First off a quote from Bigrushdog:
First and foremost, I would like to thank my wife Christy for putting up with the 100+ hours it took me to get the storage framework working. I told her I would be taking a break after this and I am. It is likely that the coming OTA will render most of this rom unneeded. However, I just have this thing with pwning Motorola Also, I would like to thank Roach from the Transformer team for breaking the back of the smali roadblock. Also, I have to thank Dr1337 from #xoom for making me double check the MediaProvider.apk manifest I hope you guys enjoy this rom. Be sure to read the change log and follow all instuctions when flashing. Thanks
Roach' - For providing the keys to the castle to make this all possible
Kelvie - Thanks for the wpa_supplicant
Steady Hawkin - Init.d support
Jewremy - For the battery circle mod
Bazar6 - For fixing up the icons left over from the theming

Important Notes: A MUST READ
Your microsd card is now mounted at /Removeable/MicroSD. Unfortuantly this means that you are no longer able to copy files directly to your sdcard over MTP.
You must perform a wipe before installing this rom unless you are currently running the beta we released.
If you're on a EURO 3G device, please note that this rom should install the correct build.prop for you, but you will still need to backup & push your telephony databases. See here.
NOTE:
That while every effort has been taken by Team Tiamat to ensure that this rom release is stable a release as possible, no guarantees are given or implied that this release does not contain bugs and/or errors that could potentially result in loss of data or functionality. Team Tiamat is not responsible for bricked tablets, dead SD cards, loss of data, loss of life and limb, or other calamity resulting from your choosing to flash this rom. Flashing of this rom constitutes acceptance of these conditions and responsibility for your own actions. If you are unsure, please do your research before jumping blindly into something you do not feel comfortable with.
Instructions
Prerequisites: Clockwork Recovery (Recovery 3.2.0.0 R4Cis still recommended) and a MicroSD card for installation
OPTIONAL, BUT RECCOMENDED: Backup your internal applications with Titanium backup
Download the 1.1 Rom, and place it on your external sdcard
Restart into Recovery
Perform a nandroid backup, and keep this safe!
Perform a factory reset within recovery (Wipe data / factory reset)

Welcome to Team Tiamat XOOM Rom - Enjoy your Stay
Once you have setup your device, it will require a reboot for external storage to mount.

TIPS
Turning the charging light off
Using root explorer, or other file manager that gives you enough control, move the "enableChargingLight" file in /data/tiamat_controls into the directory /data/tiamat_controls/not_in_use
Automatically installing applications when you flash the rom:
In the zip file, under the directory "data" there is a directory called "tiamat_first_boot_install". You can place all of your apk files that you want installed when you first boot in there. This is useful for applications such as Thumb Keyboard and Titanium Backup
Everything you see in that picture except the integral screenshot function is currently in Tiamat 1.1. The integral screenshot mod will most likely be ready sometime later today.
OK so I'm not missing something. I reflashed it cause it didn't look like the picture. So far I am enjoying it. The only thing I dont like is if you unmount the SD card you have to reboot to remount it. Nit a big issue sine boot time is super fast now.
Thanks team Tiamat
Edit
Under 50 sec from seeing the Motorola symbol to lock screen

Hmm I tried once and it didn't remount. In fact, it was the first thing I tried lol. Unmounted fine, I took the SD out, reinserted it, and nothing happened. The icon remained gone. I waited several minutes, but then had to reboot. I'll try it out again though.
I am loving the ROM so far. Really like having the SD an integral part of the system, being able to control/access it from the bar, etc. Just finishing my set-up and about to start testing some speeds. On 1.0 I was able to run 1.7GhZ for a little bit, but sometimes would crash if watching videos or something like that. 1.6 was no problem all day long tho. Boot animation is awesome, and definitely much quicker! Love that!
Overall, this is another great release that we've come to know and expect from Team Tiamat. I own several Android phones and they are all rooted and Rommed, and while I've seen some devs do some pretty great things on different devices, I have yet to see anyone impact a device as much as Tiamat with the Xoom! The difference between stock and Tiamat is just so unbelievable due to all the great, core functionality Team T has enabled us to access. Really amazing. A big thanks to them. Not to put any other devs on blast, they all have my respect, but Team Tiamat is at the top of my list. Gonna go test some more and get back here. Enjoy everyone.
Yea, my SD card definitely does not get remounted. I waited a little over 7 minutes that time. Both times I've needed to reboot to re-mount. Along the same lines, while I can mount and use externals such as flash drives via an OTG cable just fine, every time I try to unmount them I get an error saying the disk can't be unmounted. I haven't been over to XDA to see if there is any similar behavior being reported, but I'll look into it today and report back if I find anything.
P.S. Nusince: Are you a member of, or related to, team Tiamat?

Something is odd because auto mount is fully integrated and supported and should function on your XOOM without any issues. Please join #xoom on freenode if you continue to have issues with automount and we can hopefully resolve the problems that you are having.

I've tried a few more times and it just won't mount unless I reboot :-( I can "unmount" just fine, but it just will not read the card when I put it back in. No SD icon in notification area and can't access it from Root Explorer either. I'll jump in #xoom. Maybe ill try a fresh install first :-(
I'm assuming the Ad-hoc Wifi Mode means one can wirelessly tether with devices like the Droid 1, which cannot emit in infrastructure mode?
