Great video, but in your description, to install the SDK using the Java links, I installed the JDK but the SDK install still thinks it's missing, and won't go any further, making me Cancel out. No idea what to do now...no SDK = no ADB commands :-(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lemonhead8890:
Alos agree great video and helped me do root in no time at all! However, like you I am unable to get the adb part of the video working. I followed your other video and written instructions to the "t", and I only got as far as..

"adb is not recognized as an internal or external command"

I got the Java JDK to install fine as well as the SDK with all the required installs you said were needed for it to work. I left out all others as I'm not really too familiar with adb is it is. I changed the path, and named folders and files exactly as you did in your video. However I could never get the cmd to show adb devices.

I know the original post stated that we should know how to use it before we try this, but after trying to do research on this for the past 4 hours last night.. I concluded I have no idea what I am doing wrong/nor how to do it properly apparently.

If anyone would be able to possibly give me some assistance that would be great :).

Is your usb debugging enabled on your phohne?

When you cd <path to platform-tools>, then type: adb.exe

Does a long list of commands scroll across the screen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] trginter:
Having the same problem. I see the long list of commands. But when I type "adb devices" nothing is listed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NightxFall:
I haven't tried it myself yet, but it sounds like you don't have the drivers properly installed.

Sent from my Ally (Cant wait to get rid of this POS and replace it with my S3 tomorrow!)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
That would be my guess. Put it in USB Debug mode, and plug the phone in, I think it auto-installs the ADB drivers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] trginter:
Hmm, the phone is in USB Debugging Mode and plugged in, nothing downloaded.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
What is the exact output when you type adb devices?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stupidchicken03:
Good to know root is avail :)

Will try this tomorrow after work :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DebianDog:
For those having problems with this, look up "how to add a path to the windows command line“. You should not have to CD to a directory to make a command work .

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lemonhead8890:
Yes, usb debugging was on when I tried to do this. I usually always just leave it on honestly.

I guess I should have been more clear about where I was at, but yes i did the

cd platform-tools .. enter.. then adb.exe.. and thats when I got the 'adb' is not an internal or external command. I dont know where I messed up along the way... :(. I feel pretty confident I did everything correctly.

However there was one difference i did notice. On the path stated in the guide it says system32 something then you list the path to platform tools and whatnot.... but mine had something /windowspowershell/ or something like that.

I went back to the start and deleted my drivers and reinstalled them but deleted the jdk and sdk for the time being.. Maybe ill try again soon if I can figure it out better. :confused:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] s197:
It sounds like you're not moving to the right directory. Check to see where your adb file is, on the new SDK it's in platform-tools but if you downloaded ADB from a long time ago, it's in another folder (I think tools, but it's been a while).

What I would do is navigate to your adb file from "my computer". At the top, under address, it will show you the path you need to type. For instance, for me, I open my computer, C: drive, Android folder, then platform-tools. So my path would be:

cd C:\Android\platform-tools

Everyone's path is different depending on where you put your files.

[Dell Streak 7] treefrog20012003:
I have a Dell Streak 7 WIFI and made a real newbie mistake that I have not made since owning a Moto Droid A855. I did not make a back up of the system while I was tinkering:(, didn't plan on doing custom roms, and now the unit boots up after a factory data reset but I cannot get it past the language selection. I was removing APK's that I did not need and obviously went to far. I know dumb on my part and I know better. Can anyone help? All of the links to the needed files seem to be gone or dead. Thanks!
[Dell Streak 7] treefrog20012003:

[Dell Streak 7] otnos:
Download the latest PKG from here:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Dell_Streak_7#Official

rename it update.pkg and save it to an external SD card.

Make sure your tablet is fully charged, boot into recovery mode.

Choose: Software upgrade via update.pkg on SD card

You should be back in business.
[Dell Streak 7] treefrog20012003:
Those links are dead but i found the files thanks to TheManii. Problem is the update does not go says it is up to date and I still cannot get past the language selection. I'm thinking I need to push the system image by ADB and see how that goes.
[Dell Streak 7] treefrog20012003:
Ok found the files thanks to Manii. Takes the system image, boot image and the restore image and flash them with ADB. Works like a charm.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkhopper:
While waiting for the on-board voice command app from Google bundled with Jelly Bean, I thought I'd check out the other apps out there currently in the Play store and here is my totally unscientific report.

I tried to come up with a list of queries that someone would use often, along with some fluff commands just to see what would happen. Your mileage may vary using any of the apps of course.

Assistant turned out to be the winner, followed closely by Jeannie, although it really could have gone either way since Assistant does things Jeannie can't do and Jeannie does things Assistant can't do.

Some other notes not mentioned in the sheet:

* Facebook integration was only partially tested because most of the "successful" results required their own custom FB app to be installed to your FB account. I didn't feel like cluttering up my FB, so I didn't completely follow through.

* I don't use Twitter, so this functionality wasn't tested. Many of the apps do mention Twitter in their respective pages in the store though.

* Some apps work directly with Evernote, some work directly with Tasker. I don't have either of these apps, so testing external app support such as this wasn't done.

I found many voice command apps in the store, but I'm sure I missed some. If so, please be sure to point them out and I'll add them to the list.

As updates to the various apps are released, I will update the report.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] retskrad:
I do find scrolling in such is smoother than previous versions of Android, but the micro lag is STILL here. I don't understand how people say its butterysmooth when its not even near the smoothness level of WP and iOS.

Jelly Bean is smooth in apps like the stock contacts list, call app etc, but web browsing is still a bit choppy, YouTube app is just as laggy, the same with Google plus.

I start to wonder if Android will ever loose this laggyness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackhand1001:
Cyanogen should help towards that once the source out. Cm9 is so much smoother than stock 4.04.

As far as iOS goes a lot of apps have that same stutter lag. The Facebook app is horrible on my moms work iPad 3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tokuzumi:
I agree there is a small micro lag sometimes, but it is pretty much a non-issue, so I don't worry about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InvalidUsername:
Typical Android fan comment. iOS is much another than Android and it's disappointing. I'd rather accept it and demand improvement than deny it and live with the lag...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] magicriggs:
You're grading your experience on a OS that's not even fully released yet. Smh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
I only get the lag in apps. XDA app is one. Facebook isn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LilChinchster:
Its not the iPad with the lag, its just the new facebook updates, I've noticed facebook get even more laggier than before.

I don't seem to notice the lag compared to ICS it's like... I dno... Buttery smooth? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick300:
What's this fixation with smoothness? Yeah iOS has "smooth" scrolling, but so what? You can't do even half the stuff we can do with Android.

Yeah you know what, the Mini runs buttery smooth, but it will never be a Ferrari. Bam!

On my Galaxy nexus "Jelly Bean" is not lag on YouTube, browser and on Google+, I don't even use google +, just tested once and it's not laggy..

Dolphin browser HD and Chrome is much slower than stock browser on my Gnex..

sometimes when I open the Google/google now app it's lags a little bit when I have some opther apps opened, but not any other lag..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike21pr:
I came from the iPhone 4S and although its very smooth, it still stutters / hesitates from time to time when performing certain actions, just like Jellybean. And dont get me started on the facebook app... iOS version is much more stuttery than Android version (GPU accelerated of course)

I came from the iPhone 4S and I consider that each has its advantages, but now that i own a Gnex with JB, general lag is not one of them on either side. Just as pleasing in my experience
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AdrianE46:
This thread reminds me of my youth. "mom, I got 98 in my exam" "why didn't you get 100? If other kids can, why can't you?". ****ing annoying.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
The "iOS is laggy too" argument from android fans is logically flawed.

iOS isn't 100% smooth, but it's certainly smoother than JB.

The main issue is not JB itself (on newer android devices like Nexus 7, JB and gapps are ALMOST as smooth as iOS on iPad3/iPhone4s), but it's old third party apps that don't utilize the latest improvements in ICS and JB (like gpu rendering) properly.

Because iOS has had good gpu rendering for 3rd party apps since its beginning, laggy iOS apps are a lot less common.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daewond3r:
I have no lag whatsoever. Not once have I scoffed or rolled my eyes at my phone after flashing bigxie's JB. Not sure what JB version you're running but maybe a complete/thorough wipe will help? Any apps hogging resources?

Edit: Is it just me or does it seem like data issues could be confused for "lag"?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smallsmx3:
Yup believe it...ios stutters just like android...only thing is android actually performs many more tasks than ios does...a shame really....all this time android has been focusing on real multitasking.....and alot of bling in animations and transitions.....after all tjis time it still outperforms ios...and JB is the first time in awhile that there has been software optimizations
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lowandbehold:
It is funny to me that the OP brings up the facebook app. Have you been living under a rock for the past 6 months? Facebook has been taking so much **** because their app ABSOLUTELY SUCKS. Please don't judge the OS off of a half assed app. Facebook sucks anyway...sellouts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1cewolf:
I think I can settle this argument fairly easily.

Is Jelly Bean's smoothness perfect? No. Is it a significant improvement? Yes.

Conversation over.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
iOS is not smoother than Android Jelly Bean...

My mom haves iPhone 3G S or what it is, it's old and really slow and laggy.

And brother and sisters have iPhone 4 S (new/old),

when I tested them them was not so fast or smooth as Jelly Bean..

also I have always hated iOS because it doesn't look so nice and always some problems with iPhone, battery draining, one speaker mutes and can't be fixed itself, goes too hot, etc.

Jelly Bean is another OS than iOS so why people here speaks about iOS? :D

for me Jelly Bean on Galaxy Nexus is not laggy at all, ICS was only little bit..

also WP is another OS, it's using less ram and cpu, etc. so it can may be smoother but it's not same OS as Android, if WP can run Android then it can't run it correctly because it's another OS..

Android is so smooth as it is and if apple fans doesn't like the lags on JB then use iOS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Paddington:
Same here. Google Now and Google search (since its integrated with Now) are the only things that lag for me on Vicious.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M3drvr:
Where is this lag you speak of in jelly bean? Especially in the browser! That was the first tging i noticed when i installed jelly bean, fixed any sort of lag or stutter in the browser that previous versions of android had. Ics wasnt that bad, but had stutter and lag in browser, but jelly bean fixed all of that. Anyone experiencing lag should do a full wipe n start over. Ive installed jelly bean on 3 of my friends nexuses and none of them have this lag.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InvalidUsername:
That is the single dumbest argument used by Android fanboys. I have Android right now, and I came from an iPhone 4. Please tell me how Android has "real multitasking" and iOS doesn't? On my iPhone, I could open up a song on YouTube, then launch another app, and I can choose to keep the song playing by clicking the play button in the multitasking tray in the other app. On Android, there is absolutely no way of doing this! So if Android does indeed have a better multitasking implementation than iOS, it is not obvious to the end user. Quite the opposite, actually.

Exactly. But then you have intelligent responses such as this one that are basically asking Google to quit focusing on smoothness. Jellybean is TOO smooth. Maybe they should even decrease smoothness slightly? :rolleyes:

Yep. Speaks for itself. I've basically been labelled an "Apple fanboy" on this site, because I ask for the improvement of Android and recognize its imperfections. Do I think it's a better OS than iOS? Why would I be using it if I didn't? Is it frustrating at times in its subpar user experience? Without a doubt, and it can all be blamed on the need to support MANY platforms instead of the limited few devices that iOS supports.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Even if jelly bean lags some of us are still on android. I wonder why is that. Things that make you go hmmmmm...

butter and jelly please...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] magicriggs:
I think we all are missing a very key point. The jelly bean roms that are out now are based on a developers preview. The source code is not even out and the official jelly bean release isnt out. Your grading a os that is a developers preview and a matter of fact it is pretty good still.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nick300:
Specially if you jailbreak it and start sideloading apps, the freaking think can't handle it. It gets all laggy, I've done it with my own iphone. It freezes.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tsnstuff:
There are always going to be hiccups no matter what OS you are running. iOS has always been the smoothest but it's not flawless. JB is a hell of a lot better than it used to be and it's right up there with iOS. But if someone develops crap, we are going to get crap.

Even if you consider iOS to be smoother, the fact that JB can be so smooth while running so many more things at once is pretty impressive.

You obviously have never used an android. I can surf the web , do anything while listening to music. I can dlna music to my xbox360 and my ps3 all while doing other things :D all with my choice of free or paid apps. Sorry on ios world that just doesn't exist. Unless you buy that Apple thing for a hefty price, AirPlay I believe or some thing like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
iOS 4 added limited multitasking through the use of software APIs that allow task specific multitasking to occur, such as music playback while the application isn't in the foreground, as long as the API is utilized. The difference between Android and iOS when it comes to multitasking is that on iOS only those task specific threads are allowed to be performed by applications when they are not in the foreground while Android allows for almost any function to be performed by an application in the background.

PS: Why does every thread about the 'smoothness' of a developer preview of an OS update have to devolve into a iOS versus Android rant?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
mfw dumb itards don't understand what multitasking is :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c0LdFire:
Being in an IT position where I deal with iPhone 4/4S's and iPad 2's and 3's all day I can say from experience that it isn't flawless. It's damn good, and I even used an iPhone 4 for awhile while I waited for the Nexus to come out last year, but it is NOT flawless.

Take Jellybean for what it is - a damn good improvement. I'd go as far as to say that from what I've seen so far out of Jellybean, it finally puts it ahead of iOS as far as responsiveness goes. Then again, for overall functionality I think the biggest turning point was ICS. As of ICS I feel that I can finally recommend Android to even non-tech savvy folks and have them adopt it as easily as they could iOS. Jellybean just sweetens that even further.

I think you should read this article:

http://www.pcworld.com/article/199528/multitasking_with_ios_4_is_horrible_apple_blew_it.html

If you try asking tech savvy people, it will tell you iOS is not doing any multitasking. I am not a tech savvy person but, I do research about the things I'm curious about. I even researched about the PROS and CONS of the Google Nexus before switching to it. With that in mind, I can tell you that a lot of tech articles are really saying iOS is not doing any real multitasking. You can also try searching an article yourself.

I would like to inform you again that this is an Android Forum. You're posting in an Android forum and you expect that you won't be treated as an "Apple fanboy" if you say (even not directly) that iOS is better. Yes, you are recognizing the flaws of Android. However, do realize that this is a Developer forum. A lot of awesome developers are doing custom ROMs, kernels, MODs, etc. to fix the flaws of any vanilla Android. This is what makes Android really interesting and I dare say better than iOS. I won't disagree that google's latest JB is without flaws but, using different kernels, mods, etc. will fix those flaws.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tranceph0rmer:
I don't know why Facebook as an app is being compared to judge the smoothness between android and ios.

The Facebook app for android is 6mb and frankly seems like a pumped up Web browser to me.....

Whereas on ios its around 20 mb when installed and is a lot better with caches and generally browsing.
