I am trying to use my pinephone, with build 318. In the past i would just set up ssh, and use that, but I guess things have changed, and now I have to use adb to set up various services or something. Actualy, i dont know that, or care, but I would like to learn how to set up, and use adb to communicate with my device.
my PC is a Lenovo thinkpad with Ubuntu Mate 18.04 (linux) installed.
I dont know anything about adb, I have never used it. I dont know about setting up virtual devices, or what that even means. I want to be able to communicate with my phone, via adb, and learn what I can, and cannot do with adb.
I have installed adb with the command sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
and have version
$ adb version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.39
Version 1:8.1.0+r23-5
Installed as /usr/lib/android-sdk/platform-tools/adb
do i have to enable debugging on the pinephone / ubuntu touch? if so, how do I do that?
$ adb devices
List of devices attached
(lists no devices)
I dont know what Im doing, and I dont know what to do next. yes, I ran
$ sudo adb start-server
adb server version (41) doesn't match this client (39); killing...
- daemon started successfully
is there a good tutorial for a total newbie? what do i do next?
