Official German Cupcake URL Leaks (For Developers)

Update: Official as in “from Google” not official as in “this is what will be delivered OTA”. Also it mostly contains patches from RC9 files, not the full files themselves.

If you’re a German Android developer, you’ll be happy to know that an Official Google URL for the latest Cupcake update has been leaked and you can (at least for the time being) find it here: http://android.clients.google.com/updates/signed-CRB17-from-TMI-RC9-eu.17667e06.zip

Our tipster (Jeff from VacantCanvas) – suggests that it is a broad European version of Cupcake and is forging ahead despite the possibilities:

I think it’s the EU version, but I’m going to give it a try anyways and see what happens… maybe I just have to deal with “flavour” and “colour” for a couple weeks until the US version comes out.

He found the update on a German Android Forum (translated to English) called Android-Hilfe.de which actually translates to “Android Help” for anyone that cares in the least. So if you’re either:

• A brave Android developer
• A German Android developer
• A curious cat who is on one of their first 8 lives

See what you can do with the above .ZIP. Speaking of which, no harm can be done from downloading and poking around the files so… you’ve at least got that option.

[Thanks again, Jeff!]
