Root Gingerbread based ROMs for D1... are here

[Lock-N-Load]

First Gingerbread ROMs for Original DROID Released - Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog

with some key caveats "These are first attempts though and they lack ALL Google Apps, so you won’t get the full experience, but so far, people have nothing but great things to say. In fact, most people would switch to these immediately should they actually include any of the GApps."

so.. the game is on and this shows that, as many of us expected, the smarty pants devs are finding ways to circumvent those previously leaked "suggested hardware requirements" that many reports said would be needed to run GB - 512mb onboard mem and 1ghz processors.

Point is.. GB on the D1

apart from Gapps not working do you still have full access to wifi 3g etc? or are some of thsoe still broken?

Personally I am not willing to try any of these yet. I need everything to work.

BUT - the goal was to show (1) it is being done (2) it can be done (3) things are moving fast

Glad to see progress is being made.. but...

It is too premature to call it a GB rom when the USB and wifi are broken. ROMs that mix froyo and gb parts shouldn't be counted either.

this leads to a new rom name though.

Franedroid V1.0 lol has to have a lot of themes to live up to its name

this is EXACTLY how ROMs progress and most start/started. Many kernels, for example, in the beginning had functions that busted things like wifi and such.

these GB ROMs are pieced together as - until last week - that was all that could be done since only bits and pieces existed. but now, the source is out so things are about to change.

this is simple evolution.

this rom has been good all day. Wifi works, but no gps or accelerometer makes it tough for some things..
