Proprietary patch is now part of Android source tree

When building Android 1.5 (cupcake) for the HTC Dream (Android Dev Phone), you had to apply patch (10899) with to command

repo download platform/vendor/htc/dream-open 10889/4

But this patch is now part of the android source tree (for the tree different branches: master, cupcake and donut). This will simplify the build process and therefore I will update the blogpost.

There is also the discussion with the different branches (which one to use). Inside the building Android 1.5 posts I use the cupcake-release branch. There is a good explaination about the different branches written by Jean-Baptiste Queru at http://groups.google.com/group/android-platform/browse_thread/thread/3670ed63a7d9e3ab Reading this post I decide from the development perspective to update the blogposts so that the cupcake branch is used.

While there is less development on the cupcake branch, I did not managed to get a working donut build. Will download the source code again in the coming days to perform another build. I will post the results on this blogpost.

    Hi, Johan.

    I followed your tutorial and compiled a working image. One problem is the video. If I start the camcorder application i get only balck screen and have to cancel. After that the camera application doesnt work either - OutOfMemoryException.

    Have you found any solutions for this problem?

    Best wishes
