if you mean like Gingerbread mySense, i believe HTC/T-Mobile hasnt said anything. If you want gingerbread with regular Sense, a port if being worked on. If you want plain Google AOSP Gingerbread, try RoyalGinger, or CM7.

do u know will it be an OTA update for it?

Ya we will get it but that depends on HTC/TMo as they ha e to bolt it up with useless BS that none needs. This could be in months but why wait for that? We been had GB port in MT4G from months now? Look in to current CM7 project as we are using AOSP2.3.3 port now, mostly all use it.

NOTE: This is taking you have already rooted your phone with S-OFF.
First of all update your CWMR to 3.0.0.6 as in long run it will be better for you. Follow any of the single instruction bellow as Drew's is easiest which maybe better for you if it fails then try my is little complex but it will work.

Once you have done that now you are ready to download rom/gapp from the repository and flash it via recovery which you installed above.
Download> http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=glacier
GApp> http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip
NOTE: When you are downloading you can pick NB (Nightly Build) the higher the number the newest it is as you can see the date. Then download the GApp which is the Google Apps. If you don't know how to flash it once this is done post back ill give further instructions.

Can we just flash this and do nothing else or does this require a whipe or something? Also sorry for the noob question but why do we need to update the market?
thanks for the heads up.

From what I can tell, the icons are all new. Although maps is older version and will get updated via Market and icon will be replaced back to normal. Other than that, not much difference.
It has the Google search app and the updated Voice Search.
Would love to know why there is a Twitter client in the gapps package.
does anyone know where i can get GAPPS for CM6?....i just rooted about 30 mins ago and im totally lost and every link is broken......i really need some help LOL....i know that sounded desprate
we have moved on to cm7, can still get the cm6 gapps at http://goo-inside.me/
wow thats real overwhelming to me LOL....should i just flas CM7?.....would that be a better option for me? (and is everything included with CM7?)....sorry for all the questions...did my homework on rooting, but all the stuff that comes after root im not so keen on.....thank alot
can you tell me which one i need for my particular ROM?>
HDPI
MDPI
MDPI-TINY
MDPI-TEGRA
hdpi
cm7 nightlies have 4g now, they are working very well and have everything that cm6 had, there are a few minor issues such as dialer wakelock, titanium not auto restoring, slow pc to phone transfers
ok cool....but im having a problem....i downloaded CM7 onto my PC and dropped it into my SDcard....went to the bootloader and selected RECOVERY....but its not taking me to the Clockwork MOD....its just giving me the option to REBOOT, REBOOT BOOTLOADER, AND HBOOT USB..........did i do something wrong?....this is the first time im flashing a ROM over another
P.S. Do i have to delete Cm6 thats in my SDcard, then drop CM7 into the SDcard.....then try to go into recovery?....im not really sure

[Q] No Roms for Download in Rom Manager?

I have been looking around and have seen that some other phones are having problems with the Rom Manager not listing Roms.... I was wondering if this was an issue with the Glacier as well?
I have Rom Manager Premium, and when I open Rom Manager and click on 'Download Rom', it only shows a listing called 'Extras' and doesn't have any Roms.
I was just curious as to if this is just my phone, or something the Glacier doesn't support right now? Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, I couldn't find it with the all knowing Search
I too have this.....issue? I'm not sure if its an issue or not

I hardly ever used rom manager, just download to sd and move the file to where it needs to go and flash . What I do like in rom manager is b being able to reboot into recovery
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I'm also having this issue. I upgraded to the Premium Version so that I could just download roms, however, whenever I select the "Download Rom" I only got the " free" listing.
I just tried again, and got an error message that said, " Error occurred while downloading the Developer list." When I hit okay, nothing appeared. Then when I tried to go back in to the menu, it just brought up the "free" option again...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
None of the Roms for the HTC Glacier are official
No official CM
No official Muni
No official Roms...
So all the Roms that would be available if you had another phone in Rom Manager aren't showing up. Just go to the developers page and download the Rom and boot into recovery. And Flash & Make a backup everytime.
I have a Samsung Captivate and have the issue though. . . .
I did know it was at the discretion of the developer, I was just wondering if it were only my phone... now I know it's not thanks for all the replies

who cares? I paid for an app to get the "PREMIUM" Features to which there are NONE... and there's no way to get the $ back at this point... it appears as if no devs want to allow their roms to be listed in the download section which makes no sense to me as it's easier to DL direct to the phone and flash from the phone........

Why bother? Devs are NOT obliged to put their roms/mods certain places. You have to keep in mind, you would be hard pressed to find a dev that uses rom manager and clockworkmod recovery, everyone is using 4EXT

You might lose root if you go back. Iced Glacier ROM is about the same as the stock ROM without all the TMo stuff. You might like it if you are already rooted.

if you are wanting the MySense back, all you have to do is download the file, store the MySense Nandroid backup on your SD card and flash it. You do not have to do everything else mentioned.
Oh ok what file would that be under and do I have to go to file manager or rom manger?

Edit#1:
DANG IT ! ! !
The Unlockr changed their "un root method", now they are telling people to do it via the PD15IMG variation.
Let me see if i still have the BONE STOCK Nandroid file they had @ home. I don't think i have it with me.
If i have it i'll upload it to my google docs and PM you the link for it. I don't want 9.2Million People accessing it.
If you cannot find the stock nandroid back up somewhere then you will have to do the pd15img restore and start from scratch.
Edit#2: I do have it, and i am uploading to my Google Docs as we speak, i'll shoot you a PM with instructions.

Liberty 2.0 is now Released

It is available through the donate version of Liberty Toolbox on the market! Support your ROM developers, it's only $5. I am installing it now. I will report back with all the awesomeness that has been having people froth at the mouth lol. Nom nom nom
Liberty 2.0 will be released for the masses in a couple days on the forums. They are calling this some what of a beta stage. Either way, I don't think they would release something that would need to be tested for a beta stage for $5 LOL.
Remember, you have to SBF if you are on the Gingerbread leak. If you are not on the Gingerbread leak or any Gingerbread ROM, a simple whipe data/cache will work. This has been confirmed by the developers themselves.
Edit:
My Quadrant score is 1388 on clean installed Liberty 2.0 running 1.0Ghz. Overclocked to 1.2Ghz, which is what I normally run, it's 1629. AT 1.3Ghz, I get 1724.
Edit #2: Liberty 2.0.1 has been released and you can download 2.0 for free on droidforums. Also, in the Liberty Toolbox (donate version) Liberty Gingerbread is available for download!
So is 2.0 gingerbread or still froyo?
It is froyo
Has anyone else installed this yet? I want some others to wiegh in before I give my opinions about the ROM.
Yea, My first impression is that it's a lot like 1.5, in fact at a glance you can't tell the difference. I'm at work and have not got to play with it a lot yet though.

You will need to SBF back to Froyo 2.3.340 yes.
I am not yet impressed with 2.0. I mean, yes it's snappy and quick but I don't see what the hype was all about. It is stripped down and apps open quickly but, there isn't a whole lot of change from 1.5
I think this is the best it will get. Unless you theme 2.0 or any other Liberty version, it's plain as plain can be. If your looking for speed and willing to do a lot of the work your self as far as theming and improving the ui look, I was kinda of let down by 2.0. Everyone praises how great it is...am I missing something here, lol?
I liked 1.5, but it had a couple bugs. I am hoping those bugs will be gone completely in 2.0. I was also hoping 2.0 would bring something new and cool to the table, but I really don't see it. I tried a couple other roms, and I thought liberty was faster than any of the others I tried. To early to tell if the bugs are fixed in 2.0.
I am getting a force close when I try to open liberty settings in 2.0. Other than that no real negatives yet.
For anyone looking I just found the settings force close fix on twitter.
Force close in liberty settings fix: download toolbox > access liberty settings by pressing menu> settings in the toolbox.

Let me retract my previous statements lol. Battery life is amaaaazing so far! I themed 2.0 and man-o-man....2.0 is running quite fast! There isn't a single issue for me. I installed the two Liberty Tool Boxes from the Market and that stopped the FCs when opening the Liberty settings. Other then that, holly molly is alls I have to say!
This is now a true 5 star ROM, all the way! Loading this to me gf's DX!! Locked bootloaders are a thing of the past once you really get this ROM going.

It's easy to remove the bloat from Liberty. Take the time to read the OP before you look a gift horse in the mouth. Jerk.

Were you running Froyo or Gingerbread? Did you wipe data/Cache before or after installing installing Liberty 2.0?
I used the wipe data/cache in the install que in the new Liberty Toolbox.

[Q] Liberty 2.0.1 to GB or not to GB ; )

Hello all,
My first post here, I'm checking out friend's phones that have GB running and really like the way things look and feel. Also seems to have more options or functionality over 2.2... I was wondering what the most efficient way to go from Liberty 2.0.1 over to GB would be? I really haven't wanted to change form 2.0.1 since i've had it basically the speed and function is nice as is... Is there a good reason to go to GB from Liberty and and how? Appreciate the help!
Cheers
I say GB.
I believe that you can get a GB Liberty ROM from the donate Liberty Toolbox.
Sorry I can't help you out any further.

Well, I say you do yourself a favor and upgrade to rooted GB! If you like Liberty so much, you can buy the Liberty Toolbox and get the GB Liberty ROM (and support the dev at the same time), that way you can have both. The Liberty ROM is being updated regularly because technically it's not out of "nightly" status yet, but it is VERY stable and works great. The cleanest way in my opinion to get from where you are to rooted official GB, is to SBF back to stock froyo, and then use the 2 part GB install (I'll link instructions to both). Here's how to sbf http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0jrXqqiepI. After you do that, follow these instructions using the files located here (use method two which is listed after the line that says "Patched update.zip (not signed)" in bold) http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...-5-596-release-thread-something-everyone.html. Once you are done with these steps, you can get the Liberty Toolbox and open it. Hit the "ROM Manager" tab, then "Nightlies" tab, and click on the latest Liberty Gingerbread rom (currently v0.8) and it will guide you from there. Enjoy!
Thanks!
@rruready, @Lofi Goosh-
Really appreciate the info! Super awesome I am gonna try doing it now- Thank you for the messages, hope your days are great and have a good weekend!
I'll post my results here when I get things set up-
Cheers!

If your looking to get a lot of different options, go to cyanogenmod. The only thing not working on it is the camera and gps, but it is way worth it. just look up a video on youtube of cyanogenmod 7
CM7 is what I'm running and there are definitely more bugs than just the camera (which has a workaround) and the GPS (which there is a fix for); however, I'm still using it because even with all the issues, it's still rocking my world.
CM7 for the Droid X (CM4DX) can be found here:
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?389-ROM-BETA-CyanogenMod-7-for-the-Droid-X
@ Maltmix, you may just want to try both Liberty GB and CM4DX as it really all depends on user preference.
Thanks for the great links and advise everyone! In regards to SBF, I think I have everything set up I had downloaded the 2 part file for 2.3.340 installed RDSLite, and installed motorola DX drivers, but RDSLite won't see my X.. I noticed alot of folks were saying something similar, not sure what to do from here.. I want CM7 but want to wait till the bugs are more polished lol shiny bugs! ; )

I was able to find an alternative to RDSLite for you. The instructions indicate easy use... the definite plus side is that you can burn these ISO's or put them on a flash drive to SBF from any machine.

Gingerbread Camera
I have Rooted Gingerbread on my X now, went to the Liberty 0.8GB Nightly, and all was well.. I was prompted to update or modify if i wanted via Liberty, and did that, but upon recommended reboot, i got stuck in a bootloop..
Lots of time and patience later, somehow finally got into recovery and re-flashed GB..
Everything is back on my phone, but the stock camera isn't the updated one that froyo and GB have, it's somehow reverted to the earlier not so good camera..
I was wondering if there is a way to update the camera to the most current google camera?
Thank you guys and gals so much for the assistance, I hope to be able to help other people someday too!
Thanks LG! I should try cm7dx, too really like it then?
