It starts here #Android

I've had my nexus for quite awhile now. Didn't do much just rooted. 
With iOS7 out and beta tried I was very disappointed. 
Seems Apple wants to do away with Jaibreaking all together.

Which brings me here.
After many hours tonight/this morning, I have learned quite a bit. 

Would like to share some of that with you.

Android is well quite different than iOS (duh). Things are achieved much differently.
To start off one thing you will have to do before rooting, or installing roms is.

Installing Device Drivers - This is very simple to do, but is a must!

If you plug your android device in, open my computer right click and go to device manager.
You will see an error sign next to your Android. It has installed a driver. 
We are going to use our device for a bit more. So we need to install some rock solid drivers.

Android Dev is the resource you want for drivers. Even includes a step by step;)

Alright we now have a great recognized device.

Things we will need to develop on Android.

Android SDK You will install this on your windows system. 
Also comes with eclipse. 
To install do not click the exe. It does not work. Instead open the eclipse folder. Inside is eclipse.exe
You can click this to install.

Once installed lets just make sure you have Java. To do this open command prompt.
You can go to run and type cmd, or search for command prompt.

When open type java -version
This will display java's version if you have it installed. If not install here.

That should be all we need to install on our system to get where we can use terminal to send codes to Android as well as make Android apps.

Until next time;)
