Holiday Gingerbread anyone?

Danalo over on XDA has already put together an ODIN package that's rooted and deodexed for those who want to get some Gingerbread now. He does have a non-rooted and non-deodexed ODIN ROM file for those who don't want to root.

You can find it at this thread.

If I were to do this NOW, how would I keep the OTA update from happening in the coming couple days?

Sucks...what tethering or wifi apps (besides Verizon's pay-for-it one) will work with Gingerbread?

If your rooted, most work fine. I can't recall it off the top of my head since I'm not rooted anymore but wifi tether beta 6 (i think) worked great and if you changed the device profile to samsung fascinate you could broadcast in infrastructure mode and tether to a android tablet.

What was thrown around in the past on other forums is 3.1-beta2

Works just fine on the ota leak with root.

I take that back, I just lost the ability to interact with the screen after shutting it down. I'll experiment later tonight, could be a random thing here, too!
