If we know you, and we think we do, you’re not the kind of person that wants to wait two weeks to get Gingerbread (Android 2.3) on their Nexus device. Neither are we. Thankfully, the gang over at XDA-developers have posted two, Android 2.3.3 download links — one for the Nexus S and one for the Nexus One — for those looking to force-feed Google’s latest and greatest code-base onto their device. Hit up the read link to venture on over to the XDA forums for further instructions… and enjoy your dessert.

      There are awesome people there. Have thick skin though, because you will get trashed if you didn’t enter every possible word combination into their sub-par search, and post a thread that someone has addressed on page 137 of some random thread.

    Well, before you start patting them on the should you should realize this 2.3.3 update has some serious issues such the 2.3.3 update converts the AMOLED screen to a SLCD screen and the colors seem VERY washed out…. Plus it does not address the re-boot issue that is the main complaint…

      You’re an idiot. SLCD and AMOLED are physical types of screens. No software can change that. Also, the reboot issue IS fixed for the Nexus S.

        Actually, Shmuk is right. I installed it a couple of hours ago and my colors are off. It may not have reverted to SLCD but it’s definitely sub-par. I’ve got to figure out how to uninstall it and just wait the two weeks like the rest of us schmucks.

        These updates were pulled directly from the Google website, so even if you revert back (XDA has all the older ROMs on the N1 wiki), you’ll get the same exact build via OTA.

        And I report no change on my screen colors, then again, I have the N1 and not the NS

        My screen on my Nexus One actually looks sharper or more vibrant since updating. Don’t know what you are describing.

        I’m not very educated on the subject, but something is different about how firmware is written. Stock on my AMOLED incredible Display never eats up more than 10% usually around 4-7%. When I flash like an Evo ROM Display usage goes up to like 60-70%. Maybe it has to do with Black being displayed on LCD as opposed to being dead on AMOLED?
