Root DeFroSTing some Gingerbread...?

[turbohobbit]

Just wondering if anyone knows when Richard is aiming to release DeFroST Gingerbread?

 

[Hadron]

Once CyanogenMod have a stable, full-featured GB release.

As far as I know, CM7 hasn't been ported to the Desire yet...

Alpha 2 is out for the Nexus S - [ROM] CyanogenMod 7 for Nexus S - Alpha - xda-developers

You need to look harder...

That's GingerVillain, not DeFroST...

DeFroST is based on CyanogenMod.

It's done by Richard Trip, who's now part of the Villain team, and it's based on ASOP 2.3

But it's not CyanogenMod.

That's one benefit of DeFroST, and the reason I used it over Oxygen before Gingerbread...

I'm sure Richard will update DefroST once CM7 is stable & ported...

if your reasons for using richards builds is because of CM then why not just use CM instead of defrost?

richard is an amazing dev and hes the reason cm is so good on the desire imo.
defrost is good because of richardtrip and how he implements things not because of CM.

each to his own i suppose, i just dont get it

 

[turbohobbit]

I'm keen to know because I liek DeFroST and I think Richard creates very good, stable ROMS. If there are other Trip ROMS that are a) very good, b) stable, and c) Gingerbread, then I'm more than willing to listen to the options.

It is one reason why I used it. Richard is certainly an awesome dev. Adam is as well though - DefroST was based on Adam's work until DefroST 3. I did prefer DefroST over OpenDesire because of what Adam added

GingerVillain and Oxygen are the two god options at the minute.

I haven't tried GingerVillain, but Oxygen is nice and stable for me

Given Oxygen 2.0 is Gingerbread, do all teh extras like video camera work or is that still in dev? Also, is it an overclocked ROM?

 

[Rastaman-FB]

i think it all works other than 720p and that might work too, havent looked recently

 

[Jammy]

It can overclock to 1113MHz on the kernel that comes with it. You can flash another one if you prefer though...

Adam has posted a list of issues with the ROM:

Richard is a great dev and adds a lot to a great base.

Gv is pure. Defrost is cm + Richard. Richard is instrumental in making Gv work but he isn't adding to it.

When cm goes ginger, defrost will too and it will be much better than Gv

There's an unofficial alpha in the CM6 nightlies thread at XDA, but no official pre-release yet (and from the dev's report it doesn't seem ready for day-to-day use). Does all sound promising - don't mind waiting a little if it means it's done right.
