Thanks to a tip off from one of our Android Forums posters, Superatim, U.S. users can download and install the already released UK version of Android OS 1.5 (cupcake). You will be giving up some of the U.S. features of 1.5, but will gain them back once the U.S. version of 1.5 is [...]

[killer3160]

You would do the same process for the US version, once the update.zip is made available.

oh k so i can just go from uk 1.5 to us 1.5? or will i need to take some extra steps?
also is there any way i would be able to go back to rc33 cause my fave is not working with the uk 1.5 >.<

Everything working. Thank You. The Market is working on G1, just downloaded an app. Had to bookmark youtube, the youtube icon comes up with UK stuff.

u might want to double check that cause uk t-mobile doesn't have MyFaves

Everything that I use works, I have no friends so never use myfavs and contacts. LOL

All features seem to be working for me. I haven't come across anything that isn't working, but I don't use myfaves. I've installed several apps and widgets from the market. The youtube app is seeing my account just fine.

I'm assuming it will not automatically update from UK1.5 to US1.5 when it becomes available and I will have to update it manually with the zip file. But once I update and am running US 1.5 will the next update the comes out down the road should it update automatically or will I have to manually update from then on if I make a manual update?

 

[jimczyz]

Once you manually update back to 1.5 US, you should get it automatically afterwards.

Probably after this week you should hard reset and let the phone manually update to the US version of 1.5. Note: I really have no idea what I'm talking about; this is just what I'm planning to do at the end of next week.
