Am linking to this, as people far and wide have been breaking their G1s to get Cupcake in there the hard way. This exhaustive guide from androidandme is indispensable.
Simply follow it through and you should have Cupcake up and running in no…actually in quite a long period of time, but you will get it working.
Read it, print it, commit it to memory!
Hopefully this will be the last of our Cupcake woes…
I’m sorry to dash your cupcake update dreams but a T-Mobile USA spokesman, a one, Erica Gordon, is on the record as saying that there is no plans for a Cupcake update, “as far as (she) knows”
But there may be good news for the American market as both Androinica and BoyGeniusReport are both confident that T-Mobile will unveil the G2 at next month’s CITA. (The HTC Magic for us Europeans).
Andoinica speculates the sudden drop in price for G1 handsets, suggest that T-Mobile is ‘trying to drum up sales before releasing their next Android phone”. While Boy Genius which is banking on an April Cupcake update (sorry guys, read the above) think it would make sense for T-Mobile to release their new handset at the same time.
The most compelling argument for an April release however is the CITA Wireless conference that takes place in April. What better place to unveil a phone than one of the ‘most important global technology event(s) of the year’ according to the site? After all LG announced the GD910 at CES in January.
Here’s a video showing in more detail and clarity exactly what we might never get to enjoy in the Android 1.5 (Cupcake!!!) update for the T-Mobile G1…
Included is the virtual keyboard which eschews the need for Sidekick-ing your phone to write a text, and an impressive Global Time application which makes even Google Earth on the iPhone look a bit budget.
Play it on repeat until T-Mobile tells us when we can get some Cupcake action!
