I am wondering if there is any literature online about a simple guideline or something of that nature about the adb shell and commands and all that. I have rooted my phone and used the adb, but dont really understand it just basically copying off guides that were on here. also like loading apks through the shell and taking apks off, and having to rename zips all this stuff im kinda gray on but if someone could maybe point me in the direction of a good place to understand all this i would be very grateful....i am new to this but am very addicted to xda now modifying my phone I am currently using darch's 2.1 and really want to add all the additions but need to know about using the shell thanks in advance guys...people on xda rule the world

When you use the command "adb shell", that is simply dropping you into the shell of the phone. The phone runs Android, which is a version of Linux. Since almost EVERY ROM has "busybox" installed, you are able to run Linux shell commands on the phone, just as if you were on a Linux install on a computer. So just learn basic Linux commands, and you'll be fine
yea bertman in the stickies there is nothing what im asking about but thanks for your help anyway....mrhinehart so instead of running the cmd promt from my pc i can just run busy box or do i run busy box from reboot recovery?......................ohh snap i found it in the stickes thanks bertman that actually exactly what i was looking for just didnt think it would be in something that had to do with rooting....thanks a bunch man

Title says it all. I have a mac, and I want to sideload on my rooted Captivate. Are there any easy apps for mac to sideload? Downloading the SDK is not on my list of preferred methods....
Choices:
1. Use ADB
2. Modify the DB to allow non-market apps, put them on SD and use something like root explorer to install them.
3. Install windows in Boot Camp.

All three are very good options, if you're good with terminal then ADB is pretty simple.
Just edit the db, it takes all of 5 mins and then BAM. life is good

Moved Thread to General Section. Not Quite a Development Question.
Thanks!
Thankyou so much..
thank you, was looking for adb details.. am a new developer, any help in geting started would be greatly appreciated.
btw, am using mac, so as u can guess, i need some special help
Thanks! [/QUOTE]
Dual boot your Mac with a Linux partition.
Any other App for MAC apart from making it a dual boot ?
That would be more helpful any ways !!
I have the one click root on my computer. I was able to root stock 2.1 but not Froyo. I cant seem to get a normal Update.zip to reinstall to root it. Can anyone help me out with this? Thank you

If you're comfortable with flashing Froyo using adb shouldn't be a problem.

I sent smokestack a PM to see if he can help me out on how to do it. I just flashed the phone with Froyo following the directions here. I wasnt to sure about what I was doing but I did everything and it all eventually worked out well, with a couple scares lol. Im new to the rooting scene. I mean Im pretty savy when it comes to certain stuff and I was easy to install beta leaks and builds with BlackBerrys for 3 years. Im new to Android since the Captivate came out, so Im slowly trying to learn the tricks of the trade

Sent you a reply as well.
I was wondering if someone was also willing to help me, the instructions on the link are kinda of vague I think
we are working on it
Seems that adb does not like Win7. Anyone else see issues?

The instructions seemed clear as day to me. Put the phone in debug mode, use adb to push the files, execute a shell script, use sqlite3 to allow side loading, change permissions on the files you pushed, and reboot.

I think what they are looking for is where to put the files that they download. I know in the rooting tread, it was missing. I also think some people do it differently, so it may help just to let them know how you find it easiest to navigate to them, etc.
Personally, I take the files that were downloaded and extract them all. Then make sure you have downloaded the android SDK program and put it on the root of your computers hard drive such as drive C:. Then add those files you downloaded to the "Tools" file within sdk.
To navigate to them with command prompt, it would look like: cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Then run the commands as listed in the tread.
Hope this helps.
Perhaps this is not the answer you are looking for, but if you are comfortable flashing roms, flash Cognition 2.2 (its already rooted).
Good luck

I'm running W7 and am having issues with adb. I'm a noob to android but I'm learning. Anyway, I tried your suggestion of adding the files to the tools directory but when I enter "su" the system returns "su: not found". Any help?
Moved to Q&A.
I've tried to figure out how to set up OpenVpn on my incredible, but all the posts are too complicated - talking about adb shells and .conf files (as if we're supposed to know what that is).
All I want is a simple app to use OpenVpn or very specific instructions on how to get OpenVPN on the phone (please explain what adb, .conf, tun.ko is).
Can anyone help?
For adb, check the sticky section. There's already a guide there. Learn to walk before running.

Even getting over the ADB hurdle, there are still a litany of terms I don't understand. If OpenVPN is in such demand, why can't someone just make an app for android that accomplishes this. It would make a fortune.
Id like to run apk(s) within windows, such like live profile. Also i know you can do it for dev modding, id like to give that a go sometime aswell. So can some one please help me out, I already have SDK installed, but no clue how to use it apart from "adb devices"

Start the emulator and adb install the apk.
You'll be starting a very slow emulator running android designed for developing apps. It'll be slow but it should work
Can you explain that in a step by step please.

Nope. don't have a computer with the sdk nearby. There are plenty of guides around the net telling how to set up the sdk.
