Frequently asked questions

Is ADBLink still maintained?

ADBLink is an older ADB GUI that sees infrequent updates. Andora is actively developed with a modern Windows UI and bundled drivers.

ADBLink vs Andora?

Both are ADB front-ends, but Andora adds a polished UI, a drag-drop APK installer, a wireless pairing wizard and guided error fixes that ADBLink lacks.

Does ADBLink bundle USB drivers?

No — you supply your own ADB and USB drivers. Andora bundles the ADB Windows drivers so there is no SDK setup.
