Gingerbread SDK IS OUT! - Epic 4G General

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
whats this mean for us??

People *****ing that the epic don't have it
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

lmao. fair enough

A more important fact is that the first 2.3 phone is Nexus S, which is almost identical to Galaxy S in hardware.
Most importantly, it has hummingbird 1ghz cpu.

can roms be developed for the Epic using this SDK?

Don't be so quick to discount what the community is able to do. However, the kernel source may be needed to get it working properly on our hardware. I'd just say don't hold your breathe for it, it can be a lot of work to port code, just look at cm6.

So gingerbread is running on n900, hd2, iPhone3g and EVERY other android phone, EXCEPT the epic.
Why do these non-android phones have the latest build before we do?
What's so different in the epic that gingerbread won't work?

Most of the important stuff is done retardedly by Samsung, and they don't release source code for their retarded implementation. They make it pretty hard.

I haven't seen anything about why is 2.3 hard to port...only threads about froyo
I was only curious. I wanna know if its because no one is working on it because they're working on cm6 or is there really something blocking it.
I don't mean to belittle the devs working on cm6, their hands are tied and this wasn't meant for them and I'm only waiting on mms to just flash it and never look back
I'm just a curious little monkey!

Its garbage. Its a proof of concept. We had gingerbread booting on the epic like a day after its release, but not in a functional state. Why completely rebuild an OS when you can take what we have and make it as functional as possible. It would be a waste of dev talents to hand build a Frankenstein gingerbread when there is so much else to work on.

Will there eventually be any roms that get rid of the webtop stuff all together? I have played around with it a bit and ultimately found it to be worthless and haven't used it since.
I want vanilla android! It sucks that is so much to ask for in this market. (I had Nexus S but cannot live with t-mo.
I'm sure there are devs working on porting ROMs such as CM7 or AOSP. Patience is key right now. I know some CM devs are receiving some Atrixes.
Give it a few weeks. ROMs don't appear over night.
Hopefully man I just want pure 100% android

Me too. I could care less about CyanogenMod. I want PURE ANDROID!!
I just want my Tegra 2 dual core phone to HANDLE LIVE WALLPAPERS.
I also want the WIFI to work (stopped detecting WiFi altogether)
Will be posible to port any variant of Honeycomb? Honey can handle the DualCore module, is AOSP and has HighRes. I think it will be better than any 2.x.x. Motorola Xoom has a very similar hardware so I don't think that it's imposble, but all you are the genius here

Multicore works perfectly fine in the current version of Android on the Atrix, as well as Gingerbread. Honeycomb will not be backported. Look forward to Ice Cream Sandwich instead, which is the "new hotness" I guess you could say.
If you want better multicore support, look to the app developers to add it into their apps. Android can run multicore but without support in the app, as I understand it, it won't use both cores. I am sure someone else with more knowledge about the underlying structure of Android could shed better light on the subject.
Honestly, where does this misinformation stem from?

I'm really starting to get tired of this. If Samsung is going to continue prolonging the wait for official GB they should at least throw us a bone and give us kernel source.
what if kernel is what they are having problems with fixing?

Even if it was the kernel, it would still help our devs with adding CM7/MIUI support.

This means Stratosphere will come out soon. That will help us on MIUI and CM7 etc, because it's kernel source will help us.
Also, same specs as epic.

I think that's just a software limitation and it could be fixed by modifying the kernel settings.
For example, when I had my HD2 with stock Windows Mobile 6.5, the maximum recording resolution I managed to get was ~ 640x480 .
with hacked Android 2.3 installed (Ported from the Desire) it jumped to 800x600!.
with hacked Windows Phone 7 (Ported from the HD7) it jumped to 1280×720!!!.
