[TUT] ADB over WiFi
I thought some people might appreciate the instructions to get adb
working over WiF:
Type this in your terminal emulator on your One X:
Code:
su
setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
stop adbd
start adbd
(5555 can be whatever you want.)
Then check it with this:
Code:
getprop service.adb.tcp.port
When it returns "5555" then run this command in the terminal (or command prompt) on your computer:
Code:
adb connect 192.168.0.151
Obviously enter your device's IP address in place of 192.168.0.151. Your computer must have adb (duh!) and your phone must
be on the same network.
And you should be connected!
To tell the One Xto listen for adb on the USB port instead of TCP again, enter this into the terminal emulator:
Code:
su
setprop service.adb.tcp.port -1
stop adbd
start adbd
Or just reboot the phone.
And to tell your computer to use USB for adb instead of TCP:
Code:
adb usb
I would definitely use the USB cable to push large files or even small files that you really don't want to risk corrupting (partition
images you plan on dding, etc).
Very importantly, keep in mind, when your phone is listening for adb via WiFi, it's wide open... anybody that that
the adb installed and knows your device's IP address can access it without a password. Again, a simple reboot

Many custom ROMs and even some stock firmwares can change from usb to wifi in developer settings. Jellybean has this
function built in with android so you dont need root or run any commands from terminal

Pressing the button is thanks enough, it's frowned upon to dig up such an old thread with a new post.

So tell yourself to smile upon it; we're humans, not automatons; they were being polite, and that's a lovely thing to be in this
age - you're not compelled to "frown upon it". You know, "netiquette" is not law, and humanity is a lovely thing to see

It makes me happy to see some actual humanity around these stuffy as of late parts! It's at best troubling and at worse
ungrateful to have a policy in place that forbids a friendly human thanks". When someone feels the need to let that policy
actually change their own personal level of gratitude there is something very bad happening.
A button can in no way replace a real human emotion. It provides a very impersonal response with very very little meaning.
I know there's probably a policy in place around here forbidding disagreement or self-expression against something that when
looked at through other eyes is absolutely without meaning or need, but as a human I feel the need to stand up for my beliefs.
Thank you for your time.

AMEN!!!
God bless you my friend; the world's in a mess, and people are increasingly becoming entrenched in "the way it is" - well
not me. Who wants to "fit in" and just be passive and live as if they're "enduring" life? Some people will NEVER like you - I
found that is the case, and some people WILL NEVER have anything good to say. Well, that's up to them - for me, I AM
ALWAYS going to SAY thank you, and people can just dislike that all they want - it's how I am, and if they "frown upon it",
that just shows how lost they are, seriously.
BE NICE TO PEOPLE!!!!!!!
God bless you all
