Hi Xda .. hope every one is fine enjoying their PRIVATE lives!
I was thinking that the eris leak is a setup plan by htc they gave the leak so that EXPERT developers here at xda could tweak the update make it awesome do all the work and then htc download it from here and modify a little with branding and themes and announce it officially!

I doubt they are using it for the devs here to finish
They are probably using it for us to "beta test"
Or it could be a real leak with nothing to do with htc.
Lol.. if that were to be true.. HTC would have leaked it when 2.1 was released..

I LOL'd because it's believable, though I doubt actually true.
Imagine if the official update came out rooted with a2sd enabled and powered by the teknologist kernel!

for that to happen they'd need to release the kernel sources first...
@topic: if it was true, it wouldn't change anything... we can not keep htc from spying here... but it would be really funny if someone found a prove that they used stuff from here

I wasn't being serious...
It would be quite funny if they did. I'm sure they will keep an eye over here, as they seem to patch any root exploits we use, then we beat them, then they patch and so on... or maybe they just subscribe to the Linux kernel security announcement group
Kernel sources would be nice, as would an official release so we can get Google earth working and get rid of the silly cdma only issues that persist. I wonder if the original leaker could get us a gsm image?
How old are you guys? Sometimes this Forum really feels like elementary school.
HTC's devs are way more capable than any of the devs here. Why? Because they have the ****ing drivers, sources, device details. They built their OS. Sometimes we can't even get basic features working here, or get constant FCs. Sorry to break it to you, but HTC doesn't care about this Forum.
I doubt it but if at all, they might have leaked it to get early feedback. Maybe that's why we don't see the ugly Espresso version with the bubbles and ****. They might actually release some screenshots or test versions on purpose to test the waters.

I'm using CM7 right now, as are many others on this forum. It's up to you if you think it's a daily driver or not, but it's there, right now.
Patience, there's two people working on it (not together) xboarder, and krylon. Its hard to make a 2.3 from scratch.
Cm7 should be out of beta for i9000 pretty soon. Just be patient.
Remember when people questioned if the G1 would ever get updated? You know... the 3 year old Grandpa of all Android phones.
IT is running a newer version of the OS than my Vibrant. Have faith and patience man.
The same old 2.2 roms passing around, people editing icons & backgrounds, changing boot screens & apps. But at the end of the day there all froyo. eugene's macnutR14 is the most customized rom. bionix is nice but doesn't have video calls on the dialer. you can metamorph, ninjamorph, flash, push, oc your phone but its still 2.2 froyo
I want to see all the 2.3 gingerbread affects on vibrant the scrolling animation, the crt animation the camera app, the downloads app where they at holla
I can modify my own 2.2 rom theres so many to take stuff from. stop playing with each others roms work on 2.3 are you guys devs or are you editors cause it looks like besides a few your all editors

Okay, I'm starting to get annoyed at these kind of threads that come from ppl that obviously have no clue in what it takes to build a ROM from the ground on up. Just because android is open source doesn't mean that samsung's kernels are and we pretty much need compatible ones for our ROMs to work. Meanwhile, there are at least 2 teams working on gingerbread ROMs right now. I dunno about you but I'd rather have a fully stable 2.2/2.2.1 ROM out while we have the source than to take my chances and possibly brick my phone on a bug infested build of gingerbread.

I'm just upset that there is not honeycomb 3.0 rom that transforms your phone into a tablet is not out yet. i heard from the magical elf that sits on my shoulder that it would come out soon. that's why i say screw elves gnomes never lie to you.
Well I heard 2012 is the end of the world. I'm just wishing 2012 rolls around a lot faster then expected....
Aren't they only phones to have official 2.3 the nexus'? Quit yappin and start coding . Lol jk....
These devs work hard to get the new roms out. And to ask 'em to stopp bullcrapping and start on a new one is malarkey. Malarkey, I tells ya!

Word on Droid X getting Gingerbread?
Anyone hear anything recently about gingerbread on the droid x...its been rumored for a while now any idea if and when we are supposed to get the update??
I just went around today looking for just that news, and found a few sites over just the past two days.
First, they say VZW has gotten moto's GB build, and that seems to be confirmed over the various sites. Soooo super exciting!
Not so exciting part? The very next day, many of these sites say it was denied, as VZW is wont to do it seems, and we are looking at another 4 weeks or so.
Let's hope for April! I have been waiting to root, but it seems every time I am about to do it, moto comes with the official next version, so I continue waiting!
Ive heard its as far away as 6 weeks but who knows

lol i just bricked my DX thinking about it..time to get my battery charge at VZW..I hope the release is tomorrow, perfect way to end a busy Monday ..
Just curious..in the pictures I see a Froyo kernel, isn't gingerbread suppose to have a more updated kernel? like 2.6.35 or something??
u have to remember this isnt the actual gingerbread its a lkeaed version im sure motorola's final version will have an updated kernal and I really hope they decide to drop the bootlaoder!
lol oh ok... I hope so too..usually these leaks are a sign, never the less it already has a new kernel, but based on 2.2 if I'm correct..
No new bootloader. That would only come from VZW in an official update.zip file.
No root yet for consumer hardware either...we are hoping that getting this out may help find a solution.
i really really want p3droid to release this thing onto TBH!
im here trying to recover my DX via ghetto charging..lol,,dont know if its working..phone still off..anyone kno where i could get some instructions for this?

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?
FC09 being released OTA starting 3/26.

Hopefully it will be easier since he did the ei22 one
I thought EI22 would be the last...and would have argued that at length.....until now lol.
Oh well, I'll be interested to see if anything official actually comes from it and what they will supposedly be fixing. Once you load up all the patches and a custom kernel there is not much in the way of updates needed, but for stock folks I feel sorry for the awful keyboard skips and weak GPS.
Maybe it comes with google talk with video capabilities.
I would say gps fix. With the devs here I have a great working gps and a sweet workin keyboard. I actually use it every single time now that it doesn't skipp

The reboot issue is caused by a bug in the kernel. A bug in the kernel and hardware flaws are the only two thing that can cause spontaneous reboots.

+1 to that.
I requested Gtalk for our Epics be available from both the Android Market Team, and the Gtalk team itself, I would be LMMFAO right now if this is how it went down.
Android Market Team: Gtalk team, a user has cordially requested you "ok the Gtalk.apk to be seen and downloaded by SPH-D700 users on the Android Market.
Gtalk Team: Sure thing! Oh wait, we're testing Gtalk.apk, and while he assured you guys (and us) that it would natively work, there's a few bugs.. we'll be sure to contact the Samsung Devs responsible for the SPH-D700 and tell them we have the updated files for this to work, thanks for the heads up Android Market Team!
Gtalk Team: Hey Samsung Devs, a user on Gingerbread brought up a good point, with native front-facing camera support, Gingerbread isn't quite "finished" unless our Google Video chat is working, don't fret, we have the files necessary, it should be a quick fix, here you go!
Samsung Devs: *facepalm* we just released EI22 and it took a MONTH for Sprint to trust us and OTA it, but thanks.. looks like it's back to the drawing board.
Samsung Devs: Hey Sprint, we have another incremental update, should fix a few bugs, not as big fix as EI22 but still necessary, sorry we didn't include it.
Sprint: You sons of.... fine, we're cool. But you BETTER have Ice Cream Sandwhich up your sleeves for our Flagship phone or we're throwing down, YOU HEAR ME?!
Samsung Devs: We can try.
Lol... This story is of course made-up by me just now, but if it entertained you, don't mind a thanks getting hit
Afterall, I did request Gtalk.apk from Android Market and the Gtalk team, that part of the story wasn't a joke. lol

There is such a low percentage of people experiencing random reboots still and even less of a percentage within the pure stock users out in the world. So I don't think that will change. Probably adding features like Gtalk with video and maybe enabling TV out...yeah right!
