can use the adb restore exploit. Google with find both methods with instructions

Got my Xyboard 8.9 yesterday and rooted it today. Nice little tablet, can't wait for an over clocked kernel. Great accessories (dock and folio) make this much more useable than my Galaxy Tab 8.9. All in all I'm very pleased with everything. :cool:

Probably a bit controversial but I personally would recommend App2zip over titanium Backup.

A. It's free.
B. It packages your backup into a flashable zip you can flash right after installing the rom.
C. It's quite a bit faster both backing up and restoring than titanium.

The most important app for any rooted tablet is gmd gesture control... Try it. It will change the way you interact with your Tablet...
