Enable Wireless debugging

not everyone has wifi at home, and this doesn't work without one. It's also very complicated for people. it is basically a wall around a garden.

also you either have to set adb over wifi to automatically turn on when connecting to that wifi, which is not that safe, or turn it on manually every time you want to install apps or updates. with that, the recent android feature to allow 3rd party stores to update their apps without a prompt goes out the window.
