When it comes to updates, we all know that those have been a plague on Android devices. Some might get there eventually, but that’s not much of a promise considering that you are coughing up quite a lot of cash to see your device get left behind in the update arms race. However, there is always the custom ROM alternative, yet this time around we are dealing with the real deal. The HTC Droid Incredible is finally getting its Android 2.3 Gingerbread update going and the fine folk over at Android Central set up a quick guide for the manual download of the update.
After the first announcement according to which the manufacturer won’t release the HTC Droid Incredible Android 2.3 Gingerbread update and the later announcement according to which the Droid Incredible will enjoy the Gingerbread goodness after all, we finally got it out and running!
The HTC Droid Incredible Android 2.3 Gingerbread update brings a ton of improvements.
