Gingerbread thread. ONLY GINGERBREAD THREAD FOR NOW!

The difference is very minor I'm running alpha CM7 which is based on 2.3. In my view gingerbread was just another selling point for the nexus s apon its release. The only feature I like and use is the text selector. It's not worth rooting for 2.3, its only worth rooting for custom roms.

What do you mean rooting is not worth it? Rooting is free. If something is free it can't be not worth it.

Rooting takes time and effort, voids your warranty (depending on how you do it), can cause instability (based on incorrect configurations), and allows potentially-malicious applications to access portions of the system that would otherwise be off-limits. Even though rooting doesn't cost any money, I could see these issues as being enough for someone to decide it's just not worth the effort and risk.

Back on topic, I was very pleased with several of the Gingerbread ROMs that I tried out so far, and am still looking forward to the official release, whenever that does happen.

I've been using the MicroMod777 Gingerbread ROM for a couple of weeks now, works great. I very rarely use video recording feature of my phone and this is only major bug at the moment, it works but with low FPS.

I'm hoping Google will release GB for N1 at Mobile World Congress (14-17 Feb)

I'd like to think it's not that far off!

Pay Google extra for non-subsidised Nexus phone, wait two months for update.

Pay xda nothing, wait two days after SDK for hundred different custom ROMs.

 

[davados]

How true xda support is much more fluid and constant. A flashser dream at the moment rom to rom.

I , too, am running CM7 on my N1. For those you want 2.3 and are rooted, here are the steps (I'm not responsible for you messing your device up or you didn't backup before wipe):

1) Go to http://phones.crackflashers.com/passion
2) Download gingerbread-gapps-12302010.zip, d6096cac5e9f.signed-hboot-0.35.0017.zip, B#45-passion-cm7src-grid-eng.zip (Gaaps, hboot, cm7 build)
3) Move the three to /mnt/sdcard
4) Reboot into recovery, wipe delvik cache, cache, data (if you don't know how, stop here and disregard this post)
5) Install from zip - d6096cac5e9f.signed-hboot-0.35.0017.zip
6) Reboot into recovery and install the other two from zip (build and gapps)
7) Reboot, enjoy

It doesn't work that way. You pay your carrier more for a subsidized phone.

Pretty sure he's talking about the N1.
