Last week we told you that the developers over at XDA were nearing completion on a Gingerbread ROM for the Droid Incredible. Well, it appears that they have done it, and you can now install Gingerbread on a Droid Incredible.

On that note, it is an extremely alpha build with a lot of things still broken. It’s based on the SDK, and it won’t really be ready for general use until the actual Gingerbread source drops. Here are the major bugs that users will have to deal with:

No Sound
No Camera
Bluetooth

If you want to check it out for development purposes, however, hit up the XDA thread for a download link and instructions, and continue after the break for a brief video demonstration of Android 2.3 running on a Droid Incredible.

I understand this website makes money from advertising on people viewing the pages here.
But do you have to resort to false headlines, this is no better than SPAM.
Gingerbread is not working on the incredible, no camera, no sound, no bluetooth, and to use your words “an extremely alpha build”.
Lets not waste people time with false headlines.
Something like “Gingerbread ALPHA for the Incredible” would have been much more appropriate and wouldn’t have wasted my time.

What’s the problem with this headline? For the most people who r interested in gingerbread at this early time, this headline with incredible, the device name, itself means automatically ‘alpha’.I think… it might be little tricky, but can’t be blamed for spam… that’s too far..

Android must be compiled against the specific device architecture. Not doing so results in very slow rom and mostly unusable “rom”.

This is the case, all current Gingerbread “roms” are SDK ports, witch can’t end in usable roms.

The title suggest that it is (fully) working, whereas it can’t.
