Nice and useful, but this should be under themes and apps, not development.

I see your point but this can definetly be used for developmental purposes and its not an app for android its a windows app.

not really sure what you can develop with it.

Just the fact that you can sideload without root or having sideloading enabled. Is a development really. Just for example with this you can actually push the gingerbreak.apk to your phone without having sideloading enabled to obtain root.

you can do that with adb too

and the sideload wonder machine

thanks alot...I have root access but don't have sideload, because I do everthing with adb oO

Looks like just what I needed, huge THANKS!

Looks awesome. I wish that my PC (or my brain) wasn't broken.
I haven't been able to get ADB (of any kind, from any source) to run on my win7 64 bit machine...ever. I've had the SDK installed for a while now and have tried several times to get ADB working- today is no different.

Try the adb setup link in my sig!
But you don't need to know how to use adb to use this program

Edit: I got it. The link in your sig is what saved me. Checking this out now. Thanks!!

sorry but i dont have xp to try it and the authors website quoted in first post only says windows, im sure if there was more of a requirement he would have said so.
it runs on my win7 64x and that is usually the last supported windows so i would think xp is ok...

Doesn't recognize my phone. Droid Explorer does but this didn't. I already have adb installed on my win 7 64bit laptop.

did you point the program to where adb is installed?

Yes I did. Not sure why it won't recognize my phone.

Trouble getting hard adb root on Captivate GB 2.3.5 ROM
Android Commander 0.7.9.9 at http://androidcommander.com/ xda link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=597098
I have a Samsung Captivate running a modified stock leaked GB 2.3.5 One flash ROM that has been Fugu rooted. TiBU, Rom Toolbox and other Super User apps all work.
So this program by PanPiotr looks like just what the noob in me is after, and I'm sure a few others out there too.
Once installed the program seems to be fine. I have one problem that I can't seem to overcome. That is getting a hard or adb root on the phone. I have tried to follow the instructions of PanPiotr but I don't have a boot.img file in my nandroid BU as outlined in his FAQs. Only cache.img, data.img, sd-ext.img and system.img I can use unyaffs-windows to extract the files in these but the default.prop appears to be calling to be loaded from ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-samsung, which I can't seem to find.
I can modify the default.prop ro.debuggable=0 to =1 with root explorer but just doing it in the root doesn't help. I can't seem to find out which IMG file in my nandroid BU has or how to modify the default.prop file loader to get the ro.debuggable=1 to take or stay.
Consequently the Root Access indicator always says Root Access:NO
Any help would be appreciated.
TYIA
Bud

May have this worked out.
So I flashed a custom rom and kernel. Connected Android commander to phone and I have Root access:OK. Program works great. Thanks PanPiotr.
On the brighter side of all this while in recovery mode of the new kernel (CornKernel_UCKJ3_v403) I found a way of switching the toggle for debugging enabled to on if that kernel works with the rom I was on then that will work. It should so I'll give that a try and let you know.
EDIT:
So I just finished and this worked brilliantly. Hope it helps someone else.
Bud

WOW nice tool very needed
+1
please add option for screen shots for more resolutions
Or to manually edit screen size CUSTOM.
I am using this on my sensation and image is captured but due to wrong resolution rows are shifted
Nice app bro.

[Q] Is there a way to let my computer have root access to my phone?

I want to change the icons for all my apps and APK edit needs the .apk file. Unless there's an easier way to do this.

Adb shell
Would give u terminal
Then su.
Would give you root access
But you could also do ...
Adb pull /where/your/app/is/located

^ What he said. You can also use DroidExplorer but in my opinion it isn't the best thing to depend on.

For some reason I just couldn't get adb to work right. Every time I tried to launch it it screwed up and then closed again. I'll try DroidExplorer. If that doesn't help I'll try adb again. Thanks guys.

You have to use a command prompt. You don't just double click it to open.

Hm, when I tried to install DroidExplorer I got this:

Learn how to use adb or go home

you could use a root file explorer on your phone and copy all the apks to your sdcard, mount that to the pc, modify the apks, and then either drop all those back in with the same file explorer or make a flashable zip containing all of them...

adb pull /system/app/nameoffile.apk
or
adb pull /system/app/*
so much faster.
if you dont learn how to use ADB, you will find yourself up **** creek at some point, if you plan on doing ANY modifications/theming. especially theming, because if you screw up your framework-res.apk, you have no way of fixing it without adb access....
lets not take the lazy ass way out of it here. when you are doing anything to your phone, you should know basic adb commands. if you dont, you shouldnt be touching your phone

This page should help with learning the commands
>>HERE<<
This page is a thread where I had problems with adb on Ubuntu
>>HERE<<
And this is a page that Pirateghost recommends on getting you started with adb

Now, we have done about everything we can for at this point, short of coming to your home and doing it for you. Have fun, and be careful out there.

How to remove android and factory reset

Hello, I have looked all over for this solution
I have cm9 currently on the TP but wanted to restore it to its original state and then put android on it again. Any help?

ACMEUninstaller. Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147284

As stated above, and pay particular attention to the part I have copied below it will make it a lot easier.
New* Easy Way DOS Batch files (Optional) If you are unfamiliar with DOS, then you can now use a Batch file to complete the install or uninstall procedure from your PC. A Batch file(.bat) is a type of script, which contains a series of text commands. In this case it will run the above ACMEIinstaller3/ACMEUninstaller commands in DOS on your PC, just double click the file to run it. Gradular has created two files for use that you can Download here: installcm and removecm.
-To use these files make sure you have followed the instructions up to 'Step 4) Installation, On the PC'. Make sure your HP TouchPad is in WebOS Recovery mode and is connected via the USB cable. Simply download and run the files installcmorremovecm. to complete the complete the procedure.

[HELP] I replaced my HTC One Launcher And Now I Think I bricked It

please delete thread
deleted

good news is, is that your not bricked. Assuming you have twrp installed, go back into recovery, then advanced, then ADB sideload. On your computer (assuming you have sdk installed), open a command prompt and navigate to your platform tools folder (or where ever adb is located) - (cd C:\where ever the folder is ), then make sure you have a rom (viper or stock) in the same folder as adb and in the command prompt do adb sideload nam_of_rom.zip (may take a few minutes)

your cmd window needs to be in the folder with the adb tool, normally something like c:adroid sdk\platform tools navigate to this directory in windows explorer the hold shift and right click on and empty part of the window and select "open command prompt here"
