Its unofficial. We have CM7 and a few others to choose from if you want gingerbread.

I was referring to how it is unofficial at the moment. Its a leak and hasn't been officially released yet. Remember when the froyo leaks for the epic came out? It took a long time for sprint to roll out that update (since the leak). Just saying..not disagreeing

Yet the leak comes out for Motorola before HTC's own products; ex: Evo. Lol weird.

Dj25 beta

I've been running it for a few days and I have to say its a lot better than DG27, DI07, and DI18.
I would've preferred this over any of those official releases. It has its fair share of bugs, but their not hard to workaround once you figure them out and Its battery lasts loadsssssss longer than I did ith any any the official stock roms.
I can't go back to eclair lol. I need an official release of froyo now because it can only get better lol. I might not even have to root ith stock froyo at this rate :O

So is this a newer Froyo beta than DK05? I still haven't figured out the naming conventions.
I can't find it for download... am I missing something?

I don't think this is a newer build. The "J " indicates it was released in october. (J is the 10th letter of the alphabet).. and "k" is November
Tapatalkin it from my Epic 4G
Oh, and then I suppose the last two digits are the date? Makes sense I guess. Until next year... but then maybe it will go to EXxx?

I don't think D a year; S. Korean Galaxy S (M110S) starts with "S" instead of "D."
Im pretty sure I read it confirmed that the first letter does stand for the years (age) of the android OS.. so a release next january 15 would be EA15. .. just like last year's releases were C. .. like CJ05

it is going to happen the nexus one can run it. Our phone is much more powerful that the the nexus S is very similar. They pulled back froyo. All signs point to us getting it but it will most likely take 2 months for binaries to be released and a build to be compiled. And I don't want to hear the nah sayers going on and on that you can't trust samsung blah blah blah... Even noob said we are getting it and I know he is on this inside track.

This isnt 3.0 it is a build upgrade from 2.1 a totally new build takes about 6months and upgrade is about 2 months.

We will probably get it around the time that 3.0 comes out or 3.1 usually how it works. 2.3 comes out now..sprint releases 2.2 to epics... at least we get updates faster than most US carriers do. Look at evo. Sprint plz OTA 2.2 already.

Droid already has 2.2.1 - boss man got it last thursday OTA i think. He isn't rooted.
Droid X went live on the 10th as well.
All in all google is going to greater lengths to help push out the updates faster. Its one of the biggest gripes with android. Look to the gingerbread update to change things. After gingerbread android os will be much more uniform.

I expect things to change greatly once 3.0 comes out..this is when release cycles for android will slow down thus giving manufacturers more leeway..
Agreed. I think they are planning on phazing out UI overlays as well when 3.0 comes out. No more motoblur, sense, tw, etc. For the tech geek we like it because we port things over from other platforms. But the Ios boobs they just want something shiny and homoginized, and that's probably the demographing android wants to really take on

Utter misinformation.
As of today, Samsung's U.S. Galaxy S support site on Twitter still denies that there has been any such announcement.
@JoeBatson no official statement about updating US Galaxy S line to 2.3 has been made & we aren't prepared to discuss this at this time.

I think we will see Gingerbread in the form of a flashable rom before we see an official release, if we even see one. I hope we do.

Latest system version.

Is 2.3.20 the latest system version for the D2? If its not is it worth upgrading and re-rooting?

You can't upgrade until motorola decides to OTA, which you won't receive if you're rooted.

Supposing that happened...I would have to un-root to get it. Then would re-rooting from a new system version be possible? Or would we have to wait for a new root to come out.

Sent from my DROID2
yeah, P3Droid, the first person to report on this, said the D2G and DX might be seeing updates, he said that moto considers the D2 to the "red headed step-child" or something like that and wont be seeing updates, he is a very reputable person and isnt like nenelod who was trolling us, when he says it, its probably true
That's just depressing. I just got my D2 and opted for instead of D2G thinking it would have some more love. Guess I should have done more research. At least we have some good Devs. I helped my friend root his Devour and they are really hurting for ROMs.

*the gingerbread thread*

Well, now that most of us have FroYo, I thought that we might be lacking something to WILDLY speculate about... sooooo GINGERBREAD ANYONE!?
Some of our friends in Europe already have gingerbread on their Galaxy S's, so the question is, when do we get ours?
Now I know that it took us over six months to get FroYo, but that was due to some sort of disagreement with Verizon and Samsung (most likely over Bing). However, since we now have 2.2, I would *assume* that they have gotten past that and that any future updates we get will most likely come in a more timely fashion.
If things go accordingly, and Samsung and Verizon play nice, then I would assume that we would be getting gingerbread around September or October (based on how long it took FroYo to be distributed to other carriers).
What do you guys think?
P.S. I'll post any major updates that appear in the media.

Grow up.
OP: I think the gingerbread update is going to take even longer than froyo because the gx2 and the charge are going to be out. Samsung is most likely going to update those before they even think about us.
Unfortunately, the truth is: we don't know when the heck Gingerbread is coming for the Fascinate. And with Samsung's somewhat random updates, its really hard to guess even a general date.
If we can get CM7 and maybe officially supported by CM. who cares about stock GB. If JT and PK's work becomes bug free, and it looks like they have done great job, I think we might see gold.

Having the source code from the gingerbread specifically designed for our phone would make our build of CM even more stable.

So... who wants to form a petition to change the name of the Fascinate to something that includes "DROID"?
My vote is the "DROID Wolfpack". Perhaps this requires another thread..

How about the Droid Orphan, cuz that's what it's felt like sometimes. The only thing keeping it going has been the adoption by this community of devs.

Completely untrue. The droid name means nothing. Carrier and manufacturer are the same. Hardware is the exact same as a the fascinate other than the fact that it has a 4g radio. Its a last gen phone in the very beginning of a new generation... No one cares about it. If anything, its twice the orphan than the fascinate was.

How much do you want to bet the Droid Charge will see Gingerbread and more minor updates than the Fascinate just because it's in the Droid lineup? Both phones are nearly identical when it comes to software. Nearly every phone in the Droid lineup has had great support(except for the Eris and maybe the Pro).
I honestly don't think the fascinate will ever see gingerbread in any sort of official way.

Android 2.3.x only available for new customers

http://www.gforgames.com/gadgets/ne...-4g-android-23-gingerbread-lucky-users-12662/
It seems that Android 2.3.x is only available for new customers with new devices.
We should have an uproar! We should be running the beta of Ice cream Sandwich as their should always be a beta available to everyone who wants it. Heck I want Android Version 5 just because outside of google no one knows about it.
