Database Develop

Droid explorer-like app for mac?

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

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 !!

is there any way to get adb.exe on windows 7

i take it adb is not available for windows 7? I have been searching everywhere for answers, and all i found was drivers for the 64 bit version of windows. Does anyone know how to get sdk on windows 7 with all the files? sorry about the noob question but this has me dumbfounded

Check the android dev section for my thread on how to install adb on windows 7 32 and 64 it takes like 15 or 20 min tops good luck.

I finally got it working, I found that if you htc sync installed for some reason adb wont install; also, adb isn't in the tools directory, now it is in the platform-tools directory. Got it working, and even got android commander installed and working, thanks

There's also this video tutorials section that I made that has this as well. How are people missing these things when they are reading

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.

Developer Registration Tool w/o full SDK?

Long story short...I have a legit Windows Phone Developer account and I want to unlock my Lumia 920. I know the unlock tool is part of the WP8 SDK, but the only problem is that the SDK requires Windows 8 64-bit. As of now, the only Windows 8 install I have is on my Samsung tablet, so I can't install it on there since its not 64-bit.
Is there a way to just get the registration tool without installing the 1.5+GB SDK? Or is there a way to do it from Windows 7?

Try this. Idk if it works, but give it a shot anyway! Extract the files and put it in a folder, then run the exe.

unfortunately this doesn't work, as it states we need a zune-connected phone. and the lumia 920 doesn't connect to zune

RE: register phone
Why don't you use a vmware image of windows 8 where you can install the sdk on it. I use the same method as I have a macbook. for win phone 8 dev I use vmware.

I think the zip doesn't work but not because it needs a zune connected phone. Instead the issue is that the tool is probably missing some common files or something like that. It asks to connect the phone to the computer and points at a potential problem with the windows phone passthrough service (although there is no problem because the device can be browsed perfectly fine).

I wish I could at least install a XAP to my WP8 devce on Windows 7...Is THAT even possable ?

Sorry for bumping this old post, but I had been having issues registering/unlocking my Windows Phone 7 Lumia 710 recently to develop.
Using Windows 7 SDKs, the registration tool with it just wasn't working - I was getting the good old "Error logging into the App Hub. Please check your Windows Live ID and password and try again" message.
Even contacting Windows Dev Support couldn't resolve this - apparently its a known issue theyre working on just now!
Long story short, I found this thread - and tried the zip file you linked and it worked! I was able to register my phone through that file instead of the registration tool that came with the SDK. So thank you very much!

Worked for me too. Thanks a bunch !!

[Q] how to get QXDM to install on windows 7

how do you get QXDM to install on windows 7? Ive tried multiple versions but they always fail on install asking for IE 5.0 or IE6.0 or greater, when I have IE10 installed. Any ideas?

I've read that if you run in windows 95 mode and disable windows features that it works.
Edit: you could always create a vm with windows xp. Also look for a internet explore 5 install. Try that. I know it sounds stupid but maybe internet explorer 7 and up changed the way it explores
Edit edit: which version do you have? Use .12 or later and make sure your internet explorer is set as default. *found on some forum* this is useful because I've had the same issue with a different program back in the early days of windows 7.

Not solved for me...running Win7 64bit and same installation error message re: IE...

Fixed QXDM 3.11.36 can't install on win 7 64bits
If you got "QXDM need ie6 or later error" when try to install it on windows 7 64bit, here is the solution that works for me:
Remove Internet Explorer including IE9, IE10, IE11, any newer version.
Then try to install QXDM now, try with admin if you still got error.
I got it work with QXDM 3.11.36, windows 7 ultimate 64bits.
Hope this help some one!
BR,

It's asking you to use your FB or Gmail account as your account for the site. I just gave them the Gmail I use for spam sites and it started right away.
