Rooting takes time and effort, voids your warranty (depending on how you do it), can cause instability (based on incorrect configurations), and allows potentially-malicious applications to access portions of the system that would otherwise be off-limits. Even though rooting doesn't cost any money, I could see these issues as being enough for someone to decide it's just not worth the effort and risk.

Back on topic, I was very pleased with several of the Gingerbread ROMs that I tried out so far, and am still looking forward to the official release, whenever that does happen.
[Nexus One General] Iggy82:
I've been using the MicroMod777 Gingerbread ROM for a couple of weeks now, works great. I very rarely use video recording feature of my phone and this is only major bug at the moment, it works but with low FPS.

I'm hoping Google will release GB for N1 at Mobile World Congress (14-17 Feb)

[Nexus One General] Galaid:
Pay Google extra for non-subsidised Nexus phone, wait two months for update.

Pay xda nothing, wait two days after SDK for hundred different custom ROMs.
[Nexus One General] davados:
How true xda support is much more fluid and constant. A flashser dream at the moment rom to rom.

I , too, am running CM7 on my N1. For those you want 2.3 and are rooted, here are the steps (I'm not responsible for you messing your device up or you didn't backup before wipe):

1) Go to http://phones.crackflashers.com/passion

2) Download gingerbread-gapps-12302010.zip, d6096cac5e9f.signed-hboot-0.35.0017.zip, B#45-passion-cm7src-grid-eng.zip (Gaaps, hboot, cm7 build)

3) Move the three to /mnt/sdcard

4) Reboot into recovery, wipe delvik cache, cache, data (if you don't know how, stop here and disregard this post)

5) Install from zip - d6096cac5e9f.signed-hboot-0.35.0017.zip

6) Reboot into recovery and install the other two from zip (build and gapps)

7) Reboot, enjoy
[Nexus One General] codesplice:

Where do I start?

The new keyboard looks awful, looks like a ugly bastardization between the iOS and Android keyboard - and the pitch black negative space? WTF. The keys themselves have way too little padding and to make it worse the top secondary letters/keys have even less padding giving it a horrific claustrophobic feel. The word suggestion box looks awful now that it is completely devoid of any styling.

And the text selection graphics? Realy!?! You think that looks good? Some weird polygon with a gradient? Looks like it belongs in Windows 3.1.

...and this is just one shot. The rest of the changes are just as bad.

This had to have been designed by the engineering team. I could imagine the design process right now: "The Nexus S/X have AMOLED screens so lets make everything we can black and get rid of all styling to save battery life. Who care's if it looks ugly!"

Straight awful design work by Google. Expect to see my first major contribution to the Android theming game once I get my hand on the Nexus S or CM releasing a 2.3 build on the EVO.
[Nexus One General] ewooding:
Ahh, I see it was a twitter copy and paste now. Thanks!
[Nexus One General] kampf:
The Nexus S has a few compelling features, like screen size, FF camera, gyroscope, but little else. NFC is down the road, and who knows how well these phones are going to stand up.

I'll stick with my HTC Nexus till the S or a successor is the only way to get the latest updates first.

[Nexus One General] XSafire:
this just made my day, then ruined it

I woke up, went straight to android.com. got excited, reverted back to stock on my phone. Been checking in furiously. Now I hear that it won't be out until probably the 16th.

This blows.

Hope some hackers can get a rom out of the emulator like they did with froyo.
[Nexus One General] hks18psigst:
You sure about no sdcard slot? That's a terrible design. Hope they make it so you can mount to pc somehow.

No SD card slot? No HSPA+? Seriously? I'm sticking to my N1, and according to Engadget NFC will work on the N1 hardware so I see no reason to switch.

[Nexus One General] shuka325:
I agree. Looks totaly underwhelming. Had a Vibrant for sometime then sold it and stayed with the nexus one. It is simply a smoother running phone. Sad how the next generation of nexus phone won't even be able to stay up with it's predecessor. Just don't see the screen and the FFC any reason to jump ship.
[Nexus One General] gururise:
Where do you get the "No SD slot" from that review? I couldn't find any mention of it... I'd be surprised if it didn't have an SD card slot.

[Nexus One General] 2shellbonus:
Have to agree on that one. There's alot of inconsistency in the design, and some design decisions look plain awful
[Nexus One General] reddragon72:
Totally inaccurate. The Nexus S is the only phone with the feature and only new phones coming out will have the ability to have it. The feature is brought to the Nexus S VIA a chip so it is hardware required which the Nexus One does not contain therefor the N1 will never have that function or any phone currently manufactured.

[Nexus One General] jonyew:
Looking at the specs i see 5mp camera, 1 ghz processor, 512 MB ram. I know the hummingbird processor is supposed to be better, but cmon i thought mobile phone technology was supposed to grow a lot faster than that, the nexus one is a year old and the price was cheaper than the nexus S now. I guess its also a good thing though, i remember when i always wanted to buy a new laptop cause the specs seemingly doubled while prices fell. Definitely not the case with my N1. Wouldn't mind upgrading to a nexus s, just not worth the price at all.
[Nexus One General] atomb:
Nexus One OTA isn't happening just yet, coming in a few weeks.

from @retomeier: Not sure where Engadget is getting their reports. The Nexus One OTA isn't happening just yet - should be coming in a few weeks.

[Nexus One General] Atermoon:
As excited as I am about some of the new features of Gingerbread I just cannot stand the new UI design. The icons in the notification bar, the keyboard, the checkboxes, the dark menu background, the horrible dialer... and I'm sure I'm missing something.

God... :eek:
[Nexus One General] arcticreaver:
gingerbread looks to be a bust. was this the update that everyone was waiting for? because i had the impression that this was suppose to be best android OS but it doesn't look to be that way.

So use a different Launcher and customize it? Power of choice, thats the power of android /marketing mumbo jumbo.
[Nexus One General] BrotherG:

[Nexus One General] Award Tour:
I'm a pretty well regarded designer in the "real world" and I used the stock Froyo theme because it looked okay (save for me using LPP). It wasn't perfect but it was 1-2 updates away from being on par with iOS/WebOS - but with it's own matte/simplistic look and color scheme. I liked not having to deal with themes, I just left it as is and thought it looked better than any of other amateur (and that's what they are for the most part, amateur-like) themes. Now it's just ugly and forces me to either use someone else amateur theme or make my own.

So call me stupid but I think making stock Android look good would have been a good thing.
[Nexus One General] adam18488:
i love it.

its the little things that make a phone special...and it seems as tho 2.3 has lots of little minor changes.

bring on 3.0!!

im sure it will come early Q1

Agreed. Or even on the same day. But unfortunately not before. :(

Im really tempted to sit it out on cyanogen mod after seeing some of gingerbread. Most of the features 2.3 introduces exist in 6.1 cyanogen. And 2.3 green colors look just like puke in left 4 dead. And the black menu tabs . OMG.
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
Good to see they ignored every android user ever and kept the hideous low Res contact/caller id pictures.

Along with everything else Google's reputation of building ugliness is well deserved.
[Nexus One General] descendency:
I went from wondering how I was going to sell my Nexus One so I wouldn't feel so bad about buying a Nexus S to thinking Google should have tried harder on the Nexus S.

The only good thing for the Nexus S is that it will likely make the Galaxy S phones suck less when Gingerbread launches.

I also think the Nexus One may get the update at the same time as the Galaxy S phones (unless their carrier has anything to do with it... *cough ATT cough*) because of it.

That said, losing the SD card port to gain a better graphics processor (about 4 times as good), a front facing camera, and a gingerbread a few days earlier... is completely not worth $520.

Worse yet, in a few months (under 6), massively better phones will be out (Orion based phones, as well as other greatly improved devices).

Any chance the mods can move Nexus S posts to a separate thread? I'd like to read about Gingerbread, but I have zero interest in the Nexus S. Thanks.
[Nexus One General] OJ in Compton:
My screen and battery life will appreciate the new black elements but because they didnt update things like the gtalk app the interface just looks really inconsistent with random white and black pieces all over. Nothing wrong with recoloring but you need to go the full mile and not just stop halfway. Personally the worst part of the interface are the dialer buttons-who thought this was a good idea? I've been using a similar blackbar that I made from scratch a few months ago and I don't mind the inclusion.

Interested to see more about the SIP support and performance improvements.
[Nexus One General] Wiggz:
I totally agree.....this is the Nexus One sub-forum....it should relate to Nexus One
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
Confused as to how this update would be more social...and why does gtalk look the same. Did the video talk feature get added?
[Nexus One General] Award Tour:
Oh well, at least this gives a reason to finish and release my Google TV inspired theme. It should leverage the use of black a whole lot better than the Android team did with 2.3. Speaking of which, why doesn't 2.3 look more like Google TV if: A) Google TV doesn't look bad, B) It uses a lot of black, and C) It is essentially Android anyway.
[Nexus One General] hks18psigst:
I'm sorry to add another comment talking about the nexus s but Google should of went with HTC... they would of done everything right.
[Nexus One General] Wisefire:
I actually like the black and green. It's refreshing and simplistic. Honestly, none of us have room to talk considering we have yet to see it in action, and on a device.

If it does come out half baked, who cares? It's still Android. We can still do as we please and make it fit our needs and wants.

Here's to hoping Android 3.0 is the true graphical overhaul we are wanting.

6.1 cyanogen already has most of the features they are showing in gingerbread. looks like they are a little behind the curve!

[Nexus One General] Wisefire:

[Nexus One General] nexus14:
i completely disagree. you can see the HTC influence in the nexus one and you can definitely see the samsung influence in the nexus 2/s. the nexus one was pretty much a stepping stone for several HTC devices with similar appearance

the nexus s just screams samsung: plastic, plastic, and more plastic
[Nexus One General] ranova:
agreed. If HTC would have developed the phone, you probably wouldnt see the hummingbird cpu, plastic casing, and super amoled.

What you WOULD have would be an optical trackpad and most importantly, a LED notification light!

Not sure about the whole no expandable memory thing though.

Nexus S is basically a re-badged Galaxy S with a different design, NFC, and working GPS, hardware wise. Software wise, its just stock gingerbread.

Im just basing that off a review (http://techcrunch.com/2010/12/06/google-nexus-s-review/) and how they made a GPS hardware change and submitted it to the FCC.

Very broad, but hopeful (from the techcrunch review):
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
You people are getting hung up on plastic.

Its a beautiful looking phone. Same as N1. The "look" is the only thing they definitely got right.

Only difference is HTC puts stuff in that is disable or doesnt function right. Camera , trackball , multitouch , radio etc.

Samsung just opts to cut them out completely NO 720P , No HSPA+ ,No sd card slot.

Im convinced at this point the extended wait was for removal of features.

They seem hell bent on making sure Honeycomb is the update with the useful features. The additions in Gingerbread are minor or really ugly (CnP). The phone is a minor upgrade.

Im not saying theyll be a Nexus Z in 6 months but Honeycomb will be launching to coincide with something more impressive ...likely a tablet around iPad 2 time.
[Nexus One General] rowntreerob:
SIP-based VOIP now included in 2.3.

what does that mean for GVoice and the Gizmo5 acquisition of last year?

Does google prefer to manage the platform and to leave to app developers all the details for the apps that would piss of Verizon - by disintermediating their switched calls.

[Nexus One General] Facegarden:
720*480 is 480p (it's the height that 720p/1080p describes). 720p would be 1280x720.

[Nexus One General] TheAshMan:
Google really p*** me off.

I have done everything I can to support them, I use their mobile OS, I use GMail, I use Chrome, I use their search engine and any other one of their free services that I can take advantage of. After doing all that for them, I emailed them to ask if they could release Android v69 (Nougat) which I read about on some tech blog for 2 minutes before they removed the article and they didn't reply and I'm told I may now have to wait at least 4 years for Nougat which makes me really sad because I wanted to show it to all my friends on my birthday this year.

Google really annoyed me by not meeting my ridiculous demands made based solely on the false reporting of the tech blog and now I hate them so much I made an Andy Rubin voodoo doll and stuck chopsticks through it. I bought an iPhone, iPad and iMac to show my hatred of Google and am now part way through constructing a large shrine dedicated the wonder of awesomefullness, Steve Jobulous.

My HTC Desire is currently being used as a brake pad in my car and tomorrow I aim to take a big Android doll and a puppy into town. I will cover the dog with petrol and set fire to it and then leave the Android doll with it. When people discover the burning dog they will look for suspects and will find the Android. Then the world will know that Android is EVIL and burns innocent puppies. People will then hate Android and I will laugh.

How do you like them nougats Google?
