adb and Karmic

I still kept an Android Sapphire phone. It is fun to use it play with modified version of Android OS.

Recently, I upgraded my workstation from Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 and suddenly adb couldn't find Sapphire phones. A few things changes since 9.10:

1. /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules use ATTR instead of SYSFS

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}="0bb4", MODE="0666"


2. /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules needs a small change:

# libusb device nodes
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", MODE="0666"

By default, MODE="0664" and you need to change it to "0664".

Happy hacking!
