Ubuntu Jaunty and Android ADB

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

I have recently upgraded my ubuntu machine to Jaunty. When I tried to work with my G1 Devphone, I found out that adb doesn’t seem to find the device.

Luckily, I am not the first one to find it, and could find a solution in an Android Group :

cp /etc/udev/rules.d/50-android.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

/etc/init.d/udev reload

Just don’t forget to disconnect and plug-in the device again, and there you go.

Android 1.5 early look available

Android 1.5 - Cupcake

Published on the Android Google blog, an early 1.5 API release is available. The blog warns that certain APIs may change before formal release.

What is new?

For a complete list, please refer to this list (not a formal release notes).

Highlights are:

  • Soft Keyboard (finally!!!)
  • UI enhancement for most of Google Applications
  • Video Recording
  • Stereo Bluetooth support

Can’t wait till HTC release their formal Android 1.5 binaries, and I am certain Samsung will release Android 1,5 with touch screen only. Let’s wait and see.
