the USB driver for windows is available at:
http://dl.google.com/android/android_usb_windows.zip
It seems to work... I will update this thread with what I find.
Thanks for posting the driver!
I've tried a few things with adb, and so far I can't get an install to work over usb. I tried the following command.
C:\...\android-sdk-windows-1.0_r1\tools>adb install OperaMini.apk
579 KB/s (0 bytes in 278155.000s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/OperaMini.apk

http://www.android-freeware.org/tutorial/how-to-install-apk-files-on-android-device-emulator Had some basic info about the emulator, not sure what would be different for the G1.
The "adb shell" option allows you to access a shell on the phone over USB, which is really great but it appears you don't have root privileges. Any ideas on how to obtain root priveleges? Also, is there a command to install from the android shell? When i cd to /sbin i get access denied. I'm trying to figure out some kind of way to invoke an install either from the device or over USB.
I have the same problem... working on it now...
I don't know about the USB installs, but it seems to be something with the APK as well. I also have the OperaMini.apk and it does nothing. I downloaded the iTunes remote via the G1 and it installed just fine without getting a PC involved.
It looks like you have to put the phone into a "Debug on USB" mode to use ADB. It's working for me now.

So you were able to install the opera mini apk through adb with no trouble? I got the error listed above and did have debug mode on
Thank you dagentooboy!
Can someone explain this for this not so savvy person?

I think that is caused by an issue with the the AndroidManifest.xml file within the APK having to do with going from "beta" to "live" Android. The same reason most of the apps were pulled from the store. I don't believe it takes a major change to make it compatible, but it's fully compiled so, unless you have a decompiler, I think we may be out of luck on that particular one. I have installed other apk's successfully using the same method.

ADB is the Android Debug Bridge that comes as a part of the SKD. I don't think it was really intended as an end user tool. It has to be called from a command line. I know people have built basic UI's for it for file manipulation when the SDK was the only thing out there. If a better solution isn't found shortly I think we'll see one be made, or else I'll make one myself. In the end it seem to make a big difference of what you're trying to install some things work and some don't, there are some differences between the beta SDK and the G1.
For any developers out there, you can also access the ADB/DDMS feature through the Eclipse IDE, it provides a somewhat simpler graphic interface and is a really easy way to get screenshots. Has anyone tried just typing su through the ADB command prompt to see if it will switch you to # ?

the su command and sudo su returns "no permission" or "access denied" or something like that. That is also the same message i get when typing arbitrary commands that shouldn't be anything. And like i said earlier, /sbin along with many other directories are inaccessible. Hopefully someone will find a way to access the root account on the G1 pretty soon.
yes... must... have.... root...
Also a normal shell would be helpful esp when looking thru /proc/ for information.
Please help (ahhhhhh)
Okay So I am pulling my hair out here... I just booted android on my Vogue for the first time, everything works great, voice calls and sms.. But I can get a Inet connection but I am using Cricket not sprint so I added the username and password lines in default.txt and can connect, but Cricket uses a proxy for all http connections. So I found this article http://fggarcia.blogspot.com/2007/11/setting-up-proxy-for-android-emulator.html , which basicly says to use the adp app that comes in the sdk to add some lines to make the proxy. NOW, here is my problem... I can not for the life of me get my come (in windows or linux) to see my vogue while its in android..
In windows it does not appear ANYWHERE in the device manager... So I cannot install the driver, and in Linux it doesnt make a blip in dmesg..... USB debugging is marked and so is use adb....
It does charge when plugged in to the comp running linux.....
Can anyone please help me... And thanks to DZO and everyone else for there hard work on this project..
check too make sure your Android isnt listed under usb mass storage devices in device manager.
Ya USB isn't possible on Vogue yet, I just extracted data.img and added the proxy that way, but it still doesn't work. My Problem is I need all connection to use the proxy wap.mycricket.com:8080. I am not trying to be cheap or anything like the tzones thing for tmobile. Its just the only data plan cricket have use this proxy. So any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.
my computer already had a driver installed and when i try to update it with this one it says there is no better match for my hardware
anyone got a solution for this
Im really sorry to bump this old thread up but i need the r3 drivers and i dont know why they are nowhere to be found on the official page... i think its a region lock thing...
Windows Mobile 6 SDK refuses to uninstall. I had previously installed MSVS 2008 and Windows Mobile 6 SDK. I, apparently, did not uninstall the SDK, but did uninstall MSVS. I reinstalled VS08 and tried to repair Windows Mobile 6 SDK. The repair would almost complete then an error would pop saying that the Cellular Emulator is in use on COM4. I uninstalled the Device Emulator and VS2008 and this error persists. I don't think that I have anything running on COM4 and I have no way of checking. Please help. This is driving me insane.
Try uninstalling from the safe mode. Also, use Revo Uninstaller as it can clear out leftover regkeys and files (best to run it from the safe mode as well). Finally, get the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility to remove any leftover MSI databases of VS/SDK/etc. Reboot.
Btw, Process Explorer can help you track down and close those pesky processes, in-use files and dlls.

This is one of the reasons why I prefer using portable apps. No install/uninstall/conflicts. PM me if you're interested in a portable WM6 SDK.
Thank you for your help. The Windows Installer CleanUp Utility did the trick.
please close device emulator if it is running
i am not able to install wm 6.0 sdk, the error is
"COM4 is in use please close device emulator if it is running and then retry"
could some one help me doiong this...
thanks in advance...
thanks

Hi everyone,
my A510 is driving me crazy.
Here is what I’m trying to do:
I want to run Ubuntu and connect to it with AndroidVNC.
I emulate the Ubuntu with Terminal Emulator and it is running fine without any errors.
I go back to the Homescreen and open AndroidVNC. I fill in the necessary fields and hit connect.
And instantly I get this error message:
Code:
Error!
VNC connection failed!
Failed to connect to /127.0.0.1 (port 5900): connect
Failed: ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused)
I tried to connect with Jump and basically the same result. I tried different ports or “localhost” instead of I.P. I used a different emulator and no success.
I also tried different ways to run Linux but none of them solved my Problem.
The androidVNC itself is running fine. I can connect to my Laptop (TightVNC Server running on it) via WLAN and control it.
The only thing it won’t do is connect to the Linux running on the Terminal Emulator.
Do you have any ideas or hints on how to solve the problem?
Android Version: 4.0.3
Kernel: 2.6.39.4+ (stock)
Tablet is rooted – Busybox and Superuser installed
Regards
Rix
Found this interesting and tested it on my A700.
The vnc password is "ubuntu" even if you set a different one on first start.
In the terminal window must show up the line "New 'X' desktop is localhosr:0" after you entered the screen size.
Now I can connect via VNC. I use "ubuntu" as nick, password and username. IP is "localhost".
Hope these few hinty may help.

Thanks for your reply.
I have reset my Tablet to factory settings and rooted it again.
Installed Terminal Server and AndroidVNC. Emulated Linux and again the same result.
I don't know why it does not want to connect to the localhost.
My settings are exactly as in the description(s).
Did you use the image provided by this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid ?
This worked for me, even if the result is not very usable. Must figure out, how to use a different window manager, the default one is missing some graphics and has problems with the launchbar icons.
Tried this one as well. No success.
I just don't get it. The device is properly rooted with the "one click" version. Root check tells me it is rooted.
Busybox is succesfully installed. The Linux is running in the emulator but i just can't connect to it.
The strange thing is:
The error message is the same, whether I fill in the fields in AndroidVNC or not.
It absolutely refuses to connect to 127.0.0.1 or localhost.
Really frustrating....
Did you check if the vnc server is really running?
"ps -a" should show a "Xtightvnc" process.

OK. I don't know why, but all over sudden it works.
The only thing I need to do know is install a VPN Client using IPSec. Challenge accepted.

Thank you very much man!!! i knew it was a simple thing. IP "localhost" PW "changeme".
I killed myself looking for this answers. Kali installed and running on VNC.
Before I updated to 5.0 I used WiFi Tether Router and that allowed me to tether with my unlimited data and it would be reported as phone data instead of tether data.
Unfortunately ... Unless I just failed at rooting somehow?... My other root apps work fine so I doubt it is that...
I have emailed the dev and he is working on it (but it is a holiday so it most likely won't be fixed until next week and I need tethering when I am at my dorms because my internet is really really slow at my dorms)
Does this app still work for you guys.. or have another one that would work for this?

There's a workaround I use that doesn't require an app. Well, it only requires one at first.
Download SQLite Editor from the Play Store, and navigate here:
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
Select "global" and add a new entry to this called: "tether_dun_required" with a value of 0. Then go to your APN settings and change the APN type to either IPv4 or IPv4/IPv6. Reboot.
i use pda net
usb tether
hides data well

Yes this does work. I've done this for over a year on many devices
I copied this from another post on this site (sorry I can't give credit now b/c I didn't copy the actual link), but here are the non-root option where you can adb a command to enable tethering on t-mo.
Option 2 (no root required)
An alternative that does not require root or the SQLite Editor app is to connect your phone via USB to your computer and execute ADB shell commands. To use ADB shell:
1. To unlock developer options on your phone, go to Settings > About Phone and tap "Build number" seven times.
2. To enable USB debugging on your phone, go to Settings > Developer options and check “USB debugging”.
3. Download and install the Android SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html.
4. Download and install the Nexus 5 USB driver from http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html.
5. Modify the provider settings for T-Mobile.
a. Open a DOS prompt and navigate to the “platform-tools” directory in your Android SDK installation (e.g. “C:\Development\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\platform-tools”).
b. Execute adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/global --bind name:s:tether_dun_required --bind value:i:0.
c. To verify the entry was successfully added, execute adb shell content query --uri content://settings/global --where "name='tether_dun_required' AND value=0".
6. Change the APN settings to use IPv4.
a. Go to your Android’s main Settings.
b. Under Wireless & Networks, go to “Mobile Networks.” You many need to hit “more settings” to get to this option.
c. Tap on Access Point Names.
d. Tap the selected APN.
e. Scroll down and tap APN protocol.
f. Tap to select “IPv4” or “IPv4/IPv6” for the protocol and save the settings.

first you are going to need to get 2 APK
The first one is com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherX_1.0.40152940
The second one is Google_base.apk
Then you are going to put your Android 9 version into developer mode you need to allow USB debugging and select USB configuration to any protocol such as media transfer protocol
When you did that you can sideload your two APK files when that is done you are going to need an app on your mobile phone called called remote adb shell. Find out the ip address of your box go to network and ethernet and you will find your ip adress. Go to your phone open remote adb shell put in your ip adress and 5555 on the second line click connect . Now you have two possibilities either remove the current launcher or disable it if you want to keep it
issue the following command
pm uninstall –-user 0 com.google.android.tvlauncher
if you want to reinstall the old launcher the command is as follow
cmd package install-existing com.google.android.tvlauncher
Go back to your android TV and you should now have the google tv launcher , as a side note some countries might need to use a VPN to make it work properly although it was launched officially cheers.

Im having a hard time finding "google_base.apk". Thanks to Mattc001 for attaching the xlauncher 1.1.11, I couldn't find that version, only 1.0.xx so ... yes your right, there should be some homework needed to be applied, it sure helps though when the files or "requirements" are attached. For one, it's trusted that the software used is the trusted one from the OP. Secondly, ... just revert to one.
@Mattc001 Could you please elaborate on the "google_base.apk" ... where to find? Is it under a different title name vs. file name? I'm really interesting in your findings. I just recently acquired a TCL with Android TV or maybe its Google TV and would really like to take advantage of tweaks, mods, and things to better enjoy the experience and boost performance.

Why not ? Do you know how to sideload apks ? make sure you are in developer mode and select usb configuration to MTP
Instead of Google_Base I added another version "com.google.android.katniss_6.12.20221010.3-14001602_minAPI24 (armeabi-v7a, x86) (nodpi) _apkmirror.com" Apparently this is it. Everything works but I have to be on VPN USA all the time because otherwise Home or the tab for you - it does not appear at all and I have an error. There is a chance to bypass the need to use vpn from the USA for the home tab to work? Thanks
