Welcome back!
EC05 is the current, official froyo build for our phone.
EE03 will never be officially released, it was just a (nearly) complete GB build. Sprint/Samsung are still working on newer builds, I think the latest is EE19 which may or may not be the final build. We probably will not see another GB leak until official is dropped. No real solid evidence on when this will be, but rumors are going around saying sometime in mid-late June for official GB.

1. Yes.
2. No but I have been using it as a daily driver since it was posted on these boards with no problem. Everything works.
Edit: Sorry, nothing was there while I was typing. See above post.
Awesome.. I knew EE03 was a leak but wasnt sure if its supposedly the final build or not.. anyways thanks
whats new in GB for us?? Since its not a tablet..are we going to see anything significantly new in this

Maybe you're thinking of Honeycomb? GB isn't much different from Froyo on the surface, though there are a few cool UI upgrades and animations.

the tablet android version is honeycomb not gingerbread... GB is for phones
Also, while you were away the forum changed some. Technical and factual questions such as yours really belong in the Q&A subforum. The General subforum is reserved mostly for drama.
Gingerbread will allow Netflix to work on the Epic for one.

As I understand it, GB has some pretty significant changes under the hood, but you'd need a mechanic...err Dev to to explain what those are. I'm just a driver
Gunner bread has some specific optimizations now for our hummingbird processor, hardware accelerated ui, lots of new goodies for app devs, among other things I'm to lazy to type.

So, Gingerbread has been released... when do we see a ROM for the CDMA Hero?
OH HELL YEAH!

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.

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.
Froyo source is out. The last ROM to leak out was KB1, and that was almost 3 weeks ago....and it came out not long after the official Froyo KA6. Forgive me for starting this discussion (or argument, depending on how this develops), but I'm thinking that the lack of any recent ROMs in conjunction with the release of KA6 Froyo source and absolute silence by Samsung on Gingerbread for Galaxy S pretty much means there is no way official Gingerbread is coming to Vibrant. I'm just saying. Not knocking Samsung (for this, anyway, no need to rehash everything Samsung SHOULD be knocked for), because they never promised Gingerbread. I'm guessing no more official Vibrant firmware development whatsoever is taking place.
I think (and this is just my opinion) we shouldn't get too ahead of ourselves worrying about gingerbread. Especially when we have some epic ROMs to look forward to now that the froyo source is out.
I am waiting for the CM7 or teamwhiskey to port 2.3 to vibrant
If that's true, then wouldn't that mean that vibrant 4G would also not get gingerbread? Not 1 update.... at all?
Keep it in your pants buddy.
The reason there haven't been any leaks is because Samsung changed the ports on their FUS server. Haven't figured out which one it is yet.
does gingerbread even offer anything worth a damn?

Gingerbread is optimized for the Hummingbird while Froyo is optimized for the Snapdragon. It should give better performance. I finally had a chance to play with a NS for an extended time the other day and it is lightning fast bone stock. There are also some new api's that no one has begun to utilize...yet. It's like Eclair was - nothing special except for the processor boost. Icecream or whatever you want to call the next release is probably going to be a major upgrade with hardware acceleration and a ui overhaul.

Well, me, actually. I sorta deserved it.
So since we can now flash i9000 ROMS on our vibrant, can someone with more smarts then me lemme know if this leak means anything to us. I know everyone is sick of gingerbread threads already but I honestly don't know what to make of recent developments.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I think this means after some tweaking, we could have it.
Even if it is a gingerbread build we would need a compatible kernel to run it reasonably.
Seen the pics, it's still based on Twiz 3.0
Wouldn't have it been easier to just mess with the GS2's 4.0?
Oh well, GB is GB.

Now i kno Team Whiskey is out working on Gingerbread, but i remember they made a fast transition from Eclair to Froyo, but now from Froyo to Gingerbread is taking quite sometime.
Now im not rushing, im good with trigger right now...
But I want to know why was the transition so fast from Eclair to Froyo, whats the core differences in development?

because there is no official leak of Gingerbread for Vibrant yet.
They had a Froyo leak, that's why.
They are building this Gingerbread off the i9000 most likely, so give them some time.
Actually eugene built macnut off of the i9k froyo he even got gps working before the vibrant 2.2 leaks starting coming out. Honestly I don't think their working on it as much as you think they all got new phones and moved on. Hopefully eugene will step in and get us 2.3 im sure he can
Pretty sure Eugene got a G2 about a month ago. Gave up on the Vibrant.

Actually if you follow him on twitter he got his Vibrant back and he actually made a new rom for the vibrant (Ginger Clone RC3). Its good to have him back. And about the GPS people are wondering about why don't you guys just ask him if he got the GPS working before the froyo leak or after.
I beleive TW stopped working on the Gingerbread ROM actually. Krylon was the main person developing and he is doing work with other phones now/updating the 2.2.1 Frost. I wouldn't expect a TW 2.3 anytime soon.. . unless a leak hits.
Guys... Did we forget ebaitr already
That's the kind soul who leaked froyo for us!
This is when the gps ever worked for the first time.
If we want a 100% functional GB we are at the mercy of Samsung

There's nothing left to really do until we have a leak. And honestly even if they are done its all good we have plenty of stuff available to us and if I remember right they had the first experimental gingerbread out... so I don't know exactly what you are asking about. Either way if I had spent the last x months working on all this mess and hit a wall because of available information I would take advantage of the time off...

Also, even tho they are all users here, they have their own site... its www.teamwhiskey.com
There you will find all of TW's devs and even a nice little webchat (IRC) you can use to chat with others or even the devs and ask them yourself

Also agree. Let TSM get their hands on it first
After running stock for a few days (during that whole ZOMG my 3G is gone fiasco) I was about ready to throw it out the window.
After a whole days worth of prepubescent tantrums. I don't want to touch this. I think I'd rather rock Adryn's froyo SC than a P3 GB leak. Haha.
If owners were going to release anyways then i'm sure its all about where the credit goes. That's why P3 released IMO. I am glad, however, that he chose the side of advancing the android os rather than holding grudges.
I don't flash any ROM anymore that isn't deodexed (theme-able), debloated (though I do like the TW video player and Media Hub), and de-Binged (though I still find Bing to be useful, that doesn't mean I want it built into my ROM). Therefore, like some of you have already said, I will wait until it's released as a custom ROM by Nitro, TSM, or one of the other devs who have worked on the Fascinate for more than a week or two.
[EDIT]: Oh, yeah, forgot to mention - I am also going to wait for a voodoo kernel (actually I forgot that this would install a new kernel). That looks to be a much longer wait than for someone to de-B it (deodex, debloat, de-Bing) it, since, as I understand, no kernel source has been leaked. It took a couple of months, as I recall, after the DL30 leak, for a Froyo voodoo kernel to be released. That was because no kernel source had been leaked, only the functional ROM build. The voodoo kernel was based on the official ED01 release after Samsung posted the kernel source.
Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
Save yourselves the trouble and do not flash until there is a less buggy and de binged version. At the very least we know that there is a Fully Functional GB rom on Verizon for the Fascinate.
I am very surprised. I didn't think samsung would develop gingerbread this fast. They took almost a year to put out froyo then 2 months later we have gb.

EC09 is the build number, meaning most likely that a second dev team was working on GB while froyo was being finished up.

Actually, this is an old engineering build. I heard about it a while back, just never got to see it.
I wonder how long till we get an OTA of Gingerbread?
I would imagine it will be a little while. Verizon is notorious for continually pushing things back, and I don't see why this OTA would be any different.
What exactly is so great about gingerbread?
