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
what is this ADB thing? Can someone help me out?

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 !!
So I'll admit that I'm a newb and only have a basic grasp of all these shenannigans that go around here however thanks to all the fantastic instructions I have managed to root my Nexus One without unlocking the bootloader, flash Amon RA's recovery and made it stick and even flashed MCR21 which kicks ass BTW. Now the only thing missing for me trackball wake which for some odd reason was not included in my prebake. I have the new android.policy file but when I try to use the command adb remount it returns adb: not found. I also tried using Root Explorer to copy and paste the file from my SD card and it said the file could not be moved. Does anyone have any ideas on what my problem may be? Thanks.
do you have the android SDK installed and are you in the android directory (e.g android-sdk-windows>Tools)

Windows. I grew a little impatient so I signed up for a Modaco plus account and baked a new ROM with trackball wake already in it. Thanks so much for your help though!!
Anyone been able to apply a method for connecting a Galaxy tab to a ad hoc wifi network?
I've rooted my tab and poked around for the various fixes but can't get anything to work. I tried the compiled Froyo fix for this but it throws an error when I try to flash the fix using Rom Manager: "failed to verify whole-file signature".
Will this patch need to be resigned for the tab? I'll admit I'm new to the Android world and I'm hoping there's an easy fix for this.
i also want to know how to connect to an ad hoc network. Please help us.
I tether mine using wireless tether on my dinc you just need to enable access control and it will work.
By wireless tether, you mean Bluetooth? What do you mean by "enable access control"?
I have a rooted droid incredible I use "wireless tether" from the market. When you open the app hit menu then access control and just hit enable.
Nope...had me going for a minute though. Funny though,my girlfriends DX can see my ad-hoc tether from my d1?
I would also like to know...
ad-hoc on Galaxy Tab
Having the Galaxy Tab recognize/connect to ad-hoc wireless network is critical for me. Anyone have the answer??
Verizon galaxy tab ad hoc working
After rooting my tab I found this link on the forums: forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7711198&postcount=6
Grabbing the wpa_supicant file from there all I did was use root explorer, which can be found in the android market, to back up my existing wpa_supplicant found in the
/system/bin/ directory at the bottom. Then I copied the newly downloaded file
(after extracting it) and placed it in the above mentioned directory. You will have to press
The r/w button at the top of root explorer in order to enable read write permissions in
/system/bin . I tested this with the wireless tether on my droid original and it works
as advertised.
I am not the one who created this solution nor am I the one who compiled wpa_supplicant
All credit goes to the original author of the solution. I merely wish to convey to you that this solution worked for me. I hope this helps.
*It is important to note th at this was done using a rooted verizon galaxy tab. You will
Have to be at least rooted for this solution to have any chance of working. I used z4root
in order to root my device which can be found by searching these forums or the android market and again I dont claim any credit or participation in the creation of that app.

Yea, you're changing a file on the tab, so as long as you can tether with your inc, you'll be good. This definitely works and is incredibly simple, I'm tethered right now off my droid x.

No luck on rooted tmobile galaxy tab
Maybe this is a total noob problem but, I rooted my tab, followed the instructions and nada. The file says it copied but the date of the file did not change. I refreshed and checked again. I tried to see if the tab would now see my wifi tether from my droid1. No go. My laptop and ipod see the droid wifi but not the galaxy. Any ideas?

Assuming u backed up the original file first to ur sdcard, I actually deleted the one in
/system/bin then copied the modified file there afterward in order to make sure it was replaced and to avoid overwrite issues like that. Give that a try?
And dont forget to mount the folder in "r/w"

This worked great for me. Had to use adb shell and some command line tricks but got the new wpa_supplicant copied and can now use the wifi tether on my phone for internet. Good times.
Thanks!

Right on the money! As soon as I updated Root Explorer, bada bing Baby!
Thanks for the help!
Would appreciate assistance or direction.please.
Been working for 2 weeks on installing on My Nook Color installed with Honeycomb.
I have it imaged on SDHC card and running on Nook. Problem installing Google Apps and Market.
Looks like I have ADB installed correctly in platform tools and in SDK folde.r I have USB folder with , I think, appropriate drivers.
When I connect and then go in device manager to find driver and get to "have disk" and find the "android_winusb" (located in SDK folder usb drivers) and located the bottom where says inf file is not highlighted. Therefore it will not install.
Newbie here, but looks like not recognizing as an inf file?
Seems like I am so close and now just a puzzle I am unable to solve.
Could you or someone assist? It would be much appreciated. I have tried all searches for resolution that I know of.
Thanks.

I had the same problem trying to install the drivers on my Vista laptop. After several attempts to uninstall and re-install the drivers, I was never able to resolve it. My work around was to install ADB & the drivers on my old XP laptop for emergency use. For day to day use with my Windows Vista machine I installed ADB wireless on my Nook and it connects without any problems.

Appreciate the response, thanks.
What is adb wireless and then how did you get google apps and market on the Nook?
Wow-did some research and looks like the perfect application-thanks.
I can not find out how to download the app. I found a site that said "hit break button to see download link".
I do not know what a break button is?
How can I get the adbwireless app?
Much appreciated, thanks.
PS-If I can get that application-how do I get the Google App and Market on the Nook color?
Getting excited here!
I am new to all of this, I am now in Germany from the US and I am trying to unlock my Samsung Fascinate Galaxy S Hardware I500.04, Build #SCH=I500.ED05, Kernel2.6.32.9, Firmware 2.2.2. I don't have any internet connections but I want to just find a sim card for my phone I have activated USB debugging and used Super One Click to root my phone, it installed super user and then I applied galaxy s Unlock and then got a message that busybox had a problem and to fix it...but I have no clue how to proceed.
It initially created a folder on my phone Galaxy S Unlock and a sub-folder called efs but I am not sure what I should copy to it and how I can actually see all the documents and files when I am stuck using windows vista x64. I tried installing an android explorer program on my computer but the install failed...some config. issues.
Explorer is how I loaded the app programs on my phone by simply copying them to the download folder and once there, simply installed it but still get the same message concerning busybox...I have read the forum but I am not following too well can someone please help me? I forgot to mention I installed z4Root too. I only have access to any downloads on my PC no phone service at all. Can someone set me on the path to success?
