The day I have been talking about has arrived! For those of you not familiar with loading your hacks and system modifications via the ROM Manager or Quick Boot you will see that hacking your Xoom just got a whole bunch easier. You will now be able to back up your device, in its current configuration, theme it, mod it, change it, and no matter what happens you will have a backup of what you had before. So, if the worst happens, you will be right back to where you started via a system restore. Also you will not be at the adb prompt very often anymore since you will be able to load mods and themes via a ZIP file though menus.
Without thinking I kicked off a backup right away forgetting all the Movies, and MP3's I have loaded on my Xoom so now I have a GIANT backup running to my SD card. (It was early and I was excited) but all is going well. What I need to do before the next "real" backup is move all my large media to the SD card so only the "core" system and apps get backed up.
If you are rooted you download (1) file and installing the mod is just a few commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
If you would like to load this more information can be found here on XDA. I will have more information after I have had time to play with it a bit more.
