Figured id start a thread about it and people can chime in on what they know and what they want to know. Id like for someone to provide a link to what the up coming features are going to be and when its going to be released. I heard that its going to come out on monday the 6th and some of the features might include some more lime green and a market with music that can be purchased and also some sort of supported video chat. Any truth to this would be cool but I can't confirm anything. I know verizon usually comes out with some kind of sheet to tell users what will be included and I haven't found it yet so if anyone has information that'd be nice to share with the people here on xda.

I highly doubt it will be out tomorrow. And even if it is out tomorrow, it will be on the Nexus one. You should know by now all the updates come out to the Nexus phones first. Obviously it might not be too long after that for us to get it but we've gotta wait for Google's star child first.

yeah plus MOTO will want to make some crappy build with "ninja blur" which will take forever since they only care about the droid x so we'll have to wait a while unless you're rooted. Ports of stock 2.3 should probably be out sometime in the few weeks after it is released for el nexus uno
Not sure about sources and such but:
http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1930297/tablet-designer-claims-android-23-release
They announced its release this morning along with the Nexus S

So I'm going to make a guess that getting Gingerbread onto the Droid2 is going to require a new kernel? In and of itself, Gingerbread uses a newer kernel than Froyo, and it seems like there are some significant improvements under the hood that may require kernel support. I suppose this could be verified by comparing the source code between the two releases.
So, barring someone hacking eFuse, I would guess that we aren't going to see Froyo until Motorola decides to release it. Hopefully I'm wrong here...
Cant wait till us Non nexus users get gingerbread
I saw somethig about a new nexus phone out on google, had gingerbread and gingerbread is out to the public now. Cant wait !!

Not to be a douche but yea it is.
I really don't think it'll take too long for Gingerbread to come out. We've been running 2.2 for a while now. Other phones don't even have Froyo yet. I know they probably have to make it Blur compatible, but I really don't think it'll take too long to get.
If you are rooted you can install the keyboard. http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/06/download-gingerbread-keyboard-for-rooted-devices/

This is Motorola we are talking about. It took them months to release 2.2 for the original DROID and that runs stock Android, they barely had to do any work to get it working.

Other than the SDK, I'm not aware of a running OS on any phones yet. Other than the few people in the world that already have a Nexus S.
The eris, hero, and a few others already have custom roms of gingerbread.

I doubt they'll even bother setting up 2.3 for the Droid 2. I'll just keep my ear to the ground here in hopes of seeing it pop up in a ROM; maybe Matt will display his absolute mod-godhood and port it into Unleashed 4.0!

Problem is that the new update adds support to things not changable withouth unlocking the bootloader so we are kind of screwed unless something has changed. Or Motorola actually does something worth while.

Lol. The OG Droid was updated all the way to Froyo. I'm pretty sure that the Droid2 will be updated.
It would be interesting if the OG Droid eventually gets updated past the Droid2 (by third parties, obviously).

Yeah motoblur up until that sucks. This actually looks decent and seems quick.
I still have a Droid X my kids use for watching videos and playing games and I had to do a bunch of stuff to get gingerbread on it. Once done, Gingerbread is a well polished machine by comparison to previous versions. It adds the LITTLE THINGS that iPhone users tend to enjoy. I liked it and give it a big thumbs up.
my motoblur work like that...but......and with live wallpaper??? still fast or like a cheat?

Made that DX scream.

i made that Droid X fast on a single core processor imagine on our dual core!
i got to say one thing tho. the dock was kind of motoblurs trade mark. its 3 little green white and blue icons, now gone...

I didnt post what you quoted so I cant speak for him but I will elaborate, slightly. I have gingerbread CM7 on the Captivate and there are several things I like about it.
First and formost, and this is petty, the screen does the "crt monitor" screen on/off effect animation thingy. Its superficial, but awesome. There are several other interface changes that are an improvement imo.
Secondly, native wifi internet calling via SIP. It still takes some setting up and know how but you only have to read to learn.
Of course there are "speed" improvement like always.
Theres a Download (manager) app.
Finally, security. You probably read about that already.
Repetitively tapping on Android version in Settings->About tablet brings up what I think is an 'updated' version of an easter egg. I think before it said, "BUZZZZZ" - but who knows.. maybe it might be news to someone.
Well, I though I was being trolled, but it actually does something lol. Mine says Rezzzzz. Know of any other easter eggs? I've never been into 'collecting' them, even with all the video games I used to play. I think I remember seeing Koush say something about tapping something in ROM Manager like 100 times and something would happen, but I didn't really pay attention. But yea, if there are any other easter eggs I would love to know about them!
*EDIT* Mine won't do it again, is it just a one time thing? That would seem to follow suit with the whole easter egg motif I do believe, but could be wrong. Also, if there are others and are device specific, I have a DX, D2, D1, and DInc along with my Xoom. Might hafta search around tomorrow morning. Or just go around tapping the sh*t out things....

Heh, thanks. Why did I remember it as buzzzz IDK. I'll bet you could find the graphic in the settings apk
normal android devices, and the atrix on 2.2, use some standard nice screen transitions. to enter an app, zoom in. entering each subsequent screen the page swoops from the right. and backing out the screen swoops back to the left.
now on 2.3.4, EVERY single transitino is a zoom in/out, and i have never seen such an ugly horrendous idea before. anyone know if there is a way to bring the device back to the stock method? maybe in custom ROM with frameworks edit or something?
just can't comprehend how someone thought "hey, this looks great, let's change it to this way". am i crazy?
Yeh it sucks, but you'll get used to it...

Yes.
But to fix your "problem" go to settings, display, then animation. Pick no animation to get rid of any transition. I don't think there is a way to get back to froyo transitions.
And now that I think about it, I don't remember it ever swooping left or right. I had a zoom in to enter an app and a hard cut home when leaving an app.
Oh it swooped left and right, I just confirmed this on 2.2. Its the standard android way. We read left to right. Right is forward, left is backwards, its a very valuable ui element to all android phones flow.
Of course for now I disabled animations, but that looks bad too. I just can't believe it, I truly am blown away by this.
I don't c anything wrong with them

XDA ATRIX forums were plagued with "when is GB coming" now its plagued with "this looks ugly" "i dont like this in GB". I'm sure it wasn't easy for moto to make this at all. if you guys like the old boring crap on froyo them go back to froyo.
Theme it, change it, learn to Dev, etc.

I get it, but I am saying that I've not hated something so much and been this annoyed at something in the last 10 years. I literally hate it with a passion and ruins the experience totally for me. Its that bad for me.
Edit: and yes I do have dev experience and will see how if possible to add it back so but this isn't a simple theme solution as the transitions are likely part of the moto frameworks or similar. I'll definitely look and try to learn more. I committed a couple hundred lines of code to the cyanogen repository last year and it got merged in to final, but I'm not so great in the grand scheme of these awesome devs.

yeah, all smartass aside jokes. im sure we will get someone to make animations. usually takes a while.
need stable ROM, then themes, then hacks/mods, then little things like animations. usually how it goes. we dont have a completely stable (custom) ROM. that i know of that is. like MIUI, CM7.

Well for reference, gingerbread on all devices uses the standard method. Zoom in/out for the entry and exit point of the app to home screen, with all screen changes inside the app swoops left and right for forwards and backwards. Only moto changed to all zooms on gb, and they had it right on froyo.
All zooms actually messes you up a bit if you're doing some fast navigating around the device.

Motorolafirst Android 4.0 updates have yet to roll out, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get an official look at what the Ice Cream Sandwich build for the Motorola RAZR will look like. Motorola Japan has put up an Android 4.0 page on its site, giving consumers a preview of Motorola’s Android 4.0 customization and the new Webtop 3.0 UI.
We’ve seen several leaks of Moto’s ICS build in the past, and it doesn’t look like much has changed. Last time we checked, the Verizon DROID RAZR and RAZR MAXX were scheduled to receive their Android 4.0 update before the end of Q2. That gives Motorola roughly five more weeks to deliver the update. Once the RAZR is updated to Android 4.0, updates for the BIONIC, ATRIX and DROID 4 should trickle out in quick succession.
Take a look at the 15 videos below
Source : AndroidAndMe
That looks really clean, almost vanilla ICS. If its as good as those videos make it look, and we get webtop 3, I think I'll have a reason to leave CM9... at least until Jellybean comes out.

I would agree. The whole webtop idea has gone in completely the wrong direction in my opinion. Most people seemed to want something closer to a full Linux environment, while Moto has just given us a useless tablet view with 3.0.
With so little additions to the vanilla look, I still don't understand why it takes them so much longer to update their phone compared to Samsung and HTC...
This webtop IMO sucks.. why can`t we just get a decent port of Precise Penguin onto the phone?
