Nope! I was stock .340, unrooted, and loaded this up the minute p3 threw it online. Not one problem was had, nor has there been yet. It's just like a normal update, you won't lose anything.

No you should not have to wipe data

I think it sucks. The biggest thing in Gingerbread is sip calling which has been taken out. All they did was add pretty animations. HUGE disappointment

OK, so I just installed it and it worked like a charm! It runs beautifully and it is quite a bit more responsive in my opinion. I'm going to begin testing everything I can. Running the hell out of it lol.
EDIT: OK, so far I have only one complaint. The hard buttons at the bottom of the phone are now insanely bright. It isn't a serious problem, but it is definitely a significant difference that I would like to see options for.

The buttons have been overly bright on all of the Gingerbread leaks, and unfortunately they still don't work quite right, even on the OTA version. They turn off and never come back on. That's my only complaint about Gingerbread. Other than that, it's fast, smooth, and looks great. I looked at an Xperia Play today with more or less stock Gingerbread, and I have to say, it was kind of ugly compared to Gingerblur, in my opinion.

Gingerbread
So far it hasn't been too bad, but I am waiting on a ROM based off of .596.

Anyone have a link to this that is not downloading at like 10KBps or have the direct google server address? If I can ever get this stupid thing to finish downloading I am thinking of mirroring it on something that doesn't the stupid ad-bloated crap. Just going to throw it up on a directory on my web server.

OK finally got it downloaded will install it and see how it runs a bit before uploading the image.

I updated my droid x to the stock version of gingerbread last night. With the exception of a few totally unrelated incidents, it seems to be working great. Gingerbread seems to be snappy and the new ui tweaks are mostly welcome. I have not noticed a big difference between 595 & 596. Thanks to black hat team for their hard work.

They got rid of the 'Paste from Clipboard' option ...I used tthat a lot in Froyo. Does anyone know.a way to get that available?

Did any of you get the 2.2 froyo market all of a sudden?

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.

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?

New motoblur leak 3.0.0! Link!

I cannot post in the development section yet, but there is a new leak out for the new motoblur 3.0.0 software that you can flash over any stock rom. Check out my youtube video for details.
URL to my info video[no spaces]: w w w .youtube.com/watch?v=NPvTic9z-ng
Enjoy!
Eh, I'll personally pass. The 2.-whatever Blur royally sucks. I really doubt 3.0 will be a vast improvement. However, none the less, it's pretty niffy to be able to update for those that like blur.

Yeah there isn't much different at all except for the launcher. The blur apps are just more stable, and the system seems to be smoother with the blur apps up.
Would the upgrade be worth it for stock users who sometimes run into problems with the phone refusing to wake up when the power button is pressed?
I would say so, unless it is a hardware issue. It definitely won't hurt to try.
Hasn't this leaked update been out for months?

On GB 588...up to 59x worth it?

After much gnashing of teeth and unbelievably patient assistance I upgraded to a stock rooted GB.
I love it. I admit it...I was wrong:GB is THAT MUCH better than froyo.
So...
Is there any reason to bare the slings and arrows of outrageous sbf-ing to pop up to 595 or 6 or 1?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA Premium App
I was on .588 for a few minutes today from .340 and after upgrading to .595 it seemed a bit snappier. During my time on .588 the sync icon would not go away on my taskbar and the lockscreen took a few seconds to unlock. I'd say the upgrade to .595 is worth it just because you're set to get the OTA from it.

You shouldn't need to sbf at all to go from .588 to .595.
So I'm hearing that of the various 59x versions its 59FIVE that I wanna move to for compatibility with an OTA upgrade ? And there's a flash method via droid2 bootloader?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA Premium App
No... You will need to be stock froyo in order to receive ota according to p3droid
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I would stay with .588. I have heard it is a little harder than sbfing back to froyo. Also the .596 ota is coming out soon and it looks like the bootloader is changing. Once you make the switch to it there will be no way back to froyo. And currently there is no root for .596. I know I can easily sbf back to froyo from .588 so when a rooted version of the ota is released then I will make the next switch. If you are stable and happy stay where you are. If there are a few bugs that are bothering you. You might think about going to .595. Just read about getting back to froyo if you choose that route.

I was on. 595 for around ten minutes before I bootlooped my phone and the linux sbf worked like a charm.
Sent from my Xoom the way it should be, rooted and with SD card.
Would be nice if the new bootloader would be unencrypted...but that'll only happen in my dreams.

I am staying with the apex beta on 591 because it is aosp based and there is no bloatware to slow down my phone. I will update when the roms update.
i see no reason to switch as you cannot switch back to froyo.... not that i have any intention of going back I just have no desire to switch to the new version until a deodexed + rooted version slides out... i think its silly to even consider atm but thats just my opinion.
if you want OTA fine, but this is XDA... i thought we were all here because we DIDNT want the easy way.
I am more-or-less stable and happy on 588. So I'll just sit tight . But when the OTA upgrade becomes available from Moto Ill have to be back on Froyo ? Or is the jury still out on this?
Thx for getting back

The problem as I understand it is that Verizon wants that bloatware on there, it's a revenue stream for them. Especially the Verizon app store - pops up on my screen every time I plug my phone into my computer.
I have read that in the new Gingerbread release, it will be the first icon in the tray because the icons will no longer be in alphabetical order. That will make finding the correct icons so much easier in the menu.
I can't wait.
So Buttes says 595 will ota to 596, but owenbeales reports thar p3droid says unrooted froyo s necessary to OTA .... Anybody got clarification ?
Also...any opinions on ota596 with bloatware performance compared to the previously released 59x rooted stocks?

OMG stock 2.2 sucks! Help!

Was on CM7 thinking that the wifi was terrible and I needed a good signal so I thought I'd go back to the 2.2 roms. So far all Ive been able to do is update the phone to 2.2 stock and I HATE IT!
Quick! what is the fastest method to gain root and get a ROM on there!?
Thanks in advance!
Odin to jfd and root. Then install cwm or if you have the old update.zip reinstall that a couple of times. Oh yeah don't forget to put a rom on as wwell.

wait wait wait. I feel like such a noob. I odin'd to jfd (stock 2.1 right) rooted and installed clockwork recovery. Tried to flash trigger and it didn't work, which made me think, "crap, do I need to be on 2.2?' dammit! I am confused... Are you saying that I should have been able to flash trigger 3.2 from stock, rooted, 2.1? It didn't work for some reason...oh jeez...I bet it was a bad dl...
Yeah. Basically. You might need to wait a little for voodoo to kick in, but I've flashed trigger 3.2 multiple times on 2.1 stock.rooted.

[Q] Does EI22 have video chat through Gtalk?

I've got official GB running on my phone, but I'm not sure if video chat is part of the this version of Gtalk. We're running 2.3.5 so I thought that it would have it since that was added in 2.3.4. Thanks in advance for any insight that you guys can offer.

Wow... that is just inexcusable considering how late the Epic got Gingerbread...especially being one of the 1st phones that had a FFC to begin with....
Just add the zip shinnydude posted awhile back. Also, ACS ICS EI22 has it baked in the rom.
Weird if the rom is 2.3.5 than it should work because you need 2.3.4 or higher I believe.
