After a long wait the first custom ROM for the Motorola Xoom has been released. The ROM was created by XDA forum member bigrushdog. Based on the stock 3.1 Verizon 3G image, the rom adds many new features for Xoom owners who want extra features and functions from your device.
Some of the Motorola Xoom ROM features include:
- Tiamat 1.4.4 stock GPU
- Root access with SU and superuser
- Desktop UA string
- Gingerbread style CRT Screen Off Animation
- Call setting with SIP and SMS capabilities enabled
- Supercircle 100 point battery mod
- Wifi Ad-Hoc mod enabled
- USB Mass Storage Enabled
- Quickboot
- Estrongs File Explorer
- Modified Flash (to work with Hulu)
This is of course the first of many we foresee although with this set of features we can assume that building on this one will be a popular choice for Xoom owners. For those of you outside of the US, this is accepted gratefully due to the lack of the 3.1 update at this point.
