Gmail app: How can I view the email addresses?
In the Gmail app, how can I view the actual email addresses an email has been sent to, rather than just the name?

In the Gmail app, how can I view the actual email addresses an email has been sent to, rather than just the name? Sometimes the person in question has more than one email address and it would be useful to see which email address was used. The only method I've come up with so far is to hit reply all and then scroll around the cc: field, but that is clunky, particularly if there are quite a few recipients. Any better options? I am using Android 1.5 on a T-Mobile Pulse (aka Huawei U8220).

How may I install an Android System Image not available on Google Downloads?

I happened to be working on an Android application written around *2010* or so and the target OS is Android Cupcake. The application was written for very old hardware and still runs fine on those (it is still currently in use). I am hired to write a new feature for this application and from the description of this feature, it should run flawlessly. But I can’t seem to find the right tools that will make my job easy. I badly want to use Android Studio because I am used to it. But Android Studio doesn’t have Android Cupcake system image for x86 processor (in those days, Android was written for ARM processor only). I have an x86 Android Cupcake system image that works (please don’t ask how I got it because it is a very long story). I want to setup an AVD and use this image as the underlying system image but I’m lost. Has anyone done this before?

I got in my hand an old Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini pro from 12 years ago and this is a quite nice, beautiful, and outdated Android. I do have however interest in seeing how modern mobile apps behave on this device. The default Android browser simply doesn't open any page anymore, but I got it rooted and installed the first Opera version (6.x) I found on APK Mirror. Does anyone know which exact version is the most modern browser that this Android 1.6 device can run?

How can I clear the cache of the Android Facebook app?
My phone (T-Mobile Pulse/Huawei U8220 with Android 1.5) doesn't have much on board space, so I quite often run into the low disk space warning. Looking through the list of apps, I see the facebook app has about 2.5 MB of user data. I suspect most of this is a photo album I looked at recently. But I...
My phone (T-Mobile Pulse/Huawei U8220 with Android 1.5) doesn't have much on board space, so I quite often run into the low disk space warning. Looking through the list of apps, I see the facebook app has about 2.5 MB of user data. I suspect most of this is a photo album I looked at recently. But I can't seem to find any option to clear that cache ... Does anyone know how to? I'm happy to use a file manager and go into the filesystem to delete stuff if I can find it and someone can reassure me that I'm not going to stuff up the facebook app at the same time. And I don't want to uninstall and reinstall because [nothing will install any more](http://gadgets.stackexchange.com/questions/603/android-an-app-failed-to-download-install-what-do-i-do) .

Currently I am using HTC Hero with Android 1.5 and as we know right now Android 2.2 (Froyo) has been released, so i am planning to upgrade from 1.5 to 2.2. Regarding updating, I have the following questions: 1. How do I update it? 2. Is there any selection options provided to update? For example I want to update my 1.5 to 2.1 instead of 2.2, 2.0 or anything else. 3. Are there any issues that have already occurred with Android 2.2? 4. What if I want to down-grade to lower version, is it possible? (i.e. rollback to older version)

Old ringtones from android 1.0?
I had a Android Dev G1 phone (which has long since bitten the dust). it was running android 1.0 (later updated to 1.5). I have just gotten a HTC Desire running 2.2. There was a nice ringtone on the 1.0 that i'd like to get again. Is there anyway to download the ld ringtones that were on 1.0?
