====== Setting up ADB ======

The [[https://developer.android.com/tools/adb| Android Debug Bridge (ADB)]] is a command-line tool that can be used to install, uninstall, and debug applications. It also may be used to transfer files and access a device shell. It also is a necessary component for [[sideloading_apps|Sideloading Apps]], [[screen_mirroring|Screen Mirroring]], and [[debloating_apps|Debloating Apps]].

The stock Keitais do not come with Google Play Services, or the Play Store. Also, the phones do not come with any built in way to install apps.

Keitais bought from online sellers will sometimes preload the phones with [[https://auroraoss.com/|Aurora Store]] or [[https://f-droid.org/|F-Droid]]. Otherwise, you will need to use ADB in order to install apps.

===== Setup =====

==== USB Debugging ====

First you will need to enable USB Debugging on the phone. Go into Settings>About Phone, in here click Build Number 5 times (It will say "You are now a Developer!"). You will now have access to Developer options which will be in Settings>More Settings>Dev Options. In here find USB Debugging and enable it. Now you may make use of ADB. 

==== ADB Installation ==== 

<note tip>
On your first interaction with the phone via ADB you will be prompted to accept the PC's fingerprint. 

Consider checkmarking "always allow" on this prompt. This can make it easier to debug the phone later down the line in a situation where you are locked out. However this seems to not persist after the phone reboots.</note>


=== Windows ===

== WinGet (Recommended) ==

Install [[https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli|WinGet]] (or an alternative but the command may differ). It may be installed from the Microsoft store within the [[https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nblggh4nns1?hl=en-US&gl=CA|App Installer]] package.

<code>winget install --exact Google.PlatformTools</code>
