Gingerbread for Droid Eris Near Completion

If you happen to have a rooted Droid Eris, pay attention. Although this is still not a fully completed port of Gingerbread, it is pretty darn close. People that have tested this port out are reporting that it is pretty fast and stable. Some are even claiming that it will work just fine as a daily driver. Of course that is all up to interpretation. Here is what is working in the current version:

Working OpenGL
Wifi
Bluetooth
In-call microphone
Audio
Notification Lights
Sensors working(Ambient, rotation, etc)
Data/Radio

The developer states there are still some hiccups with gapps but does provide a download link in the thread to a set that does seem to function well.

It seems as though these developers get better and better every day. I don’t know what we would do with out these guys. If you are interested in giving this latest build by punk.kaos a try, head on over to the KaosGingerbread V6 developer page at xda-developers. Read through the list and give it a go. As always, let us know how it works for you.
