Just run CM7 in the mean time. There are also bone stock gingerbread roms around.
What ones? I know of no totally aosp gingerbread for g2.

There's not one single pure stock AOSP Gingerbread based ROM for the G2. Period. Every single one of them is built off CM7, which has lots of bugs. If you don't believe me about the bugs, check them out on their site here...
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/list
There's currently 305 issues with CM7, which blows my mind. I've always loved the CM ROMs for my MyTouch3G, MyTouch4G, and 6.1.1 for the G2. However, CM7 has too many bugs for me to use as a daily driver. I prefer running either Sense or Froyo ROMs on my phone, but once the official Gingerbread source code is released and used by devs I'll probably hop on that in a second.
I obviously don't want a gingerbread based rom, especially since I asked when the official gingerbread would be released. Thanks though.

The only issues I ever experienced was video playback in portrait mode (which I believe has been fixed now) and the Gmail marginal issue (which is STILL broken). Other than that, it's been good to me. But, because I use Gmail religiously throughout the day, I can't use it as my daily driver.
xboarder56's stock gingerbread rom is pretty awesome. it is very stable and has enough mods that you can really tweak your phone, also it is crazy fast and he updates regularly.
On a side note since it's not really thread worthy, If I'm running stock rooted de-odexed Rom, will I be able to just upgrade to Gingerbread as if I wasn't rooted. I mean would I be able to just upgrade to it with no problems.
Not sure what"s exactly meaning of "Official", from T-mobile ? There are so many GingerBread ROM, i vapourily see a office ROM publish in forum, not quite sure.
For most devices it comes stock or has an update released. If you have a rooted device, and want it, download "ROM Manager" and download "CyanogenMod 7.0.0" and this will not give you 2.3.2. but it will give you 2.3.3! But if you want to get it through, Android Via OTA Upadate, you will need to wait til late June 2011.
If it makes anyone feel better the euro galaxy S has an official release + published kernel source, looks like moto is also rolling out GB for it's X's.
For the newly released devices it comes stock, if you want it, Via OTA Android Update, for the T-Mobile G2 you will need to wait til late June 2011. If your device is rooted and you want Gingerbread you will need to download ROM Mangaer and Flash the CyanogenMod 7.0.0 ROM.
So we have been blessed with android for almost 3 years now. Out of all the different treats Google has cooked up for us which one has been your favorite and why? For me its kind of a hard question to answer straight forward. A few of you may say this question seems irrelevant but I have a feeling some of the answers may surprise you.
Cupcake/doughnut was my first experience and brought us by far the best battery life.
Eclair kind of began to bring some much needed aesthetics to android.
Froyo gave us the glorious flash!!!!
Gingerbread.... still trying to figure out the point of that update, or at least why its a different version name
Honeycomb could have been the ****, but imho was rushed out way to soon.
I really liked eclair on the Droid
wheres the option for windows mobile. haha just kidding
Froyo
I started with Froyo as my first Android OS and I loved it coming from Blackberry. Well since GB came out I figured I would give it a try since i've heard alot of good things about it... I've tried it a couple of times now but in the end I always go back to Froyo (mysense).. I know alot of people say it's heavy and slow but the setup I've got thanks to the Royal team it seems no slower than any GB rom i've tried... I like GB ok, if i do decide to stick with GB as my daily driver it will probably be Royal Ginger I really like what they've done with that one...
I have to say that my favorite variant of Android is 2.3 AOSP. B L A Z I N G fast and really slim. Just gets the job done without all of the fluff and puff that others bring.
iOS is nice. I own an iPod Touch. But for a daily driver i cannot live without my Android.
I switched from blackberry and might switch back if they ever make a powerhouse phone withstand he big form factor....the bold touch that should be out soon might be it....I love android....but I love my bold's keyboard even more
MT4G + Royal MIUI + Faux's BFS LV kernel
Eclair was a HUGE improvement over 1.x. Froyo was a big improvement over Eclair. Gingerbread didn't bring significant improvements over Froyo for me that are worth dumping stable Froyo pure Sense (DHD) for funky Gingerbread Sense ports with problems. I want to be able to record videos. So, I guess it's Froyo for me.
Froyo runs the best on my phone
I like stock Froyo on the Droid Incredible 2
I had installed gingerbread on my myTouch 4G and now I have the G2x, and I must say, I miss gingerbread!
I have faux123's aosp gingerbread, its my daily driver as its fast and bloat free.

+ 1 here, CM Nexus Gingerbread by faux123 is a great clean rom.
Alright, I'll start the story here. I got a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate (SGH-i897) from AT&T about a year or so ago. I really enjoyed the phone with Eclair 2.1, then Froyo 2.2 came out.
At that point I started messing with some custom ROMs. One of the best ones that I used was Cognition. I stuck with Cognition up until 4.3.5, and then found Serendipity. At this time Serendipity 7 was the latest build for the Captivate. After loading S7, I found that to be the best ROM I have used to date for that phone.
I have since switched to a Galaxy S II (SGH-i777), and I am running Serendipity 8 on it.
Well, with that giant back-story, I'll finally get to my question. I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 7510 (Wi-Fi Only), and I'd like to ask what custom firmware "you think" I'd enjoy on my tab, based on my fondness of Serendipity 7 & 8.
I know this is a broad stroke question, and I appreciate any feedback. I just don't want to play trial and error with all sorts of crazy roms.
Thanks!
What version do you have, 3G or Wi-FI?

Galaxytask Tom
Or the preview version of ICS
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
Read through the roms and see what you fancy I'd suggest ! that's your best bet as your tastes are probibly different than mine.
Task 10 is what I'm running as it fits my everyday needs and its 200% better than stock hc
I have only tried Galaxy Task Slim 13.1, Overcome 10.1 Series v2.2.0 and the ICS build (which I liked the best). ICS is buggy but blows the others away.
Edit: Overcome CWM Recovery v5.1.2.6 seems to work the best for a CWM btw.
Def the ICS port, actually makes the tab usable, I stopped using it since it was so slow and laggy on HC
Kang ics preview is good to go but without cam at the moment

Yeah I was sad about no camera but then I remembered how bad the pictures my tablet takes are.
I have used bindroid and galaxy roms and both are great. Best thing is to try them and pick what works best for you. Also Pershoots kernel is amazing
Hi all...this thread is specially for the people who would like to know the difference between Gingerbread and ICS in short.. so please share your reviews about ICS if you have already updated your device...so that people could know the difference between these two firmware.

ICS is better by 1.7. It hasn't been proven, but it is scientific fact.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Difference is way lengthy and it will account for ICS. But to my experience, in short, GB is way more polished, stable and finished, ICS is not, it is still immature. Oh, doesn't matter what ICS. Both Stock ICS and AOSP.

+1 on that...
I feel the same... GB feels a little more polished...
I am using CM9 and i love it...
I tried CM7 too but since they stopped developing it i didnt feel safe or happy ( dont know the right word ) using it...
I would """ATM""" and really """ATM""" prefer a fully funcional CM7 or any other AOSP/AOKP GB Rom...
The Best difference for me was
In ICS you can DISABLE Stuff you dont want like...
I have disabled all the music hub, games hub, social hub and readers hub as I never used them.
along with the news and weather app and kobo and yahoo finance
so thats one great feature I like.
i was a nokia fan,untill android came out i got diff droids now an wat i expirenced is the phones r made for wat firmware they come outa box an one update not a totally new firmware...its a logical fact (money factor)
ICS is Blue
ICS has a loyal following of idiots .
Not much else to say .

ICS requires Bluetooth Pairing to send files = Backward step - worked well in Gingerbread
ICS Exchange Active Sync is broken in a number of ways = Backward step - worked well in Gingerbread

ICS is windows 7
GB is Windows Vista, if you understand what I mean.
BUT, ATM, there are few bugs in ICS that need polishing. It's not yet as stable as it should e.g.
-Black screen of death. Screen just goes black for no reason and the only way out is to reboot.
-Wifi at times does not switch on. It turns pale green to indicate it is initiating 'turning on' but hangs there. Solution is to reboot out wait a long while.
-WiFi direct crashes when you are connected for to long e.g. sending large files.
-Wifi direct experiences pairing problems.
But all the positive overshadow the negative. It's to much to be said. With every new ICS release comes the polishing of bugs, just as was with GB

More like XP reliable and works but not as something that ICS will eventually have .
The bugs in ICS following on from GB should not be in the build or they learnt nothing .
So far ICS has no improvement over my current GB set up and that's after trying 50 odd ICS builds .

gb seems more polished, because it had 12 months to fully develop, till it was "finished" with version 2.3.7.
the first few samsung stock roms with 2.3.3 were terribly buggy and had a horrible battery life. it took 8 months since the first release for the GB roms to get as good as they are now.
then come the noobs that think that ics will magically work from the first day on with samsung stock roms and all the customizations they put into it. and now that the hype is over, people start realizing that ics with touchwiz is not really better than GB, especially since there are still bugs but given enough time, it will eventually become better than GB.
aosp ics is way better than gingerbread, for every single reason listed in the link on the first page. there are dozens of features i use every day that i would miss if i ever went back to GB. face unlock, the search bar on each home screen (w/o taking away space for widgets or icons), new and better widgets, chrome...
but everybody is entitled to their own opinion and since everybody knows the differences or can look them up in the link on the first page, this thread is redundant and reported.
is it fast than GB?
It's finally here! A few days ago, the CM team released official cyanogenmod 9 builds for over 28 different devices, including the xperia play. These RC1 builds are much more stable, faster, and have better battery life than most fan-made ports, or previous nightly builds.
My play is broken so I can't test, but the CM9 I installed on my s2 a few days ago is far faster, and functional, than any CM9 build tried previous. The s2 build is of course also a just-released RC1 done on the same day.
I've noticed certain things like my GPS which had problems on every other ROM is suddenly working very well.
Be sure to go over the cyanogenmod website and grab a copy! You won't regret it.

No kidding, seeing as how we've had THE EXACT SAME BOTS building nightlies for almost a month.. btw, fxp is the maintainer for cm9 so anything on cm9 has gone through his team..exact.same.rom.
Hey guys, The OP is just saying that he feels it's more stable and some people aren't aware that it's now official even though it has been out a little while....but OP probably should post the link to download for Zeus & Zeusc. I think CDMA is Zeusc. I always thought FXP was somehow different but you are probably right.lol

Hi
Hi guys, will this work on the Galaxy Tab 10.1? Anyone tested yet?
I searched around Cyanogen downloads, RC1 isn't present there in the list, just the NIGHTLY releases.
I will look forward to test this amazing rom by CM9.
Cheers to all.
