Hi.
I'm starting to read some tutorials about Android phone development, and
I'm amazed how limited I seem to be in the first steps, as:
1) I'm getting a lot of "error: insufficient permissions for device"
problems.
2) When running "adb root" as root (I'm using Linux) I get a message
that says "adbd cannot run as root in production builds" and the program
doesn't exit, so I open another terminal and connect with "adb shell"
and it seems to work, but then I cannot do specific things that require
"su" permissions.
I'm reading more tutorials and it seems I need to root my phone. Is the
operation of "rooting" the equivalent to "jailbreaking" on the iPhone
world? I thought really that the openness of Android was much better
than iPhone's, am I missing something? Shouldn't you be able to start
developing on an iPhone very easily and quickly?
I can't believe that Android devs are forced to go into the "unofficial"
way of getting unofficial ROMs to root their phones if they want to test
their creations in the phone rather than the virtual simulator.
I would be very grateful if I received some clarifications.
Thanks,
Andrés
