or do a cupcake with avril lavigne.. ehm.. i know somethings to do with avril lavigne

Among the most treasured of additional features is the on-screen keyboard the G1 is so desperately needing at the moment.

I mean, it'll be nice to have.. but why is THIS, among all the things in Cupcake is the thing the "G1 is so desperately needing" ?
I have a perfectly good keyboard on my G1.
I would say video recording and stereo bluetooth are 'needed' before an onscreen keyboard..

Or just stereo bluethooth

@nolageek, the hardware keyboard i really great and beats all kinds of software keyboards for long texting, but sometimes a on-screen keyboard could be much more practical. I hate it to open the keyboard to enter 2 or 3 letters!

Woot!

finally the update we've been looking for !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wonder how behind the UK update will be! lol
Sounds good though! Can't wait.

The magic gets released by vodafone in the UK in April, so if there isn't a release for the G1 by then someone will be able to make one since all the regional changes will have been made.

cupcake coming in avril huh? how about me coming in avril.
haha back to the point....i agree with MoridinBG, too much effort to open keyboard just to type a few letters. shows how lazy we are haha

Exactly how will this work if Im an AT&T Customer? Will google send the OTA Update to my phone??? I've always kind of wondered about that.
I have an ADP

Ehh, your provider does not matter..
i'm using a german blau.de karte (eplus, not t-mobile) and i've got the OTA update!
but the cupcake from t-mobile won't be send to yours, cuz it's an ADP phone! u will have to wait for a new adp firmware i think..

T-Mobile confirmed that it will release its firmware “Cupcake” update

I posted this only because it is the first time i have actually seen someone using a "TMOBILE Spokesperson" as a reference. And when at least 4 major sites are reporting the same thing, it seems more credible than Googleandblog. Not to mention the moderator of this forum edited my subject and added their own post on this.

Blurtooth Hack Needed!!!!

Hi.
I would appreciate it if some one could make a bluetooth hack that can make G1 share files between mobile phones i am even willing to pay for it.
It is very annoying that i can't share stuff between friends.
If it is impossible then please let me know.
Thanks.
It will be part of the upcoming update, so doubt anyone is going to try and write software to do it.

Hell, just having all the BT functionality of almost any phone on the market would be great!
My Motorola BT earphones are getting dusty and it makes me sad
I messed with the cupcake add to the sdk emulator and I didn't see any changes to BT......

I had tried the cupcake not the JF but the 1.5 firmware cupcake i had got from somewhere on my G1 still dint find any video recording and bluetooth functionality also it had no telephony stuff but the browser had touch keypad + no multi touch, no auto-rotate...
just it has touch keypad improvement if this is what they have made still now they have to work a lot n it would delay the cupcake update...

They have made tons of progress, I have seen video recording, and everything but bluetooth works out of the box really once it is compiled. And it will have A2DP and AVCHP but I am not sure about OBEX and PUSH
Bluetooth??
Can somebody say/send me a program for bluetooth to send and recive mp3´s or photos????

Well the so called cupcake Update with the features u r on about has not been released yet so the only question to be asked is "why would u install some thing u don't know where came from"?
But most likely it's proberly just a minor update from cupcake and has nothing to do with the one every one is talking about "i doubt u would be the only one to have the real update".
And what goes for the touchpad is proberly just one of the many apps from the market with touchpad funktion.
But then again i could be wrong.
i have actually given up on google/T-mob ever releasing cupcake- i am now relying on independant developers to enhance this phone. too many rumours and too many disappointments..... same with paid apps from the market....
Without A2DP it will never be my one and only phone- i use A2DP in the gym and hate wired headphones..... until then my trinity will not be retired.....

For what it's worth, google delivered on their cupcake promise. They said they would merge their internal development branch into the public git by mid-January. They actually did it at the end of December. That's pretty good if you ask me.
The whole "t-mobile will release a cupcake update" thing is just rumor and speculation.
As to the paid apps in the market, I'm confident it will be coming out soon, possibly very soon, for better or for worse.
I wouldn't expect anything from the cupcake branch for a few months at least (although that's purely speculation on my part )

A2DP is my biggest issue. I listen to music while I work. replaced my 2 year old phone that had A2DP capability for the G1 not knowing it didn't support this. Don't get me wrong I LOVE this phone and with my new extended battery this thing does it all....well everything but my beautiful music while I work....Sobs!

Where did the speculation that cupcake would be released Q1 2009 come from? Did someone make this up?
Q1 is what google has been saying or rather the developers that work at google have been saying. Q1 would be sometime from Jan 1 - March 31.

Can't have it all I guess? (Not really a rant thread)

Hello xda-ers!
I have been stalking around, tasting everybody's cooking for a couple of weeks now, and i have got to get something off my chest.
I did search, I do realize that what I am looking for can not be made and that its no one's fault (I might be giving htc a meaningful look right now).
I like a whole lot of roms and chefs here, I really do, but the rom I'm after seems to not exist - one of two options:
1. A hero rom with all the eyecandy, that's donut based for compatibility with newer apps like goggles and the like.
2. An Eclair rom that has video and youtube working.
And so I would like to ask of you wizzies, is there light at the end of the tunnel? Are things comming around? How do you see it?
Correct me if I'm wrong, hardware-ish the mytouch is 36 MB of ram shorter then a hero and a has a lesser camera, but its not like the hero is running its os on its last bits of ram or anything so basically what the hero can do the mytouch can do, no? Is it safe to assume that when the hero\magic gets an update (and I do hope that it does) someone could pull over some driver support for eclair or something?
Thank you all so much for all your hard work, you guys are the reason I love smartphones so much, I'm dirt poor but i promise I'll buy you guys a round of beer once I get out of college
Its a matter of time bro. Be batient. A month ago, none of the eclair roms had camera. Now they all do. A month before that none of the eclair roms had N1 voice keyboard. Now they all do. God knows what some of these amazing roms will have and do a month from now. [/good deed for the year]
Love the FAQ sig lol

1. The devs aren't the ones making the actual hero, they just make hero work with our phones. They can't just say "I want you to be donut", and it be donut. Htc decided to skip donut, and the devs can't do much about that. They can however give you 2.0 hero which is scattered about the forum.
2. Drivers, drivers, drivers. You know, the thing that appears in almost every first post for this problem

As I've said, I realize that.
My point is that apperently you can't cook rosie\sense\whatever onto a 1.6 rom without htc (Ref: "I might be giving HTC a meaningful look") and at the same time you can cook it onto a 2.0 rom - which means broken video drivers.
I'm sure there's a good reason for it, and this is not a rant, just needed to let steam out I guess.

"if" you had searched you could have found answers to both of your questions... and maybe posted in the correct section.
maybe that "I might be giving HTC a meaningful look" should be turned into "i actually searched and posted in the Q&A section or the I didn't read before posting..."
No offence but seriously if you would have searched you would have found those 2 answers in almost every thread that had to do with hero or eclair...

I think someone leaked an HTC branded Eclair ROM with the "rosie/sense/whatever," and that's why you see it cooked into a 2.0 ROM.

It went off topic at the same rate the iPad went from wanted to ridiculed. What's so bad about that?
Well back on topic/kinda...
Do we know for sure that htc will release the necessary drivers for video playback/camera? It sounds like some people are positive we'll get them eventually...I switched back to donut because I like being able to watch youtube, but its amazing how far along eclair roms have come, and mad props to NCommander for reverse engineering the camera drivers. Without him we'd still have no camera at this point. But I was just wondering if its confirmed or not that we will indeed get those drivers from htc one day.
Well, T-Mobile is teasing us with an Eclair update for our phones. We shall see.
What I would REALLY like is a ROM that is smooth and as responsive and the one on the iPhone. Doesn't need fancy apps, just the basic things like Messaging, Phone, Browser, camera/camcorder, apps of course. Anyone else think the same? It's what I have been looking for , for a long time

There's actually one like that, it's called iPhone OS. I suggest you buy an iPhone and try it

Got a X10

Just got an X10, i've been using Legend for some days now (im in the business, as you might imagine)
The first thing that struck me: the keyboard... It doesn't register all key presses, compared to the Legend, it's really frustrating to writing on X10.
I've been happy with the speed on Legend, and thought that X10 would be even more blazing fast. But it isn't. Actually, its slower (!) I tried install Raging Thunder II on both phones, and it's running more smooth on the Legend.
X10 have way better hardware, but an older OS. Don't know how much this has to do with the fact that X10 seems slower than the Legend.
Would be interesting if the Desire ROM could be installed on X10
For now, I feel that HTC has done a way better job, customizing Android on a phone, and i'm gonna stick to Legend as my primary phone. But gonna use X10 for some weeks with twin simcard. Just want to test it properly
Try SmartKeyboardPro on X10. Must better that Standart Keyboard.
Try Asphalt 5 on X10 to see whats a good game
What compilation do you have? IE, your firmware.
Where did you get the X10? are you in the UK?

The screen is really nice. big and high res.
I don't mean, and try to be negative about X10. Guess I really was a bit surprised that i found Legend (low cost Android compared to X10) to be a better phone.. for now.. It might just be that Android 2.1 runs way better. I don't know.. But ok. i'll be fair. Going to update this post in a few days, gonna use them both for a few weeks
did you purchase it from an online store or did you get it from a business or something?
My delayed X10 arrives tommorow...
Ive also used the Legend since it came, and love it!!!
However, its the X10 I was looking forward too....
So, Ill give it the easter vacation to make a decition on what phone to keep...
Probabely both....
it comes with android 2.0 right? or is it 1.6?

Multi-touch zoom will not work in Dolphin, or any other software. SE have confirmed that the X10 lacks any kind of hardware multi-touch support. No hardware, means no support. Period.

Google releases Froyo update for Nexus Ones, open-sources code (from GSM Arena)

Lucky Nexus One bustards
As owners for X10, are we eligible for this update??
-----------------------------
Google is also celebrating today - Android 2.2 Froyo has reached two important milestones. Google open sourced the latest version and they are pushing out the final Froyo update to Nexus One users. And we're sure the timing has nothing to do with the launch of the iPhone 4.
Sure, Froyo has been available to Nexus One users for a while (mostly on dev phones and through manual updates), but this seems to be the final, official version of Android 2.2. You could manually download the update from here (it works only if you're running FRF50 firmware), though if you don't know what you're doing, you should wait for the OTA update.
Your Nexus One should automatically check for updates or you could force a check (go to Settings -> About phone -> System updates), so one way or another you should be getting a notification that a new version is available and download it Over-the-Air.
Some people are reporting that the update is not available for them yet, so it might not work right away - rolling out updates is a gradual process and it varies by location too.
The other important milestone for Android 2.2 Froyo is that Google open-sourced the code to their partners and manufacturers and everyone else too. This means that they can start working on Froyo firmwares for the non-Google phones.
------------------------------------------
Can we have official feedback from SE guys?

Well the Nexus One is a Google brand phone so it's no huge surprise that the Nexus gets it first. It'd be more suprising if it didn't.

Totally agree with you, but I believe SE should consider updating us (X10 users) to the 2.2 not 2.1

The way I see it with Android devices is that you buy the hardware and then hack the software to hell and back. Just didn't count on the X10 being so hard to mod when I got it, guess I'm too used to HTC phones.

I understand that 'root' has been achieved, but won't there be further delays until a stable custom Rom is created for the x10?

Oh yes, it will take anywhere from a short while to a very long time afterwards. Getting root is just one step of the way.

Thought as much. From the posts on other threads it seems as though posters think root and ROM will appear simultaneously.
I can imagine that the first ROMs we'll get our hands on will have all sorts of bugs, and we'll have to compromise on things like WiFi, Bluetooth e.t.c. Maybe due to lack of drivers available.
I'm going on past experience from The G1 and old WinMo devices.
Oh well.......
Remember to be realistic, guys. The devs can't just copy and paste Froyo onto our X10s without a hitch. It will take some time. I'm not even anticipating a stable version of Froyo on the X10 because it is a huge task.
What I'd like to see is the latest FW but stripped down with no branding or operator software (and no Moxier crap!!!). And if it's possible, for Flash to be released on the X10. That may not be feasible but I certainly hope it's available. SE takes forever!!

Remember to be realistic, guys. The devs can't just copy and paste Froyo onto our X10s without a hitch. It will take some time. I'm not even anticipating a stable version of Froyo on the X10 because it is a huge task.
What I'd like to see is the latest FW but stripped down with no branding or operator software (and no Moxier crap!!!). And if it's possible, for Flash to be released on the X10. That may not be feasible but I certainly hope it's available. SE takes forever!!

As i said, and I'll say it again..
DO NOT INSTALL THIS UPDATE IF YOU NEED ROOT IN A FUTURE!
Why???!
I am one of those crazy ones who does not care about root. I did it once, and removed it. Call me crazy.
Installing now ...
PS what I mean, most people on this board would know this, and will have read your other posts about the subject.
On top, I am sure some genius will hack this one also and we can root it. It will just take a while longer.

Oh I tell you, I was crazy once... didn't care about the root. Just wanted Android 2.1. I wanted it now. But then, in a moment of enlightenment, I listened to shadow_fi. And when HTC announced that there will be no further updates past 2.1 to Hero (at least CDMA, but I guess it applies to every other Hero), it was obvious that we shall not go down that evil OTA path... and so I flashed VillainROM 10.3.2 and hence my Hero will live happily ever after.
Just spoke with HTC Support and they said Orange and 3 OTA is delayed but by how much they would not say

That is becoming less and less likely with more people moving to other devices, if you flash this 2.1 chances are you will never be able to try new things like a froyo release
There is already a thread ** Official 2.1 UK UPDATE Thread ** .
Keep posts in the same area regards to this update then everyone can find it.
