The kings of ROMs, xda-developers, have just reorganized their list of handsets running Android 2.3, Gingerbread.
Described as “for testing and playing purposes”, ROMs are the bread and butter of the underground community, a community which most recently includes Android. The self-described open source OS has made it easy for determined programmers to port the OS to new and exciting devices such as the HTC HD2.
As of today, that list includes the HTC Droid Eris, HTC Hero, HTC Hero CDMA, HTC Desire, and HTC Wildfire, HTC EVO 4G, HTC Incredible and HTC Sapphire. SDK ROMs are not usually ready for prime time and as the name suggest, they are designed for developers only.
Included in today’s announcement, xda-developers has made it clear that these ROMs “only boot, and they only show you the Gingerbread interface. We’re not exactly sold on validity of this statement, but we’ll keep in mind before we get to some testing.
With that being said, we wouldn’t steer you clear of giving the ROMs a thorough testing and if you choose to take the challenge, do let us know your thoughts on Gingerbread. We’re eager to get our Nexus One updated or an analysis unit of the Google Nexus S, so rest guarantee that we’ll be joining you shortly.
