I already had Googles\u2019 USB driver and ADB in place from screwing around with my Nook and from programming APK\u2019s in Processing, but Superoneclick comes with ADB so I do not think you need to install the full Android SDK or JAVA ADK. However, you<em>\u00a0will<\/em>\u00a0need Googles USB driver which is a part of the SDK installer.\u00a0 There are easy to follow instructions for installing the USB Driver and Android SDK on the Cyanogenmod website.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20160507212244\/http:\/\/wiki.cyanogenmod.com\/wiki\/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK#Windows\">http:\/\/wiki.cyanogenmod.com\/wiki\/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK#Windows<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have the USB Driver working and your Tablet connected (as verified in those instructions), all you need to do is download the latest version of Superoneclick (as of this writing, its version 2.1.1) and run it. From that point on its pretty self-explanitory\u2026 all you have to do is click a few buttons. Many thanks to it\u2019s developer for making this process\u00a0absurdly simple.<\/p>\n<p>You can find Superoneclick and further information here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/forum.xda-developers.com\/showthread.php?t=803682\">http:\/\/forum.xda-developers.com\/showthread.php?t=803682<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/img62.imageshack.us\/img62\/1172\/superoneclick211.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Superoneclick 2.1.1\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20160507212244im_\/http:\/\/img62.imageshack.us\/img62\/1172\/superoneclick211.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"634\" height=\"397\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\">\n<div id=\"\" class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A coworker recently picked one of these up.
