It seems I may need to get learned on fixing the small bugs associated with Gingerbread. My observation leads me to believe that just about all the devs are moving over to 2.3. :eek:

I'm not particularly attached to sense because I use LP, just had a few nightmares with trying out the GB roms early on, and I'm gun shy now. Plus all of my work with themeing so far has been on Kings Froyo builds.

I'm wondering if I should just wave the white flag and give up on Froyo already? I'd have to start from scratch with my custom theme, but that might not be a bad thing. :p I'm still learning the ropes, and my skills are akin to stabbing in the dark! :D

I absolutely loved AOSP Gingerbread on my Hero, but it's a different beast with the evo. What the hell, I'm still using Kings unleashed R2 as my daily. It's a dinosaur considering, but for some reason I love the way it runs on my piece. With Toastmod 4.3.1 CFS HAVS nosbc, it can't be beat! 25-30 hours moderate usage.

I'll learn themeing with Froyo then I'll dive into GB. Hopefully we have an official 2.3 release by then! (snickers under his breath)

yeah i know i love kings gb r2. i kind of wish i still had my nandroid backup of it. i used to have it on my laptop until it decided to crap out on me.:( all i have to say is thank god for black tie protection from best buy.:) not sure where r2 went as i can only find his last two most recent releases.

A lot of Roms have went gingerbread bit I'm still waiting for a nice gingerbread rom that still has sense UI. I'm currently running fresh 3.5 and its getting kind a stale. His current gingerbread sense offering is still buggy and doesnt have the great customizations he has in my current rom. Can anyone name a good gingerbread/sense ROM?

Thanks to everyone that helped me unroot and swap my crippled phone (you know who you are!).

Thanks! Been trying to find this without a computer for the last week. Just got my new one yesterday and this was just in time. :)

Last one fried the motherboard.....not worth buying a motherboard for a 6 year old laptop so upgrade I did. Just trying to get it set up again ;)
