[Poll] So, how you liking Gingerbread so far?

**cloak.n.dagger** · 06-03-2011, 10:41 AM

Just want to get a feel for the general effect that the Gingerbread update has had on the EVO community.

Thanks for participating!

It's ok. It's like when a girlfriend changes her hair color. Kinda cool when you play with it for the first time, after that...it's still the same girlfriend.

LMAO! Perfectly explained!

I would like it a lot better if WiMax Notifier and ShootMe still worked.

**tbizzy1985** · 06-03-2011, 10:49 AM

Haven't noticed too many differences so far really.

**metro39** · 06-03-2011, 10:55 AM

Nothing super great about the update! Kind of anticlimactic

**mrpre5** · 06-03-2011, 10:59 AM

I think the small improvements are nice and it feels better than Froyo.

**efn77mx** · 06-03-2011, 11:18 AM

The visual changes were minor at best (my screen now looks exactly like that of an EVO Shift), but these "under the hood" enhancements are definitely a large improvement. My EVO definitely runs smoother and quicker, so I'm very happy with it.

Ug. Just noticed both of those no longer work. I've become reliant on WiMax Notifier.

me too... but I am hopeful that the developer will have a chance to take a peek at it.

Yea, but if you've got a hot girlfriend and she's the same hot girlfriend with a different hair color, that should be a bit more entertaining. At least it would be for me.

Now that would indeed make the hot girlfriend more entertaining. That would explain why the display is using up more battery. You're staring at her boobs.

**Dark_Blu** · 06-03-2011, 12:06 PM

I suppose I expected something more to change visually, but the fact that the visual changes are minor, isn't necessarily a bad thing. We're not going to get an updated Sense. Is Launcher pro better than Sense?

**RkyMtnHigh** · 06-03-2011, 12:09 PM

[QUOTE=Dark_Blu;968170 Is Launcher pro better than Sense?[/QUOTE]

IMO, no. Sense has way nicer graphics. LauncherPro can make for a nice change if you're sick of Sense, but you'll be back eventually. I've tried them all. there IS a 2.3 gingerbread launcher in the market that will make your phone look like a Nexus S if you want it too...It's fun and it works.

What's is under? Would I find it searching for "Gingerbread launcher" or something else?

**User One** · 06-03-2011, 12:24 PM

My notification bar icons look the same...well, except for the gmail one.

**rawmustard** · 06-03-2011, 12:44 PM

A couple of visual changes I like, but I'm not necessarily liking that that lock code entry screen was changed from its translucent/dark scheme to resemble other keypads. I guess I can live with it if the other improvements are well worth it. I was also glad to see the stock browser updated to move the stop/reload button out of the address bar. It'll probably take a few recharge cycles to judge whether battery life has truly improved, but so far it looks promising even with the quick dissolves exiting most apps.

**Kerti#AC** · 06-03-2011, 12:56 PM

Work's perfect with me. My phone run's much smoother, and I've noticed my battery isn't diminishing as fast. Much better than Froyo.

**its_miller_time** · 06-03-2011, 12:58 PM

With regard to the survey response selection, a "Too early to tell" would have been a good choice!

are you talking about the PIN pad lock? i wish they got rid of the "OK/Enter" requirement after entering the PIN.

Where is the new GB keyboard? I still have the Touch Input that I have always had.

You probably won't get it unless you find a stock GB keyboard apk to flash.

I don't remember HTC ever giving the EVO the stock android keyboard. I usually switch between the HTC_IME MOD (no arrows and programmable long press time) and Swype.

I thought that it was part of the update?
