Can I use ADB without connecting over USB?

Question

Is there a way to use adb directly via bluetooth instaad of always via usb?

Answer 1

Personally, I use ADBWireless with my G1 on CM5 because I had problems with the USB driver working correctly between my computer and my G1. However, I had problems with this app in CM4 (to test against Android 1.6) on my G1. I was able to get it to work on CM4 with Remote ADB.

Note, however, that these connect to the device via ADB via wifi, not Bluetooth.

You'll pull up a command line on your computer and type adb connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5555 (x's being your ip address of the phone over wifi). You'll have to run this in the tools directory of your Android SDK, or you need to add your Android SDK tools directory to your global PATH variable so you can run adb from anywhere.

Your phone will show up as its ip address:port number in the list of devices to push your application to, just as if it was plugged in directly via usb.

Answer 2

I haven't tried this myself, how about trying ADBWireless. It uses Wifi instead of Bluetooth.

And you need to also keep this note in mind.

IMPORTANT: First of all u need to enable ADB OVER NETWORK option in phone. This option is present in latest roms like cm7.2 or cm9 or ics roms. If this option is not available u need to find terminal alternatives for this.
