Logcat advice

I know there is a sticky but i didn't want to sully that post with something as purile as this request. Anyway i have no working touchscreen at all - not a software fault but rather a broken screen. I also now get force closes when i try to make a phonecall, enter the market or Gmail and try to play music- this is a new fault that i want to investigate as i still use the phone as musiv player. I can only rely on nandroid backups because when flashing a new rom it asks you to 'touch the google-guy' (not verbatim what is said) which i can't do.

Therefore i cannot type adb logcat in the terminal emulator. This means the only option to use the SDK. So far i've:

1) Downloaded the Java developer kit that the SDK required

2) Downloaded the Android SDK and the first two options.

a) Android SDK Tools, reversion 10

:huh: Android SDK Platform-tools, revision 3

I can find adb when going through C:\Windows etc. WHen i try opening in that it opens, flashes text and closes. When i open command prompt and type in adb logcat it says waiting for device - but displays nothing.

So i'm sure there is something very basic but i can't find instructions anywhere (the sticky ones aren't particularly extensive!)

I also can't get the Android SDK working on Windows. Fortunately for me, Linux (Ubuntu) is my main system and I don't have any type of problems here :huh: I recommend you to install Ubuntu on your computer to do your android developing/hacking. Just download the android sdk from google, install platform-tools and run adb.

BTW, can't you "touch the google guy" with the trackball?

u dont need the sdk to use adb, just download a recovery img zip that has fastboot and adb inside and use that or if you really want to use the sdk then try download a linix vmbox see if that helps.

Finally got round to getting this working.

I'm not entirely sure how to get a full logcat, so this is just the initial part (still has a nice few errors).
