[WFX] Android ADB 8.8

[wernerml@outlook.com]

SO.... I can't understand.... WHY
OH MY GOD...
WHY on EARTH this isn't the MOST DISCUSSED / IMPROVED / UPDATED feature on this entire FU*********ING (stuffed of douchbags NERDs) Android world?

can anyone explain it ?
WHY on EARTH are people using /COMMAND-LINE ADB for copying files still ?
I can't understand it....
It stopped working here.... I'm sad....

(I wrote this on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62579986 since this tiny forum/thread seems pretty much dead...)

Also, the BEST PROGRAM OF ALL ---> Beyond Compare stopped working too...
I used like 20 times a day, to synchronize my PC with my Android (it's BY FAR, the MOST USEFUL TOOL OF ALL)
I think it's a Driver issue.... (I have to put the blame on Motorola and Windows then....)

So, dumb question.

I installed Total Commander and I installed the plugin via TC's plugin manager. With my phone plugged in, I don't see any UI about the phone.

How do I navigate to it?

[wernerml@outlook.com]

it's so dumb, I know...
There's no support, no instructions...
I had to search and try about 2 hours to find it too...

It's under: Network: ADB

It's under: Network: ADB

I don't have that option. I have:

• Network Connections...
• Disconnect Network Drives...
• Share Current Directory...
• Unshare Directory...
• Show Admin Shares
• ----------------
• FTP Connect...
• FTP New Connection...
• FTP Disconnect
• FTP Show Hidden Files
• FTP Download From List
• PORT Connection To Other PC...

And if I go to "Network Connections..." and browse the network, there's nothing ADB-related.

I do have Motorola Device Manager installed. Do I need to uninstall it first?

That didn't help. Still doesn't show up in the Net menu.

What version of Total Commander do you have installed? Maybe the plugin just doesn't work in recent versions...

Not the Net menu, but the Network neighborhood (from drive button or drive combobox)...

why when upload build.prop i get a "Error uploading file!"?

Hi everyone !!
I'm stuck with a TC 8.01 x64 version on which I installed the ADB plugin...I get the android icon on "network neighborhood", it opens "settings" an "connect to device" links. But while the first one works, the "connect" link opens a message box asking me "device IP and port". Of course no ADB device appears on the device list. Samsung drivers updated with latest ones (2014). Windows 7 64bit sp1 on a Intel i5 processor. Replies greatly appreciated

alec966: Do you have enabled "Android debugging" on your device?

Wow, this version is outdated since 3 years, you my update for free ...

[alec966]

Ok, I had some suspects about the outdated version, so i installed the plugin on another pc running win10 and TC 8.50, but no better results. The phone is a Samsung S4 mini and unfortunately i get no function about "usb debugging" (just like i had on previous models such as S Advance...).
Still the same message (the box asking device IP and port) and still no ADB in the device list. It was worth trying
Thanx anyway

[alec966]

SOLVED !! Found the usb debugging function, a sort of easter egg... (on s4 mini you've to tap 7 TIMES on "build number" in the settings menu to have it enabled.) Now it seems to work

alec966,

Just like on every other Android phone ever made.

That'd be pre-ancient history.
