Gingerbread on rooted phone

Ok dumb question but how would you go about upgrading to gingerbread on a rooted phone?! I can't seem to find the answer anywhere & I'm scared when the time comes I won't know how.

I assume you haven't rooted?
You'd have to flash (install) a ROM that's based off of Gingerbread. Right now, there are only two or three of those

I have rooted & flashed myns warm. that's what I'm worried about..or my question I guess. How would I get gingerbread on my rooted phone.

Like would I update through Sprint or is it something I have to do manually?

Manually or wait until they push it out officially.
Using my HTC Evo phone which I'm using Xda app to post

At the moment you would have to do it manually. As far a I am aware the few roms that are available are not yet completely stable, and not all the features are working. Cyanogen is working on CM7/gingerbread, but has not released a build. Sounds like they're getting close though, as he tweeted he's using it as his daily driver.

there are 3 Gingerbread ROMs in the Android Development forum thus far. They're all in Alpha or early Beta forms currently, and for most people are not stable or feature-full enough to be daily users.
If you're new to rooting I'd shy away from flashing experimental Alpha builds unless you're ready for some troubleshooting. It might be in your best interest to wait until they are more general public ready.
If you are interested, here are the links to the 3 I'm aware of:
Comes tweaked so far. Not really stock:

Pretty much stock:

I've personally used the 2nd and 3rd. Both worked for me but not without some issues for sure.
Oh and no matter what, get very familiar with recovery and NAND BACKUPS (nandroid). Especially when trying these alpha roms, get used to backing up your working roms and restoring them.

Everyone is so helpful but I'm not trying to do anything with my phone until it's officialy released. I just don't know how being rooted effects updating. I don't know if I'm wording this correctly...lol sorry

what my friend is trying to tell you sinse you are rooted you have to wait untill a rom w/ gingerbread on it which he provided some for you. and if you apply it manually you may be un-rooted then until unrevoke or others can break it .

Hi all
anyone know of a fully woking gingerbread rom at this point?

CM7 is the closest. Was using as a daily driver until yesterday to run Z3. Everything but 4g, which no GB rom has.
Check out the cyanogen forums for the latest nightly builds, and the CM7 thread in the general section for any Q's or info.

Here's to hoping for aosp soon!

Just left my miui'd evo 4g, and god, do I miss it already. I love this phone and I can't wait for rom development to explode! But for now we play the waiting game.

That's great to hear Deano. I've heard in some places this phone has been hard to come by, so like you said...matter of time.

just a matter of time until the phone is readily available to all. there should be a donation thread to get a good dev a phone.

Anyone know if CM is working on an E4GT port?

I know Bubby was talking to someone in the Marketplace about getting one. They don't seem willing to make a deal with what he is offering though...which is totally understandable, I'm just stating this due to its seeming relevance.

Only problem with asop you will probably lose your samsung camera video codecs and other usefully programs/tools that Samsung have tied into the their framework. But atleast you can always revert back.

Once CM hits, MIUI will be able to start their port. MIUI is based off CyanogenMod.

cannnnnnnt wait for CM on this beast, even though stock is pretty darn impressive

Not necessarily. The galaxy s 4g doesn't have cm7, but they have miui running on stock kernel. Also, making an aosp kernel shouldn't be as hard as it is in devices that ship with froyo and the kernel can be based off of the galaxy s2.

There are already several that have been put for a good couple months. CM9, AOKP, MIUI, etc. Not officially, but will be official once ICS comes out Monday.

Thanks for the repsonse.
Any idea who'd be fastest or what the turnaround time would be with adopting the Sammy ICS drivers? I know a stock rooted Rom usually drops fast but I haven't kept up with CM so I don't know where they're headed with the T989. I tried out one ICS ROM that worked well but the two snags (lag and vmail problems) I had were pretty major and had to go back to stock rooted.

That's whitehawkx latest aokp build. Damn near flawless. Give that a shot my friend!

AOKP is the going to be the way to go no matter what your needs are once it is official there will be no topping that not even cm9

I think what he wants to know is
will there be an official t-mobile ics rom, stripped of Touch Wiz, thus giving a vanilla ics rom?

That wouldn't be too bad I guess since I'd get wifi calling and still could remove bloat. CIQ would still be there though. Wouldn't that need Apex or another 3rd party launcher instead of the stock ICS version?
What I really want is a pure Nexus style vanilla ICS ROM. That may not be available until the source comes out. I was thinking devs could get at Samsung's ICS drivers and processes that make it more stable but that may take awhile.

Why do you think CM9 will not be as good as AOKP? I don't really know what the difference is. I have used CM7 on the HD2 and loved it!! Can you explain what AOKP is? Thanks

Recent JB ROM releases....

Will the recent jb releases for phones like the Evo 3D and the other Evo or two help development of a (better) working ROM for the supersonic? I'm on CM9 now but I wouldn't mind CM10!
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app

We have some JB Roms. With the 3D getting the updates, most people think it would help but they're two different phones entirely. Different hardware so the cameras are no use .. maybe some internal files could potentially help.. but who knows. I'll leave it to he Pros.

JMZ's CM10 is stable from what I read, however, the camera/camcorder isn't ready yet so that kills it for me.

If you're waiting on those anytime soon, you might want to unbuckle your seatbelt... The ride is not going to go very fast for the time being... Considering these devs work off ports, shoooottt they get an Oscar from me... :victory:

That has got to be one of the most poorly written questions I've ever seen. With a mastery of English like that (did you mean "easiest" when you said "easys"???), how on earth do you hold a job that allows you to afford a smartphone? Holy crap. That seriously makes me sick. What's wrong with our schools...
And it's not even a real question... 'best' isn't an "at everything" thing, or there would only be one ROM, because the rest would all be 'worse'. You need a specific question if you are looking for any kind of meaningful answer.
I'm sad to say I'm interested in the answers to this topic, which is why I read it myself... let me try wording it better so that you don't simply get pummeled by people making fun of you:
Of the Jellybean ROMs out there:
What's the most stable ROM?
What's the ROM closest to stock Google Jellybean?
What's the most built-out, tweak-able Jellybean ROM (including features not in stock Google JB), and how does it compare in stability to the most stable ROM?
How do the new Sprint/Samsung leaks compare to these?

My bad I didnt proof read everything I sent it out but you say whatever you want not going to hut my feeling any I got other thing to do besides pick ob people instead of trying to help someone isnt that what this site is for to help people and pick on people and im running tw jb now but either doesnt matter to me just looking for a better rom

Note the Sprint leaks are Touchwiz - should indicate a JB OTA update coming soon if you didn't want to install one custom. The latest ROMS are pretty clean - cleaner than the ICS final release leak for the Epic 4G Touch was, so that may be forthcoming soon.
