Gingerbread release coming soon!? - Thunderbolt General

So the word on Droid Life is that gingerbread will be dropping during Q2. This came from an email sent by HTC.
My question is: is it a good idea to go ahead and root now or just wait a couple months and see what happens?

TBH is stirring up some gingerbread talk on Twitter. Some sort of release to droiders... Might have to take the dx back from the gf for some gb flashing inn a few days.

People who are rooted will likely have it on their phones before non-rooted people do.

I want gingersense.

Whats weird is yesterday early morning I looked for a update and it said it there was but then I had to take a phone , lost signal and it never came up again.
Yesterday Slayher tweeted that the next tb rom fixes all known, root exploits. I would guess that for him to say something as a matter of fact like that would indicate someone has a leak and that it's already confirmed to be true.

The way Check Updates responds to your queries has nothing to do with an OTA coming out soon. Posting speculation on it is a waste of time, same as the twenty other times I have seen a thread on this. Wait for someone with a proven track record of reliability to post that one is coming.

I know you're new so I won't be mean but if you'll look around, there are plenty of threads like this. Also, to echo jburnette, just root and you'll have Gingerbread.
See my sig for a GREAT rom to go to.
Questions like this would be better asked to htc/verizon (verizon does have an android forum btw). The only people at this point that might care about an ota are unrooted users which still baffle me as to why they ask such questions on a forum about rooting/bleeding edge/non-oem development. It's sort of like going on a linux forum and asking if when the next version of windows will come out. But if you're looking to root and get GB now, then you asked the right question, just worded in a way that could have been better
Thanks for news

Who said GB was bad or that anything was wrong with GB?
Wow couple months away. I guess once we get the GB update thats it.
Yeah who knows. It is Verizon we are talking about after all lol. I'm on GB right now. The only reason I want the ota to come out is so the develepers can have a bit if a more stable base (maybe, the newest leak is much more stable than the alpha that was leaked)

[Q] Has Gtg stopped his work?

Just asking... please don't flame
Loved Gtg's work but noticed he has taken down all his ROMs because of some Network Issues in his latest ROM. He said a couple of days but it's been 6 days now I guess.
As such there is hardly anyone working on Infuse... and that is so sad . Now even if Gtg stops working on it, I might as well get rid of this phone!!
So anyone knows if Gtg is coming back? Or is the Infuse is dead even before it properly took off here
He hasn't left, to my knowledge. He's working on a couple of things right now. He'll be back in full force in the near future.
Development for the Infuse is by no means dead. LunuxBozo is currently working on bringing CM7 to the Infuse and has made what I consider tremendous progress.
What I thought was, I'd become one of those deaf-mutes; or should I?
I would love to flame but since you asked nicely.. What do you mean he has removed his ROMs? Infused is still up and hasn't really had any major problems...
I meant the GB ROMs. Froyo were great and I have no problems with his GB latest ROMs as well, but I am no one to comment on Network data rate issues that others are having as I never get that high data rates in my area anyway
Not blaming Gtg at all.. he is awesome, but just curious to know if Infuse support will ever reach something like that for GalaxyS. Just love this phone ...
With the GB update looming, it may be fair to say that infused, as it sits, may be dead. Why continue development on the Rogers base when he can scratch it and wait for easy street with ATT update?

Froyo Infused was never pulled, it's still there.
As to gtg - I'm assuming he'll be back. He's probably burned out (I don't blame him) and needs a break. I would too. Since Rogers dropped GB we've been spending a liiiitle too much time at our keyboards...
Just hold on. Things will come eventually
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997R using XDA Premium App
i feel few people own infuse that's why we have so few custom roms whereas htc models and samsung galaxy are owned by way too many people and due to their popularity more devs came up with their edition.
as far as gtg is concerned froyo links are there and one link of infused is still there if one goes through infused rom.
i am just waiting for att gb update and then hope that we will have more custom roms and new version by our gtg

Kies mini recognizes my infuse now but says its unregistered.
we know that the infuse and sgs4g are getting 2.3.5 and the t-mobile gs2 supposedly ships with 2.3.5 but the gs2 att version ships with 2.3.4. give it atleast a couple weeks since they will likely update both (and the captivate) together. i doubt they will give us 2.3.5 before the gs2 but who knows. even if they do i dont think they'd release the infuse update till after the frenzy is over for the gs2

The crazy part is that if you go on the AT&T website right now and look at the specs for the GS2, it doesn't' even list what operating system it comes with.

The 2.3.5 leaks are pretty good but I get it. Lack of sources is a *****. Entropy fixed wifi on his kernel but no HDMI is annoying. I am on the fence with what to spend my time with. I might abandon simply honey as there are bug I have no hope of fixing and my even after disabling the battery full notification it still causes a bug where I need to reboot the phone to mount the SD after a full charge.
Its either work on that or work on ucki3/4 and I'm leaning towards ucki3 over simply honey right now.
Yeah it's a joke that official gingerbread isn't out yet. Guess we are really lucky to have the roms we do. Infused 1.6 is excellent. Will be sad when all the devs leave for gs2!!

Kinda figured this would happen. Now if HTC was a decent company they would still release their source...but we all know they wont.

I never really expected this to happen after observing all the work from the devs on it. ICS has always ran kinda wishy washy for me. I mean it works and all, but there are definitely some performance issues and bugs no matter which rom you use. Verizon nor HTC intends to release a shoddy product. It either has to work 100% or not at all. If ICS cant run as well as GB did, then it aint gonna happen.
I wish I had a dollar for all the false rumors that have been posted about ICS, I'd buy Verizon and have enough left over to keep me in booze and hookers for the rest of my life!
I think this is one more dollar in my stash....

If that were the case though, the thunderbolt would've ran well from launch day, which anyone who had one since then will say that it didn't. Originally the battery life was horrendous and had to be fixed by an OTA.

NO ICS
just called HTC ,,, and they told me , that we are not getting ics,,, htc thunderbolt is discontinued,,,, :crying:

			
				
We could call and email different reps at HTC and we would get a slew of different responses from them all. Stuff like this no one will know the correct answer as tech support as we all know is the last to know.
Sent from my ThunderBolt using Tapatalk 2
So let's see if I understand this... the OFFICIAL WORD from Verizon AND from HTC is that the Thunderbolt will or will not get ICS and will get it within the next two days or later than that or never.
Does that about cover it? <G>
Honestly, I don't see what all the flap is about? ICS doesn't offer anything I need or want other than (I HOPE!) a better kernel for the Devs to work with.
Meanwhile, NuSense works for me and the BAMF leak works for me if I want ICS and, if I want Gingerbread, Infected ROM works for me and Thunderstick BB works for me along with a bunch of other ROMs I've tried.
Was at Verizon today, Reps informed me there will be no ICS for our phones...Cant say I'm surprised...my upgrade is in January, not going to worry about it .. Can't believe they state we would get the upgrade, then renege ..
If Apple can upgrade their older model Iphones for several years , why can' t our Android phones do the same.. and no I'm not switching..
