I seem to recall I said something yesterday along the lines of “Don’t be surprised if we see Gingerbread on some devices by the end of the day.” Apparently, I was just a few hours off.  Cyanogen has apparently worked through the night and finally has Gingerbread running on his T-mobile G2.  It looks like his success happened at 3am this morning, as you can see from his tweet at that time.
By the end of the day yesterday, another teamdouche member by the name of Chris Soyars, had compiled the Gingerbread AOSP source to work on the Google Nexus One and made the following post on his site:
I get the feeling that we are going to see Gingerbread available for download on many devices by the end of the weekend.  It sure would be awesome to have a beta version in the community that we can run on the Google Nexus One and T-Mobile myTouch 4G.  The community developers out there keep our Android experience alive with more updates than snowflakes on the ground outside my house.  Sooner or later the manufacturers, or Google themselves, are going to swoop down and grab some of this amazing talent and add them to their own Android team.  Maybe we’ll even see a CyanogenMOD based phone from a smaller manufacturer.  What about a special community driven edition of a phone from HTC or a Google developer phone? Sooner or later these guys need to get some serious recognition for the amazing work they do.
Whatever happens, I’m eager to get my hands on a stable version of one of my favorite ROMs for the myTouch 4G; CyanogenMOD from teamdouch or TheOfficial from enomther.
Do you run the early releases on your device?
