The dedicated folks over at XDA-Developers have been hard at work getting Gingerbread ROMs working on various devices. You may have seen our story about the list XDA is keeping, but in case you missed it these are the devices which currently have Gingerbread ROMs: HTC HD2, Droid Eris, Hero, Desire, Wildfire, and the EVO 4G. Notice a trend here? That’s right, these are all HTC devices so far.
At the bottom of said list, the author has added the Incredible to their second list of devices that should have a ROM soon. I did a bit of digging on the ‘Droid Incredible Android Developlent‘ forum and came across this thread which outlines the progress that has been made on the Incredible so far. Work is just getting started it seems, and this appears to be their furthest point of achievement:

We’ll be following this one closely, so stay tuned for the latest developments. Also, I should mention that these are not working Gingerbread ROMs, but simply SDK ports for testing purposes so that once Gingerbread actually hits, working ROMs can get up much quicker. None of the Gingerbread ROMs available right now are actually functional, so unless you are wanting to get involved with the development process, I would hold off until the actual working ROMs start showing up.
