First Gingerbread ROMs for Original DROID Released

The first Gingerbread ROMs for the original Droid are starting to pop up and for the most part, people are super excited about the performance they’ve seen while running them.  These are first attempts though and they lack ALL Google Apps, so you won’t get the full experience, but so far, people have nothing but great things to say.  In fact, most people would switch to these immediately should they actually include any of the GApps.
