Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread ROM for Samsung Galaxy S leaks

27 March, 2011
The official Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread update for the Samsung I9000 Galaxy S is out - well, unofficially. We’re still expecting the official update but you could download and install this one right now, at your own risk...

First off, this is not a custom rom !

Second, SGS is a legendary handset and the fact the gingerbread is available for too few handsets for the moment, sgs gingerbread update deserves to be a news !

Also, x10 is rubbish ! My friend has it and he keeps crying in the corner whenever he sees sgs in my hands.

Now stop praising x10 which is nothing more than a joke from sony and pls stop trolling..

Cheers !

    AnonD-1544, 27 Mar 2011 I hate it when gsmarena advertises these custom roms and ... moreThe ROM is an official samsung release "LEAKED"
    GSMARENA has to prevent users as it can't be flashed through official samsung Kies.
    This rom has to be flashed through ODIN which is NOT an official samsung software.
    You're just a stupid sony ericsson fan, stay whith your xperia brick.

      nick, 27 Mar 2011the x10 is such a bad phone it doesnt deserve any media att... moreWell if you hate s/e that's fine. Htc and moto also have plenty of custom roms as well but I never seen gsmarena bragging about them.

      Sometimes it maybe a little deceiving you know because when you read such news you think it's the official rom and then you discover it's only a custom rom! And custom roms are released like every week.

      By the way I'm glad XDA found a lagfix for the sgs otherwise it would have been the laggiest android phone ever.

                Since you know that it may be faulty then why talk about it? It's better to talk official. For example, the x10 has plenty of unofficial roms like 2.2 and 2.3 and this also applies to the mini's but I never read a single article about this.

                So why brag a lot about sgs? Please let's wait for the official rom and than announce it, instead of messing with users and making them brick their phones because they don't know how to deal with the roms.

                Keep in mind, a lot of the visitors here are general users and not geeks and professionals like xda for example.

                Cheers!

                  Just installed the Gingerbread update via Odin. Guys, please make sure to reset your phone before flashing this ROM. For better results, I wiped both internal and external storage. The phone works like a charm, smooth like cheese. Graphics are lot better and performance is unbeaten. Go go go... Install it right now, dont wait for Samsung.

                        gyro not working. neither on 2.3.2 nor on this one. perfomance is better a little better, media scanning on start up is pretty fast, the phone lags less comparatively. the stock widget is better in 2.3.3. 2.3.2 consumed a hell lot of ram! this one goes easy in that area. Music player issues; play a song and switch your screen off and your music player freezes. apart from the music player; a brilliant upgrade. must have.

                              I've just done it with these instructions but there are some screen colors crashing when you play video and when the phone starts. Yes there are some improvements on google maps and browser. Don't know what else has improved.
