Widgets in Android 1.5 - Cupcake

Here you go - a glimpse at the widgets you'll have access to once you receive the Cupcake update, over-the-air. The process begins on May 11th, and you should get hit within a week or so. I missed out on the Paypal widget because it wasn't available for me until after this video was uploaded.

I don't know if any of you will remember this, but rooting fixed a problem I had with some apps not showing up in the Market. It looks like different builds have this problem to different degrees. Or maybe apps get rolled out to various Market servers, one at a time. Beats me.

What happens when you run two homes and waaaay too many widgets? See below.

@KittyGetAway i think UI and cupcake are just the terminology or name the devs called the updates of the firware..ROMS are the standard OS put in a phone..if HTC magic works with google android OS, it could work on there, but depends if some devs already made hacks compatible with the phone, such as screen pixellation, resolution etc...im not a pro either , but im prett certain about my statement..lol

Is there anyone who can give me a hand? I am very very unframiliar with HTC, and Android phones. I know nothing what-so-ever. I had though, just ordered a HTC Magic for Rogers. I hope this is a good choice? We don't have the Hero yet. Also, is there a way to make it look like the Hero, and this "sense UI" can these be put on the magic? ..Is that what you cal, rooting a phone? and is Cupcake and Sense UI the same thing? Sorry for the little knowledge folks, any help would be appreciated. :)

Do you need a Data/internet/Browsing plan to be able to use the IM Messeging service like Windows Live, Yahoo, and stuff.

u will have the update. i reset mine cause i got locked out, the cupcake update is the actual os being updated and u never lose those kind of updates, it stays 1.5. u will however lose all of your apps that arent backed up to ur card and settings will be reset(ringers, ect.) and u can just use the same gmail.

on how many screens can I put widgets 1 homescreen and 2 other screens (or more other screens) I don't see really the major difference from the original cupcake and htc sense is it possible with the orignal cupcake to define profiles (at home maybe, at work) where I can define if it should use the wlan or umts or which icon and widgets should be shown on screen or is this feature only available in the sense edition

If you have T-Mobile and don't have it by now you're going to have to manually update it. There's instructions on how to install Cupcake 1.5 manually if you dial 611 with your T-Mobile G1. T-Mobile should have automatically updated Cupcake for you by now.

Those RSS feeds all have the same look and feel because they are created by the same developer! There is no default template for ALL feed widgets, just that the creator chose to use the same template over and over again because it was simple.
