adb with cm7

[newellj79]

Can anyone post detailed instrictions on how to setup adb with cm7. I never had it setup with eclair so please don't assume that I know anything. I really appreciate any help, I'd like to be able to run scripts. Thanks guys.

adb is ran from a computer and it doesnt really matter about what android version you are running on your device, but here is a link that might help How To: Set Up ADB/USB Drivers for Android Devices | TheUnlockr

As stated, setting up adb doesn't depend on the version of aosp you are running, however, there are some issues with CM7 and proper usb mounting. should be cleared up in the next nightly or two it appears. Let me know if you have specific questions though.

Thanks faceman. I ended up going with adb wireless. My understanding is that I can everything with that.

You pretty much can, and for that matter, the paid app Root Explorer will allow you to do pretty much everything as well without having to do code entry, just copy/paste and some permission changes. But just like ADB you must be very careful because you are playing in the danger-danger sandbox now.

I will be. Truth be told I haven't found a reason to use it yet. Any suggestions?

If you don't have a need to use ADB, no need to fuss over it. Really, it's only useful for those who are wanting to tinker and play, if just using the device in a stable manner is more important, you can stay away. Because as I said before, everything that requires ADB eventually is made flashable via CWR or directly installed via file manager. (Usually)
