Sounds cool, we jus gotta wait like 10 years for it to be released
REPOST> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503739
cant waittt im excited ive been waiting 4 this update
Can't wait for all the awesome widgets that will come from this. That was one of the main areas lacking in the builds so far.
How long have we been waiting for this update? Since January 15th?
I guess Google is going to keep teasing us with rumored release dates, release details and screenshots until we wake up one morning to see our phones with an update available. So many noobs will be in a hurry to install it and come crying "I lost my root!"
I see only problems ahead with this. Still... I've bene playing with Haykuro's builds and thus far... I like it. But I don't think that I'll use it until Google releases the official version. But who knows... Haykuro (a 17 year old kid) is starting to make Google look bad.
I say we all thank him by donating his way to MIT!
What update... im already Up to Date... lmao ... check the sig

Haykuro's ROMs are pretty freakin stable. I updated yesterday to 5.0.1G and can honestly say my phone is faster and more stable than it ever has before(even when it had the stock ROM). The only thing I've found that doesn't work is the IM app but then it has the gchat app separate(which does work) and you can always dl Hi AIM, Hi MSN, etc for the others.
I think Google had to release that, after all, there is a 17 year old high school student who made two versions run on the G1, and also customized them by adding a few things from other versions, as well as apps to SD!
I really can't believe that it's a coincidence that they released the beta a day after Haykuro got the most stable versions working!
I expect it will be coming as an official update very soon, or Google is going to look very bad!
Unless I have a huge problem, I'm sticking with Haykuro!
Well now that its official i can say what I've wanted to say for weeks, why on earth are there so many people getting all excited about Haykuro's build? Seems like a total waste of time and space to me now that the real thing is coming and will actually work without flaws. I will wait for JF version. Copy and paste will be sweet!!!

Haykuro's build(at least the 5.0.1G with apps to sd) works beautifully... The only thing I've found that doesn't work better than my phone has ever worked before is the IM app. But that's useless for me since the Gtalk app does work(again, beautifully) and I use Hi AIM and Hi MSN for those services. I have found no flaws that are any more significant than I've had in the JF versions and everything works MUCH better.
Haykuro's builds are indeed awesome and extremely impressive but they're not without their key flaws. A lot of my favourite apps don't function properly or work at all on these builds and the autorotate was so slow I had to turn it off. I still think I'd prefer to stick with 5.0G for now than to switch back to JF 1.42.
I definitely recommend 5.0G for someone looking for the best cupcake experience with root - I definitely wouldn't hold my breath for the OTA release + modded rom with root, it could be awhile and Haykuro's builds are stable enough now (and getting more stable every few days with frequent updates).
You DO realize that the apps that don't work is because they were designed for 1.1 and not 1.5 right? It is no fault of Haykuro's ROMS as they wouldn't work on Google's release either. It's up to the Devs to make them compatible and with the new SDK they can!
Copy and Paste works great in Haykuro's builds: Menu > More > Select Text.

I don't think Google were rushed into anything. The simple fact of the matter is that they are not ready to release yet. I'm running Haykuro's 5.0.1G and I think it works really well, and is pretty much close to production quality, but the point is it isn't yet. Bear in mind it based off of Google and HTCs own builds for the Magic, which it still yet to be released. I'm sure the Magic hardware has been locked down for some months now, so it is the software stack they are waiting on.
The fact that Haykuro has got it out and working for the G1 is a tremendous testament to his skills, and to those who've given him assistance, but it is still based on an unfinished product. At some point, there will be a code freeze and the Magic will be released, and I'd expect to see the official Cupcake build shortly after then. Of course, by the time T-Mobile gets it's hands on to it, they'll probably nerf it into uselessness anyway, so there will still be a need for the Haykuro's/JFs of the community!

Actually, this does make me rather angry. When the G1 was released with p*ss poor Bluetooth support, one of the reasons they gave is that they they had it all working, but they weren't happy with the API and didn't want to "lock it down" as they would have to support this going forward so as not to break any applications developed for the released version of Android in any future revisions.
Now we are seeing new Android versions, and apps are breaking on these versions. I can only assume this is mostly down to changes in the Android APIs.

Dave

com'on man have some patience, or update your phone with haykuro's builds. Look at the fact that what Android 1.5 has it took 2 years for apple to put in iPhone and android 1,5 will be there before iPhone OS 3.0. Palm is still working on stuff we already have.
Android 1 to 1.5 is the fastest development lifecycle we've ever seen. We knew about 1.5( a.k.a cupcake ) because of the fact that Android is opensource and all the world knows whats going on. its not a closed door development scenario like every other major mobile OS.
Just rejoice these facts and feel happy that you have an android phone.
Well, im really glad to finally hear something from google about the Cupcake update. Im currently using the JF 1.42 MOD and its really cool very stable and no issues, and I wouldnt move to the official Cupcake until JF releases his update bcoz I dont want to loose Multi-Touch
Not that its very useful.......but its a nice show off , and gives iphone owners no edge or any other cool features over my lovely G1 ))
The race to Android 2.3 updates is on. Yesterday several users started reporting that Samsung was rolling out a new version of Kies, the desktop software used to update Galaxy S phones. We were wondering what the latest release was for and it appears this update is laying the groundwork for Android 2.3 updates of the Galaxy S.
In a Facebook posting Samsung said, “You need this update to be able to get the 2.3.2 update to your Samsung Galaxy S, Vibrant, Fascinate. 2.3.2 will be worldwide but carriers will be delayed.”
Samsung previously said on their Romanian Facebook page that the Android 2.3 update would be out by the end of March. That has yet to occur, but it looks like things are on schedule now that the new Kies is out.
Just as we saw with the Android 2.2 updates, the international versions of the Galaxy S should be updated long before the US versions of the phone. The delays might have been the carriers fault, but Samsung took a real beating since they arrived so long after the competition.
Hopefully this time around Samsung will work more closely with the US carriers to ensure their phones are updated in a timely manner.
http://drippler.com/samsung-galaxy-...utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=facebook-pages
I am positively shocked that they mentioned the US versions on Facebook. Just checked Mini Kies for the Vibrant and it is updating.
If Sammy makes this happen soon (official Gbread) it will go a long way in ensuring repeat customers.
Would be nice...but some of us just got froyo...naturally I want it though.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
Would be nice...
What are the benefits of the update? All I've seen is speed. I don't need download speed - I use wifi and don't download much anyway - just a few apps. The speed I want is processor. Read my PDF files and books faster. I might not want it as the phone is working just the way I want it. How do you refuse it in that case?
I just looked it up and the only interesting thing is VOIP. I had that on a Nokia.
1. New user interface has a simple and attractive theme in black background, which is designed to give a vivid look while being power efficient too. Menu and settings are changed for ease of navigation.
Don't care - use my own photos as wallpaper
2. Redesigned soft keyboard is optimized for quicker and accurate text input and editing. And the word being edited and dictionary suggestion is vivid and easy to read.
Don't care about that, either.
3. Multi touch key cording to input number and symbols without changing input mode
PITA on the Blackberry
4. Selection of word and copy/paste made easy.
Don't use
5. Improved power management through application control.
Might be interesting
6. Provide user awareness on power consumption. Users can view how the battery is used and which consume more.
Same as above
7. Internet calling – supports SIP calls to other users with SIP account
Very interesting - But Skype over wifi works
8. Support Near-field communication (NFC) – high frequency high speech data transfer within a short range (10 cm). This will be useful feature in m commerce.
No
9. A new download manager facility that supports easy storage and retrieval of downloads
Have no problem now.
10. Support for multiple cameras
Mostly use separate camera - As far as I'm concerned, the 5mp camera in the Nokia C6 was superior to the one in the SGS4G.
I use the phone as a PDA/phone. I don't see much there to benefit me.

So a gripe I've been having with stock android and AOSP based roms such as CM is that when I use my bluetooth to play music through an external device, that I could never get the device to display track names etc. This has always worked on bloated firmwares, i.e. touchwiz, sense etc.
I've done some research into this, and it turns out the problem is that stock android does not support the AVRCP bluetooth profile past version 1, which is YEARS out of date, the current version is 1.4 and supports display of album art on external bluetooth devices, as well as track and playlist information. This being left out is just lazy on google's part, especially considering google now operates a music store.
A fix for this was merged in CM10, but other AOSP bluetooth updates break that fix, so requires a huge amount of work for CM dev's to keep up with bluetooth profile patches. I do not think this is up to the CM devs to include.
So why am I writing this here?
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5450
this is the issue raised, with 1111 stars next to it so far. I think this should be closer to the #1 issue, this should be highlighted to google to show that people actually want this. If you agree, please, add a star to the issue tracker, and share to others that you might think would care.
Hi,
Do you have any news about this?
Im trying to display the cover art on my car by AVRCP but isn't possible.
Many thanks
Android 4.4.2 Kitkat has support for AVRCP 1.3 but still its old. We need AVRCP 1.4 or 1.5 support so that we can browse the music collection over bluetooth. Please star the issue (link provided in the first post) so that android team would prioritize this requirement.
FYI...
