Good news for those who want Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread on EVO 4G. The official Gingerbread for HTC EVO 4G has leaked and is now available for download. As with every leak, it lacks some features. Here’s a brief list of what works and what doesn’t, according to quocamole:

some quick initial impressions:
good:
-2.3.3!
-one of the smoothest, fastest sense roms out of the box i’ve ran (for you benchers, i’m getting around 37 on linpack)
- no issues with brightness settings (hw003, not sure about screen)
- browsing feels faster and smoother
- some menu fonts are smaller
- some hints of gingerbread (notification icons)
- swype has a cursor similar to gb keyboard
bad:
- camcorder closes when recording in h.264
- no epst
- sense 1.0, but i run lp anyway
think i’m going to run it for a few days. can’t wait to see what the great evo 4g devs will do with this one.
edit: forgot one of the best goods – gb battery status rocks!
