Galaxy S Driver for Android debugging with Eclipse

18/05/2011 6 comments

Don’t want to install Samsung Kies? Just want to debug your Android app at the Galaxy S? Here are the drivers!

Since I spent hours with searching for a simple driver to run my in Eclipse developed Android Application directly at the phone, I provide them here:

USB driver Galaxy S for win 32 bit (Has been tested with Win XP 32Bit)

USB driver Galaxy S for win 64 bit (Has been tested with Win 7 64Bit)

Just install the driver by running the corresponding *.exe file. Afterwards switch to debugging mode at your Galaxy: Settings -> Application -> Development; Tick the debugging mode! Finally you have to plug in the USB cable. Now “run” your application from Eclipse and it will automated chose your mobile as target!

Upgrading OS from Win 1.0 to Win 7!

I found a nice piece in the web. A guy upgrading through all versions of Windows since 1.0 in a VM. Games from this early Version (1985) still work on Win 7 (2009) :-)



Enjoy, Mavi

Installing Windows 7

What’s important for the Windows 7 installation

It’s important to prepare the hard drive before you install Win7. You should resize the first partition (normally C:\) to at least 50GB.  The pure Win7 has a size of approximately 15GB. Additional you have to calculate same space for frameworks, drivers and system software even though you normally don’t install that at the C:\ drive Windows does it automatic.

Further more you should think about some space for the hibernate file, whose size depends on your system memory (8GB with me). Some folks coming up with the idea to move the hiberfile.sys to an other drive, but that’s impossible because the file system driver is in it. In the early state of the booting phase you don’t have access to any system services so links don’t work either. [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.11.windowsconfidential.aspx]

It’s just possible to move the pagefile.sys to another drive. See How to move the pagefile.sys?.

I found out today during install process of Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate that there is not a lot of space available, but then it’s to late. It’s a lot of effort to change the partitions later my hard drive crashed once with it!
