Will the Droid 1 handle Gingerbread?

[Josefius]

Whoever said Eclair was better then Froyo must be smoking something.

Really doubtful that Droid1 will get the GB update. That's why they are giving us that out dated FRG83B bs substitute. lol Just my opinion.

I'm pretty sure we are, I saw a tweet from one of the main devs for Android yesterday:

morrildl Dan Morrill
RT @dnaltews ignoring mythical "requirements", Gingerbread is generally snappier -- if Froyo runs on a device, Gingerbread should run better.

So yeah, I predict we will, since also this:
Android Update - Certain Droid X and Droid received Android 2.2.1 updates

As for original Droid owners, the Android 2.2.1 update is already rolling out albeit in stages, so there is no way at all to force the update at the moment. Up next, ladies and gents, Android 2.3!

The Droid isn't just a legacy device in the realm of electronics, it's fossilized at this point. No way will it get an OTA, Moto and everyone else too wants people to keep buying more devices, to do this is just bad business.

Hugh, what do you call FRG83D? Hmm? Rolling out now. If you mean an OTA push for 2.3, that's up for debate, but the odds are in your favor.

This guy, who works for Google

Says this about Gingerbread

So who are you going to trust? Some LG idiot, or Google?

messed up, they resized my image. The dude who works for android says there is no minimum cpu speed.

 

[Droid DOES!!]

No *hard* requirements but practical ones. He also said, "GB H/W needs are similar to FY". I vote Google!! Time will tell though! :dancedroid:

DroidForums junkie!!

Will gingerbread run on a rooted droid? definitelty

Will it be pushed via OTA and run well? I have no idea since my droid hasnt seen stock speeds since I got it 9 months ago

 

[Josefius]

The quote I posted from the Android lead developer said that there is no minimum "requirement", and that Gingerbread will run better on devices already running Froyo.

I mean OTA 2.3, sorry, not just any OTA.

I'm running 6.1 with a custom compcache script that gives me an extra 30MB of virtual RAM. Works extremely well.

Do you need to reboot daily? If not, would you please share your compcache script goodness?

 

[furbearingmammal]

No I don't (though I usually do) and at the moment it's not working.

My phone doesn't seem to like memory compression. There's a thread in the Koush subforum entitled COMP cache or something similar that we're discussing it.

 

[wingdo]

That's good to know. I've seen the COMPcache thread on CM forums but haven't paid attention to it as my phone really hates it. Then I saw your post about how it's working great and well I was kinda hoping there was one which didn't require frequent reboots to work correctly. That's my one hatred for COMPcache.

 

[furbearingmammal]

When it worked it worked beautifully. I also managed a 1681 Quadrant with it going. But then I had some unrelated problems and now it just hot reboots on me when I try to enable it.

I've said this in other threads, and I will say it in here.

FRG83D is the FINAL official Droid 1 OS release.

Anything beyond FRG83D will be courtesy of 3rd party developers.

sory to say but ur wroung my friend for one frg83d is like the update the n1 got to prep for g bread and that lg phone will be getting g bread after all and g bread has no hard where standerd's now in not to shure about honey comb but that is not for right now ane way ota or not the og droid will still be getting g bread so where not out of the game just yet

Ok... so with all that's been said...

Have any Droid 1's received the GB update?
