Unfortunately neither the exact code for the 1.0 SDK nor for 1.1 (especially for 1.1) are available. Versions 126986 and 128600 respectively match PLAT-RC33 (current version for the T-Mobile G1 in the US) and TMI-RC9 (the European equivalent). Here's the relevant code in 1.1, which matches the f

Well, there is a risk that a bug in 1.0 that would have been fixed in 1.1 could be hit by your application. I'm not explicitly aware of such situations, but that's definitely possible in theory. It is possible (and in fact reasonably easy) to downgrade an ADP1 back to 1.0, the drawback being that

The default behavior of the back key is to exit your activity by calling finish() (which should pop to the next activity in the activity stack of the task your activity was in, or to another task if your activity was at the bottom of its task). You can override that. The behavior of the home key
