Throughout the week we’ve chatted about the G2 a bit, in hopes of a Gingerbread update. We mentioned the Android 2.3.3 build being leaked, which include a few improvements such as, better radio and audio codecs, faster boot up and response, improved GUI and bug fixes for bluetooth and WiFi. Then, later in the week we discussed the T-Mobile stores getting shipments of SD cards pre-loaded with the Gingerbread update. This was for all those maybe not comfortable with updating, giving them the option to take it in to their local store and letting the techs update for them.

So, if you’ve been been hoping any time now to receive this update OTA, looks like the wait is over. The candy has arrived! » Read the rest

Once again, the developers over at xda have brought us something far earlier than the companies wanted. capychimp and rmk40 over at xda have developed a ROM for the Desire HD and the Desire Z (and the G2 and Inspire 4G) based off the leaked HTC Kingdom Gingerbread build. Enter the Fusion ROM. Running Sense 3.0 and Gingerbread (2.3.3) it’s a beauty. It’s 100% working and it should be around until the actual Sense 3.0 update comes to the devices (if ever). Some of the features included are:

If you’re a HTC G2 owner and have wanted a Gingerbread ROM, but rather than one using the Android Open Source Project, you want one based on HTC’s Sense overlay…well, your waiting is over. A new ROM from the folks at Team Villain called SenseGinger brings Gingerbread with the Sense overlay to the G2, courtesy of a merge between the leaked Huashan and Wildfire S builds.

While the build has some things not working, according to thread author HomerSp, they’re working to get everything up to snuff. If this intrigues you, then get to flashing my friends, but be sure to always do a NAND backup first. Good luck, and enjoy!
