Gingerbread (aka Android 2.3) on Evo!

[BHalbrooks]

It might have been faster to just search the web for this information...

Yea, I googled it right after posting that, but didn't want to change it so others that don't know anything (Like me) can learn what it's about hah.

They talk about garbage collection and games. Garbage collection is a programmers term that means: make better use of memory while the app is running and don't bloat up memory. It's not just for games.

That in turn (on any computer) tends to make things run a bit snappier.

Appreciate it.

They could be waiting until hq opens in kansas, so that should be about 5minutes.

Good man!

Rooted users see this thread, beginning with this post -

Includes XDA link to where this OTA will be available first for rooted Evo users.

When I click to check for "HTC software update", it still comes back with:
"System Upgrade 3.70.651.1 (58.11 MB) FOTA update" is available. This is the same result I've had for months.

Based on reviews here, I never downloaded or installed the 3.70x update. Will this prevent availability of an upgrade to Gingerbread now?

It very well may prevent that. Same thing happened on the Froyo update - users had to be at the last revision before it would recognize as Froyo-update-able.
