yea i just found it weird the SS said 2.6.35.7
and my kernel is 2.6.35.11 using netarchy, its pretty obvious its using stock 2.3.2 kernel
It says 'test keys' & 'user debug' in the build string, it's pre-release software. No reason to doubt it just because it's kernel isn't bang up to date.
Technically 2.6.35.7 is up to date with the official nexus s kernel, my builds have a newer base because i updated it manually, among many other changes.
It's not so hard to believe that the screens could be from a test build.
this might be a early pre build.
but wont be looking like 2.4
the google developers told that 2.4 wouldnt be looking like 2.3 at all and would be totally different :3
prob some looks revering to 3.0
2.4 isn't going to look any different from 2.3, it it still Gingerbread.

what dude can't you read the post above. . . . just because its still gingerbread does not mean the GUI will look the same.
thats like saying its still windows so it will still look like old windows but be newer.
And besides here is 2.4 GUI running on tablet
so yeah its going to look like 2.2 with some tweeks towards HC

No it's not. Not even close, what a crap analogy.
You do realise Gingerbread isn't the name of the OS, it's Android.
Android Gingerbread will look like Android Gingerbread whether it's 2.3.x or 2.4.x
Windows Vista will look like Windows Vista whether it's SP1 or SP2
Also what the other guy said, you've shown 2 pictures of skinned Android. Good effort.
That is Froyo.
That is Froyo next to HTC Sense.
That is Sony's skin
Oh gosh... none of them look like stock Android!
Xperia arc using 2.4 is a error. This just proves how easy it is to edit android version.
A post by Sony Ericsson's Rikard Skogberg on the company's Product Blog contains some interesting news about the upcoming Xperia Arc. Firstly, Skogberg pours cold water on reports that some of the Arc devices shown at CES were running "Android 2.4," saying that it was the result of a "misconfiguration," and "nothing to get too excited about." (As we all know it takes about 30 seconds to change the Android version number on a rooted phone, we're inclined to believe him.)

What content? The content of the picture? The picture proves that in the build prop of some phone it says 2.4. Actually, it doesn't even prove that because anyone with any ability in photoshop could edit a picture to make it look like a phone was running something. What it proves is that there are phones. Yay. Until there is evidence that can be checked and substantiated this thread is irrelevant and should be closed.
EDIT: Even if the phones are running 2.4 it shows its a development build and there is a great chance the phone is tester. We had a similar issue on the Epic; for some reason someone got a developer's version of the Epic (earlier hardware version; .4 instead of .5 like everyone else) and as a result got a test build of froyo called DK28. As far as I know its still what most ROMs are based on but they still don't officially have froyo yet.

It's a OTA so it'll be rolled out in stages. Not everybody follows Android websites, it's supposed to reach everybody in four days. For people who follow Android websites, they can manually push the update.

there's already a dump leaked from the motorola sholes phone that's running eclair (2.0) but it hasn't been ported. (or should I say hasn't been released because drizzy already ported it) Drizzy mentioned that it's just plain android 2.0 with no overlayer such as touchflo, or blur
dam u beat me 2 it lol
Yeah Maxisma did the dump of it on this thread. They're working on a port and development. I can't wait.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567821
i am pretty excited, 2.0 looks fly. really hope cyanogen gets on the case.
these screenshots are from the motorola droid, as u can see in the model info. Drizzy tweeted this last night sayin if someone can get him the dump that he'd port it. Now I see what he was talkin bout with droid... google's finally tagging along with motorola and htc with the social integration but of course it's NOTHING compared to blur or even hero. it looks real weak with only facebook?? wow. but it's a start. this looks somewhat plain but knowing this is from a moto phone that's probably not even the stock 2.0.
It's sorta weird having 1.6 released and then 2.0 pretty quickly afterwards. Maybe Google never plans on releasing an official 2.0 for the Dream/Sapphire and 1.6 was it's last update?

Most likely, cuz the g1 had issues about whether 1.6 would even be on it... so with this update they're making sure that people will be ready for buying more new phones I guess
Cooooooooooool! This is a huge step
I'm very impressed at how big a jump 1.6 and 2.0 is, do wants that maps and Car Home, heres hoping Sholes goes GSM with T-mobile 3g (one can dream)
Looks sweet!
if you all are impresssed with the screenshots check out the boot animation on this thing it pretty nice:

Hope is that Cyanogen can move this one along. I for one really like the Facebook integration.
Also, randomly on my wish list is a Reply button always on the Gmail app, or chance to customize which 3 buttons are at the bottom of the Gmail app when viewing a message.
I'm hoping that Google streamlined the code from 1.6-2.0 so overall there won't be any major space/performance issues.

Im not sure about everyone else but I believe in Froyo. I beleive that when the official versions of Froyo and Flash are released that they will shoot Android to heights never before conceived. But all this negative publicity and "froyo is slow" threads on the UNofficial version of 2.2 is making me rather angry. Because people are stupid, (especially non tech savy people) I have bad feeling that anything negative said about this unofficial Froyo may taint the views of the official Froyo before it i even released.
So my fine friends here at XDA, what do we say about calling it somthing else help distinguish if from the official fixed version of froyo. Perhaps we could call it "Yoplait" because as we all know frozen yogurt is always better then regular yogurt. Except to Micheal Weston.

shuld be saved for the official release - if it turns out to be applicable.
On the other hand, identifying "issues" now, may be beneficial in allowing Google to see and fix them. Preventing them from being in OS2.2 when it is released.
Fear Not - people will judge the end product, whenever it actually eventuates.
Even though what is out there is not actually a hacked version, I have taken to calling it froyohack as a way to remind myself that it is not the real deal.

My opinion, it's still a Froyo build, so there's nothing wrong with referring to it as such. Windows 7 beta was still windows 7. People still called it Windows 7. Tech savvy people called it by it's build number. We could just call this build off Froyo FRF50. . .many already are.

100% agreed.
Actually I'm sure people will stop calling it Froyo and just call it 2.2 when it's officially released. People soon dropped the name Donut when 1.6 was officially out. Similar thing happened with Eclair. I'm fairly certain the Froyo name will be dropped soon enough in favour for 2.2 after official release.
All I know is that right when this test build was released I flashed it to my phone and haven't looked back once.

Uh, why?
Whether Google adds more features or changes anything in the official 2.2 update or not, you can be guaranteed that the leaked version *IS* at least 90-95% (or even 100% of what the real version will be.
Are you expecting that the official version will be dramatically different or something?
It is froyo, FRF50 build. It's just an early build.

2.0.1 and 2.1 are both eclair.

It's all speculation. Google tends to stay pretty tight until they have a press conference or release party. Look at FroYo - it was a total surprise to wake up and find that they where dropping source into the tree.
The blog-o-sphere refers to Gingerbread as 3.0. I believe that Google has round-about-ly confirmed that the name is in fact "GingerBread", but we won't have a version number till they drop source in the tree again around November. Judging from the speculated improvements, it should be a major version number change.

My guess is 2.3 is correct, jumping a full revision number such as to 3.0 would generally indicate a partial or complete rewrite of the core code.

Google has said that they will be slowing down after GingerBread(regardless of the version number). My assumption is they did not expect such rapid growth of the platform and users need a fully functional OS to make it worth buying into - A phone any more is not a quick purchase, there is a lot of investment in hardware and software. Where as with feature phones they where cheap(in comparison) and easily replaceable.
From what I remember seeing, the next update is to have some big changes making it most likely 3.0. All speculation though.
Personally I'm happy android has been updating quick. Keeps the phones newer fresher feeling longer and fixes problems quicker. I came from winmo and never got fixes and the roms bored me. Plus I really hated 6.5.
I'm holding out until December to upgrade and debate on new phone or used evo. I've been out of contract for 9 months now.

Somebody probably changed the build.prop or something.
Seems like if Gingerbread is suppose to be official before the end of the year, something should have leaked by now. An early test build, some screenshots, maybe some video? All we have seen are a couple of shopped screenshots that show 3.0 as the build
Someone out there must know or have seen something Throw us a bone here!
It hasn't been leaked because you touch yourself.
Because people don't like breaking NDAs and losing their jobs?
Google will release it when they release it.
+1 to the poster above.
And judging by Froyo experience, I guess Nexus users will see "semi-official" test builds way before the official release, once these builds make it to beta stage.

Well that's what I'm saying. When Google showed Froyo at Google IO, it didn't OTA until almost 2 months after that. I was assuming that we would see a Gingerbread OTA before the end of the year. If timetables are similar that won't happen.

You do know that G comes before H, right?
a google campus recruiter was at my university today. he was playing with a nexus one so i told him that i have one also. he said his was different so I asked him why and peeked at his screen and he suddenly pulls down the notification bar and says "oh it has at&t". this seemed like a silly reason so i asked what build he was running and he told me he couldn't say. I asked if it was gingerbread and he said yes. i asked him if he could tell me about new features and he said no.
i got some google chapstick and a google pen though.
I have been hoping leaks would start soon considering Gingerbread is supposed to be unveiled in mid October. I expect to see devices in the latter part of Nov.
Just like when 1.0 was unveiled and 2.0 was unveiled. They were followed by a device about a month after.

a google campus recruiter was at my university today. he was playing with a nexus one so i told him that i have one also. he said his was different so I asked him why and peeked at his screen and he suddenly pulls down the notification bar and says "oh it has at&t". this seemed like a silly reason so i asked what build he was running and he told me he couldn't say. I asked if it was gingerbread and he said yes. i asked him if he could tell me about new features and he said no.
i got some google chapstick and a google pen though.

Cool story bro..
So, Gingerbread has been released... when do we see a ROM for the CDMA Hero?
OH HELL YEAH!
and here's a link:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-2.3-highlights.html
Time to get a new phone, ha.
Would it run on our phones?
Hopefully one of our few remaining devs can get something going

I'm not much of a dev, but I'll be dabbling on trying to get it to at least compile. I mostly build stuff for my own personal use. I'm sure someone will beat me to the punch anyway since I work more than I would like to
Your best bet is either jaybob (he seems to be just a cyanogen builder) or aosp. I think besides the previous two I mentioned and nfinitefx45 there are no other real public ROM devs left for our phone.
Darchstar?
Nexus S and Gingerbread are both underwhelming to say the least. Color me disappointed.

+1 I thought the ui was gonna be badass. Not much of a change I am kinda curious about the obb memory management. Cyanogen is saying no pony on his tweets??? Just a heads up they changed where the adb.exe is

3.0 is probably going to be the one that has more of a UI change, pretty sure it was at least semi-confirmed a while ago that 2.3 wouldn't be a drastic change.

Yeah I read somewhere about one of the tablet makers saying that they weren't gonna release their tablet till honeycomb comes out because 2.3 isn't much of an upgrade. I just was hoping.
Here's a video I made of the gingerbread sdk. Remember I was tired.

To be fair though, .1 updates are never huge upgrades, just have back-updates and various new features that generally aren't massive (1.5 > 1.6, 2.0 > 2.1, 2.1 > 2.2, etc etc).The tablet remark makes sense, because if what's been said on various tech sites in the past is true, 3.0 will be made with tablets in mind, as opposed to 2.2/.3, which are not really optimized for tablets at all. Personally, I'm a bit excited to see what happens with NFC, as I am sort of into the idea of never carrying a credit card again.
Does 2.3 have requirements? I heard that either 2.3 or 3.0 will but I think its gonna be 3.0 since its a .7 update instead of a .1 update.

This isn't always the case but in general naming practice the code base for a X.1, X.2, X.3, X.N, series of a program are the same and the revision steps are bug fixes and maybe small upgrades. When a name changes from 1.X to 2.X that usually indicates a major revision to the base code such as a rewrite.
Such as, 1.5 to 1.6, minor step, few new goodies mostly bug fixes, 1.6 to 2.1, major jump tons of changes and bug fixes, 2.1 to 2.2, mostly bug fixes but also included major Dalvek VM upgrade, the step from 2.2.1 to 2.3 is mostly bug fixes and a few updates. The next major revision should be 3.0 and from what I have read and heard it will have a major focus on larger format applications beyond cell phones such as Tablets and Media devises such as Tv's and Google Tv.
well the evo devs are already working on a rom for us. glad i bought an evo when i did. i don't think the hero can handle 2.3.

That would be odd.
My phone seems to handle each update better than the last.
