> Smarter guide for smarter life

I've tried to google for a simplistic guide, but the simplest and easiest I have found is this. But it's long winded and can be quite time consuming to follow. Therefore, after experimenting with his guide, I tried to paraphrase and simplify the whole process. Thought would be nice to share out. However, you should be reminded that this guide is not thoroughly tested since I've only tried it with Windows 7 and HTC Magic, therefore, the original instruction set is still relevant.


This tutorial works for Windows 7 (64-bit) personal computers. However, follow the instructions at your own risk.

You must have: 
1. HTC Sync installed, functioning on both your PC and Android.
2. Windows 7 machine.
3. An Android phone.

The steps:

1. Download the Android SDK from www.android.com

2. Copy < tools > folder into C:\ drive and rename it as < android >

3. Plug in your phone, right click My Computer -> Device Manager -> HTC Phone -> right click for Properties -> Details tab -> Compatible Ids. Confirm the following three is found:
  • USB\Class_ff&SubClass_42&Prot_03
  • USB\Class_ff&SubClass_42
  • USB\Class_ff

    4. Once confirmed, go to Driver Tab -> Update Driver -> Browse my computer for driver software -> Nagivate to android sdk folder your earlier downloaded -> usb_driver -> android_winusb. Select < Include subfolders >, then click Next. Click Finish.

    6. Your computer should prompt you for a restart. Reboot your computer and then connect back your android device (make sure it's in usb debugging mode).

    5. Now we need to check whether your adb interface is working. Open command prompt, then navigate to android folder you've created in step 2 by typing < cd C:\android >. Now, type < adb remount > and press enter.

    6. If you see "daemon started successfully" or "remount succeeded". You're golden!

    7. Now type < adb shell > and hit enter. If you see a "#" sign, you're golden again!

    8. Your phone is now Adb ready!

    Now, your PC is both Adb and HTC Sync ready. To alternate between the interface setup, setting the default connection between your phone and PC:
    1. Simply plug in your phone and go to Device Manager under Android Phone, right click Android Composite ADB Interface to choose Update Driver Software... -> Browse My computer for driver software -> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer -> check Show compatible hardware. Now you can see two interfaces: My HTC or Android Composite ADB Interface. 
    2. Choose your preferred interface and click Next, then Close. Restart your PC.
    3. Now you have just set your default interface!

    For those never heard of Windows, please go the where sunlight usually shines in...that's windows.

    But Windows 7 doesn't mean 7 windows, it's Microsoft's successor to Windows Vista operating system.

    As I'm current user of Windows 7 beta so it is strongly recommended for everyone who knows to play with Windows to download the beta to test, or even use as primary operating system.

    If you born after Jan 24 2009, you still can get it through various sources like torrent...

    Ask a window cleaner to clean up the mess if you break your windows...if you good enough not breaking it, it will break itself on August 1, so be prepared.



    Tired of WindowsMediaPlayer or found nothing special on iTunes8. Then try the newly updated Zune Software. No Zune? No worry. There's much more features you can use other than sync with Zune MP3 Player!

    It's not the ordinary media player, it's un-ordinary. IMHO, it's much more user friendly than other media players. With clean interface and easy navigation, you can get to your collectiosn in breeze!

    Some of the features included Mixview and a nice Now Playing interface. Mixview enable you to discover related musics. The Now Playing mode displays photos of the artist of current playing song in a nicely designed hue. And you can get access to marketplace to preview millions of songs, or if you have a zune pass for $15/month = unlimited download of songs!

    Let the photos do the talking...

    Mr. Google, whose motto is "Do no evil" is acting pretty competitive. He's already the king of Search Engines, and he's involved in email services, word-processing softwares, maps/navigation, virtual world, and just two days ago, he released a beta version of web browser called Chrome, seeking to get a fair share (presumably) from the dominating Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 3.

    What's special about Chrome?

    It's simple in design.
    It has simple userface.
    It imports both IE7 and Firefox 3 bookmarks and setting.
    Another special thing is, it's light! Its size is tinier than Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer!
