It has not yet been leaked.
It looks awesome, I can't wait... and it has been leaked, it's been leaked for week or so.

there's already a dump leaked from the motorola sholes phone that's running eclair (2.0) but it hasn't been ported. (or should I say hasn't been released because drizzy already ported it) Drizzy mentioned that it's just plain android 2.0 with no overlayer such as touchflo, or blur
dam u beat me 2 it lol
Yeah Maxisma did the dump of it on this thread. They're working on a port and development. I can't wait.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567821
i am pretty excited, 2.0 looks fly. really hope cyanogen gets on the case.
these screenshots are from the motorola droid, as u can see in the model info. Drizzy tweeted this last night sayin if someone can get him the dump that he'd port it. Now I see what he was talkin bout with droid... google's finally tagging along with motorola and htc with the social integration but of course it's NOTHING compared to blur or even hero. it looks real weak with only facebook?? wow. but it's a start. this looks somewhat plain but knowing this is from a moto phone that's probably not even the stock 2.0.
It's sorta weird having 1.6 released and then 2.0 pretty quickly afterwards. Maybe Google never plans on releasing an official 2.0 for the Dream/Sapphire and 1.6 was it's last update?

Most likely, cuz the g1 had issues about whether 1.6 would even be on it... so with this update they're making sure that people will be ready for buying more new phones I guess
Cooooooooooool! This is a huge step
I'm very impressed at how big a jump 1.6 and 2.0 is, do wants that maps and Car Home, heres hoping Sholes goes GSM with T-mobile 3g (one can dream)
Looks sweet!
if you all are impresssed with the screenshots check out the boot animation on this thing it pretty nice:
http://phandroid.com/2009/10/15/motorola-droid-boot-video/
Hope is that Cyanogen can move this one along. I for one really like the Facebook integration.
Also, randomly on my wish list is a Reply button always on the Gmail app, or chance to customize which 3 buttons are at the bottom of the Gmail app when viewing a message.
I'm hoping that Google streamlined the code from 1.6-2.0 so overall there won't be any major space/performance issues.

This explains the lack of updates form many devs in regards to 1.6, they all probably figured it a waste of time with 2.0 right around the bend.
Very excited to see what happens in the coming weeks.

Probably because, in reality, 1.6 is 1.5 with some minor bugfixes and universal search.

Google was saying themselves that they weren't sure at first whether they would release a 1.6 OTA update for the G1... but then their developers got it smaller to G1 size. not that it matters for us cuz we can get it whether they release it or not thanks to these awesome devs
Seems like if Gingerbread is suppose to be official before the end of the year, something should have leaked by now. An early test build, some screenshots, maybe some video? All we have seen are a couple of shopped screenshots that show 3.0 as the build
Someone out there must know or have seen something Throw us a bone here!
It hasn't been leaked because you touch yourself.
Because people don't like breaking NDAs and losing their jobs?
Google will release it when they release it.
+1 to the poster above.
And judging by Froyo experience, I guess Nexus users will see "semi-official" test builds way before the official release, once these builds make it to beta stage.

Well that's what I'm saying. When Google showed Froyo at Google IO, it didn't OTA until almost 2 months after that. I was assuming that we would see a Gingerbread OTA before the end of the year. If timetables are similar that won't happen.
It just seems like we got more leaks and now its dried up lol

I don't think that anybody's even said that the next release will be version 3. It could be 2.3 or 2.5....
The only thing we've actually seen is some chicken little claiming that it would take a modern supercomputer to run it -- and THAT has been refuted.
... and time has PROVEN that EVERY chicken little making claims about the future of android is always wrong 100% of the time.
This year? lol, we won't see 3.0 until next year. IF we're lucky, Q1.

a google campus recruiter was at my university today. he was playing with a nexus one so i told him that i have one also. he said his was different so I asked him why and peeked at his screen and he suddenly pulls down the notification bar and says "oh it has at&t". this seemed like a silly reason so i asked what build he was running and he told me he couldn't say. I asked if it was gingerbread and he said yes. i asked him if he could tell me about new features and he said no.
i got some google chapstick and a google pen though.
I have been hoping leaks would start soon considering Gingerbread is supposed to be unveiled in mid October. I expect to see devices in the latter part of Nov.
Just like when 1.0 was unveiled and 2.0 was unveiled. They were followed by a device about a month after.

crazy ass motherfaka
to be a sign that Android 2.3 is almost there, Facebook for Android and Twitter apps should have been released for Android 2.3, not just an update for Android 2.2, I guess
Considering the twitter app was developed inhouse at google, I'm going to say yup.
The only reason I can see them creating new Facebook and Twitter apps *FOR* 2.3, would be because they had new features that would only work on 2.3.
Since they've already released it for 2.2, that means no new features, so what would be the connection between the apps and 2.3?

Why do you need signs? 2.3 is almost here. Gingerbread statue is unrevealed, new API levels were shown so... it's definitely "almost" here.

Early look at the overall look of the OS.
Since neither Twitter or Facebook really follow the look of the OS, I doubt it.

Twitter was done internally at google in an attempt to show where the OS will head in terms of asthetics post-froyo.
It was done as a proof of concept.

It's a possibility the design cues will be similar.
We've seen the "thin line" and flatter buttons look on voice search already.
Gmail has those same dividers. The flat palette is also there (when you delete an email you get a green dropdown with white text).
The assets recently dug up inside of the latest Gmaps apk shows the squarer look.
Google has been minimizing resource dependency on all fronts. Removing gradients from images will have a great impact on image assets being pushed over networks (this has more to do with web apps than android apps, but I digress). They have a certain "look" that you can pick up from in all of their products, and it's making it's way into android.
What I meant by early look, is that the team putting the twitter app together has alreayd been working with gingerbread, and possibly honeycomb already.
Personally, I think all the nexus 2 talk has pushed gingerbread to a second thought in the nexus forums. As for gingerbread itself... it will get here when it gets here.
OMFG. I just realized the 2 and 3 buttons are next to each other on my laptop. That must mean 2.3 is coming soon!

Facebook and Twitter are for teenagers and twenty-somethings. Like the famous last words of John Wilkes Booth, "useless useless" .
Someone one facebook, credible friend of mine, posted he just got the update to 2.3 on his phone.
I asked him what phone he has, he hasn't responded yet.
Looks like OTA is hitting phones!

Not true. If it was, it would be blasted all over twitter.
Figured id start a thread about it and people can chime in on what they know and what they want to know. Id like for someone to provide a link to what the up coming features are going to be and when its going to be released. I heard that its going to come out on monday the 6th and some of the features might include some more lime green and a market with music that can be purchased and also some sort of supported video chat. Any truth to this would be cool but I can't confirm anything. I know verizon usually comes out with some kind of sheet to tell users what will be included and I haven't found it yet so if anyone has information that'd be nice to share with the people here on xda.

I highly doubt it will be out tomorrow. And even if it is out tomorrow, it will be on the Nexus one. You should know by now all the updates come out to the Nexus phones first. Obviously it might not be too long after that for us to get it but we've gotta wait for Google's star child first.

yeah plus MOTO will want to make some crappy build with "ninja blur" which will take forever since they only care about the droid x so we'll have to wait a while unless you're rooted. Ports of stock 2.3 should probably be out sometime in the few weeks after it is released for el nexus uno
Not sure about sources and such but:
http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1930297/tablet-designer-claims-android-23-release
They announced its release this morning along with the Nexus S
Subscribed
So I'm going to make a guess that getting Gingerbread onto the Droid2 is going to require a new kernel? In and of itself, Gingerbread uses a newer kernel than Froyo, and it seems like there are some significant improvements under the hood that may require kernel support. I suppose this could be verified by comparing the source code between the two releases.
So, barring someone hacking eFuse, I would guess that we aren't going to see Froyo until Motorola decides to release it. Hopefully I'm wrong here...

I really don't think it'll take too long for Gingerbread to come out. We've been running 2.2 for a while now. Other phones don't even have Froyo yet. I know they probably have to make it Blur compatible, but I really don't think it'll take too long to get.

This is Motorola we are talking about. It took them months to release 2.2 for the original DROID and that runs stock Android, they barely had to do any work to get it working.

Other than the SDK, I'm not aware of a running OS on any phones yet. Other than the few people in the world that already have a Nexus S.
The eris, hero, and a few others already have custom roms of gingerbread.

I doubt they'll even bother setting up 2.3 for the Droid 2. I'll just keep my ear to the ground here in hopes of seeing it pop up in a ROM; maybe Matt will display his absolute mod-godhood and port it into Unleashed 4.0!

Problem is that the new update adds support to things not changable withouth unlocking the bootloader so we are kind of screwed unless something has changed. Or Motorola actually does something worth while.

Lol. The OG Droid was updated all the way to Froyo. I'm pretty sure that the Droid2 will be updated.
It would be interesting if the OG Droid eventually gets updated past the Droid2 (by third parties, obviously).
I know is not allowed by ZTE but I'd appreciate if someone with the beta pm me some pics of the update need to see for my self what's in it lol

Those in the beta program had to sign a non-disclosure agreement with ZTE. So close your eyes and imagine Nougat. That's what it looks like.
Can a moderator please close this thread? According to the NDA that somehow got posted on here, people that are a part of the beta program are not even allowed to tell people they are a part of the beta program. Fishing like this just seems to get people wound up over nothing.
