[DEVS ONLY] Bootable Gingerbread build 3 [DEVS ONLY] - xda-developers

i will let you know, phone FC's a lot. had a random reboot in the first 2 minutes....although it took about 10 seconds to come back up o.0

it is very, very, laggy. lol.
 
messed around with it a bit more today.

using the build #4 still in the thread, browser works, facebook app works, texting works. can't get gmail to work, it opens the email than goes back to the listing almost immediately.

also, random reboots every few minutes, its not a big deal if you aren't in the middle of typing or something, since it literally takes 6-10 seconds to come back up.

if i knew what i was doing i'd dig into the files and stuff but my prorgamming skills only goto HTML and CSS...

I had this on my phone for a bit this morning. Its pretty sweet. And I tried out #4 and its running better. You still cant do much, i had all my apps, use the internet, send some texts but thats about it. Wifi isnt working either
Its gonna be amazing when we get some roms with a 2.3 base using this.
I did steal the keyboard and im using the 2.3 on my 2.2 now lol. Gotta get used to it ;)

Are there any changes to the system apps, for instance the music and video app??
All of the icons and menus and everything looks a lot different. I didnt inspect the apps, because i still had all of my apps on there too. But i will look more closely later and post up.

I'd really like to get any new live wallpapers that came with it too. Any way to get those?
No new live papers yet. The only one on there is the maps.
