[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rantrav:
I think that the problem is that the v1.5 is an update for the SDK. This had led me to believe that might be able to incorporate some of these builds into the v1.1...I am thinking that this may be our only option unless JQB can get the 1.5 complete as an update for the g1. Until then we will just have to play around with both and see what we can get to work...eventually we will have our "cupcake" so to speak. The market etc was not made to work on the 1.5 due to it being for SDK.... as I was informed earlier but all we can do is try and try again! :cool:

I have been trying things on the SDK with no luck but have been also trying JBQ's updates as they come out...see the first post for that link.

Keep in mind that the "cupcake" is not an update but part of the dev system, or a group of devs or ideas that was merged with the "main" or master branch. The update listed are things that are being worked on so to say that it will be an entire update may not be true, but rather it was a list of things that they are planning on releasing at a future time..main all at once or maybe not. If I am wrong about this please correct me...

so can i flash the cupcake build to my phone with the modified rc30 installed, or would i need to swtich to adp1?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d474rpr:
This is absolutely true. What happens is that the business and vendor/client will sit down and hash out a initial draft of brainstormed ideas they'd like to see in the next release. From that rough draft a document of functional and marketing requirements are composed. From that point the dev team, project manager, business analyst, developer, tech architect and qa starts working on breaking down the new specs into functional specifications, testable requirements and user acceptance criteria. If the new functionality can be coded, injected into the branch and pass testing then the functionality gets pushed into the next release. If not, sometimes if there are minor bugs the code gets pushed to the release anyway and the issues are deferred for the next release. This doesn't mean that if there is a functional requirement made and didn't make the code cutoff date that it will be in the next release. There are plenty of things that get cut due to time and money limitations on projects. Sometimes there is functionality that the "business" requires is in the next release otherwise you get the pimp hand from the investors. Sorry, I'm rambling. Hope this helps?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bekriebel:
I have been wondering this as well myself. I have enough coding knowledge that I may be able to help with the development / bug fixes of the main branch - but I don't know where to start. I'd rather not spend time working on an issue, only to find out that someone else was already working it and posts an update when I am 90% done with my own.

Is there a bug tracking system where a developer can essentially say "i got this one" and start working an update? I have read through the guides on getting started with the source, but I didn't see anything like this. Even if I could just put some spare time into working the minor bugs, it would hopefully free up the more hard-core developers to work on the serious issues and help make android the best thing out there.

Any suggestions on where to start? Am I really just left with pulling down the main branch and hacking away with what I can manage; or is there a better approach that I can take?

Thanks!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
I can't wait to find out when it's been pushed back to after tomorrow! Who wants to take bets?

I have $50 on two more weeks. ;)

I've already tried the emulator and it doesn't seem too bad. I still don't know what "Tactile Feedback" is for the security. And I'm a little dissappointed that there still isn't any Flash support (although we've been teased with the thought of killing our batteries watching Family Guy on Hulu or whatever your into) for going on three months now) but I guess that's all on Adobe. Different subject entirely.

I just wish that instead of rolling out one HUGE update with all sorts of bells and whistles (like a service pack for windows for example) that they would just release them individually. I'm axiously awaiting the update for Stereo Bluetooth, touchscreen keyboard and would dream of tether and flash support but I could really care less for the video recorder option. And who actually uses their phone as a camcorder anyway? So why wait until its been perfected? Just release what they have finished just to make their customers happy instead of pushing back the release date for something that most of us would care less about. Even if people are heartbroken about not having their video recording capabilities (or whatever) the number would be far fewer then those awaiting the entire package to be pushed out.

So I'm not sure what we're waiting on now but I'm just going to be patient and enjoy the phone that I purchased on the day of its release for all the reasons that I had purchased it (phone calls, internet, emails, chat, etc) and when the day comes around and customers finally get that update popup message we can all move on with our lives (if it doesn't cause them to get a panic attack first).

So far awaiting for the update is like watching a painfully boring 0-0 baseball game stretched the the 12th inning. And I hate baseball!

XDA - Cupcake?

Hey guys.... a thought for the master developers..a few of us have already installed the cupcake os beta right? and we should all know how to add/remove apks from update.zip folders right? is it difficult to add the market, maps, youtube etc apks to the cupcake build? perhaps take cupcake and inject it with jesus freak 41 formula?

if its possible we can all collaborate and build a stable xda-cupcake !
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmejor183:
I have read a lot about cupcake. Doing what you suggest would be great, but it is impossible. The framework/SDK version is different. So the APK's that work on ADP, RC30, RC8 will not work on a cupcake (or 1.5) version of android.

It is like putting diesel gasoline in a unleaded gasoline tank car (will not work).

anybody, correct me if i am wrong.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bakgwailo:
No, the update is not cupcake, just 1.1 firmware with some bug fixes/enhancements. Really, as it was said before, cupcake is atleast a few months off from being ready. I mean, bluetooth/gps just became working again 2 days ago.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoobs:
I wouldn't say months, I think people are just saying that so everyone would shut up about it. GPS has been working on and off for some time but if you think about it if you change one line of code it could make everything stop working. Bluetooth just became working but I think that was just one line of code that someone forgot to change.

Honestly I would say Cupcake (1.5) will be here by Feb/mid-March. And possibly sooner for ADP

I'm not sure about this since i don't have this device, but based on previous versions of Xiaomi devices (Xiaomi 12, 13) there are no problems about unlocking the bootloader. Xiaomi has always been open regarding this matter.

Just in case anyone wants to unlock the bootloader on Xiaomi devices based on HyperOS, read and visit the thread below:

I know, but supposedly they've clamped down on this.

I'm definitely not paying this kind of money if root may end up impossible or through shady paid channels.
[Xiaomi 14] CityKev:
As long as you are outside of China and have a global device (not for the Chinese market) you are fine. There are only 2000 approvals a day available so the best bet is to try at midnight Beijing time. My Redmi Note 10 Pro isn't on HyperOS and it's not clear if it will get it but I've got approval to unlock the bootloader by the official method above until February next year in case I can upgrade to it.
[Xiaomi 14] bamn:
Appreciate your replies! I know it's still early, but for my peace of mind I wouldn't mind waiting untill someone has unlocked their 14's BL.

Another question:

At the moment they are offering a free tablet untill March 11th.

I'm not interested in the tablet nor do I feel like trying to sell it.

Based on previous releases, would you expect the selling price to go down after this free tablet period?
[Xiaomi 14] CityKev:
Regarding the free tablet. In the UK Xiaomi offer great opening deals with things like free tablets, earbuds etc but they don't particularly lower the prices after those deals. When I bought my phone I got a decent set of earbuds free that I didn't need so I sold them unopened on eBay
[Xiaomi 14] bamn:
Thanks for the feedback!

I may consider that route then.
[Xiaomi 14] danicosas:
Does this affect the new Xiaomi 14 sold in Europe?
[Xiaomi 14] CityKev:
Just looking at the specs it comes with HyperOS pre-installed. That means the bootloader can only be unlocked with the new method you can see earlier in this thread (via the official Xiaomi app). As there are only 2000 'unlocks' approved each day you might have to try a few times (I did) but other than that it is not too dissimilar to the method used for MIUI systems.

The problem is there for many users for months. I have the same problem with my Xiaomi 14 (global).

All we can do is try again. For some users it worked after 7-10 days. Switching to an old Mi Unlock tool version or give permissions for Mi Cloud settings or send feedback option aren't solutions.

yep, one of the options I'm considering is to wait 7 days, just in case. do you know anyone that waiting 7 days, and not 3 as it says in the instructions, has worked for them?

Not personally. I read a lot in some forums and Reddit. For some users it worked after 7-10 days as they wrote. But there are also user waiting for months without success.

Maybe we will have luck, maybe Xiaomi will have mercy and will fix the problem...

[Xiaomi 14] XiaomiSuperFan:
Therefore I am able to confirm that it is possible to unlock the bootloader on the EU/Global version. Your mi account need to be registered for more than 30 days, and you need to apply through the portal. Then you add your account to your phone, and in the developer section > mi unlock status. You need to wait for 72 hours (instead of 1 week). Finally, you can unlock your phone through Mi unlock software.

I haven't been able to flash boot image directly, but after installing twrp recovery, it's possible to root the phone.
[Xiaomi 14] XiaomiSuperFan:
Did you add your Xiaomi account on the phone, then added it through developper options > mi unlock status?

If so, you shouldn't get that type of error. I would suggest to try another version of mi unlock software. That's what I did because I got "try again later" error message, and with a previous version of the software it worked
[Xiaomi 14] XiaomiSuperFan:
When you have done all the manipulations on your phone, you can try the mi unlock software and it tells you your waiting time. It is 72 hours, unless maybe if you unlocked another device previously
