I am asking this because I am trying to get IM application for 'cupcake' branch emulator. I did a 'make -j4' and then 'make IM' but the IM is not in All app, but i see that in Settings->manage application. Here is the AndroidManifest.xml, It has action.MAIN: <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; package="com.android.im" android:sharedUserId="android.uid.im"
