What we say

Fantastically useful app! Nice one, Paul!

[Guest phunni]

Worth pointing out that it's root only.

Anyone have any instructions on using this on a rooted Desire as I couldn't make head nor tail of it!

[Guest logicalextreme]

Holy crap! That's impressive. Not sure I'd trust it personally though, I have trouble enough trusting Wifi to handle standard network tasks between computers, let alone something as traditionally delicate as playing with your phone's darkest secrets!

Edit: Screw it, I know I'm going to try it.

Hi all

I don't really want to make myself look stupid but what and how do I connect to my Streak with this enabled.

It says 'from your computer run adb connect 192.xxx.xxx.xxx

What do I use? I have tried IE and also Windows Explorer but nothing connetcts. Do I need to install something on my PC?

Could be wrong, but in the Android SDK tools folder, there is "adb.exe". Go run cmd from the start menu and drag "adb.exe" to the black box, press space and type

connect 192.xxx.xxx.xxx
