How to Install Tiamat Xoom Kernel Boot Images For Honeycomb 3.1 ONLY
Be sure to flash your boot image first! Then flash your kernel (see detailed instructions below). You can flash the boot image and kernel back-to-back in the same recovery session. Don't worry. If you mess up and flash just these boot images, your device will still boot.
Instruction for flashing Tiamat Xoom

1. Reboot into recovery.
2. Go into "mounts and storage"
3. Select "mount USB storage"
4. Your SD Card will now be mounted on your computer. Drop the kernel (and boot image pack if applicable) onto SD Card.
5. "Go Back" then go into "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard"
6. If you are flashing a boot image pack, flash it first. Then flash the kernel zip.
7. Back out to main menu and reboot.

Release Notes for 1.4.4 from BRD: 1.7Ghz is likely as far as we can push the Tegra2 cores. We have stress tested the heck out of 1.7 and it is safe. However, safe does not mean stable. BRD can run 1.7 on Interactive governor all day and it's smooth as butter. Other folks get reboots. If you can not run at 1.7, try 1.6. Everybody who tested was able to run at 1.504 without any problems. Just because this release is clocked to 1.7, that does not mean you can not run at stock speeds. Simply do not overclock. The settings for 1Ghz are identical to stock settings. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you leave your device on INTERACTIVE. You may use Performance solely for benchmarking purposes, but then PUT IT BACK.
USB Tether: Plug OTG cable into Xoom. Plug phone with microUSB cable into OTG cable. On phone, enable USB Tether. On Xoom, run the following in terminal or script manager (Scripter, GScript, Tasker) of your choice.
Code:
dhcpcd usb1
setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
The Xoom will not show any indication that there is a network connection. But pull up your browser and surf away. Like I said earlier, I tested this personally on the Evo with a Sense rom. It works perfect. However, there are countless devices out there. Your experience may vary.
Changelog:

Reason: Updates
Awesomeness! I have had bad luck with the Tiamat kernal but I have a bit of free time to test her out. Unfortunately my problems were random reboots about every 6 hours of use. So it can take awhile to get the reboots. Hopefully this is fixed.
Edit: Took me 13 minutes to get to the website, download and replace the files, do the adb commands and I lost no data! Back up and will give it a couple days to see if the reboot issue for me was solved. Props to the guys at XDA.
Edit 2: SD card works great as does micro USB and Overclock! My charging light now comes on when plugged in and on. Before it only came on when the device was off.
And although there were some quirks with Jrummy OC app I finally got it working.
The ondemand governer is broke. Lag and horrible browser until I switched to interactive. Much better result and a huge increase in quadrant and a little in linpack.
Edit: Got a reboot at 1504 ghz. Dropped it to 1400 and seems actually faster. I'll give it another 48 hours but it better not reboot again. I wish quickclock supported Xoom.
Can anyone help with loading this on? When I did the unlock bootloader and root it was all with the one click version. how and where do I put these commands in cause I really wanna learn how to root and install custom roms.
