It flashes, boots and works fine (I've flashed multiple times).
Did you follow the instructions?
This is made for the galaxy tab IO version (altho it would probably boot on the 'v' also, provided you have a recovery which can flash test key signed images).

sweet thanks a lot been wanting sqlite3! Do you know is it possible to add python to the mix? I've been able to get the python binary working on the tab but don't know how to link up the libraries.

Ill look in to it.

Try to delete the app completly(with data for it), and reflash.
Works fine over here (ex: su state is saved and always launches and going to app shows su as saved).

Post logs if you can't get it to go after full deletion and reflash.

Just tested with autostarts.
Works fine (tested twice, each time closing the app and relaunching).

After flashing this I now have two su files. One in xbin and one on bin. Its causing issues with some apps can not get su access. Any idea how to fix?

this does not put an su file/binary in bin.
you must have had other things in prior to flashing this.
remove the su file from bin, and reflash the .zip for good measure (in case you have broken links elsewhere, etc.).

That fixed it thanks. Not sure how the other su got there just followed root instructions from other thread

when you flash this you will be rooted/have root capabilities when you return to the OS, so there is no need to do another method on top of this.

App to update xoom for root

I made this small app to download and install the latest update for the xoom for those of us that are rooted. It's very basic but works. Hope my 30 min is worth while
After install re-root by:
adb remount && adb shell chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
thanks
This will help many! Thank you.
Thanks JRummy worked like a charm
App worked like a charm for me. Took me a while to get adb loaded on my wife's laptop but otherwise smooth as silk..

Worked like a charm. But I'm not near a computer for a couple days. Any way to re-root from the xoom using terminal emulator or the like?
Didnt work for me, same issue as the OTA update.
Xoom reboots, for a few seconds theres the android with the cogs, then suddenly it turns into download mode (android with ! triangle).
A few minutes later the xoom reboots and im back where i started... could it be my renaming lots of files in the /app folder?

That is exactly your problem.... you renamed system apps. Change the names back to the original and you should be fine.
Ended up flashing stock again and the update works. But was it the kernel or the app renaming i wonder... quadrant scores are seem lower than before 1700.

Not sure if this is 100% necessary.
I'm in Germany (thanks, Army), and came home to an update notification on my Xoom. I got excited about SD functionality and Flash, so I updated without thinking.
With the official 3.0.1 update, the only thing that I noticed was that SetCPU wasn't functioning due to loss of root user priveleges. I re-flashed rootboot.img (might have been unnecessary), and fixed the permissions on the su binary.
Maybe this is more of a problem for those of you who are stateside, but can anyone else confirm that this issue is as minor as the "fix?" Since we still need to drop down to a terminal, we might as well accept the update then fix permissions. I think maybe a script that combines these two tasks would better serve the community.

Gapps working

Pulled this off of the Kindle Fire HD thread, seems to work fine on otter2.
1. Enable installation of applications from unknown sources in Kindle Fire Settings.
2. Install GoogleLoginService.apk.
3. Reboot.
4. Install the Google Apps.
5. Start YouTube. Sign In. It will take you to Google Account Manager to create/use existing Google credentials.
6. Same goes for other apps. In case sign in fails for any of the apps (except Maps/GTalk) drag down the Kindle Fire notification bar, click on the notification for "Permission requested....." and assign required permissions.
The files can be downloaded from here

After I got both working I was able to install HoloLauncher HD. I moved it from data/app to system/app

I may not have a Custom Rom due to the locked bootloaders
but atleast I can enjoy a nice Android experience and use some of the Apps I purchased now.

Youll like this Mod!!!!
Many of us keep on trying new roms every now and then and for that we know we have to always perform this "Pain In The A**" procedure of booting into recovery to make a BACKUP of our roms!!! . Which eats up a lot battery aswell. This mod will help you make a nandroid backup without booting into recovery.

4. Reboot
How to back up:

As i said i am not the developer...just wanted to share this mod in our forum as it supports. Does it vibrates when the back up is finished? (The script from ameer's thread) . I think it has a add-on of vibration and led lights blinking as and when the backup is finished. ( We Dont have an Led light...(obvious) so that wont work.) I never ran the original script so i have no idea about the vibration thing at the end. This one does vibrate.

I did the onandroid backup with the files installed from the original thread.
2 remarks:
1) you need to install the extra zip file for s5830i referred to with a link in the thread otherwise you will get the error message that your boot partition is not found
2) while making the backup in the background it's better not to stress your phone to much otherwise you will get an automic reboot during the backup process even when the min frequency is set higher than 156 mhz. So I'm not sure if this will work if you will get an incoming call during this backup process

Hi again sir i would like to ask some instruction because I am a little bit confuse in installing this application.
1) which step would i follow first ?? here is the link of what i am talking about. V6 SuperCharger
This
Summary of Steps (Yeah, it's THIS friggin easy...)
Before you start reading, just know that this is not difficult to implement... it's easy. There's more specifics below but basically:
1. Download a script
2. Install BusyBox (Attached! - see install instructions above the attachments)
3. Install Script Manager (Enable Browse as Root in Config)
4. Load script into Script Manager (Run As Root - the skull and crossbones icon which turns green when selected)
5. Follow instructions/user prompts & select what you want
(c) zeppelinrox
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
OR this
Installing/Using
1. Download the attached V6_SuperCharger_for_Android*.txt/pdf script and save to your sdcard.
- Do NOT run the V6 SuperCharger install script at boot!
2. Run the script:
A) Load the script (V6_SuperCharger_for_Android*.txt/pdf) into Script Manager and select "Run as Root" (skull and crossbones "Su" icon - it turns green when selected)
OR...
B) Run Terminal Emulator and simply type: su and enter, sh /sdcard/V6* and enter (provided you saved the script to the root of your sdcard)
OR...
C) via ADB on your computer. In a console, type: adb shell and enter, su and enter, sh /sdcard/V6* and enter (provided you saved the script to the root of your sdcard)
3. Get SuperCharged! Just pick an option! The extra options (Engine Flush, etc.) explain things before doing anything
4. READ the script's output!
5. Afterwards, READ the html HELP FILE in the root of your SD Card!
6. Non-ICS/JB ROMS - Disable "Lock Home in Memory" if your ROM has this option. (This takes effect immediately.)
7. Optional: For a quick status check, you can put a Script Manager widget for V6 SuperCharger on you desktop
8. Reboot - required if it's your first time SuperCharging the rom.
9. Check if it works - After reboot, run the V6_SuperCharger script and check the info under the menu.
Cool! - Here are a few recent tutorials:
[GUIDE] V6 Supercharger Update 9 RC 8.2 + for Samsung Galaxy Young (includes a little KAK tutorial too)
If you are using compcache and have lag or slow down after SuperCharging,
DISABLE compache, wipe caches and re-enable it.
Non-ICS/JB ROMS - Be sure to uncheck/disable lock home in memory!
Note: V6_SuperCharger-AOR.zip is for use with Milestone's Androidiani OpenRecovery. Even if you have a Milestone, don't run it within Android.
........ AOR Usage: Extract to the root of your sdcard (Directory structure is in the zip)
.........You will now have a SuperCharger Menu on the main screen. Simply select the menu and select 1 of the 12 options.

Ad Away not blocking ads on HTC One

Obviously most are aware Google Play have blocked any ad blocking apps but i had an apk. of AdAway from my Galaxy S3 so i installed it on my One but it does not appear to block all ads like it used to even when i manually update it and reboot there's always ads in certain apps, am i using an older version of this apk. or does anyone else have an alternative apk'. of any ad blocking app i could use, or is it something to do with the phone itself?
Cheers
unless you're running a modified kernel with the protection of /system partitions disabled, your host file gets replaced by default every time you reboot.
I've adblock 2.3 and it works fine, i don't have ads in apps
Which version do you have?
And see if you aren't running a custom kernel with /system partition protection disabled.
Have Trickdroid on my phone so I choose stock kernel as it's the most stable i believe, not ready to flash custom kernel yet as development is still in the early stages, running same version as above stated and not sure it blocks any ads, any other way around this without flashing a custom kernel?

There's a mod that removes the protection from the stock kernel. It's in the development section.

unless you're running a modified kernel with the protection of /system partitions disabled, your host file gets replaced by default every time you reboot.

But only on full boot, no problem if you have fast boot enabled... Works fine for me without kernel mod in that basis
Only problem was I needed to install Ad away with titanium backup as it did not show up in the market for some reason

As i mentioned in the OP Google play no longer allow apps like ad away and similar ad blocking apps, ridiculous but what can you do.
I actually don't have fastboot enabled, I'll do that now and try again and report back.

Ok enabling fastboot hasn't made any difference, rebooted and ads are still showing in apps.
@ gunnyman what's the name of this thing I need to look out for in development section, I'll give this a go.

Adaway working fine here on ARHD8.0. Get f-droid apk, install, search for adaway, install, profit.

Is your phone rooted??

Had better luck with adblock plus than adaway, might want to try that instead.
This was one of the first things I installed (all of yesterday, when I got it).
First thing to note is that you don't have to reboot the phone, despite what the app says. Just activate it and go back to Home screen. In fact, a reboot, as noted above, will undo the effects of Ad-away.
I did notice that it seemed to disable itself at one point today, unless my phone rebooted at some point in my pocket without my knowledge, which would be disconcerting.

I'm not being smart mate but I've already said I'm running Trickdroid which is a custom ROM so figure it out for yourself :-\

Do you have an up to date apk. for that mate?

I just checked the "help" information in my AdAway app, it sets out instructions for a workaround for HTC S-on devices i.e. how to move the hosts file to data and put a symlink in system...
Think this answers the question in the OP
Per post 12 you can currently get AdAway here either directly or by installing F-Droid market (alternative to Play store)

Aye you can grab it here:
https://adblockplus.org/downloads/adblockplusandroid-1.1.2.apk
If you're on stock ROM and don't want to use any kernel patch to make your /system partition writable, you can flash this little zip through recovery (e.g. CWM) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2327934. Does exactly the same as the app (blocking hosts through system's hosts file) but applied via recovery
