T-mobile myTouch4G gets Gingerbread update

by 635 comments

The boffins over at XDA Developers have done it again. Their latest present comes in the form of an Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread update for T-mobile’s myTouch4G. This US-only handset hit the stores running Froyo and it hasn’t been updated since.

This update is an unofficial release based on a leak, courtesy of JoelZ9614 and faux123 on the XDA forums. So the good news is that even if you decide to skip it, T-mobile is probably going to make an official release in the near future.

So what do you actually get with myTouch flavoured Gingerbread? For a start the notifications drop-down panel now comes with a ‘Quick Settings’ tab that allows you to switch all your favorite connectivity options (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Hotspot, GPS and Mobile Network) ‘on’ and ‘off’ rather than needing a widget on one of your home screens, handy. Other than that the improvements and additions must be going on behind-the-scenes because there’s not a whole lot left to talk about.

If you want to get the update for yourself, 911HTC sniper blog have got a nice little package waiting to flash here, but be aware as usual, it’s best to know what your doing and always back everything up! Android Central have in fact made a video so you can see the changes without the risk of confusing you own myTouch, check it out.
