CyanogenMod 9 released for the Motorola Xoom

Highly Functional CM9 Kang released for the Motorola Xoom



Here we have it folks!  This is something my daughter, Alyssa will be VERY excited about.  She got a Motorola Xoom for graduation last year and every time her and I are talking ROMS and her Xoom she always asks me if CyanogenMod is available for her Xoom.  She would have settled for CM7 (keep your Gingerbread flames to yourself :)....  she's a CyanogenMod fan, just like Dad).

The XDA Developers that never sleep have brilliantly pulled together a CM9 ROM (Kang), that is as smooth as silk.  There is only one function they don't have working yet, which is fine with me because of this mug my parents have dealt me.  That is the facial unlocking feature.  I was never a real fan of this feature since watching the official release of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus live on YouTube.  So.....  if this feature never gets built in I'm fine with that, although I know a lot of people are looking forward to it. 

Now lets get to where and how you can get this ROM on your shiny Motorola Xoom.

Head on over to Team Rogues thread and be sure to hit that little thanks  button and more importantly hit that dontate button and buy them a red Bull to keep them ROM's coming.

Here's the XDA thread for CM9

Well, have at it ladies and gents!  I'm off to find my daughter's Xoom!

Galaxy Nexus one click root method. Actually Galaxy Nexus one click everything!

Galaxy Nexus one click root methd, unlocks bootloader and installs ClockworkMod.

 

The Galaxy Nexus one click Toolkit by forum moderator and recognized developer mskip has always been the must-have tool for owners of that device. It easily unlocks the bootloader, roots the phone, and installs ClockWorkMod to get you all ready and set up for your flashing needs, and provides many other useful options.
Better yet, it was just updated to version 3.0, which does all of the aforementioned steps with one click – so, even if you’re not familiar with all that stuff but are willing to take the risk of voiding your warranty, you can now go ahead and enjoy all the custom ROM goodness the Galaxy Nexus has to offer. Should you change your mind, it also allows you to relock the bootloader and reflash the stock recovery.
Sounds good enough? Visit the forum thread, which also provides detailed tutorials and lots of FAQs to help you get started.

Thanks to all the brilliant devs over at XDA!

I've made a quick video of Ice Cream Sandwich on the Nexus S 4G and wanted to share with everyone what I've experienced running it for the past 24 hours.

Almost everything works on it, I haven't had a chance to check blue tooth or 4G on it but just about everything else is "A" okay. 

It is sluggish at times and some apps aren't ready for ICS but.... for an alpha build I'm okay with that (the devs over at XDA and Android Central are working day and night to get this rom working for our phones, and I thank all of you for making Android phones the place to be :) ).  It takes a lot of reverse engineering and whatchyamacallits to get a port, rom, sdk and source rom on these phones, that's why I donate to them.  Again Thank You.

Here is the download link oICSv13.zip-Working Incoming MMS (Thank you aosp from xda)for an alpha build of Ice Cream Sandwich for the Nexus S 4G.  Remember to do a FULL wipe (cache, dalvic and data) before flashing. 

Again!
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.


Anyhoo...  here is the video I made outside with my crappy camera from the Evo 3D and sick as a dog.  Enjoy :)
