Rootless Android 1.5 available for G1 now, with or without T-Mobile USA’s help
Filed under: Software, HTC, T-Mobile, Android
After delays, multiple false alarms, and staggered launches, we’ll admit: our patience is being tested with this whole Android 1.5 situation on T-Mobile USA’s G1, and we imagine there are plenty of users who feel the same way. Previously, it took root access — a process many lay users would rather not undertake — to shoehorn 1.5 onto an official carrier-branded unit, but we at this time finally have a legit, signed build that’ll install without any hackery whatsoever. This release will give you all the splendors 1.5 has to offer, preserve myFaves access, and requires little more than a file copy to your microSD card plus a couple key combinations to install, so it’s pretty much a must-have if you’re tired of waiting for T-Mob to do its thing. at this time on to Donut, eh?
