Gingerbread

[Guest RichJD]

Appologies if I missed a thread already but I'm reading around that we're due to get Gingerbread in a couple of months (not sure what the hold up is)

Just wondering what it brings appart from a better keyboard and if we can still use the kitchen to make custom roms on it?

Say "weeks" (maybe even days), Cyanogen seems to be on the way :mellow:

First, it's a lot faster. And it has real dualcore support, Froyo is not that good in process handling on dualcore devices afaik.

Where exactly did you get that information? Where have you seen evidence that 2.3 supports dualcore? Google hasn't said anything about that. There are no optimisations for dual core cpu's.

true multicore support will come with 2.4 Ice cream.

Gingerbread still doesn't fully support dulacore, but, at least it does it better than Froyo. Other than that, it is faster so the "problem" will be grabbed at two ends.

Can't wait for CM7/MoDaCo gingerbread

Gingerbread adds support for hardware accelerated interfaces. So the tegra chip we got can make the UI a whole lot smoother, why you think the Galaxy S II's browser is so smooth? its hardware accelerated :mellow:

Source? As far as I know, gingerbread does NOT bring Hardware accelerated UI...

[Guest Rusty!]

Correct, it doesn't. Honeycomb does though.

The Galaxy S phones have a specially built browser for hardware acceleration, they had it back on 2.1, nothing to do with Gingerbread.
