Android Cupcake Firmware 1.5

Cupcake is a repository of all new features available for the Android device after the OS has gone official. It contains many features such as a virtual keyboard, a new Note pad application, new animations for windows, a new Global Time application showing a rotating globe, and more.

To see how these enhancements work, you can now experience it on your Android Emulator. To do so, perform the following steps:

1. Download the Android SDK
2. Backup the tools\lib\images folder in your SDK folder
3. Download the Cupcake firmware 1.5 from: http://s3.amazonaws.com/nullwire/android_images_sdk1.5.zip
4. Expand the item downloaded in (3) and put it into the images folder mentioned in (2).
5. Run your Android Emulator as normal and you will now be able to try out the new Cupcake!

Enjoy!
