Hey guys I know I have posted some other similar programs, but hopefully this will raise the bar on how people use Android Debug Bridge.

So To start off, this program will not root any phone, but can easily break a phone if used improperly.
Secondly, If you need to ask what a button in the program THEN DO NOT USE IT!
I will only answer questions if they involve drivers or programming bugs, NOT for something like "What is Sync?" because If you do not know, then you do not need to know now.

SEE LINKS BELOW FOR MORE RECENT UPDATES!

This program has some built in ADB functions:
Rebooting- Recovery/Bootloader/Fastboot.
Sync from a folder (If you don't know or have to ask do not use!)
Use logcat
Start up a shell instance (With root if possible.)
Remount (Needs root also)
Flash(Recovery/Boot.img)
Root SOME devices(Using Bin4ry Script Credit to him)
Auto Download Root script
adb shell built in now
cmd shell built in
automatic updates
push files
install apks
get misc system information
Download ODIN for Samsung devices
Detect HTC device correctly for once lol
Application Manager
ADB Learning Center (Under Construction but not beta)
4.0-4.3 Backup Manager (Using adb backup NOT Nandroid)
0Nandroid intergration
Build.PROP veiwer (Soon to be editor too!)
Free device ram and kill background process

MORE TO COME!

___________________________________________________________________
Also a BIG thing for this program is the ability to install ADB and Fastboot into Windows as a command in Command Prompt.

This would allow one to use adb as a normal command from CMD.

E.G "C:\Users\Lab\>adb shell"
Instead of having to CD to C:\android\and all that.


Download the program: Version 5.0.2.26:New Download link[/COLOR]






As far as the newest huge feature in ADBGUI goes, the Application Manager is to be considered Pre-beta and should be used with extreme caution.
Requirements for the Application Manager:
> You need root
> It only works with 3rd Party (Downloaded from google play or other source)
> It does not work with all devices and has some major bugs.

Come on guys give some feed back!

Well enjoy!

About ClickOnce:
The core principle of ClickOnce is to ease the deployment of Windows applications. In addition, ClickOnce aims to solve three other problems with conventional deployment models: the difficulty in updating a deployed application, the impact of an application on the user's computer, and the need for administrator permissions to install applications.
ClickOnce-deployed applications are considered 'low impact', in that they are installed per-user, not per-machine. No administrator privileges are required to install one of these applications. Each ClickOnce application is isolated from the other. This means one ClickOnce application is not able to 'break' another. ClickOnce employs Code Access Security (CAS) to ensure that system functions cannot be called by a ClickOnce application from the web, ensuring the security of data and the client system in general.


Some other thinks about ClickOnce:
My ClickOnce application is personally signed, so windows will tell you the publisher is "Unknown" but that is OK. It will install just fine.


[UPDATE Nov. 21st 2013]
Hey guys!!

Just wanted to share some news for all you linux users!

I will be starting a linux conversion for ADBGUI to be fully compatible with Ubuntu/Debian/Arch Linux Distros!

Is this ADB GUI project open source?

I think this is a really cool idea. Might also help get more users into ADB and willing to learn what things do. (sometimes it's scary when thinking of command line)

Shifted from the bottom of the rabbit hole

I will be posting the source on github but it is written in VB.NET. I am also happy to answer questions about the source code.

Required program for the source is
visual studio 2012.

Sorry, bro, I thought the same after releasing my first few works... Sadly, that how it seems to be.

To the tool: I think its awesome, haven't had any problems so far. Don't give up!

Just Updated to V2.6:

Added F-Droid for all you Open Source fans!

Also fixed a bug where applications would not install correctly for some devices(Still does not fix all of them)

Download: http://urgero.org/node/5

If you already have 2.4 or higher, just launch the program as administrator and it will prompt you to update, otherwise download 2.4 aat the link above to upgrade to 2.6!

Make sure you run as administrator and that all the files are extracted from the archive. Also make sure they are all in the same folder.

If you could post a screenshot that would be great help

    Well I just released 3.9 a little early for everyone, update should show up in a few minutes.

    Change log is in the application.

    A lot of big changes in this one guys!

    Tell me what you think!

    ***It is recommended that you uninstall any previous version of ADBGUI and redownload and reinstall the latest version.
