After months of waiting, we have finally been rewarded with a upgrade to Gingerbread! The only information I could gather so far is through a reply to my post on the LG Forum. The current news it that it will be coming FOTA (Over The Air) starting Oct 27, and everyone should have it by Nov. 2. This is very promising!
Edit: it will be available at 9:00pm ET on Oct 28
Here is the link confirming it!

AWESOME!!!
NICE!! I am a little new to how this works...since revolt ROM "cancels" the update how do we go about getting it? Or do we just wait till someone makes a ROM based off of it?

I haven't seen anything else hinting about a update tomorrow either. I'm thinking it is legit though because it came from the official LG forum.
Here is another post saying basically the same thing....
http://www.lgforum.com/forum/boards...get-gingerbread-starting-10-slash-28-slash-11
After hearing the news I asked about it on Verizon's support Twitter they replied back to me and said they haven't received word about the update for this phone.

And then you completely contradicted yourself in your post. *facepalm*
Every day, someone out there gets a text from ATT saying there is an update for their phone and feels the need to post about it. Why? Because we're not running the build that they expect us to, so they think we need to update.
Move along, nothing to see here. This should be moved to general or better yet, deleted for redundancy.

actually i got the message last night as well, and so did a lot of people i know....even though he did contradict his self with the title, AT&T still is sending out msgs to everyone
I tried the software Update -->> Check for Update
I tried the Check for Update today Dec 1st at 3pm EST and nothing... no updates from AT&T for my Captivate.
I have my Captivate still with the Stock 2.1 ROM, all I did was to root. I hope this will not stop or gives me problems with the Froyo 2.2 upgrade.
Does anyone have any good news yet ? any one ?
Thanks...
5$ says it's barely different from the froyo we have now. Hopefully they fixed the call buttons on the notification bar
Will check when I get hope but I had heard because of the problems with last OTA that 2.2 would be available through KIES mini.

I want to just share with everyone, new and old here, that Thecube has been working very hard on creating a stable Rom for our beloved phone. I have seen some impressive things on youtube, search: Tylerfixer. I honestly am going to be paying for this Rom when it comes, and I would like to suggest that you do too as well. This will help to purchase items to test, bluetooth etc. It will help "pay" him for his time spent on this project. I just know he has worked very hard to produce this, and make it right. I know I appreciate it.
Thank you very much, for your hard work, Sir

While I fully agree, I don't think we'll be seeing a Decrap 2. Cubed is working on a CM7 release, and that will probably be the biggest thing to hit this phone since 4g.

Decrap 2 will come, but it's on hold for a few weeks since I no longer have service on my dev phone, and cm7 is a HUGE milestone to achieve for this phone.
Decrap 2 (actually, 1.2) will contain by default:
* Less crap!
* Gingerbread theme
* Fixed Gingerbread keyboard (with working dictionary)
* ...and a wifi tethering app that actually works!
The timeline is pretty much going to depend on when I get a public release of CM7 out. Once I get that out, I'm sure I'll have the support of a much larger base of developers to lend me a hand since I'm just one guy
Also, thanks y'all for all the nice comments and compliments
It's real fun getting to develop for such a kind community!

Cube,
I am noob Running LGVS910 4g that has been rooted (thanks to all the posts on this site) enough said. where do I download decrap and do you have an update on CM7 on the revo
Decrapped is very, very old... Cubed doesn't frequent the forums and CM7 is on hold until we here otherwise from cubed. Also, if you flashed decrapped you would lose your radio (assuming you are on gingerbread and not somehow still on V4)
From what I read Decrap 1.0-1.1 is the same as Revolt 1.0-1.5 and GingerVolt 1.0-1.2 is base on Revolt.
Only difference is Decrap is made by thecube then mtmichealson took over to update to Revolt then GingerVolt
If you're on GingerBread, just flash GingerVolt 1.2
SuperCharged GingerVolt B-) R U?

I'm thinking of letting mtmichaelson take over the 2.2.X roms, while I focus on 2.3.4 (cm7).
For now, decrap2 is going on "semi-permanent" hold, since Revolt Rom is pretty much what decrap2 was going to be

Someone did send him one and if you look under the broken out thread in development you will see that he has some people test a new version. I'm thinking it will come in the next week or so.
I'm looking for anyway to speed up my brokenout rom
Based on the feedback from others on here...is it even worth taking the time to upgrade and re-root? I'm liking the broken out rom on zv8 and without any big breakthroughs coming with zv9 it seems silly to update. Like they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
