MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Rooted Newbie...what is ADB and other questions

Starharp · 03-01-2011, 09:09 PM

I've read the article. My NC is rooted using Autonooter 3.0 for version 1.1. I have Dolphin HD installed and the ADB wireless. I'm not understanding how I now use ADB wireless to say put Angry Birds on the NC, even though I found a link to download the AB apk to my laptop (and did that). (And I assume that the ADB wireless will help me "sideload" other things once I figure out what that is and how to do it). I see that the article says that Kindle books prefer to be stored on the SD card, so how do I tell the Kindle app to do that? And the article suggests using LauncherPro for changing the home screen. I gather that I need to change the home screen in order to get apps to show up on it, yes? Is LauncherPro available through the market? I found one there, but want to be sure I am downloading the correct thing.

I really am trying to understand and not be annoying by asking previously asked questions. I'm searching for answers and finding bits and pieces along the way.

Thanks again!
