You should never buy anything dell related Doctor saheb. Dell are a load of rubbish. Is there any particular reason as to why you want to root it? However for rooting and custom roms, the XDA developer forums are the best, see the following page;

I was thinking about rooting my tablet too recently, its getting on a bit now and is incredibly slow.

I was thinking about rooting my tablet too recently, its getting on a bit now and is incredibly slow.

Brother i went for it due to its dual core processor and Tegra 2 chipset. The main issue is that i want to edit its "build.prop" so that all the apps compatible with this device become visible on the market to me. Till now most of the apps are not visible on the market for it. When i manually try to access such apps through Google Play's website , i get a message "This application is not compatible with your device". For example , i can not see and download any of Gameloft's games. This issue won't solve till i edit the "build.prop" and that can only be done if the tablet is rooted. Check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1583385

Now when it comes to rooting , its much complicated for a nontechnical person like me. I think that the thread you mentioned covers rooting for Dell streak 7 running on Froyo or Gingerbread. Unfortunately i am running a HoneyComb (android 3.2) and rooting dell streak 7 for honeycomb seems to be much more complicated. Its an almost 15 step process http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1393263

Rooting the device seems to be an unavoidable evil. To use all the features of the device , it must be rooted. I have previously rooted two android devices but that was a simple process. I just had to download the "update.zip" file , put it in the SD card and boot the device , upon the restart i had to select "upgrade from SD card" and then select this "update.zip" and it was done with out any problem. In the case of dell streak 7 , i fear that i shall brick it if anything went wrong during this process.

I hope your device does not give you such a headache while rooting it.

dr.ati saheb have you tried contacting gameloft?

One of the games on play store was showing it wasn't compatible (on google play) with my device, but I had seen others using it on the very same device. I contacted gameloft and they gave me a link from where I could download it.

In terms of rooting your tablet I suggest you leave well alone. I'm just waiting until I finish my thesis, then I'm gonna have a go at rooting my Xoom, though I have been reading up about it. It too seems to be a rather complicated process.

Hmm , its a nice idea to mail gameloft instead brother. I think they will have a solution for it. I have also seen them optimizing their games and apps for devices with which they are ordinarily incompatible. I shall try to contact them about it. I have left the idea of rooting the device as it is too complicated for me. My pc does not recognize my tablet to begin with. I tried for a few days to fix this issue but yet it is unsolved , let alone rooting lol. Which version of android is your Xoom running on? I hope its not 3.2 honeycomb as it seems to be the most unfriendly with rooting version of android.

My Xoom is running on ICS android version 4.0.4. I decided to do a factory reset before updating to ICS, as it was getting a bit laggy from the endless amount of apps I experiment with. Now it runs smoothly without any glitches and combined with the tsf shell/launcher (a bit expensive but well worth the price) it looks pretty nice too.

I disagree brother Pluto, not sure about the laptops but their pc's are rubbish in terms of their reliability.

Hmm..from personal experience, I can say dell's pc's and laptops are the safest buy...anyways no problem..
