HTC EVO 4G Update to Gingerbread 2.3 Starting June 6th [Official]

Tweet

It is official, starting Monday June 6th Sprint will start the rollout for Android 2.3 Gingerbread for their hot selling HTC EVO 4G we all know and love. The EVO has been one of the biggest selling Android phones aside from the Galaxy S and has been a huge success for Sprint. The update to that sweet Gingerbread was talked about back in April, then leaked a few days later. This will be official, and tasty just as Gingerbread has been.


Here is a little tip, for those that are excited and just can’t wait until June 6th you can apparently get it starting Friday the 3rd. Yes that is tomorrow. According to the Sprint site users can “check for updates” right on the handset on the 3rd and the update will be initiated, otherwise it will be pushed over-the-air starting Monday. Pretty weird way to roll-out the update because I’m sure anyone that hears that will check for updates manually.
Gingerbread brings many changes and improvements as well as UI changes. A Download manager is included as well as some EVO specific Gmail, and battery drain issues have also been resolved. For all the information check out the press release below, or click here.

HTC EVO™ 4G from Sprint will receive the Android™ 2.3, Gingerbread, update through an over-the-air maintenance release beginning on Monday, June 6.
Sprint will send update notifications to users in waves. The notification will let users know the update is available and provide the simple two-step, over-the-air download instructions.
Users will receive a notification that Android 2.3 is available for download.
Once the user has downloaded the update, they will be prompted to install the update. The user will be notified that their device will be disabled during the installation process. The phone will be ready to use once the process completes.
Can’t Wait Until June 6?
For those who just can’t wait to get Android 2.3, there will be an easy user initiated option to download the upgrade starting on Friday, June 3. To access the update – from the home screen/Menu/Settings/System updates/HTC software Update. This will initiate the upgrade process.
The software release upgrades HTC EVO 4G to Android 2.3, Gingerbread. This version of Android improves download management through the Downloads application, offering the user easy access to any file downloaded from the browser, email or another application. It also fixes the devices ability to stream media through certain applications for the device.
Gingerbread restores HTC EVO 4G’s ability to sync multiple Gmail™ accounts, display email attachments in the email client and fixes battery discharge issues.

Final Droid X Gingerbread Build Available for the Impatient

Tweet


Well we knew that the official Gingerbread update is starting to be rolled out to a small number of lucky Droid X owners, but now the update has been made available for those of you who don’t like to wait. Naturally you’ll have to be rooted with a recovery from which you can flash the upgrade, so if you’re not you’ll have wait for Verizon to push the update OTA.


The update is the official Verizon and Motorola approved Android 2.3 upgrade for the original Droid X. The upgrade, as previous leaks have indicated, brings Droid X owners a revamped version of Motoblur, skinned over the 2.3.3 version of Gingerbread (as opposed to 2.3.4 which is currently only on the Nexus phones).
To flash this, as I mentioned before, you’ll need to be rooted and have ClockworkMod’s Droid X Recovery Bootstrap, so if you’ve been waiting for the official update because you weren’t rooted this isn’t for you. If you are rooted, and were just waiting for the official release, head over here and give it a go.

Motorola Droid X Gingerbread is rolling out in a “soak test”

Tweet
Earlier this week we mentioned that the Droid X would be starting the Android Gingerbread 2.3 update Friday the 27th. It looks as if this time the date given has actually came true, sort of. According to sources the OTA update for 2.3.3 Gingerbread is rolling out in what Verizon is calling a “soak test” or a test run to put it plainly. It looks as if a few users are starting to see the updates on their devices.


From what we are seeing the update rolling out is in fact Android 2.3.3 and not 2.3.4. It is the same version as earlier leaks but obviously a higher build number and should run plenty stable, but that is what the “soak test” is for. Hopefully no issues are found that will stop the update and it will go out to everyone.

We are not sure how fast Verizon is planning to roll this update out, past updates usually hit most devices within a week but this may be different if they are only pushing it to a select few first. We will follow the update and report back if anything should arise. Start checking for updates on that Droid X of yours and you might be a lucky one and get it tonight. Oh and don’t worry the leak above as well as this new version has already been rooted so fear not, hit that update button!

New DROID Bionic Running Gingerbread Gets Benchmarked, Dual-core OMAP Replaces Tegra 2?

Tweet

We had to leave that big fat question mark at the end of the post title because there is something that just looks a little fishy about this new Nenamark benchmark that popped up in the last day or so with the name DROID Bionic attached to it.  Before we get into that though, let’s talk about what new goodness we’re seeing above.
First off, the PowerVR SGX 540 GPU stands out.  Why, you ask?  Well, because this GPU matches up to the new TI OMAP 4430 and 4440 dual-core processors that we’re pretty sure Motorola will be showing some favoritism to in the near future (in the DROID3).  This also means that the Tegra 2 by NVIDIA has been given the ax, which shouldn’t come as a huge surprise since most of the rumors surrounding the original delay of this device pointed at the T2 and 4G LTE not playing well together.  Maybe this new OMAP was able to show some LTE love?
The second thing we noticed is the “Android 2.3.3.” mention.  FINALLY, a phone in testing that’s not running Froyo.  The Bionic is slated to come out this summer, so it only makes sense that it would be running Gingerbread, but again, it’s just nice to finally see it.
The third thing is the screen resolution of 960×540.  qHD screen, anyone?  This could be both a positive and a negative which you can read up on over at this DROIDX2 post.
And now to the confusing part.  The Nenamark score of 24.0 flat is extremely odd.  If this benchmark actually happened, there would be a high, low and average – not just a single number.  It’s almost like the benchmark started, someone cancelled it, and Nenamark decided that was good enough to report.  Plus, the DROID3 pumped out a 45.20 on average just a couple of weeks ago, so there is no way the Bionic would put out anything less.
So we’ll take this as the Bionic finally going through testing, but we aren’t going to look at that number and criticize the hell out of it.  It’s either just getting prepared for testing and can’t perform or the benchmark was somehow cut off and then reported on.  Seeing OMAP is pretty interesting though, and something we’ll be paying close attention to over the next couple of months.  No more happy marriage between NVIDIA and Moto?  That sure was quick.

DROIDX Gingerbread Update Soak Test Available (Updated)

Tweet

Our inbox blew up about an hour ago with readers who were able to “pull” the Gingerbread (Android 2.3) update for the DROIDX.  It’s tough to tell if all of these folks were “soak test” members or not, but we’ve known in the past that if the update goes live on Moto’s servers, that almost any can pull it.  So if you are running stock 2.2 and want to upgrade, now would be the time to check Settings>About>System Updates.
Oh, we should point out that our buddy @p3droid mentioned that you are able to SBF back to 2.3.340 afterwards in case this thing never gets rooted.
Update:  P3 is already preparing a .596 update for rooted users running the leaked .595.  Stay tuned, folks!

XPERIA Play and Arc Android 2.3.3 update released with Facebook Inside [Video]

Tweet
Sony Ericsson has begun pushing out its Android 2.3.3 update the the XPERIA Arc and XPERIA Play. The update includes the new Facebook Inside XPERIA functionality which Sony Ericsson debuted on the XPERIA min and mini pro.

That inserts deeper Facebook integration through the various preloaded apps, including the ability to “Like” the track you’re currently listening to in the media player, share updates more quickly, and pull Facebook events down into the phone’s calendar.
There’s also various other bugfixes and the like, along with Google’s own minor improvements in 2.3.3. It’s rolling out progressively across markets – no word on which is first at this stage – so don’t be surprised if the update doesn’t show up on your phone quite yet. Sony Ericsson has also confirmed that the Gingerbread update for the XPERIA X10 will include Facebook Inside XPERIA too.

• Battery performance
• General software stability
• Wi-Fi stability
• HD Video recording performance (Xperia arc)
• Touch responsiveness

Motorola Droid X Gingerbread Update Hinted via Project Invite

Tweet
 It’s good to know that even though the DROID X2 is being sent out now, that the original Droid X wont be abandoned. By no means! A message has been sent out to developers and users of this cool classic Droid at Motorola’s Mobility forums asking owners of the unit to participate in a project of little detail. This project requires you to go through an enrollment survey and sign a non-disclosure paper so that you don’t spill the beans to the world before they do. What could it possible be? Perhaps they’ll update their software to X2 proportions?

Dell Streak 7 has Gingerbread Launcher Buried Under Honeycomb

Tweet

While Ice Cream Sandwich may be the hero to unite the tablet and phone branches of Android that exist right now, it turns out there may have already been a less elegant fix in place. Owners of the Dell Streak 7 have confirmed that if they change certain what the screen’s pixel density is listed as in the build.prop file, they are greeted not by Honeycomb’s familiar holo theme, but a giant Gingerbread UI after a reboot.

Now don’t ask me why people were changing the listed LCD density in their build.prop, but the fact stands its a weird “Easter egg.” It’s unconfirmed why Google included this in Honeycomb, but my personal guess is this is a relic of attempts to make Honeycomb portable to phones. Obviously this was never implemented, but maybe it was left in as a backup in case anyone tried porting Honeycomb to a phone against Google’s wishes.

As you can see in the video above, the UI is actually an unholy combination of Honeycomb, Gingerbread, and FroYo. The unlock screen seems to be Gingerbread, and the system app icons are the familiar green ones from phones running stock 2.3, but the launcher itself, as well as the status bar and notification tray are definitely FroYo, featuring the rounded corners and gray theme of 2.2. Even more confusing is that, at least when powering down, a Honeycomb style menu is presented to choose airplane mode or shut down.
A neat trick, but far from the fix that we all await anxiously for Ice Cream Sandwich to bring. Good to know Google has been working on a solution unifying tablets and phones already though.

Easy hack adds Gingerbread interface to Honeycomb if you have root access

Tweet

There are a bunch of Android fans out there that buy Android devices for their hackabiltiy and open nature. It seems that every time we turn around there is a new hack or mod out there to do something new and different on your Android tablet or smartphone. Many of these hacks and mods need root access to operate. If you have that root access on your Honeycomb tablet and long for a slicker looking user interface this hack might be perfect for you.

If you have root access, the hack is very easy to perform and just as easy to reverse using one simple change. The hack is this. Honeycomb tablets apparently have the Gingerbread OS’ slicker interface underneath hiding there waiting to be unveiled by a higher density LCD that would be found on a smartphone for instance. The trick to unearthing that different interface is by changing the LCD density in a single system file.
When the LCD density is changed from the default number to 170ppi or higher will allow the new interface to be shown after a reboot. Pocketables recommends the Honeycomb user get the LCDDensity for Root app to do the deed. If you find the Gingerbread interface isn’t for you, reverting to the default UI is as easy as changing the LCD Density back to normal you can see the hack in action in the video below, let us know if you use this hack.

Gingerbread Test Build for ThunderBolt Leaked

Tweet
A buggy test build of Android 2.3 Gingerbread appears to have been leaked from our favorite source for all things HTC oddity: 911HTC! They’ve got a big fat build by the name of Mecha GINGERBREAD S Verizon WWE 2.01.605.0_ Radio_0.01.69.0501r_ _NV_8K_1.41_ 9K_1.64_test_190987.zip – all that make sense to you? It doesn’t have to! All you need to know is that Gingerbread is more than likely on its way to Verizon’s HTC ThunderBolt, and by the looks of it, it’s coming soon!

Before we continue I’ve of course got to warn you that ROMs in test stages such as this are often beyond buggy to the point where should you use them you really ought to prepare yourself for something rather broken. Be sure to back up your current build if you plan on working with this one, and be sure to report back to say how it goes! As you know, this is your humble narrator’s poison of choice and has been for some months now, so it’s pretty near and dear to my pocket to see something like this come through.
Will this build help the battery life? That’s the biggest question here, and one you can answer should you be daring enough to try it out. Head over to 911HTC Resources for the download and fire it up! Then head down to the ThunderBolt forum for all your fun and amazing chats. Notice there also a lovely new ROM from Teampokerface. It’s hot!

Update on DROIDX Gingerbread and DROIDX2 Launch Software, Xperia Play Will be First With Android 2.3 on Verizon

Tweet

It’s May 16 and if we were going to see a roll out of Gingerbread to the DROIDX, we probably would have seen some signs from Verizon that it was actually happening.  As you may have guessed, we haven’t seen any of them, so we’ll have to assume that it won’t be here today or maybe even this week for that matter.  There are a couple of rumors floating around behind the scenes that suggest it may not be out until after the DROIDX2 hits on May 26.  And why would they do that?
Well, because the DX2 is also looking more and more like it won’t launch with Android 2.3, but 2.2 instead.  All of those leaked pictures we’ve seen from the user guide and launch kit with blue Blur are not Gingerbread according to our sources.  We were worried that they might slap the new Blur over 2.2 just like we saw on the Bionic at CES and those fears appear to have come true.  We’ve been told that the device guide for employees also clearly says “Froyo” and that dev builds of the phone are still running 2.2.  Just think, is there any way they would allow the original DX to be running newer software than its replacement?  They wouldn’t let it happen.
And to add to this rumor, we’ve also been told that when the Xperia Play launches on the 26 alongside the DX2, it will be dubbed the “first Verizon phone running Gingerbread.”
Need a recap? DROIDX2 launching May 26 with new blue Blur, but only running 2.2.  Xperia Play launching May 26 with stock Gingerbread.  Original DROIDX won’t receive Android 2.3 until the DX2 has it.
Hopefully that didn’t ruin too many Mondays, but we wanted to keep you in the loop on what we’re hearing.  If things change, we’ll be sure to let you know.

Droid X Gingerbread update approved

Tweet
Last week, we reported a rumor that a Droid X Gingerbread update could be coming May 13th after being submitted to Verizon several times for approval. The update had originally been slated for an April release, but that slipped since Verizon wanted a few changes before signing off. The word now is that Gingerbread for the Droid X has been approved and will be coming out as an OTA update as early as Friday, May 13th. So while still a rumor, it takes the next giant step out of the shadows.

A Droid X running Gingerbread isn’t really news. Rooted Droid X owners have been doing it for weeks. But not every Droid X owner can enjoy it without some effort. For those who can’t root and flash their Android handset in their sleep, the official Verizon update will be most welcome.
The update will include user interface tweaks, one touch copy and past, better battery life and Voice Over IP. There will also be new media format support and multiple camera access. So, come Friday, you may want to keep an eye out for the update. Backup your data first, and go to Menu, Settings, About Phone, System Update and then select Download. Make sure your battery is fully charged as well since the update will take at least a half hour or more to complete.

NOOKColor humming on Gingerbread thanks to CyanogenMod7

Tweet
The flexibility of the Barnes and Noble NOOKColor shows itself again as the Android eReader has been rooted to become a full-on Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread) tablet. The mod, based on CyanogenMod7, has completely wiped out the BN ebook reader overlay and has also overclocked the NOOKColor’s 800 Mhz processor in order to get it run smoothly. The only real issue appears to be a hardware limitation, since Gingerbread requires multiple hardware buttons and the NOOKColor only has a single button plus volume controls. But other than that, the NOOKColor is humming along rather nicely at 1.1 Ghz speed.

The video describes how users must wipe the data by flashing ClockWorkMod Recovery and it’s ROM Manager, then installing the CM7 Zip file. Once up and running, you flash the Overclocking kernel to get the processor up to 1.1 Ghz and you’re done. Native video playback isn’t supported natively, but videos can be watched with an app called RockPlayer Lite. And Google Maps has to use WiFi as the NOOKColor isn’t GPS capable. But it works if you need to get directions on getting from here to there.
Instructions for rooting the NOOKColor for Gingerbread can be found over at the XDA Forums link for CM7. There’s a lot to go through, as the thread has 125 pages, but it’s worth reading so you can stand on the shoulders of those who came before. Also, the rooting was based on a premature “nightly build” of CM7. A much more stable version is now out for Gingerbread and most of the issues have been addressed. Once done, if having eBook reading capability is still important, the Nook software is available as a free download at the Amazon Market.

Sprint, Best Buy Now Selling Samsung Nexus S 4G – WiMAX Customers, Get Ready To Experience Stock Gingerbread

Tweet

Sprint customers hungry for vanilla Gingerbread can stop holding their breaths now – the Nexus S 4G just went on sale. Sprint will charge you $199.99 for the Samsung-made device, but if you’re looking for the best bargain in town, you’ll want to visit Best Buy – they’re selling it for just $149.99 with a new two-year contract. BB’s upgrade price is still $199.99, but at least free shipping is offered by both retailers (ETA: 5/11-5/14 at Best Buy; 2-5 business days at Sprint).
As a reminder, this stock Android machine comes loaded with:

• 4-inch Super AMOLED Contour display with a WVGA (800×480) resolution
• WiMAX connectivity
• 1GHz Hummingbird processor
• 512MB of RAM
• 16GB of internal memory

All in all, the handset isn’t exactly a spring chicken in terms of specs, but the software is what really matters – and just like T-Mobile’s version of the phone, the NS 4G delivers on that front with stock Android 2.3 and Google Voice integration. And with Google I/O coming up in just a few days, who wouldn’t want to own a device renowned for getting software updates first?

T-Mobile G2x Gingerbread Leak [Apparently the Real Deal]

Tweet

What we’ve got here, courtest of Paul from MoDaCo is what appears to be the Gingerbread build that will eventually be the one send out to G2x users across the USA. This build is release-key signed, which generally means that it’s the real deal, and the file you’re about to download is both pre-rooted and is a repacked ROM so you’ll be able to flash it easily – just so long as your device is rooted, of course. We’ve got full instructions on how to do this here plus a quick look at the insides.

The video you’re about to see goes through a few tiny areas that are indicative of Gingerbread-ness and will inevitably be showing up in Android 2.3 for your G2x, but take it with a grain of salt. Most everything can be faked, and who the heck knows for sure? That said, it appears to yours truly to be legit, and aside from the external SD card not mounting properly (still working on it) and benchmarks not turning up so sweet thus far. It does smell like Gingerbread, at least!



There’s a couple of points that I’d like to pass on to you from Paul about the build, the first of which being that this release does NOT include an updated baseband – Paul notes that he’ll provide it too once he’s got it (secret mafia business!) Next, that this release is repacked the ROM to update zip format for your ease in flashing and it’s pre-rooted, other than that, it’s 100% the way he found it. The following process will void your warrantee with T-Mobile and you’ll be very very sad if you mess it up because you’ll have to buy a new phone. That said, have fun!
This guide starts at an out-of-the-box state with the G2x, so if you’re already rooted and have ROM Manager set up, skip to Part 2.
PART 1
1. Follow Directions A/L for rooting on Apple or Linux computers, Directions W for Windows machines.
2. Once you are rooted, download ROM Manager.
3. If you are correctly rooted, you should be able to open ROM Manager with no problems, if you did not attain root correctly, ROM Manager will pop up a window that tells you so.
4. Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. This is the top button in ROM Manager and should only take a minute or two if you’re on a fast data connection.
Part 2
5. Upon successful flashing of ClockworkMod Recovery, head to this MoDaCo thread and grab the download at the end of the first post called “DOWNLOAD (ROMraid Load Balancing) – MD5: 5992d38b6427c06a2ce0bfeb259d201c”
6. Move this file to your SD card. The easiest way to do this is to download Android SDK, install all the most recent updates via the “Android” tool in the “tools” folder, and open the “DDMS” tool. Once you’ve got DDMS open, go to Settings – Applications – Development – and activate USB debugging, followed by plugging in your device to your computer via USB. Your device should show up in your DDMS window – highlight it by clicking and go to Device – File Explorer. From there you should be able to locate your SD card and place the .zip file you downloaded in step 5 inside.
7. Unplug your device from USB.
8. Open ROM Manager.
9. Supposing you’ve already flashed the most recent version of ClockworkMod Recovery, you can now locate the zip file with the button “Install ROM from SD card.”
10. Be sure to have “Backup Existing ROM” clicked, then click the other two options for good measure.
11. Press OK.
12. Supposing you did everything correctly, your device will be rebooting, backing up your current setup, and loading the new Gingerbread ROM.
13. You’re set!
Confused at all? Ask a question below and I’ll do my best to answer it!
