ScreenShots

This is a real simple way to take screen shots. It comes in handy for showing your custom work in forums or what not. All you need is the Android SDK, which you can find below. The SDK can be used for alot more than that though. More videos on that soon... (Thanks to Nephron @ XDA 4 the keyboard work :0P)

Android SDK 1.5: http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2.zip

Setting up the Android 1.5r2 SDK

Download the file from above
Unzip to your desktop
Take the "android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2" folder and move it to the root of your hard drive (C:\)

Right click on My Computer and click properties
Select the Advanced Tab or Advanced System Setting (Vista)
Select Environment Variables...
Press New

For Variable Name type: adb
For Variable Value type: C:\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2\tools

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preparing your phone for ADB

Go to Settings on your phone
Select Applications
Select Development
Make sure 'USB Debugging' is checked

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Installing Drivers

Plug in your phone through USB and DO NOT MOUNT IT!!!!!
Your computer should see a new device and try to install Android 1.0 driver (If it doesnt, scroll down to the "Im not getting a notification of Android ADB when i plug in my USB" section)
Let it load
Once it cant find them select "Install drivers from my pc"
The drivers you need are in the Android SDK 1.5r2 folder (C:\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r2\usb_driver)
Depending on your OS pick x86 or amd64
You ADB Android Device should now be installed! Good Job

Now just follow the directions in the video...
