[HOW] Rookie Rooting, Flashing And UnRooting Under One Roof

[Dibbles]

Goomanager is excellent as it will check for updates to both the ROM and the GAPPS file. It will download them for you directly to the tablet and check the MD5. That is as much as I use Goomanager so whether in its many options it can do more I do not know but to have it directly download the ROM to the tablet and check the MD5 seems ideal to me.

BTW - it informed me that there is now a new version of GAPPS out and thus downloaded it along with build 98 nightly.

My apologize
I copy and paste wrongly..

It should Stingray for you as for your US 4G LTE Xoom.

But if you're not using 3G/4G data...wingray will work too.
As what im using MZ601 is a 3G+Wifi Xoom and it will need stingray to use the 3G, but im using wingray as I did'nt use the 3G data

Let us know your progress

it isn't difficult. awesome

quick question: is there a thread for using goo im manager. i downloaded the update for google apps, and tried to apply it using the manager, but it didn't seem to work. i'm sure i'm missing a step or two, but i don't want to be updating everyday... just to be on the "latest". was wondering though, for future stable builds, or for just the google apps .
