Hello Android Team, you guys rock. The platform, the dev phone, ... ... the end less list is excellent. And I know for sure that this is already on your mind but here is a formal request: "Please DON'T release an official cupcake based firmware for ADP1 till you can provide us the procedure to get the same release level firmware by building on our own."
Many developers would have observed that there is no way to build with the cupcake features and yet get a fully usable system on our own. Mainly - the build config even when building for htc_dream seems to ignore wifi, bluetooth etc. - there seem to be proprietary binaries that are incompatible with the new kernel - apparently there isn't a easy way in spite of extract_files.sh to actually back up all non-open stuff. Many apps go missing! - provide the backing up of installed apps as a step during build&install. ... or at least provide us clear documentation on this. It is ill to get most of this from xda-developers site or some other.. Internally google/android, htc and t-mob might be using a different source tree and that is absolutely fine but with Google's good motive to promote ADP1 and development on this platform, such incomplete SDKs leave a black mark. Make it simple for us by providing a date to repo sync up to on the public source branch. Provide the closed binaries that need to be included plus some scripts such that we can compile the same fully working firmware. Yes, this might not be possible with t-mob g1, but to keep htc_dream build synchronized with the ADP1 should be possible for you. Please. Am sure many other developers would appreciate such a release from the Android/Google teams. I repeat you guys rock, this is just a small push.. err.. a whiff.. in your own direction.
