Debugging/Installing apps on the G1 (Windows Driver)

plusminus

Hello Community,

On your G1, go to Settings Applications Development [X] USB debugging
Download this file: android_usb_windows.zip
Unzip it to a folder
Connect your G1 with your PC
When it asks for driver location choose the unzipped folder
You'll see sth like "HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface" on success
(Re)Start Eclipse
Your G1 should now be listed in the DDMS-Perspective under Devices
Go to the AndroidManifest.xml of your App and modify it to contain android:debuggable="true" in the <application ... >-Tag
Go Debug

Btw:
You can now install (signed)APKs via USB:

i haven't tried this yet, but is there a linux driver? i do all my dev work on linux so i'd like to be able to upload from there.

Got no linux but there might also be a special driver, because it handles the adb-connection to your device.

Does this allow you to use the adb shell on the device?

Basically I'm wondering if it gives you the same access to device and device files as the emulator gives you...

Yes you can use ADB but you'll need the driver.

Hmmm I continually get...

"USB Device Not Recognized"

If I try to search for the drivers and specify the location of the unzipped files it finds nothing. Or if I try to point directly to the "android_usb.inf" it says the location does not contain information about my hardware.

Anyone else ever seen this?

Hi,
I post this issue here and looking for help.
I followed the instruction to install android_usb_windows on my laptop. My laptop is running XP with SP3. For some reasons, installation is failure. System show "cannot install this hardware, there was a problem installing this hardware...HTC Dream Composite ADB interface". I also tried other laptop that is also running XP. It's installed successfully. I am wondering if one of system files is corrupt on my problem laptop. Any tips would be appreciated...

will this work with a standard G1 Phone or do i need to get it unlocked/buy a development G1?

Standard G1 is good, as the driver got released in octobre, when the Dev 1 hasn't been released yet for months.
