MicroMod777 Gingerbread ROM for Google Nexus One
While I was browsing through the Google Nexus One XDA development section today looking for the latest Gingerbread ROMs to see what was available, the latest release from MicroMod777 caught my eye, the reason being the frequency at which he is releasing updates. It’s all very well having ROMs built on the latest and greatest Android OS release, but if it doesn’t get supported and worked on, it can get frustrating. This is even more true when we’re talking about cutting edge early releases such as Gingerbread or Android 2.3. There are other Gingerbread ROMs available so be sure to go and check out all the forums for your phones and make sure you read the threads thoroughly before flashing these early release ROMs. Cyanogen’s CM7 will be the next one for me to test.
MicroMod777 has been making updates and posting new releases almost on a daily basis, and from what I’ve seen, it seems to work very well. It appears that this ROM is based on the Gingerbread AOSP compiled by Chris Soyars with parts from the CyanogenMOD source.
This is by no means a full review of the ROM, but I hope it gives you a quick look at Gingerbread and a fully working version of Gingerbread for the Google Nexus One while we wait for the official OTA update to hit.
Are you running Gingerbread yet? What do you think?

For me it has been a very stable & feature rich rom so far. Its an amazing bit of work.
Glad to hear! I need to keep an eye on this one and do some more testing.
Its definitely worth sticking with. My Nexus One isn’t my primary phone any more (thanks to the nexus s) bit the additions of cachesd and apps2sd has really given my N1 a new lease of life with some Gingerbread love.
The quadrant issue is gingerbread related i believe too as it has issues running on the Nexus S. Good thing is, all of my openGL games run flawlessly and benchmarking using Nenamark it gets an extra fps or two during the benchmark. Can’t be bad!
Any forecast for MicroMod 777 scheduled for porting to HTC EVO and/or HD2?
Happy New Year, y’all, from Houston!
Very nice ROM, been using it from the beginning. Glad to see MicroMod getting credit he has done a great job on all three of his ROMs Froyo, Desire HD, and Gingerbread.
I’ve actually been using this since v14 and i’ve been really impressed. i’m normally a cyanogenmod guy but he’s still working on a stable CM7. so until then, this is well worth a try. Might actually stick with it even after CM7. GREAT WORK DEVS
Just need to fix orientation and video drivers and it would be complete!
Simon, HOW did you name your wi-fi network Andorra?? I’ve had this name since about 2007 on my router, totally random, no connection with this tiny nation whatsoever.
BTW, I’m enjoying MM777 GB since his first try – and currently using .16 – managed to get maps rotation going thanks to the XDA crowd.
Waiting for video fix and trackball wake.
Other than that – excellent work MM!
