Moto 360 ADB, cable required? - Moto 360 2015

So from what i understand, the only way i can install new faces while using the iphone is going through ADB. Now i have also read (also suggested) that i need a special cable with it that i need to make out of basic components.
Is the cable easy to make? there is no way to use ADB to install faces via bluetooth?

Where did you get this information about this special cable?

i tried google, reddit ect. all i wanna do is install custom faces without using an android.

Did you try adb over WiFi? I think there is an app for that

[Q] IP over USB question

Hello,
I need to get IP over USB working on an A43.
Urukdroid 0.7 is installed. When I login via ADB I can see that g_ether.ko already exists in /lib/modules.
I can not use ADB to change the USB kernel modules because I am using that interface to do that work.
If I am successful at getting g_ether.ko installed don't I loose the ADB interface?
So,
1. Is there a serial port or another interface that can be used for the console?
2. Will I loose ADB or it available another way?
As I am writing this I am thinking it may be possible to attach to the device via Wifi instead.
Thoughts?
Moved to proper forum.
adb over wireless?
this isn't exactly the same, but close?

[Q] Pushing files via adb from one android device to another

As long as I have the requisite SDK files and a terminal on an Android device, or if I'm doing this programmatically in an app I'd develop, can I use adb to push a file from one device to another that's connected via USB? The devices will be a Nexus 4 and probably a Nexus 7. The N7 would be the sender, fwiw. I'm hoping that it's not required that the device executing the adb push commands be a computer as opposed to a mobile device.
I'm assuming that I can find a cable that's micro USB (if that's what it's called) at both ends to connect the two devices.
Is it possible to do the same thing via a Bluetooth connection? Or can adb only recognize a device connected via USB?

If you tried this you would need a usb otg cable for connecting the devices. But I don't think ADB client software exists on phones just computers. Why would you want his when Android has multiple better choices? Turn on NFC and tap the device backs together for example.

I have adb on my Nexus devices. I didn't even put it there, though BusyBox might have. It's in /system/bin. I can execute commands from a terminal. But I haven't tried it with another device. I'll get an OTG cable.
I'd use NFC or make one of the devices a ftp server, but that doesn't meet the needs of the project I’m working on. This isn't for personal use or convenience. I need to have one device send another a file within a certain physical environment that precludes those things.

Hello Maigre,
Have you finished your experiment with the OTG cable ? I would try to do the same kind of operation.
And if I add and USB cable to the USB-OTG cable, do you know if it's working ? (I found only a micro-USB male to USB female OTG cable, and I would use it with a USB male to micro-USB male cable).
Thank you in advance,
Greg

[Q] Connect Nook HD to a digital piano

Hi
I would like to connect my Yamaha digital piano to my Nook HD (I currently connect the paino to a PC via Midi IN/OUT to USB cable which works fine). I thought that rooting the Nook and running USB Host Check would provide the answer but the apps I have tried (Perfect Piano being the most appropriate) don't recognise a device as being connected.
I am sure there must be a way and would very much appreciate any help. Running a cable to my PC each time I want to record something is driving me crazy.
Maybe this could help: http://www.musicalandroid.com/1/pos...o-record-sound-with-your-audio-interface.html ?
According to this: http://www.mikrosonic.com/rd4-midi-android These kinds of things work best at least 4.1.x but 4.2+ would be better. Might need to try a custom rom as well then.
I've not had any experience with this stuff, just found some info for you. Hope it helps!

Thank you very much for the info - it all looked very promising.
USB Audio Recorder won't detect the piano when connected using the midi IN/OUT cable, it is looking for a sound card.
I am thinking that it may work if I connect it via the headphone socket.
Strangely enough if I don't have a Jack to USB cable to hand - but I have ordered one as it must be worth a try!!
Many thanks again for your help
No problem. Let us know if you figure it out in case someone else is looking for a similar solution.

Just to let you know that the cable didn't work! damn!
I have found USBHostSwitcher.apk on one of the forums here, which looked like it would do the trick.
I have downloaded it from a couple of locations but APK Installer comes back with an 'unable to parse' error message.
It either doesn't like my Nook, or the Android version, or ME!
The quest continues.
Thanks again for your help
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9903887/Apps/USBHostSwitcher.apk
Found this on a Nook HD site and uploaded to my Dropbox and tested it. Installed fine for me. I don't have any use for the app, just tested to see if it installed correctly. If it still fails again, then you need to switch browsers or download on PC and transfer over.

I have downloaded the file from dropbox to my PC and copied it across to the Nook.
Unfortunately I still get an error message 'There is a problem parsing the package'.

Make sure you have the right drivers installed.
Plug in Nook with USB Debugging enabled
Put USBHostSwitcher.apk into the folder you unzipped with the files for adb.
Open CMD Prompt and change directories to the adb folder
Run:
adb install USBHostSwitcher.apk <enter>

Installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot version 1.1.3.
Whilst I can access the Nook from the PC no problem, ADB can't find the device.
Other people seem to have had the same problem - none of the solutions seem to work.
In fact at least one of them caused problems with Windows reporting that there was a problem with the Nook connection.
I have had to restore my PC to a position a couple of days ago to undo the problem.
I have installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot again but it still can't find my device.
Are you running a custom rom like CM or just whatever comes on the Nook?

View/Control Android device from PC (without ROOT)

Hi all. What I need is a way to control Android device (s) from PC via Wi-Fi. I found a lot of apps (and Desktop programs) to do it, but I didn't found a way to View OR control the Android device WITHOUT ROOT. I work on the company which asked me to find a way to do this without root with their Android devices. After googling a lot I started to think that where is no way to do this, because either way I need to root them . Is it true or maybe there is somewhere an app which could do this? It doesn't care if it's paid or not.
I have downloaded and tester these apps:
MyMobiler - Doesn't work because when I restart Android device, app doesn't start WiFi, just keyboard mode only. I need that when the app starts it should run itself and start WiFi automatically.
VMLite VNC Server - Don't know why but it didn't worked for me. Just cannot start server from the browser.
Thank you for any responses and appreciate any help.
What error messages do you get from vmlite vnc server? Make sure you enable USB debugging. We have tens of thousands of users using our app, and your device should work.
Well, actually now I tried to launch VMLite VNC one more time and IT WORKED (don't know how, because earlier I tried it and I was unable to enter to VNC Viewer in the Browser). So yeah, in this case it works perfectly now, but I just realized, that I have no way of connected more Android devices. Because what I need to do is to connect multiple Android devices to computer with USB (as I understand it's required for the first time) and when use it with WiFi. For now I see that I only capable of connecting single Android device with desktop program and everytime I want to connect to Android deice from computer, I need to connect it via USB (where is no way to save Android devices to use it any time I want to via WiFi). Or am I wrong? And it is a problem because in my company all Android devices are far away from each other. Anyway, thank your for such an awesome app, I really don't know how it is capable of connecting to my Android device WITHOUT ROOT (because I found like 10 apps, read a lot of forums, and every solution was with ROOTED devices, I am very interseting of the actual app functionality), but thank you.
You can connect to multiple devices using multiple USB cables. There is a drop down list to display devices, and you choose one by one to start the server. Alternatively, you can write some scripts to auto start the vnc servers.
There are quite some testing companies using our app this way to automate regression tests.

Can I get more information about it? Thank you.
Basically you can automate the starting process using adb command:
adb shell "am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.vmlite.vncserver/.MainActivity"
adb shell /data/data/com.vmlite.vncserver/files/vmlitevncserver

Thank you for this script (it's very cool, I didn't know this kind of stuff before), but it requires USB connection as well.
I googled a few things and found this app - ADB Wireless (no-root) on Google Play Store. Basically it connects ADB via WiFi and I don't need no USB cable and connection with it. But VMLite Android App Controller program on my Desktop doesn't recognize it (it requires USB connection). Can I actually connect Android device with PC with this method or I am missing something and there is no way of doing it with this method? Thank you (I promise, this is the last question from me, no more dumb questions).
I don't think it will work for you. You mentioned your android device will reboot, right?
If your device gets rebooted, you will have to use a USB connection to a PC. the ADB wireless app has same requirement.
Steps to get it working: (from ADB Wireless app page)
1. Enable USB Debugging on your phone.
2. Connect your phone via usb cable to your PC.
3. Run adb tcpip 5555.
4. Run ADB Wireless (no root).
5. Connect to the IP address.

What's right. It needs to connect my phone via USB. But I thought that maybe there is a way to automate this process, I mean maybe there is a solution to TURN DEBUGGING MODE between phone and pc programs via WiFi connection (not USB) and communicate with VMLite VNC Server program on startup. Either way, again, thank you for your software (app). I will say to my boss that we need to stay where we are at the moment. It's just awesome to have an app which doesn't require ROOT.

Marshmallow ADB Removed or Not?

I've seen some news spamming the internet that ADB was removed from marshmallow. Can anyone confirm or deny this for stock roms? I run CM13 so no stock roms to see. Wouldn't make sense for ADB to be removed.
What seems to have been removed is the on-device ADB binary. I discovered this myself, today, as I have an Asus TF300T which I regularly use with other Android tablets at work for debug purposes, that I over the weekend upgraded to 6.0. Much to my surprise, no longer am I able to adb from my tablet. I did some quick research on it, and found a few people posting about it, but no solutions as of yet.

USB debugging is for connecting a device to another device, ie an Android device to a PC. It does not, however, give an Android device the ability to run ADB locally to connect to another Android device. My situation is, I have a TF300T which is a tablet with a dock, the dock has an actual USB port and functions like a USB OTG adapter. I used to be able to connect other Android devices to the USB port on my tablet and, using a terminal emulator, run ADB commands to the external Android devices. Since upgrading my tablet to 6.0 however, I discovered that I could no longer perform that task. Some quick Googling turned up a couple of places asking about this exact function, and someone on stackexchange posted a question about that exact issue, however they never got any response.
Why Google felt it was necessary to exclude the ADB binary from 6.0 is beyond me. Sure, it's something that is probably rarely used by users, but for those of us that -do- use it, it's not cool that it's suddenly gone.
I wonder if it wouldn't be trivial to extract the binary from a 5.0 device and see if it would just work under 6.0...
Hi
did you find a solution? I'm on CM13 would love to be able to use my tablet as adb client again...

I suppose google removed adb from android, is probably because it poses security threats. I am doing a seminar on a paper published in 2017, called SMAShed. It can manipulate android sensor data with only internet permission. As a matter of fact, apps installed using adb are granted all permissions by the OS without notifying the user. You can find the demo at androidsmashed.wordpress.com/demos/ .
