Hello everyone, this is my first post here at androidcentral, so.. Hello world! Now lets get down to the nitty gritty. I have had my Optimus V since February , rooted and rom'd it a month later, and have been quite content with it until lately (Not that I'm displeased with the device at all). but I've run across some things that I need ADB for, and cannot achieve in the terminal emulator. Not an issue for most, however I am a linux user, and the drivers that I could find for the OV don't support anything but USB mass storage. So even though I got the android SDK working, it cannot connect to my phone. I was hoping that someone might already have the drivers I need, or would know how to write them. I am running Ubuntu 11.04.

Thanks for your time, and help! :-*

Welcome, or welcome back, or nice to see you come out of the lurkers closet!

What do you need adb for?

You can use ADB Wireless from the market, no need for drivers, and it works just like the normal adb, only over a wifi network.

Hi Jerry, thanks for the reply. I need adb for pushing /pulling files, I'm trying to make a Rom that's more suited for my needs, and it seems that I cannot do this with terminal, I keep getting a bouquet of errors. I feel that if I can get the device working in adb that I won't experience these problems. If I use the WiFi adb app, couldn't I just use an SSH client instead of the Android sdk? There are a few of the WiFi adb apps, which do you advise I use? and yes, I'm a lurker : D
