Motorola Xoom 3G breaking free!

Image
So, to all of you who tired waiting for 3.1 (3.1) updates for their local versions of Xoom or just want to play with custom ROM`s and for other advantages I decided to write this post. Nothing new or unknown but it is simple summary on how to root and clockwork recovery install. As a result you will be able to use ROM manager from Market to update system or use with roms available around. Important! This steps was tested in German T-Online version of Xoom 3G (MZ601) But it suppose to work on any Euro version of Xoom. Caution- US versions not confirmed. The only difference is what bootloader image you need to flash on first step. You are warned! Use this at your own risk ! Warranty void! Step 1 We need to unlock bootloader to be able to root our device. Connect your Xoom to PC using USB cable. Install ADB on your computer if you did it already. Unpack boot.zip (or boot 3.1 if your device have 3.1 firmware) to folder on your disk and open shell : adb rebo

Connecting 2 Mac Pro with DVI graphic cards to Apple Cinema LED display 27"

Image
At first site - it was a simple task. But in fact there are few important specifications. Both Mac Pro have different video cards: First is macPro 2008 - have GF 8600 with two DVI outputs, second is MacPro late 2009 with GF120 - it has one DVI and one mini DisplayPort. On the other side is Apple LED Cinema Display 27" and it have only mini Display port connector (M). This is the main problem to connect this display to any computer except those which has latest video cards with mini display port. I think it was a very stupid idea to release a new generation of displays that are worse then previous generation. Lame connectivity options, pathetic LCD matrix that make it unusable for professional photo and video works. So, back to our task, I searched for ready solution but nothing is available (at least at this time). There are different KVM solution - even latest ATEN products that can switch two computers with mini Display ports - but in my case I need not only switch betwe

Amiga hard drives Backup and Migrate

Image
Celebrating this days my 16 anniversary in Amiga world I decided to check my Amiga system. Few years passed since my last booting on miggy. Works perfect as it was ! Now it is connected to my 27 inch Viewsonic with ability to switch between my computers with only single monitor and nice thing about it is that this model able to work with PAL resolutions so I can play games and work with my BVision graphic card.Well, nice indeed but I would like to share experience not emotions. So, I guess soon enough IDE(PATA) hard drives will gone and I think I will need to transfer my data from Amiga hard drive to another media or at least for safety reasons just to backup it. I start searching for solution, but finally I had to mix few of them into one, that is the best IMHO. First step to save whole drive into image file on PC - hardfile. It will be also usable in WinUAE and it is another point. Latest WinUAE version let you do this thing: 1. Take your hard drive out of Amiga and

Keyboard state on/off on-screen display (Num Loc, Caps Lock, Scroll lock)

Problem : Everytime you turn Caps lock, scroll lock or num lock on or off it is displayed in the lower right corner of my screen. Reason : It appears to be result of installing Blue Tooth software from Widcomm . For example, if you get your bluetooth drivers from official Broadcom site. This feature was made for BT keyboard notifications, but I found that native Logitech indicators are way better! Fix: You have to change registry setting: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Widcomm\BTConfig\General\KeyIndication Change it from 1 to 0. Reboot. Thanks goes to TCO3 from Notebook forums! Cheers mate!
