Samsung Galaxy S i9000: Download Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread Update Now

Yesterday we informed you that a Gingerbread build had leaked out for the Motorola Droid 2 and Droid X handsets, but now we have some good news for those of you in possession of the Samsung Galaxy S, with the i9000 model number.

A new Gingerbread ROM has just been released for the Galaxy S too, and it appears to have once again surfaced from the guys over at XDA Developers Forums. From what we gather, this ROM is an official version of Gingerbread, Android 2.3.3 which Samsung are planning to bring to Europe in the coming months, as reported from Phandroid.

You can enjoy it right now of course, if you’re willing to give the download a go. If you’re interested, head to the XDA Forums here, download the ROM and follow the installation instructions. However, make sure you know what you’re doing as we won’t be responsible for any bricked devices. Judging by the feedback though, this build works perfectly so there is no reason why you shouldn’t try it.

Do you already have an unofficial version of Gingerbread running on your Galaxy S? If so, will you attempt to install this latest 2.3.3 version or wait until Samsung release it properly?

I got awfully tired of Kies withholding new os's. Went out on a limb and cooked my own Froyo 2.2.1 ROM using docs ROM Builder from xdadevelopers. The phone now works perfectly. It used to have memory slowdowns with Kies released 2.1 and 2.2, now it slows for no man. terrific device now.

  Hi cobra66. I just got my Galaxy S. It still has 2.1-update1 (sticky sometimes). You make it sound so simple. I don't have a clue how to get a later version. Please please please give me clear guidance how to do the update.

1.while booting up instead of showing galaxy s gt i9000, watermark comes
2.less free ram
3.not compatible with 3g
4.no voodoo lagfix—benchmark-only 954
5.cant deodex–may be i am at fault but i deodexed 2.2.1 xxjpy much easily.

Any update on stability and compatibility? I'm looking forward to upgrading to GB but I'm still hesitant.. Mainly because I've bought my Galaxy S last saturday and don't really like to void warranty, as you'd imagine!

I have 2.3.3 know for a few days and i must say it is very stable somethimes ther is some lag and it isn't verry fast on the web so i hope this isn't the original version .further the battery is good know for over 20 houres and i am non stop on my galaxy s so overall its a good rom the best one android have sent out……sorry for my bad english

I have 2.3.3 know for over a week and the only prob I have come across is the standard Music player crashers half way into a song, Third party Music players work fine though..
