Gingerbread Source Headed to AOSP Soon, Now the Real Fun Begins
The Android 2.3 SDK has already provided a few viable Gingerbread ROMs for rooted devices, but for the real magic to happen Google needs to release the source to the Android Open Source Project as it is accustom to doing. So, folks, it looks like we aren’t far off at all from Gingerbread in your CyanogenMod, oh no, siree. Google’s Jean-Baptiste Queru has tweeted that once the Nexus S hits shelves we can expect the Android 2.3 source to hit the AOSP in no time.
Considering that root and ROMs will be the only way for some older and/or neglected Android handsets to get their taste of Gingerbread, the sooner independent devs can get cracking at the code, the better. We await the “future details” of when exactly “soon” is, however.
