I was able to install ADK on the PhoneDrone, but ADK needs kernel 2.6.35 and Android OS 2.3.4 and above, which only the newer phones have.

So, I'm now also trying to get ADB working on the phonedrone. ADB is the Android Debug Bridge and among other functions it allows you to open a bi-directional port over USB. The nice thing about ADB is that it works on almost every Android phone out there and does not require rooting or jailbreaking.

I'll update if I make any progress.

Got ADB working  on the PhoneDrone. This means you can also use it with older Android phones, including those before 2.3.4 that do not support ADK. This opens the PhoneDrone to a LOT more phones.

I've successfully connected to my phone (Moto Triumph running CM7) and pulled a logcat (kinda like the phone's syslog). That means I have bi-directional data with the phone. 

I'm starting on an Android app to push this to a selected IP address and port where the GCS will be running.
