Might want to mention that the Xyboards are still called the Xoom 2 and Xoom 2 Media Edition (for the 10 and 8 inch versions, respectively) in Europe (or at least the UK) in the OP.

If I connect a USB Mass Storage Drive to my Xoom WiFi via a USB Female-Female adapter, will the OS actually recognize it? Or will I need an additional app for it? Or will it outright not work?

Alright, so my Xoom (original, WiFi Only, 32GB, EU) finally updated to ICS. It's rather nice, but there's a few new quirks it introduced that I don't like much.

First, for some reason the lock screen doesn't obey the screen rotation setting, and keeps rotating even though it's set to not rotate. Second, I can't see an option to change the lock screen shortcuts. Is there any way to change these?

So I'm finally looking to replace my Nexus 7 (2012) due to Christmas money, wear and tear and the fact that within the last month it's started running like total poo poo if it's left on for more than a day, and for some reason every tablet in my price range has added software I don't want (the Fire tablets/Tesco Hudls), is from some company I've never heard of or has an Intel Atom CPU.

I'm just wondering, am I likely to run into any issues using Android on an x86 CPU compared to my N7?

What is your price range exactly? What I'm hearing is that you might not be able to afford something that actually outperforms your old tablet.

About £130-150, but at this point anything is likely to outperform it because it's running like trash.

The Hudl2 is drat near stock android. Use another launcher, disable tesco apps. Done!
Mine runs like a champ.

Does that get rid of the stupid Tesco button on the Home screen?

That's a software issue, likely. Did you upgrade to lollipop? 5.0 is broken and you need 5.0.2, which is available to download and manually flash. Makes the tablet usable again so well I'm shocked they haven't pushed it to OTA.

It's on 4.4.4 with no updates available.
