[ HOW TO ] ADB AND WHY I LOVE ADB commands <3

[Droidfish]

No burns. <ADB Shell> is a command within adb that allows you to control your phone from your pc. No download needed, all you need is the SDK. ADB is run through your windows command prompt.

Thank you for the helpful response Droidfish! I was looking on the Android Developers site, and it said the required OS software for Windows is either XP or Vista. Does anyone know if this will work with Windows 7?

[Droidfish]

No problem. I don't have windows 7 but if I remember correctly it will work with the exception that you need administrator privileges.

I am running Win7 Pro x64 so yes it works.

just download and install the SDK and make sure you have the current motorola driver.do DO NOT need to load up those virtual files to use the "TOOLS" within the SDK. nor do you need Java to do ABD.

I shall edit my first post to make sure people have SDK installed

Only need admin for some of the tools. adb isn't one of them

I was trying to load a theme for an ESE53 build and I seem to have deleted my virtual keyboard. Right now I'm not too concerned with how to load the theme, I'll figure that out tomorrow. But does anyone know how to either salvage my keyboard or load another one?

I posted this question on another thread as well, I've copied that post below for more details. The theme was Hexfusion for 2.1.

I was having a problem with the command prompts. Everytime I got to the point to type "adb shell", I would get the message " error: device not found. I'm not sure why this is happening.

So then I decided to wait on the framework and thought I would load some of the icons and small things. I went to metamorph, loaded a number of things with no problem. Then I tried to load the "voicesearchwithkeyboard". I received a number of FCs then rebooted the phone. I now have no virtual keyboard in landscape or portrait (thank goodness I have a Droid with a physical keyboard!).

Does anyone know how I can salvage my keyboard or load another one?

Thank you for any help!

Edit: nevermind. Wipe + nandroid restore = good 2 go

How do ou get the scripts to the /system/bin/. This is what i get when I try to push it:

[root@droid] / # adb push scripts.zip /system/bin/
adb push scripts.zip /system/bin/
sh: adb: command not found

adb push scripts.zip /system/bin/

you need to extract the 2 files in the zip sysrw and sysro you need to push those two files to /system/bin/ or /system/xbin/
