Android 2.3 Gingerbread has only just been announced and so far only the Google Nexus has been lucky enough to get the latest update for the popular OS. It’s still going to be a little while before other manufactureres will get the Gingerbread treatment, with Google still yet to them the requirements and documentation to run the OS.
However, for all you Froyo users who want a little taster of what Gingerbread will look like on your smartphones, you can download the Gingerbread Launcher App. The app is unfortunately not a full version of the upcomign update, but instead an app which changes the UI of Android 2.2 (anything earlier won’t work) to the Gingerbread format, giving a sneaky peek at how it will look on the device.
There are currently other ways of obtaining this Gingerbread launcher effect on your smartphone by rooting your device and using ROMs which have been prepared for various devices, but it’s quite early days for this, and they will not to useful for you device. Your best option may be to be patient and just wait for the release but if you are one of the latecomers to Froyo, Gingerbread Launcher may keep you amused for a while.
