what's up everyone jon rettinger from TechnoBuffalo here there have been rumors of an over-the-air update for the droid x2 gingerbread verizon has denied that it is coming but what appears to be the official or going to be official gingerbread update to the droid x is readily available to download and install on your droid x without any routing the folks over at droid x forums all the instructions are going to be down below have made it idiot proof proof positive i actually did it here very very simply this gives you gingerbread it gives you the updated version of motoblur which is really welcome so if you want to check it out I'll linked your down below let me walk you through very quickly about what you can expect on gingerbread on your droid x so first finally we've gotten rid of these cartoonish colors the droid x didn't have it but motoblur definitely had we've got sort of a new launcher at the bottom you can put new icons in here if you'd like but you can only have four short that looks like if you hold it down you can go ahead and drop it down there if you would like so let me go ahead and show you that this is indeed running Gingerbread and it is running two point three point three you can see right there menu system is now white you get this sort of gingerbread look when you scroll to the bottom it's not orange you get that sort of blue color hopefully that's picking up on camera when it gets to the very top so go ahead and hit home there's a lot of other gingerbread e things that you might want to see he hit the home button you're going to get your panel of icons they can't be rearranged but they are there if you want to jump 21 you've got that option for me again the most welcome feature definitely is this new launcher across the bottom really was not a fan of the way motoblur had it you now have better use of the screen real estate the application drawer lives on the right-hand side go ahead and select an icon that's the one actually that you can't change so you really only have three they can customize at the bottom here's what the application door it looks like go ahead and go into recent let's go ahead and select that and you now can jump into groups this is sort of a gingerbread thing but you can see it here in effect let's go ahead and get out of there let's go into all apps as you can see if anything new is here things look to be generally same this is very zippy there you can see a little blue at the bottom hopefully I updated this yesterday I've notice a huge increase in speed is quite nice other gingerbread II things that you're going to see we now have the app manager you can manage your applications you also have profiles which is kind of neat this is something that the motorolas doing really it's pretty standard stuff homework weekend you can go ahead and customize it any way you want we'll go ahead and select work takes a minute and just a blank slate you customize the background if you like take a quick look at dem widgets so go into motorola which I pretty standard stuff things we've seen in the past that really redone any of the widgets unfortunately but at least you don't have to use them if you don't want to and finally this new dock crossed the bottom so this has been a real quick sneak preview of what you can expect when you get gingerbread on your droid x all the instructions again are down below if you want to give it a shot it is unofficial just as a disclaimer so if you do want to do it be wary that you might have some warranty issues if you got to go back to verizon I'd only do this if you own the phone and you're comfortable restoring back to your original operating system should the need arise i'm jon rettinger from technobuffalo and i'll see you in the next video you
