Enable ADB for the Backflip on linux

The first thing to do is download android sdk from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and extract it to wherever you want then log in as root and create a new plain text document in
Code:
/etc/udev/rules.d
and name it
Code:
51-android.rules
In the text document type:

Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",SYSFS{idVendor}=="22b8",MODE="0666"
and save it to that directory.Then open Terminal and execute
Code:
chmod a+r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
Restart the computer and go to the adb directory and execute
Code:
./adb devices
If the device ID shows instead of the question marks you should be ready to execute any adb commands.ENJOY!

(Dont forget to enable USB debugging on you're phone!)
