From the iDroid Project's Site: (http://www.idroidproject.org/forum/announcements/idroid-11-04-pepparkaka-release-announcement-2058/)

This is the iDroid Project's third release of Android Gingerbread for iDevices, built from the community source code repos at http://www.github.com/iDroid-Project

This release is for iPhone 2G,  iPhone 3G & iPod Touch 1G and is available as a binary package or via Bootlace.

Special thanks go to ddominator for his persistence & help with libsensors testing.

IF YOUR DEVICE IS NOT STATED ABOVE THEN IT IS NOT SUPPORTED - WE DO NOT HAVE ETA'S ON OTHER PORTS AT THE MOMENT.

You DO NOT need a new version of OpeniBoot to boot this - If your openiboot install is capable of booting later MoJo releases, then it will be able to boot this

Changelog

Kernel Changes
  • New Accelerometer driver from Intel (iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 1G) [nickp666]
  • Preliminary Ambient light sensor support - No support in Android yet but working at kernel level (iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 1G) [nickp666]
  • New SPI based Zephyr2 Multitouch driver (iPhone 3G) [ricky26] - iPod Touch 1G missed out because ricky loves to forget it exists - I'll fix this myself, but not before this release
  • Preliminary PMU suspend support - Fixes iPhone 3G audio popping issue (doesnt add much to battery life at this point) [ricky26]
  • Minor kernel configuration optimisation (iPod Touch 1G and iPhone 2G) [nickp666]
Android Changes
  • All repos updated in line with upstream, thus we are now running Android 2.3.3 [nickp666]
  • New libsensors which presently adds Accelerometer support - this will be expanded later to support the Ambient light sensor, I just ran out of time. [nickp666 & ddominator]
  • Tweaked keyboard animation values [ddominator]
  • Various un-noteworthy updates and changes to external projects

NOTE: Launcher2 (The standard Android launcher) DOES NOT SUPPORT ROTATION, so dont moan that the accelerometer doesnt work if thats your test* :P

The system menus only also rotate in 2 directions, not 3, so holding your phone upside down will not yield the correct angle* :P
*Above points verified by running ezGingerbread on my G1
