Just got an official email for 2.3 gingerbread. Should I wait.
You waited this long. I plan on getting it OTA.
I waited for the Froyo update, and I have to say it was all lack luster since I was in the last day of the roll out. I look back and think I should have just flashed the update.zip when it was published on here.
Well, you can have the official release weighted down with all of the extra nonsense. Or let the devs rip it apart and build it up faster and lighter with OC/UV features..

Is the G2 worth rooting with the release of 2.3 around the corner??? Should I root and wait for a stable room or wait for 2.3 then decide on rooting??? I am also running a rooted Nexus One so I am not new to the rooting world...
Honestly it is worth it even if 2.3 is around the corner. I said to myself I wasn't going to root it but I missed being able to show off certain aspects of my phone (came from a G1.)But RUMOR has it that Cyanogen is going to work on CM7 (2.3) AOSP based rom. Who knows when an official release will be but just know for now you can play around with SENSE UI and Vanilla soon MIUI.
Might as well. Cm 6.1 is stable, and by having an already rooted phone you'll have less work to do once gingerbread comes around and there's no risk of accidentally accepting a future ota that locks it down further.

Honestly... Do you actually think anyone in the DEV-section of this DEV-forum will tell you to NOT ROOT?
Go ahead and have yourself some fun!!

Rumor or not, I would be willing to bet that Cyanogen releases a ROM based off of 2.3 sooner than an OTA update is available.
And the current CM 6.1 is a GREAT ROM in itself.
In my opinion you're doing yourself a disservice by NOT rooting.
Since I haven't seen the defy community post up the topic I thought I would get the ball rolling. So if you haven't heard flash 10.2 was leaked and if you love updates like me get it here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DLOVW630
Sorry for those on 2.1 this update is for froyo users.
Leave feedback on how this update performs on your device!
Installed on 145-2 Stock FROYO. Performance Ok, tried some pocketnow videos and no issues.
Nice! I hope we get the official soon...
Word is this update is only like a week premature. But I wouldnt get too excited...i dont really notice any major gain in performance in this update.
does motorola defy support full flash player on 2.2?
I've installed it and like it. Thanks.
I don't know why but performance is the same or a bit worser (no OC), but it's very stable, 2 days of using and it haven't crashed yet.
If im not mistakened, i thought htc was going to give us sense 2.1 along with our gb
why would sprint update the evo to gingerbread before they release the nexus s? it wouldn't make much business sense, so i'd expect our update will come after at least the first wave of sales for the nexus.
From the leak, I honestly doubt that the EVO GB update will include Sense 2.1. I know that the GB update probably won't be released until after the E3D comes out, so I could be wrong.

Yea I agree... but from my point of view the Sense roms beat the hell of the AOSP roms... espacially the sense 2.1.
Hi,
gsmarena.com expects an official Gingerbread OTA Update for the Z within the next few days. The rollout of 2.3.3 for DHD and Incredible has already started.
Since i am a big fan of Sense, i´d like to hear your opinion on how long it may until we see a nice Virtous version for our beloved Z´s?
Cheers,
Chris
As soon as a stable release is released and the developer deems it suitable for a virtuous release. So probably not any time soon.
ICS source came out (according to the CM website blog post about the CM9 RC1 release) 255 days prior to CM9 RC1.
That is a significantly long time to wait for an RC release from the CM team.
I understand the "why"...
ICS was a significant change from GB, that required a lot of work on the CM team's part to get the features/changes implemented that we expect in a CM release.
But what about JB? It isn't a major update like V2.x.x to 4.x.x that the GB to ICS jump was. This makes me think that when source is released, we should see some beta releases (maybe alpha) fairly quickly.
I would guess we have at least a few months to go before JB releases and source drops for it. (if any rough time frame has been officially released, I missed it) So that means the CM team has a little while to work out the last bit of tweaking needed for CM9, and then they will naturally want to shift focus to JB/CM10.
So... thoughts? Think we will see a faster turn around for CM10 than we did CM9?
Google announced at the jelly bean announcement that the ota for the nexus phones and source would be released mid July. So I'm sure as soon as that happens things will pick up pretty quick seeing as they now have a better handle on how the newer stuff works.

Sources for JB should be released Mid-July, so no need to wait months to get them. I don't think it will take a long time for people who had CM9 on their phone to get CM10. There is way less work to do to get from ICS -> JB than to get GB -> ICS (Specially because everything changed in Honeycomb and ICS had these change implemented). We should see CM10 beta soon when the sources are out. Codeworkx will do some magic for us .

Thats what I was thinking... CM10 would be quicker.
(never seen the release announcement, so I guessed on time frame from past announcements)

4.1 source has been / is being pushed to AOSP.

During Cyanogens "keynote" before I/O he mentioned that the push from CM9 to CM10 was going to be MUCH quicker than the push from GB/ICS because not much has changed and they can still merge the ICS changes in to a new JB tree....TODAY! I'd expect to see CM10 nightlies in 2 weeks.
Anyone else hoping it gets called CMX instead of CM10?

The team is already referring to it as CM 10 in their posts.
And just like that we have source...
CMX would be cool.
I was just stirring up a little discussion... and a few hours later... source.
I also agree, it would be way cooler as CMX
