For Windows:

Install State of Syn on your Google Glass in 4 steps: ● Download SoSGlass.apk ● Download ADB Tools adb_fastboot.zip

Install Android Drivers:

● Download Android Drivers ● For most users, the file will be saved into your Downloads directory. ● Right-click on the usb_drivers.zip file you downloaded and select Extract All. ● Set the destination Directory to your Downloads directory, and click the Extract button. ● Follow the instructions to install the drivers here. ● The driver directory will be the usb_drivers directory extracted in the previous step (Your account must have administrator privileges to perform this sequence).

Set Up:

● On Glass, swipe to Settings, tap, swipe to Device Info, tap, swipe to Turn On Debug card, tap if not already On. ● Right-click on the adb_fastboot.zip file you downloaded in Step 1 above and select Extract All. Set the destination directory to your Downloads directory, and click the Extract button. ● Copy SoSGlass.apk downloaded in Step 1 into the adb_fastboot folder you just created.

Install:

● Open a Command Prompt window (Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt), and change to the adb_fastboot folder; for instance, "cd Downloads/adb_fastboot" if you created the folder in your Downloads directory.The easy way: hold down the Shift key and right-click your adb_fastboot folder. Thecontext menu will contain an entry, "Open command window here." ● Cut and paste the command below into terminal window (use right-click menu to paste into Command Prompt window): adb-windows devices ● You should see something like: List of devices attached 015DB75B1801E00E device If the device doesn't show up in the device list, make sure it's connected via USB, and debug mode is on. If it still doesn't show up, you may need to add in the correct hardware ID for the device. First find the hardware ID: ● Open Device Manager from your Windows Control Panel. ● Find the glass device, listed under either "Android Devices" or "Portable Devices". ● Right click on it and click properties. ● Switch to the "Details" tab. ● From the Property Dropdown, select "Hardware Ids" ● Right click on the first line on the list and copy the ID. Next, add google glass lines into android_winusb.inf: ● Open android_winusb.inf in your usb_driver folder in a text editor (Notepad should work fine). ●Find this line: [Google.NTx86] ● Underneath it, add the following 3 lines, replacing USB\VID_18D1&PID_9001 with the hardware ID you copied from above: ;Google Glass %SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_9001 %CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_9001 ● Add the same 3 lines under the [Google.NTamd64] line in the file. Now, we need to kill adb so it reloads the file we modified. ● Open Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Delete) ● Find adb.exe on the list of processes, then select it and click "End task". If it wasn't on the list of processes, that's okay, it just means it wasn't running. re-run adb-windows devices, and hopefully the glass is now listed. ● Type the command below into terminal window: ● adb-windows install SoSGlass.apk ● Awaken Glass, and start State of Syn ● You are done!
