We had already warned of the impending upgrade of the Samsung Galaxy S to the latest version of the operating system from Google for mobile, Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Although the updating of the platform was announced for the middle of March, a leak has bypassed the intermediaries, and makes it possible for the most crafty users to install this edition of the system thanks to the ROM that has been made available to who wants to use it on the Internet.
It is an unofficial version that can be installed on the Korean manufacturer's still star mobile. It equips Samsung's native interface for Android mobiles, the TouchWiz, so that at the level of design and icons the appearance of Gingerbread is very similar to that of Eclair and FroYo. In addition, it is a beta of the system, which although it is functional for users who wish to download it.
As usual, it is the guys from XDA Developers who make the necessary tools and files available to users to be able to manually update the Samsung Galaxy S system to Android 2.3. As we have seen in previous processes, the operation is carried out with the Odin desktop application, which we can only use from a Windows-based computer.
You will already know that Android 2.3 Gingerbread has undergone more than one touch-up since its presentation, in the middle of last December. The incidents in some of its functions registered in the Google Nexus S have forced the Mountain View developers to modify the platform on some occasions, so the version of the ROM that has been leaked arrives in its Android 2.3.2 edition.
