How to connect Android Devices on Archlinux via ADB (android debug bridge)

After you install the android SDK & Platform tools. (see my post about it here. ). Now try connecting to the real devices via Android Debug Bridge on Archlinux.

What is ADB? ADB (Android Debug Bridge) is a tool that comes with the Android SDK that allows you to control and interface with your Android device.

Okay on this post, i will try to connect 2 android devices.
1. Samsung Nexus S - (Android Phone)
2. Ainol Novo 7 Aurora - (Android Tablets)

1. Enable the USB debugging on The devices (System -> Developer Options)

2. First check the Vendor / Product ID.

$lsusb

Here the results:

Samsung Nexus S 18d1:4e22
Ainol Novo 7 Aurora 18d1:0003


3. Create Android Rules.

$sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
Per devices:
#ADB your devices
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="id vendor", ATTR{Product}=="id product", MODE="0666"
Also in fastboot the procedure is same as number 2 above, when you into fastboot mode then see product id/vendor id. Then add it on 51-android.rules
#Fastboot your devices
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="idvendor", ATTR{idProduct}=="id product", MODE="0666"
Here is my rules configuration for samsung nexus s and ainol novo 7 aurora.
