Its the nick name that Google's likes to put on their phone operating system version. On every .1 they update they release it with a nick name. So Gingerbread is given to Android 2.3, Froyo was given to Android 2.2 and it just does down the line to 1.5 i believe.

Yes Gingerbread is the new Android Operating System. It is also known as CM7, 2.3.2, or 2.3.3. It is much faster than the older OS! I am using it right now.

Yes you will need to find a Gingerbread rom from the Hero thread.

[Q] Rooting the Stock 2.3.3 Rom

Hey all,
I just bought an Inspire today and am very satisfied with it so far, but I would love to know if there is any way to root the stock 2.3.3 Rom that came with the phone. I didn't update it myself, it came pre-loaded with Gingerbread. I would like to root because I want to be able to get a Rom running that has Sense 3.0. Sorry if this question has already been asked, but I couldn't seem to find anything while sifting through plenty of threads...lol. Thanks again guys!

Yes use the hack kit

The instructions are there, just read and follow them you will be fine. Most questions are answerEd in the thread. Its pretty simple even though it seems overwelming.
I was really skerd when I started, but after doing it was I realized I stressed over nothing.
Good luck with it and enjoy.

The Rom version is 3.20.502.52. There is no easy way but the only method is detailed here.

Desire Roms

Hi I just got my inspire and already have cm10.1 up and running. I was wondering, I saw that the desire and inspire are very similar. I'm guessing you can flash the others ROM but I saw there's a difference in the speaker. Is there a flashable mod to fix that?
Sorry I'm using my phone for xda and the search on xda app is awful so please don't rage about how I didn't search.
Thank you!
