I find it very strange what is going on. I would have thought that the
ADP1 group would be an excellent way for Google to beta test their
updates. I fully understand and (almost) respect the fact that T-
Mobile doesn't want to give full liberties to the group that bought
their subsidised phones (though not really with the outrageous price
of plans) but we are a group of people that have bought the phones at
full price, have ABSOLUTELY no usable warranty, are generally tech
savvy, and are able to provide pertinent and useful feedback on
features and bugs.
Google have not provided any documentation on the vital flash-test-
revert cycle (so you can actually use the phone again if you bork it).
Kudos for getting the dev phones out there - now make them work for
you! Isn't it outrageous that xda-developers has far more useful info
for ADP1 hackers than Google? How hard is it to provide the
proprietary apps and kernel modules to people who have already signed
up (and paid!) as developers on the market so the phone still has a
chance of working from a git compile?
Cheers
