I have built a new microSD card image for BBBAndroid (bbbandroid_111514.img), and it is now available for download. Just follow the link at bbbandroid.org to download it.
In this build, USB ADB support is working just fine. I've been able to connect with the BBB using both command-line ADB and ADB through the Eclipse ADT under both Windows and Linux. You can push/pull files, install/reinstall apps, get logcat output, shell, etc. using the USB cable that came with your BBB board. If you want a root shell on Android, the ADB shell is the way to go. I changed the USB ID to 18D1:4E23 for the BBB device when BBBAndroid is being used. These are the same USB vendor and device IDs as a Google Nexus S. The reason that I changed this is to make life much easier for the Windows users. Each phone vendor provides their own drivers for USB ADB, and it was difficult for the Windows users to get the drivers set up properly. This should make things much easier for them. Linux users never had a problem with it, since their USB ADB worked right out of the box. I also shrunk the image to 7.6 GB to accommodate everyone that was having difficulty writing the 8 GB image to their microSD cards that were actually a little bit smaller than 8 GB.
