Brand new, haven't even had the Ally for 2 hours yet. Upgrading from a palm Pixi Plus.

I found this to see if the Ally had gingerbread. Being I haven't seen it anywhere else like here (seems to have the biggest community) I have my doubts.

EDIT: Link pulled due to its worthlessness.


What are the risk trying this? Can I brick my new toy or try it because there's always a recovery option?

If this is garbage, I'll pull the link next time I'm on so no one gets bit.
 
Now i'm no developer (publicly anyways) butttt the following lines are in the build.prop

Code:
# begin build properties
# autogenerated by buildinfo.sh
ro.build.id=HONEYCOMB
ro.build.display.id=sdk-eng 3.0 HONEYCOMB 104254 test-keys
ro.build.version.sdk=11
ro.build.version.codename=REL
ro.build.version.release=3.0
ro.build.date=Wed Feb 16 19:26:18 PST 2011
ro.product.model=Nexus S
ro.product.brand=google
ro.product.manufacturer=Samsung
ro.build.description=sdk-eng 3.0 HONEYCOMB 104254 test-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=generic/sdk/generic:3.0/HONEYCOMB/104254:eng/test-keys

# Honeycomb SDK for Nexus S
ro.sf.widthpixels=480
ro.sf.heightpixels=800
ro.sf.lcd_density.xdpi=254
ro.sf.lcd_density.ydpi=254
ro.sf.lcd_density = 120
Theres even a section that says "#system.prop for generic sdk"

Seem's like an Honeycomb SDK port for the Nexus S
That alone leads me to believe its fake, but i'll wait for others to chime in
