Personal experience so far, works fine, had a hitch with Odin freezing the first time, but just rebooted and reOdined. Runs smooth no immediate issues, and the instructions in his thread for rooting work (but his instructions have typos so be aware not to copy them as is). Already debloated myself and right now running Titanium Backup and so far so good, though would be better with voodoo ^^.

Update: Titanium backup worked, completely back to my own set up and yes Netflix does work, quite wonderfully. The visual effects of Gingerbread aren't in it, no light up bouncing and no fancy shut off/shut on, but other components such as download manager and certain settings options are all there.
[Fascinate Android Development] Toastercookie:
I'm in! Will post impressions shortly
[Fascinate Android Development] pikanate1:
I'm running on this right now, i wanted to see what this was all about before i flashed our awesome dev version. But this leak is okay, it is not real buggy. Nothing great to me but its a leak, what do you expect yakno?
[Fascinate Android Development] ryanf:
Ok I will be that Guy..... screens please?
[Fascinate Android Development] Shinebox:
Downloaded and uploaded. Enjoy

[Fascinate Android Development] pikanate1:
looks like froyo stock, but gingerbread notification bar (black and green)
[Fascinate Android Development] jptech7:
I added a couple, but not much other than the notification has changed that I have seen so far.
[Fascinate Android Development] thefunkbot:
screw them for kanging my theme!
[Fascinate Android Development] PhoenixPath:
Ugh.. Black status bars. Hopefully thefunkbot will theme the hell out of this. ;-)

Thanks for the dl and mirror guys!
[Fascinate Android Development] Grimis:
You sound like Maury Povich...." that was a lie."
[Fascinate Android Development] claudieous:
Thought I was in the clear for SD card problems, but seems as though mine, too, crapped out. All my data is still on it and I can see it with a file browser on the phone, but none of my apps are reading it. Tried a couple reboots and mounting/unmounting the card via software and physically but still no success.
[Fascinate Android Development] rivaaaa253:
So this sd card issue is a big problem right?
[Fascinate Android Development] claudieous:
Yea, unfortunately it is. Seems as though all the ROMS based off this one are either recommending that you use one of the Froyo roms or the miui/cm7 gingerbreads due to the sd card bug within this one.
[Fascinate Android Development] jptech7:
I updated the OP to clearly warn people who haven't read the thread. I also have updated my TechnoROM thread OP, and navenedrob updated his NAMELESS v4.1 thread OP to reflect the new standpoint on the issue.

Rest assured that we will have another Gingerbread leak (or maybe even official in a few months), and until then, people (devs, irc) will be working on a fully usable Gingerbread ROM whether it be CM7, MIUI, or a TouchWiz based ROM.

I'm not a part of TSM, but I've heard that TSM is working on a Gingerbread ComRom. Maybe by the time that is released, we will have some of these issues resolved.

[Fascinate Android Development] rivaaaa253:
Darn... is this somewhat of an easy fix for you devs or is this gonna take some serious thinkin time??
[Fascinate Android Development] joebob2000:
There is no consensus as to what is causing the problem. Without source code, there is no way to truly debug the system. If that doesn't change, it is possible that there will never be a solution to the SD card issue in EC09. We can only hope that someone stumbles on the problem in logcat (hasnt happened yet) or that the source or another leak drops. Aside from that, the only solution would come from a "hack" like setting up a process to run "sync" every second in the background, or some similar action that commits FAT changes. Even that might not do it given it might be a general un-mounting issue. Sad, but reality.
[Fascinate Android Development] jptech7:
You are mostly right. However, navenedrob is looking into a framework modification to fix the issue. With framework issues, you can edit the smali code, but if this is a kernel issue, then source code is most defiantly required. As far as the SD Card issue goes, try using dmsg | tail and post your results (only if you have the roasted card). Currently, I am back on Froyo, but I'll look at some GB stuff. If you can deal with not having MMS, check out jt1134's CM7 test 4. It's pretty nice.

-JP Tech
[Fascinate Android Development] janorton05:
I haven't experienced the sd card issue yet (knock on wood) I am experiencing some other issues just wondering if anybody else is. The issues are

It won't always start data transfer when it is called on. I'll start the say tweetdeck and it will timeout because data won't start.

The second is that it won't send text messages without resending two or three times. this only happens while I'm at work. When I'm at home I'm connected to wifi and they send just find so it seems that switch between 3g and 1x is 3g the main problem I'm having. Just thought I would share and see if anyone knows of a fix for these.
[Fascinate Android Development] jptech7:
Right now, TSM and navenedrob are working a lot on EC09. This is a very early alpha-quality leak, and as such, it is full of bugs. There is a certain level of carelessness in the Samsung code that the devs have to go back and fix which is a very complex and lengthy process. I've not done a whole lot on it the past day or two. I've noticed a data issue like you described, and I think there was a thread about that before the EC09 leak.. about the phone sticking on 1x. However, I have heard good things about the EC09 modem itself; many are reporting much better signal over ED-series, for example.
[Fascinate Android Development] Headcase8911:
That's interesting info jp, thanks. Do you know why it's labeled ec09? Doesn't that mean it's older than ed04? This whole thing is confusing/suspicious to me. From the p3 dibacle to the sd card carnage to the fact that it's ec rather than ed or ee. What do you think? Are my concerns unfounded?
[Fascinate Android Development] AlexDeGruven:
The general consensus is that development started internally at Samsung as soon as GB was released to developers, and occurred parallel to FroYo development.
[Fascinate Android Development] bluevolume:
This build probably is older than the current ROM that Verizon is sending out, and it makes perfect sense. There had to have been a fork in the dev tree when they updated to the GB codebase, and at that point the releases are going to happen independently.

The current Verizon build (ED04), was probably originally delivered as an RC back in February (or even sooner), and the subsequent acceptance testing/revision cycle pushed it out to April. During that same time, the GB branch continued to be worked, resulting in some internal builds that wouldn't jive with the linear release scale you are assuming.

Keep in mind that these leaks are just that, they may have never been intended for anything other than feature testing. On March 9th, a build was made from whatever was checked in that day, and somehow we got a copy of it. Its very likely that another build was made on March 10th, 15th, etc.; each with bug fixes and new bugs introduced. Dissecting these builds and trying to make them stable enough to use on our phones is fun (if you are into that kind of thing), and we are grateful for the devs who put the time in to do it. But its almost expected that another Samsung build will surface in the coming weeks that will serve as a "start over" point for our devs. And so it goes...
[Fascinate Android Development] janorton05:
This is really racking my brain. I was running the EC09 update and for the first couple days it was working great. Then like i had posted in the previous page I started experiencing some data issues and it wasn't sending my text messages. I took all the proper steps to go back to ED01 and thought it fixed the problem. The strange part that i dont understand is this. When I'm at home or even out around town. My phone works just fine. Text messages send without any errors and the data works great. But after being at work for a hour or two i notice that my phone doesnt want to use data properly and that it starts having a lot of "Message can not be sent" problems. This also kills my battery life. I've never had this problem before and it only seems to happen while at work. Any ideas?
[Fascinate Android Development] Headcase8911:
Awsome, thanks for the informative response!
[Fascinate Android Development] jptech7:
I haven't had any issues with text messages. I'm EC09 & texting someone now. Try flashing to ED01 & do the OTA to ED04 and then take it to VZW if it still doesn't work.

In response to headcase, everyone pretty much believes that development was parallel to the Froyo team, and that could be the source of some of the issues. Also, the "EC09" could have been edited by P3Droid to protect his source; I don't know. I believe that if we get an EE-series leak that it should be of much higher quality, and I fully expect something before we see an OTA... if we ever see an OTA. On the upside, CM7 mtd by jt1134 is almost done. All hardware is working, and really only MMS remains an issue.
[Fascinate Android Development] mknollman:
ok boil it down for the dumb guy - have there been any advances in the currentleak to keep it from eating SD cards?
[Fascinate Android Development] sfobrien:
This is what I'm waiting to try. If I didn't need MMS for work I would try it now.
[Fascinate Android Development] landshark68:
I don't think so.
[Fascinate Android Development] mknollman:
that was the best boiled down answer ever -thanked
[Fascinate Android Development] thewaytolite:
I appreciate all the work people have done to bring the leak to us but why hasn't anyone just deodexed and zip aligned the leak to let people decide what they want to pull out of the leak? It would make sure everything is atleast working before customization starts.

I'm running Jt's CM7 and it is beautiful.
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
Probably because the leak and stuff derived from it has a nasty habit of eating peoples' sd cards
[Fascinate Android Development] jptech7:
Theywaytolite:

I didn't realize that there was a demand for it. I may release something like that next week if nobody else has by that point.
[Fascinate Android Development] thewaytolite:
I have installed nameless technorom and the raw leak with no issues of my sd card being eaten but then again i follow instructions when it comes to my phone especially with my data. I also have a spare sdcard that i do some installs from.
[Fascinate Android Development] thewaytolite:
I really do appreciate it.
[Fascinate Android Development] mxpxrobbie:
Can someone tell me how to get my Market apps to show back up in the My Apps list?
[Fascinate Android Development] pikanate1:
Im with ya man, im sick of black
[Fascinate Android Development] Toastercookie:
Not really worth it IMO--kinda laggy and I forgot how much I HATE the stock TouchWhiz theme after being on ComRom for so long. Going back to ComRom now :P
[Fascinate Android Development] jptech7:
+1 I will keep it for a day or two, but it really isn't very good. Laggy, kinda buggy, TouchWizzy, ugh...
[Fascinate Android Development] Toastercookie:
I was able to go back easily by simply re-ODINing Clockwork Recovery and the DL09 radio, then booting into Recovery and installing the ComRom ZIP.
[Fascinate Android Development] tripacer99:
Looks like they added in another bar to the signal strength meter. Nice.
[Fascinate Android Development] PhoenixPath:
Is it TW4 or still TW3?
[Fascinate Android Development] pc1990:
First of all, this thing is smooth! If any of you were having trouble rooting through adb heres a link to an apk that will root it for you:D:

Link: http://droidmodderx.wordpress.com/gingerbreak-apk-root-your-gingerbread-device/

I used the Gingerbreak v 1.20 and it worked great.
[Fascinate Android Development] jptech7:
@tripacer99: Yes, it looks like most of the mods are with the notification bar like the 5 signal bars instead of 4.

It appears to still be TW3. I don't know much about TW4 though.
[Fascinate Android Development] eshu68:
Google voice video chat

Do this mean we will see Google Talk video chat with this build ??
[Fascinate Android Development] deaffob:
ComRom is TW too, it just has different default launcher in it. This thing is real deal btw.
[Fascinate Android Development] beenz:
what good is google voice video chat without a FFC?
[Fascinate Android Development] Toastercookie:
Yes but ComRom has a nice skin that looks like real Gingerbread. This EC09 GB is just the same TouchWhiz as 2.2 w/ a new pulldown.
[Fascinate Android Development] KitsuneKnight:
You could use it with a mirror? :p

But, at the very least, you could see people!
[Fascinate Android Development] anaphora68:
What's the best radio to use this with?
[Fascinate Android Development] jptech7:
It includes a modem.
[Fascinate Android Development] Toastercookie:
It definitely installs its own radio, I wouldn't recommend using it with any others...
[Fascinate Android Development] anaphora68:
Fantastic, thanks. I'm trying this as soon as I get home.
[Fascinate Android Development] TheMuffStuff:
Not showing me any love eh? (;
[Fascinate Android Development] AlexDeGruven:
I'll have to check this out tonight. Is it mtd or bml?
[Fascinate Android Development] PhoenixPath:
If you get rid of it and make a nice status bar (grey/blue) in a nice TW theme, you'll get all the lovin' you want. :p

Better? ...or just creepy?
[Fascinate Android Development] Shinebox:
This is slower and buggier than stock ED01/ED03/ED04....going back to MIUIWiz
[Fascinate Android Development] TheMuffStuff:
Just saw the 5 bar signal in the OP Pictures, whats up with that.
[Fascinate Android Development] jptech7:
Before, you could have no bars but have coverage. Maybe they changed so that when you have no bars, it is one bar. I haven't tested that theory yet.
[Fascinate Android Development] LovellKid:
I love that TouchWiz! Just replace stock launcher with ADW EX and I'm in heaven.. can't wait for a voodoo now!
[Fascinate Android Development] TheMuffStuff:
Just odin'ed. Found some things.

I might be wrong on some of these since I havent been on stock in a while.
[Fascinate Android Development] jptech7:
I've already loaded ADW EX ;)
[Fascinate Android Development] MrBigFeathers:
Can't wait for a debinged, debloated version. If there ever is one at least.
[Fascinate Android Development] anaphora68:
I debinged it myself. Just rename the app in system.

Also, Gingerbreak works.
[Fascinate Android Development] fortesquieu:
can you not just install a voodoo TW kernel to have it converted to voodoo?
[Fascinate Android Development] landshark68:
There aren't any TW gingerbread kernels yet, only TW froyo voodoo kernels.
[Fascinate Android Development] Dj-Dubster_TN:
Holy **** actual GB :d downloads up
[Fascinate Android Development] fortesquieu:
how about OTB kernel for Cm7 and MIUI?
[Fascinate Android Development] calebv2:
would a otb GB kernal work? the one for miui and for cm7?
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
Will it have the 5-bar signal meter? I hope that will be more accurate than the crappy 4-bar on Eclair and Froyo's meters.
[Fascinate Android Development] CHANGiism:
Just as you said, they are only for AOSP roms which has RIL hacks, radio and other things that's very specific. I believe you might be able to convert it to voodoo by ODINing one of the CWM3 recovery on this forum, which converts your file system no matter what kernel you are on.
[Fascinate Android Development] landshark68:
I don't think so considering imnuts is working on trying to put together a GB voodoo kernel right now. If the OTB kernel for CM7 worked he would just use that. Also now that I think about it, the OTB kernel for CM7/MIUI uses the MTD partition system and this GB leak is RFS. So from my limited knowledge they would not work together
[Fascinate Android Development] CHANGiism:
Nevermind about ODINing the recovery.... the recovery for Froyo does not work on GB.
[Fascinate Android Development] TheMuffStuff:
Can anyone else get there device to hook up to their computer? I Cant get it to read adb, and my comp wont even find the phone
[Fascinate Android Development] tripacer99:
How is the signal strength & data speeds with the new modem? Any noticable differences compared to the ED modems?
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
Also I wonder if it is still subject to the missed call/text issue that has been plaguing froyo releases?
[Fascinate Android Development] scottishwarrior:
I had to restart the phone and the it connected fine to my computer.
[Fascinate Android Development] Headcase8911:
That's a good point, we need some gb kernal leakage now!
[Fascinate Android Development] TheMuffStuff:
My wifi and Signal bars are green, OPs are white. Hmmmm
[Fascinate Android Development] kujayhawks77:
When the phone first boots signal icons are white, once they have connectivity they become green.
[Fascinate Android Development] swaggerwocky:
it's green if you're connected to google's network, white if you're not.
[Fascinate Android Development] jkat797:
Is there a way to root this yet? And what do I do to get from this back to comrom?
[Fascinate Android Development] TheMuffStuff:
Root doesnt work.
[Fascinate Android Development] jkat797:
So I can't get back time comrom after this? Do you think our awesome developers will be making some roms very soon with this leak?
[Fascinate Android Development] kdaz:
Root does work..google search gingerbreak...worked for me
[Fascinate Android Development] TheMuffStuff:
I used gingerbreak and all it did was force close any app that needed root access.
[Fascinate Android Development] kujayhawks77:
Rooted and running red cwm recovery right now.
[Fascinate Android Development] jkat797:
Thanks! Can you please share exactly how you did it? It would be a great help. Thanks man
[Fascinate Android Development] jptech7:
I haven't had an issue. I posted the screenshots in the OP by using ddms, and it recognized the phone. I don't guess I have used adb yet though.
[Fascinate Android Development] jptech7:
No, ASOP kernels (MIUI & CM7 included) do not work on TouchWiz. At the moment, we don't have any custom TouchWiz GB kernels. Don't flash an ASOP or Froyo.. crazy things will happen (or it just won't work at all, not sure).

Yes, it has the 5 bar signal meter. Check my pictures in the OP.
[Fascinate Android Development] jptech7:
Mine turned green. They just weren't when I took the screenshots.
[Fascinate Android Development] kujayhawks77:
Copied Gingerbreak v1.20.apk to my sd card installed waited until my phone restarted shutdown put the phone into download mode ran odin 1.3 flashed cwm-recovery-ALL.tar using pda and was good to go.

I haven't had any fc's and no reboots. Phone is running decently considering the bloatware and bing.
[Fascinate Android Development] jkat797:
Your the best. Thanks so much
[Fascinate Android Development] scarfman4:
I saw the photos in the OP, but I wasn't sure if the 5 signal bars were stock or were a custom config that you were able to change for yourself (I'm too stupid to figure out if that was possible or not). Thanks.
[Fascinate Android Development] jptech7:
No problem. All the pictures are without modification. I'm not evil enough to screw with you by doing my own hacks and mods:D.
[Fascinate Android Development] kujayhawks77:
/system/app/I500_BingSearchAndroid_11122010.apk Is this what you renamed?

And by de-binged what exactly is de-binged?
[Fascinate Android Development] pc1990:
Guys you need to read through the thread. I posted how to root easily with gingerbreak v 1.20 link and all on the third page! lol:rolleyes:
[Fascinate Android Development] bhfd64:
Worked for me too, thanks.
[Fascinate Android Development] jptech7:
Added your post to the OP to clear the confusion. Hopefully with it on the third page, the ninth page, and the OP people should get it.
[Fascinate Android Development] deaffob:
comrom 3.0? :D
[Fascinate Android Development] GrainOsand:
I think ill wait for TSM peeps to fix whatever sammy/verizon has broken!
[Fascinate Android Development] fitti28:
GOS I am with ya dude, which i am sure the TSM peeps will have something out soon.
[Fascinate Android Development] pc1990:
HA! You never know...;)
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
I think TSM is holding off this for awhile. Keep in mind this is hearsay on IRC. Don't shoot the messenger :p

I doubt we'll see much work on this being so much hostility going around over it. :o
[Fascinate Android Development] jkat797:
help!

once i root and get red clockwork mod, can i just wipe data and flash back to comrom2.0 if needed? or would i need to odin to stock?
[Fascinate Android Development] caesus:
I hope people aren't avoiding developing this because of the drama. That would be extraordinarily childish. At best.
[Fascinate Android Development] NuclearEMP:
Nice to see GB running without the main stuff being broken.

This version is laggy though, but what can you expect from a leak.

Netflix does not work right out of the box. I installed the latest version apk since it does not show in the market but when you go to stream it gives an error 12001.

Going to try a GB patch tomorrow.

I get a FC when I try and download with the browser but not in dolphin browser.

Some nice new widgets.
[Fascinate Android Development] ssmaster:
ugh I just realized this won't have voodoo sound. I don't think I can live without that feature... Going to wait until something a little more fully-fledged gets released my team sbrissen
[Fascinate Android Development] xHoLyx:
I don't know if imnuts is going to release or not, but he is working on deodexed/voodoo'd one.
[Fascinate Android Development] nemesis2all:
@ jptech7 ..... thanks for the link man. Sharing is caring.
[Fascinate Android Development] rsnps:
Can I get someone else's opinion on gps. I don't know if it's just me but I've never gotten a lock this fast (not even with dl09)
[Fascinate Android Development] AlexDeGruven:
So far so good. Odin went without a hitch. Initial boot FC'd something before the desktop got up and running so I don't know what it was, made it loop the boot animation an extra time, didn't happen again.

Gingerbreak root worked perfectly the first time. Able to remount rw with no issues. Superuser.apk installs and works correctly. ADB goes directly to root shell (# prompt).

De-Binged and debloated manually via ADB.

Lag is not as bad as FroYo or Eclair, even considering the incredible terribadity of RFS.

Netflix works and streams perfectly (I loves me some Better Off Ted on my phone).

Amazon AppStore installs updates and loads perfectly. All apps show up and seem to install fine (from my small sampling).

Sleep appears to be working normally. Screen off, phone went cool again almost right away. Wakes up without issue.

Launcher Pro installs and activates Plus without issue. Auto-Rotation and all other functions work as expected.

Only thing I've noticed so far is that the VoiceMail notification didn't come up on the first boot, or after installing/running Gingerbreak. Rebooted again and still no notification, but dials and checks VM just fine.

So far no complaints. We'll see how it charges overnight and whether the alarm goes off. If that's all good, then this is a 100% daily-driver for me until UKB goes GB or CM7 hits full functionality.

Edit: GPS got locked in to the room I'm sitting in within my house in less than 5 seconds. That's without any tweaking/GPS Aids/etc
[Fascinate Android Development] jkat797:
Can I flash froyo roms through recovery while on this??? Someone please answer
[Fascinate Android Development] Kamar234:
Probably not. In order to jump around os versions, you should odin to the os version first before flashing custom roms. EX 2.2-2.3-2.1. If you're going to be on different roms that are on the same os version, then you can use recovery.
