Hey.
I need a wireless connection to use it, right?
And I can’t use a selfhosted hotspot, right? It must be a second device, like an external hotspot or a modem.
And I authorize that device to adb level, right?
So if my modem is untrustworthy, it could install malware on my phone?
Thank you for clarification.
That is a lovely analysis for this lowly thread of mine. Thanks again.
Thing is, I don’t trust my modem. Just on principle. It’s nonlibre software.
I’ll reread your posts in a while.
Right. The very thing I want adb for is, among other things, to install apps which Google arbitrarily declared obsolete (the api version declaration, I believe it is). I believe many good apps on F-Droid are uninstallable because of that. “This app is incompatible with your device” – no, you declared that it is.
And sadly – though that doesn’t seem to be Google’s fault – it still doesn’t seem possible to compile Android apps on Android, so I can’t just get sources, change the manifest, and recompile them and install them myself, to escape that.
But that’s for another thread.
