Well I suspect there are thousands of people frantically updating the SDK to checkout the emulator (guilty ), so there might be stuff to report soon.

Sweeeeeeeeet!

Click the platform highlights link to see the new features

New features look awesome! Can't wait!
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Gingerbread is the fastest version of Android yet, and it delivers a number of improvements, such as user interface refinements, NFC support, a new keyboard and text selection tool, Internet (VoIP/SIP) calling, improved copy/paste functionality and gyroscope sensor support.
New Keyboard!!!!! Wonder if Blindtype is incorporated???

Some decent shots of the Nexus S in that video

If the Nexus S is unlocked, will an AT&T user be able to use it? (remembering the different breeds of the Nexus One for AT&T/Rogers)

Wasn't it a month or two after Froyo ASOP was released that it made it to the N1?
I hope it doesn't take that long again... but I'm using CyanogenMod 6.1 and just upgraded it last night. Gingerbread would have to have some really new, killer features to get me to move away from CyanogenMod 6.1.

Gingerbread is out for Nexus...So when can G2 wxpect it"

Gingerbread was released for Nexus One today...anyone know how long till it hits G2 owners? Being a vanilla phone shouldnt we be next?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Since G2 is an official T-Mo phone, all depends on T-Mo's mood I guess...
It'll be out as a custom ROM sooner than as an official update, I would expect.
Def give it a couple of days let the devs go through the sdk.. Its gonna be a little work moving it over to the g2 because of the physical keyboard and also all the new additions like voip, gyroscope, nfc and all that they gotta make it all work so give it a couple days.. Maybe even something quick tonight..

Yeah. Although honestly, I'm kinda loving the Desire Z ROM - I don't know if I can go back to the stock camera app, frankly. From the SDK screenshots on the Google blog, it doesn't look like there's any real changes there, either.
Actually, we could be waiting a while. According to cyanogen as well as a lott of other devs, the g2 isn't as vanilla as first thought. There's a lot of HTC crap over it and someof the stuff is designed to look like stock while being something else entirely. The point is, it could take a while for us to get it......at least officially....

The SDK isn't the source code though, just the stuff to help you develop Android apps.
Anyone know when the source code usually gets released ? Will it be the day the Nexus S ships ? Or before/after ?
They said it would be coming soon but they said the same for the announcement of 2.3 and that wait felt like forever.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
As a general rule newer versions of android are merged into aosp within a few weeks to a month after the sdk. At least that's what we've historically seen.
It is possible and fairly easy to create a port from the sdk however it tends to be buggy at best.
Once we get a link from an ota from the nexus one we should be able to put together a proper port.
If you're waiting for Cyanogenmod you'll be waiting til 2.3 hita aosp as steve and company build directly from the source.

Well yeah lets see since the nexus one is pretty similar visually to the g2 instead of the hardware keyboard we have we should def be able to switch around the update nd use it for us =] cant wait!
I'm with @THE ORANGE BANDIT...im loving sense...I also don't know if I would go back to it...but than again I could just switch back and fourth between gingerbread and sense

T-Mobile reps told me when I bought the G2 that it was going to be getting the OTAs first, along with the MT4G. So you can possibly expect enomther to release it first.

Source? Source for what? Whether the G2 is stock android? That isn't speculation, at this point its a fact that it isn't "clean" android. If you want to be sure of that, just read cyanogens posts in his thread or the nightly discussions. Gingerbread will need to be ported to this phone just like with any phone running a custom ui albeit faster though because HTC didn't go as far as a whole custom ui. Regardless, I would be willing to bet that gingerbread source is released and ported to cyanogenmod before the G2 gets an OTA.

Even if the stock G2 rom isn't quite as pure as it looks, should that even matter? Isn't the point of something like CM to get AOSP to run on the phone? I was under the impression that CM included very few hacks that are device specific.

No, it doesn't matter if your phone is rooted and running a custom rom. I was reffering to the delay for an official gingerbread OTA. That's why I said it would be ported to CM before its officially ported to the G2.

Gingerbread is not out for the Nexus One yet. Also once the source for it is released then the rom makers can start working on it

Leaked 2.3 ROM FOR i9000 GALAXY S

http://www.samfirmware.com/apps/blog/entries/show/6282349-android-2-3-2-leaks-for-galaxy-s-
This is a just leaked rom for the galaxy s. hopefully the devs can use it for the vibrant.
well even if not at least we know now that Samsung wasn't lying about March for the euro/Asian markets.
Nice, hopefully we will be able to use this to our advantage?
Also, couldn't we flash this since we now have the kernel that allow us to flash i900 ROMS? If we could just flash those files, then flash the kernel through Odin somehow it might work. Idk though, I'm no dev.

GINGERBREAD leaked
damb, this is so great, im thinking maybe tonight we might have a port for the vibrant, and i wonder if eugene and krylon know about this considering, it just today got leaked, a few hours ago.............. anyways, everyone post on this, lets get the hype going, we want this baby ported ASAP.. always thanks so much eugene and krylon, my brothers of galaxy android
So far from what i've read over there...
Looks like quadrant scores are not improved over 2.2 which is what i'm sure most people are hoping for. It also appears that the screen off animation is not present in the rom. It's also using Touchwiz 3.0 and not 4. Market is broken, and gingerbread keyboard also not included. Looks like an early beta build from what i've read.
**edit**
market is working, they have root access, and they are in the process of deodexing.
So far from what i've read over there...
damn double post. please delete
Sweet, hope we can get some cooked roms soon
The bad thing about it, it uses touchwiz 3.0, not stock.

The kernel that allows us to flash i9000 ROMs is only 2.2 and 2.2.1 compatible. I'm pretty sure someone would have to build a new kernel to let us flash that or port the ROM over.
The crowds are getting restless over there. They're in an uproar about "this is missing" and "that is missing". One of the complaints is about the gingerbread wallpaper being missing. But these guys forget that our 2.1 devices didn't come with stock 2.1 walls. They instead came with whatever wallpapers samsung gave us. Overall it's starting to sound more complete than the first froyo leaks that we used to have which is reassuring. Some of the guys say that the leak is stable and everything is working on their devices. One of the nice improvements they're reporting is functioning hardware acceleration.
No TV-off?! NOooOoO!

Funny to see their behavior over it when we are just sinking our teeth into 2.2.1. Maybe its a good thing though.. I myself am so pleased with the performance boost of 2.2.1 that I'm in no rush to flash again but of course I'm in the minority on that.

Na I'm with you on that, running Bionix 1.3 and it really is just as fast as CM7 was for. Really the only thing that gingerbread had over this ROM is that the applications list loaded faster. Plus on this I have themes

2.3.3 update first impressions

The first thing I noticed was the smooth app switching transitions. Then I noticed that deleting large text threads works smoothly for the first time. Then I noticed that the 3g radio wakes up faster. Then I tried 4g where I never ever have gotten a signal before and I get 1 bar. The sense clock has flipping tiles. The update caused me to have to clear the voicemail icon in settings>phone. The browser is snappier and pinch/zoom is smoother. The browser address bar now clears the entire address including the http:// prefix when selected with a single tap.

Music player EQ

Green bits and icons
Camera update
Various effects--App draw for starters
Wider APP2SD use---Motorola \Samsung has it working
These are what I have found so far that is Android standards and are NOT in this update. Plus there is the addition of TeleNav GPS as bloatware that will not get used.
All the above and no Sense update so what was the point in all this and also all the months of waiting for nothing.

The point was to make people feel good about having "gingerbread"
It also breaks the Netflix app.
First impression?
Its missing Sense 2.0... WTF? I might as well had stayed with 2.33 beta, my brightness was usually set that way anyway.
*Sigh* oh well, happy anniversary I guess. 35 days to go of it untill I get 3.0.
horrible. the only thing I wanted fixed (audio quality of the video) didnt get touched. or if they did its way worse than the leaked roms of months ago.

I am suprised that they did not add a sence update to this I had expected a sence update and a camera update. I wonder if htc has mad a statment on wht they did not upgrade sence.

That's the point. N1/NS/NS4G run ASOP 2.3. HTC Sense 2.3 is just AOSP with Sense and HTC's modifications. If Netflix works on AOSP, and all Android ROMs are based on AOSP (which they are), then Netflix isn't at fault. HTC is.

This is my point exactly.
So far I am not impressed with it. It may be smoother and all but it's the same boring sense. No inclusions of all the cool features of GB like the power widgets from pulling down the status bar. No theme chooser. No over scroll effect. No Screen off animations. **** is pretty gay to be honest. They could have at least made it a little more exciting.
let me answer with a question....could it be any gayyyyyer? lol

Ice Cream Sandwich

Sooooooo conference is over... I can just image what can be done through development on phones now. Now that the SDK is available, hopfully we will see some ICS this month? Im excited!
What are your favorite features? (If you watched the conference)
Without source code we're basically SOL for a daily driver, but SDK ROMs are cool to check out
Sent from my Droid Incredible Running CM7
The face unlock seems cool but what is your in a dark place like a bar. I hope they have an alternate way to unlocking it in that situation.
The new camera app looks sweet and I love how fast it can snap pictures on the Galaxy Nexus.
Taking out physical buttons was brilliant. Not only does it make the screen bigger but this way you can have what ever buttons you like (fully customizable). Unlike now as I never use the search button on my Dinc.
i Love the idea of the facial recognition, im sure rooted devices could eventually impliment thaf into unlocking apps too.
and when they had the mess up, it looked like it went to the pattern unlock, so i guess thats a back up.
the buttons was also great, much more room for larger screens, but the lack of physical buttons also worries me a bit.
hopefully some nice development will come out of this, so far i think this is the best android version with the most features and ui changes

I like the new font.
it may not seem practical with our phones, but you could always use the other camera, turn your phone facing you, and hope it recognized you.
the bricked layout is nice, its not as simple as windows phones, but its a great balance between simplicity and advanced customizability.
also i believe some apks in ics will be ported for other android versions too.

I felt what was missing was a team to implement ideas that have never been imagined by the average person, or have been thought of as to be "too difficult" to implement.
I feel this rom, and the team behind it, is the answer to this problem, which should open doors up in other teams, including cyanogenmod

It WOULD be a feat to crack the iPhone's bootloader past the iPhone 3G and get Android booting on there, wouldn't it..?
So, the OmniROM will not just be another copy of another custom ROM? Now that it's being mentioned, I do feel like a lot of them just have the same features.Maybe that's why I'm not fully satisfied when I habitually flash new ROMS.

I work with someone who builds for the iPhone. I might get them to add omni support for it.
Omni is based on aosp (the stock source from google). From their patches are added to support an array of devices. Then new features are added. Seeing as it's a fairly new project (only been around 2 months), there aren't a lot of new features, however there are a few ones to note
They are adding true multi window support
The quick settings tiles are flipable
There see, so to be a new app called "OmniGears". I'm unsure about what exactly this will do, but it seems to contain rom specific settings
I hope this is enough to convince you this won't be a "copy of another rom"

There see, so to be a new app called "OmniGears". I'm unsure about what exactly this will do, but it seems to contain rom specific settings
I hope this is enough to convince you this won't be a "copy of another rom"

Multi-window sounds awesome. It's one of two features, the other being Watch-on, that I found useful/interesting from TouchWiz. Now, all I need is a download link... I don't even care about bugs.
Are you working on this ROM?

No download links yet. Also multi window is still a work in progress (gerrit.omnirom.org)

Still, this sounds like a HUGE step forward for Android.
I had the honor to build the boot animation for this .:highfive:

I feel it should be kept hidden, and be released with the first builds. However it would be up to the core team

I know, its gonna look awesome on my n4! I only hope its just not the great features, but also has a variety of flashable tweaks/mods/themes so we can really say this rom is one of a kind!
