Hi all,

incidentally I published two articles about enabling Developer mode, ADB
and the details of adb shell/phablet-shell today:


http://sturmflut.github.io/ubuntu/touch/2015/05/08/hacking-ubuntu-touch-part-4-developer-mode-and-ADB/

http://sturmflut.github.io/ubuntu/touch/2015/05/08/hacking-ubuntu-touch-part-5-adb-shell-vs-phablet-shell/


This is a shameless self-plug, but it might be interesting for some.


kind regards,
Simon
