Just thought I would throw this out there as a odd find. Messing around with a friends Atrix I was checking the version of Gingerbread & noticed I was rapidly touching the Android Version in settings and the screen quickly transitioned to an image of the Gingerbread Zombie
Stock Android Gingerbread OTA update version 2.3.4 - Just continuously touched the Android Version field as quick as possible for a second or two & this appears. Curious to see if this happens to any one else.
It's called an "Easter Egg" and it's been like that since Gingerbread was released. Here is an article from December:

Just noticed this today...I now have the froyo market on my fascinate (3 different tabs, "update all" button in downloads, etc.). I know this is the 2.2 market because I got this when I got 2.2 on my droid.
I find this weird but exciting. Anyone else get it?
yea mine has 3 tabs aswell.
I've had it for over a week.
That's not the 2.2 market. There's even a newer one coming "in a few weeks"

The market has received a few updates, and even more are on the way.
The version most people have now (the one that added the "Related" tab) is actually not the "Froyo market", though, it's even newer.
We *had* the Froyo market for a few weeks before this one (2 tabs, separated about and comments, update all, and the added auto-update checkbox), but now all Android versions (at least, 1.6+) get the same markets.
Here's the complete overhaul that's coming next: http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/11/android-market-update-streamlines-content-nukes-tabs-dismantle/
we already have that too.
Damn xda is slow on the updates.

I decided to be nice and brought it to you.

This gets flashed in clockworkmod recovery.
You are so damn awesome. First you fix my GPS and then you bring me the new market. Thanks!
Oh hell yeah. So much smoother than the previous market. Thanks adrenalyne!

I think I got it after flashing blackhole. How do market updates work? Are they completely independent of everything else? Like if I'm on blackhole will I get the new market automatically, or do I have to install it myself?
The new (ripped, leaked one... not the "new" old one mentioned here) runs like ass, and randomly closes. Anyone else have this issue?

Say it isn't so but I'm starting to believe that my loved phone is dead when it comes to [ROM]'s I'm using Apex and it's great best I've had but is it the "Last Unicorn"? I hope that we get some Gingerbread as a [ROM] but looks like we are SOL?

P3Droid already has his hands on Gingerbread and he is going to release it sometime in the future..He has an official thread at Mydroidworld.com and he even has screenshots of it. The only thing is he can't root it yet.

it's available for free download for those without the TBH app. someone leaked the download url so TBH just figured to release it to everyone

I'll read the entire thread tonight and decide if I'm game to try this out. My main concern is keyboard accuracy. Since I'm at work I really cant go through all 44 pages right now.
WOW, I feel like a noob. I post this then the next day POP GINGERBREAD I just put it on my phone and WOW i'm loving it, I had Liberty 1.5 then to Apex 1.4.1 and they are both nice but this rocks hard. I'm very happy and I don't think I'm going back, Ya No root but I can live without that...
I have been looking around and I found some interesting goodies in the gingerbread leak (and maybe in froyo, I haven't checked)
First, if you go into settings > about phone, and rapidly tap on the android version, there is a little Easter egg ;-)
Second, if you want single percentage battery increments, download the app "minimalistic text" and use their battery widget.
You know, I thought he was just trolling.
He wasn't!
Hilarious.
Nothing on Froyo

Yeah minimal text works on Froyo, i've been using it for a while now. Just wish I could see the easter egg, hopefully the OTA has it but I haven't gotten that yet either.

Guess i'll wait till the OTA hits me, plus waiting for manual root of GB.

I finally found a cupcake 1.5 SDK And actually, it boots. I'm shocked.
Its slow as fu**. The launcher is so old (if anyone knew of the gray launcher that you have to slide up (it was ditched in 2.1))
Even though, its old, I'm still going to release it. Its a look in the past and play around. I used jts GPS fix kernel and yea, GPS does not work (well its on 1.5 so nothing works anyway, remember the G1)
Ill release it soon. Its fun, slow, market is so old (black and white old) and won't update to the newest market.
I know its not necessary, but I wanted to port all versions of android to the fascinate. Who needs new? Why not flash back in time 2 years ago, cupcake was the biggest hit and phones like the moment (that had a arm v6 processor) were treated like dual core phones we have today. The G1 Also was high end back then with its
"Fastest processor (456MHz) in a mobile phone"
-Engadget
Or the moment had the
"Fastest phone ever" -Sprints Slogan.

not sure if serious or trolling hard
I keep seeing all these teenage girls with Droids now and they're like, "what's the bfd? iphone and android have like, the same apps?" I just wish all these new adopters could see this version of Android and the app selection. They'd really appreciate how far the platform has come. I'm still blown away by gingerbread and i had crazy high expectations for ICS and it still blew me away. I will probably flash this just for nostalgia's sake. Thanks enyo!

All versions of ICS have had something to that effect hidden there as an easter egg.
Even the new JB roms have the little droid jellybeans floating everywhere.
As far as I know, this has been in effect since gingerbread, not sure about froyo or honeycomb.
