i keep hearing about adb(android debugging bridge) and im not sure what it does or why you need it. could someone tell me?
Not being rude but maybe if you google android adb you might learn something? Also on the dev forum i'm sure there is a summary in one of the sticky topics...

i tried looking on youtube but all i found was tutorials on how to do it
In a non technical way of describing, its a way of acessing and reading and writing to the android file system. You use it to send commands through command prompt. Some examples are formatting or making partitions, flashing recovery manually from the computer, running commands to find out certain things about the phone. Hope that helped some..

Like I said I already tried that. And red the post title, it doesn't say "can someone tell me to use google" if a google search fails then xda q&a is the next option

It isn't Google that "fails" its that you're not refining the search to give the best results and it takes less than 5 minutes to do just that but you're not asking for a tutorial on how to use Google.
(Another ADB explanation)
ADB - Android Debug Bridge or Terminal Emulator (on an Android device) is a way of communicating with an Android phone. You can send "push", receive "pull" and edit files and install or uninstall applications as well as many other things that work deep down beyond the sparkly user interface.
Somewhat off topic but that is usually peoples problems with google searches. Google can find everything and anything. The problem is HOW people search for it. Its hard to even describe, but you just have to know the way to type in what your looking for to get the correct results. I try to tell my friends this but its hard to put into words how to actually do it.

Have been using the xda app from my phone and I can't seem to get the search feature to work well. I was looking for a list of Bloatware that is safe to remove. My Rom is rooted stock with a few extras but all of the Sprint crap is still on it. If someone could post one or point me in the direction of one, it'd be much appreciated

Please use the SEARCH function next time!!
List of apps you can possibly remove -- not all are safe
How to remove bloatware via ADB
Also, I believe JoeyKrim's latest stock ROM has all the bloatware removed.
Thanks for your help guys found the info I needed. If the search function were working properly wouldn't need to post for help. Tried a ton of keywords and returned no results...so sorry, psuedoremora didn't mean to waste your valuable time.

Hahaha.
Don't say it so defensively.
When searching, if you can't find what you're looking for directly on the site, then you need to use Google search -- enter your keyboards and add xda at the end, it'll search the keyboards, while looking for that site. That's how I found what you wanted.
P.s. I might have come off as a jerk, but believe me, it's better I say something now or at least in the manner of how I said it than have someone flame you worse than me, which is quite often. My request is a very polite way of telling you to search next time... but it's understandable.
Just wondering how I would go about capturing the ota update. My wife's phone isn't rooted and she is getting the update notification. I'd anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it

This may work well in the dev section also, for now at least. More traffic over there.

It's GREAT to see that there are users that know this. One wouldn't believe how many posts we get like this in Dev that are immediately replied to with "RONG SEKTION, Q A PL0X"
Anyway, I believe you need to use abd during the install, not sure though and there are people that can explain it better than I can anyway. +1 for the idea though

I'm pretty sure you need to do an adb pull while the update runs. But, wait for someone more educated than I to give you further instruction, as I have no idea in hell how to do it
quick google search yielded this.

Found this in the desire forum. Would this work for the incredible as well?
The OTA .zip files which are downloaded from a Google server are not signed the same way as the RUU "rom.zip" files - they use the app .apk manifest signing method. (manifests and certs a la "jarsigner").
If you are interested in looking at the process that HTC/Verizon uses for the OTA updates, you can get the URL for the OTA zip the following way:
Run logcat on the pc and accept the update on the phone
$ adb logcat > logcat_accept.txt
This will sit like this (it continues to log output into the output file) until the phone reboots. At that point, the adb logcat job will terminate, and the name of the zip file will be indicated in the logfile in a message similar to:
W/SystemUpdateHelper( 64): !!! REBOOTING TO INSTALL /cache/desirec-ota-104882.7b1e5cca.zip !!!
Then, take the name of the file and paste it on the end of android.clients.google.com/updates/partner

Enhanced Email on the market does this. I am unsure of anyone who has modded the Samsung apps to remove the requirements though.

Thanks I was really looking to use the stock app, I will test the other app you recommended.
You should be able to find a howto or premodded app pretty easily

I'm not home right now so i can give you a link.
I used to have a HTC hero running 2.1 and the email app never asked for a pin.
So after i rooted i upgraded to CM6 with Froyo and then CM7 running 2.3.4 and email app was requesting pin for my exchange work account.
So i did a search and found an email.apk that was modded for Android 2.2
I downloaded and push it via ADB. and it worked.
i can't recall if you neeed to be rooted?
So i'm not rooted at the moment with my E4GT so i haven't done it.
try doing a search on XDA im pretty sure you will find it.
Ok i did some search before submitting this reply. and found this

I think is the 2nd link i use... not sure... but you can give it a try
I couldn't download wildstang83 rom Desired Inc HD 3D Vsix. First I couldn't get the download to start I had an error that my javascript was not enabled. Now I can't even get to the Download Link.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Ok I'm able to get to the link but this is what I get when I click on it:
{"INFO":"failed posted hashcheck","SOLUTION":"please make sure you have javascript enabled for androidfilehost.com. Hit the back button, enable javascript and try again please. we promise we are probably not doing anything nefarious. maybe. no promises though."}
I even Enabled the Scripts in Internet Options>Security Tab and I also put the website on the Trusted list. Still nothing.
Are you downloading from your PC or phone?
That error means JavaScript is disabled in your browser. Google how to enable it in your particular browser. Are you doing it from a home or work PC?

Home PC. Like I mentioned I did Enabled the Scripts unless I'm missing something.
I'm starting to feel dumb now trying to download a simple file. Not like this is my first time.

Dont feel bad i get the same errors. Talked to stang and he said its the server and he cant do anything about it, and is unwilling to direct link his work on xda. In my opinion a rom you have to jump through hoops just to get, by a dev who is unwilling to distribute his work in a normal standard fashion, isin't worth being on my phone.

Every time I go into a web browser I get a voice telling me click and the web page I am on. If I click on a topic then it reads out-loud. How do I shut this off I have tried to disable the talk feature. I don't want to turn off Google voice for texting and I just want the web talking voice shut off. Can someone help me? Also I have two other questions that I would like to find. An easy way to root my phone and if it don't work out to unroot my phone with the factory stock ROM? And I am looking for an app that allows me to have all my emails and phone calls out calls and in calls logged into my calendar. I had a windows phone a few years ago and stumbled on an app. Was wondering if Android had a similar app? thanks so much, pretty much new to the android scene. I am glad to have found this site. Want to thank anyone who can help me out.

This thread will help you with flashing a custom recovery too. Let me do some more look up for you on the other questions.
