count the ways I love Gingerbread

[AndroidSPCS]

So I've been using Gingerbread on my Evo (CM7) for a while, and I keep finding new cool features that are simply awesome.

Aside from all of the well document changes in Gingerbread, I really love a couple of cool features:

1. ability to "lock" the desktop so I don't accidentally drag away an icon into another screen or the trash can, or accidentally keep popping up the "add" menu. This is a huge huge thing for me!

2. I just discovered this the other night - while viewing notifications, I can "swipe" away each notification to remove them, rather than dismiss all, or view each one to dismiss them individually. This is such a cool feature!!!

I really liked Froyo, but I'm loving Gingerbread!!! I can't wait til my Epic is upgraded to a good version of Gingerbread. I'll be super content.

Flash it yourself mate
I'm using an LG P500 and already running Gingerbread well over a month now... Won't be officially released until August... ./care.

That's the benefit of an open-source OS. This isn't iPhone. Just cook your own OS, it's not that hard.

You should check out the EF02 leak (Gingerbread) for the Epic 4G, seriously, its rather nice and stable from everything I can tell (been running it 1.5 days).

Are you using the stock ROM, or have the devs cooked up a nice rooted ROM based on it?

I read about it when it first came out, but was waiting for the devs to cook up nice Roms based on it.

I just showed a buddy the new power widgets in 2.3, simply awesome. My buddy's 2.2 power widget is very basic. He is jealous.

I'm just pretty much running stock (rooted obv). I did just flash a deodexed ROM a little while ago, but its still stock. I do know there's is a ROM coming up in the morning by marcusant... and I'm sure other developers are building on it.

I will only be stock as long as I have to I can't wait for a custom ROM, I only updated cuz I wanted GB that much.

* The power notification widgets have one more interesting feature in CM7: if you long-press an icon, it will take you to the settings of that particular icon (for example WiFi settings).

* Another cool thing is the possibility to enable a battery percentage icon in the notification bar.

* GB gives also a better overview of battery usage in Settings.

* GB allows you also to move more pieces of apps to SD card, thus freeing-up more of internal storage.

Fingers crossed all this makes it to the Desire (whenever that might be).

I'm pretty sure the features you're talking about are features of CyanogenMod specifically and not Gingerbread.
