I have followed instruction on http://source.android.com/documentation/building-for-dream
and build the software for G1/ADP1. After flash the system.img,
userdata.img and boot.img to my G1, the phone will come up. However,
if you do adb logcat, you can see a lot of message being printed out
and phone will reboot without doing anything. It is not very stable
and it is difficult to do real development work based on the current
code in repository.
I then tried to build based on release 1.0. However, the build will
fail in variety of places. I then compared the file that I downloaded around week of Dec. 15 and found out that there are differences in hardware/msm7k and few other places. I try to glue them together to have the code built and so far i haven’t been successful. Is there a way to have the three projects needed in building-for-dream to build with release-1.0? My goal is to build code that is stable.
Then, based on that, I can make progress on my own goal.

Ok ok some one knows when tha update is release it. And I don’t think is gonna be a G2 so soon because the updates are comming in these month and that looks so cool, well I just wanna know what day is the new updates are comming for the G1 thanks

i just want to know when can I video record.

Well well well Project cupcake huh?It sounds good!Would make the G1 a must have device!Unfortunately it seems that no 1 has a a clue as far as this new rumored updates concerned?Would be nice if I had a precise date!I’ve had this Phone since its realease and honestly I easily get bored hell I’ve had over 6 phones before I had this one including the Behold Which is NICE since It has more megapixels and VIDEO you know the BASICS Well hopefully this is true Ill wait till the end of this month 2 c what’s up with this update Hopefully the g1 gets a lil more interesting I’m tired of the apps in android market the mayority are just pointless 10|4

Do any of you really have the update?

If so, are you in the US? I am in the UK so expect it to take longer for it to be released here.

Abel2fresh4u – is your spelling serious? You should donwload a vocabulary app and get practicing!

so how about that update? has anyone got it yet?

Does anyone know at exactly what time the updates supposed to come?? And woud you know whe you get it?? I’m confused….

I still confuzzled! How do you update your phone? Mines in firmware 1.0, does it updated by itself? Do I need something? I got my phone on Holloween.

check your version and see if there is an update available.

http://www.mysciphoneshop.com/sciphone-g2-dream-android-with-google-p-21.html. check this opuit if u don’t believe me

Ya I just checked and it says something like RC30, but Im just asking because when the cupcked update comes out I want to know what to do. Does the phone update itself? If not how do I update it?

Ya I just checked and it says something like RC30, but Im just asking because when the cupcked update comes out I want to know what to do.

when i got my phone (November 18th), it did not have the RC30 update. about a day after i activated my phone, i was walking out of work and all of a sudden a little notification popped up on my screen, asking me if i wanted to install an update. i accepted, and it began automatically. im guessing if this whole “cupcake” BS is real (sucks that google/android wont even confirm…) then i assume it will be distributed the same way the RC30 was – over the air

k thanks, I remember know too, When I got my phone and the day after it said there was an update.

Dis must be a scam…the header even spelt update wrong,, some ppl saying they got it but can’t prove it

how much is this gonna cost?

free!

im confused because people say they have it but no proof , anyone have it cause i have not got it and obiously most people havnt

some believe the cupcake will come end of january.. i supposed to be out already

Sometimes I wonder if Google bit off more than they can chew. Nothing seems to be on time. I am waiting for the video recorder as well.

Best thoughts, Matt

Google never gave an actual date for realease so it can come anytime , cupcake is a major update and they have to take a lot of time to make sure its bug free , so everyone just has to be patient and it will be here sooner than you know it

im using a unlocked g1 with AT&T, does anyone know how or if i will be able to get this cupcake update???

When does the cupcake come already? Will I just get a notification? Or do I have to o it manually?

Dude I just can’t wait for the video recorder everyone has a phone with video and I want it soo bad. Please tell me the date please

for the last time it is an over the air update meaning it will appear in your notification bar automatically

Bro seriously! Its already practically the end of the month and still no update!

T-Mobile still does not want to release the update.. but there is an emulator already on the web, check it out

When is the cupcake coming out

I hope the G1 Cupcake Update will fix the googlemap on the iphone. The phone just CANNOT locate your real/true position, whereas iPhone will do that. It puts your location couple of miles or streets away.

Also, how do we get the update. Will this be a public push to individual phones, or you have to sign another “Two year CONTRACT” with T-MOBILE to get the update?

Okay now, Its Jan 29,2009 and still no update!!!! Two days left for the month to end and we will still be waiting like dummies

*From G1* I think this whole “tease the public thing that T-Mobile is pulling is stupid. I have waited patiently for this the whole month. I mean, sure, we want a working release, but the wait is killing everyone. If they were not prepared, they should not have leaked it. And BTW, I would KILL T-Mobile if it was a Pay per OTA Update…

How can you blame T-Mobile for the delay?
They’re not the ones responsible for it, Android is.
All the dates that have been given we’re just predicted targets.
T-Mobile employees haven’t even been told about it, which I find ridiculous as its been leaked on the internet for 2 months.

And technically, the next G1 update is’nt “Cupcake”, It’s called RC-31 and It’s only going to include some of the features so all the “Cupcake” hype isn’t even going to be worth it.

http://www. googleandblog. com/android-g1-updates-of-mass-cupcakes/3632/

Because they are the ones releasing the ota dumb*** not google. Both are to blame! When did google get a wireless network? Oh wait they didn’t. I hate people!

Look the cupcake is coming be patient ppl and the cupcake comes with a virtual on screen keyboard adobe flashplayer video and save mms that’s all I’ve herd from a friend and all I know is the adobe flashplayer will forsure make the g1 the best phone out

Cupcake aint out yet! ppl say they have it are lying (loners looking for friends) cupcake may never come to G1 its all rumours at the moment but lets just wait and see… fingers crossed.

@Frank – turn the GPS feature ON then use Google Maps… it gets my location down to the T every time. maybe you have a defective phone?

@Betolicious – the RC-31 (or “Cupcake”) update definitely will NOT have adobe flash, and probably won’t have video recorder either… do your research

Just to let you guys know that the “cupcake” update will start being rolled out from the 9th of feb. (uk) not sure about the states

@ Ikibod
If they had the update to send OTA then they would have by now, Its Androids fault because they haven’t finished it yet and are fixing bugs and whatever.
T-Mobile’s only responsibility is to send the update when they have it.

How can you be so ignorant to keep blaming T-Mobile?
Incase you haven’t noticed, even they are sick and tired of everyone complaining and moaning to them about it so they set up a forum so you can cry about it.

Its ridiculous.

Wha the hell I thought it was supposed to be at the end of this month?!? This is like the 5th time it changes!!!!

Eerighht its january 31st nd still no updatee!! Geez

I think its fair to blame tmobile because they are well known to play games like this with updates. Just ask anyone with a sidekick/hiptop.

i was looking forward to the update today at least as well, we basically have a guinea pig product(G1) that is very lacking, i remember them calling this phone the supposed “iphone killer’, but this phone has killed itself, it leaves u wanting so much out of it because the power is there but the development team do not seem to know what to do with this phone. It is very tedious to use simple things like having to pop the keyboard out everytime u need to type and having the phone screen go dark whenever u are in a call. WTF T-mobile for putting out a trully untested product. Now who knows if this update will even be given to us G1 owners and not just developed for an obvious G2 that is already built since the G1 was an utter failure. Get with the prgram t-mobile, no wonder apple iphone is still waxing everyone’s butt.

So when is this cupcake coming out!!!! I’m hungly!!!!
Also go super bowl fans!

I just got off the phone with T-Mobile and the Rep told me that update is out as of today and that we will all have it by the end of this week….
AND NO THIS IS NOT BS

[...] like T-Mobile and HTC are giving us a new update for the T-Mobile G1. Unfortunately, this is not a cupcake. There are rumors about the cupcake is not going to be available for the G1 but it will be for [...]

yes a new update is comeing but not cupcake , the team working on the cupcake update released information far to soon they also have to wait for t-mobile to release certain codes for the update , so yes there is such thing as cupcake not made up but time for it to be released is x time

anyone have any idea as to how people with unlocked g1’s can get the update?

so let me get this straight i just spend hundreds of dollar on a G1 but now google and t-mobile are gonna just throw out some little update for it and call it over for the G1?N they gonna be woking on the g2…they better not release the g2 for at least another year wut a ripe off…for thoese G2 prospect buyer out their google and t-movbile might do the same to u guys! this will b the last google- phone il buy. what a disappointment…and a ripe off to the G1 supporter!

Alright so…this update is supposed to come out around Feb. moving from the Southwest to Northeast. So what Ive heard, these are the features g1 users like my self will be getting

Keybored (like the iphone 3g’s)
Video camera
Able to turn ur phone into a modem (rumor)
Multitouch (rumor)
Adobe Flash Player
and much much more

cupcake update may or may not be for G1 phone. it is a real update but they not speaking much about it.

everyone saying they got it are not telling the truth. Unless they have a developer g1 phone. they may be the first ones to get it…..I Just need better Apps

I think every one should just stop waiting for this update, I mean damn its not gon@ come any faster like this, oh ye if you just forget about it, it will get to you a lottt faster .

I got the update this morning , CUPCAKES taste Yummie video capture and the cam is working very clear and fast…. Thanks google and tmo….

hey dan? check if you have stereo bluetooth

This is quite irritating now;
Everyone who claim to have the now infamous “Cupcake” update are liars.
The only update that has been sent to a few people for testing is now called RC-33 which basically, sorts out the bugs.
Hopefully this will improve bluetooth because its appauling.

Feb 15th is now the next date given. I know that the G1 is in strong competition with the iPhone, but having voice search feature, simply because the iPhone has it is quite stupid. Also with the Labrinth game, it just seems like its trying to be the same, not different.
Shame.

http://androidcommunity.com/rc-33-update-on-its-way-no-cupcake-included-20090202/

when is the update actually coming to the U.K because ive been told many different dates so can somebody clarify this for me please

Cupcake update are not for the g1 it for the g2 we already finsh the g2 and its soon to be release for thoese who gonna buy the g1 and think that there b better update pleae jut wait for a few other month for the g2…i work for the update developer for ty-moble/ga0gie there will not be a much of a diffrent update for the g1 sorry for the one who had already brought the g1 but on the plus side the g2 is more affordable then the g1.

I’m ready for this update to come. Us g1 user need to keep up with the damn iphone. Anyone knows when this update is really coming?

im still waiting for it to be able to copy and paste from the internet and under gmail

I love g1i seen features on g2 it sounds good but doesn’t have everythin i want g1 has the market with free downloads,.probably you have 2 pay for apps for g2 n dats a no no ,the picture call sounds good but not good enough 4 me.

Yall need to relaxe the upgrade will come out when it do look how long it took the lx to get the upgrade the waited for another kick to come out

[...] like T-Mobile and HTC are giving us a new update for the T-Mobile G1. Unfortunately, this is not a cupcake. There are rumors about the cupcake is not going to be available for the G1 but it will be for [...]

What about flash? Will the update include the flash download so we can view more websites?

T-Mobile announces April 21st “private launch event” in NYC
by Joshua Topolsky, posted Apr 9th 2009 at 12:31PM

Well well well. Well. What do we have here? Apparently the cats and kittens over at T-Mobile have something special planned on Tuesday, April 21st. We’ve just gotten a very brief email letting us know that something was going down, but without any other detail. Obviously our gadget-alarms started clanging, and the way we see it we’ve only got a few things to get excited about. Will we see the launch of Cupcake? Could this be the official US unveiling of the Magic? Or perhaps we’ll finally get to see the new Sidekick which just hit the FCC. Look — anything is possible, but whatever happens, we’ll be there. What do you guys think is in store?

I’m just thinking by now that there is no cupcake. They have been saying that they would release this update for like 4 months so I’m not counting on anytging.

[...] told you about the cupcake here, here and here but seams like T-Mobile and Google will not release the cupcake sooner. However, [...]

well its about time we get this update..but now that we got “cupcake” how long before we get “donut”?

Well, the video recorder update is a plus. But we still need a mobile version of a flash player.

i still didnt get this update i keep staring at my g1 waiting for this update guhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

There is no real release date t mobile is sending it out randomly I just got mine yesterday but my girlfriend hasn’t gotten anything and we’re on the same plan

i got it may 30, 2009 and was baffled by the new vid recorder app. also nice being able to clean up all the text messaging bugs and be able to delete my messages

I got the update at 630am an its not all that an no flashplayer g1 sucks going back its out the. Frocupcake but it sucks. From tampa fl.
