About Remote ADB Shell

1. Remote ADB Shell is a terminal app that allows you to connect to the ADB shell service of other Android devices over the network and execute terminal commands.

2. If the target devices are not rooted, you must use a computer with the Android SDK and Google USB drivers to configure the them (detailed below).

3. To configure a stock un-rooted target, plug the target device into a computer that has the Android SDK installed and run "adb tcpip 5555" from the Android SDK's platform-tools folder.

4. In my testing, devices running 4. 2. 2 will need to be plugged in to a computer the first time you connect to them (from each device with this app installed).

5. Devices running Android 4. 3 and 4. 4 seem to have no problem displaying the dialog without a connection to a computer, so it looks like this is a workaround specific to Android 4. 2. 2.

6. To connect to your remote Android device, type in the IP address of the device and the port number (5555 from the example above) in Remote ADB Shell.

7. This app does not require root on either device, but root may be helpful to configure the target devices.

8. The devices simply speak the same protocol to each other that they would to a computer running the ADB client from the Android SDK.

9. Because this app uses a native implementation of the ADB protocol in Java, it does not require root on either device or any 3rd party apps on the target device.

10. IMPORTANT: Devices running Android 4. 2. 2 and later use RSA keys to authenticate the ADB connection.

11. This can be useful for remotely debugging Android devices (running tools like top, logcat, or dumpsys).

Remote ADB Shell Customer Insights

1. Would pay for this with advanced options added.Great app, no need to use your pc anymore but... Why pasting from clipboard is disabled? It is useful when following a guide and just copying and pasting long commandsSuperb, changed density for Shield: wm density 240.

2. And you know turning on pc every time for that is just a waste of time... That's why I like it so much now I can use adb shell from my phone which is great! And to them who are having problems pasting text to the app, Download Gboard then use clipboard to paste! Thanks developers.

3. Termux was able to do it but I'll still give it 4 stars because it has worked for different things that aren't stupid.Worked exactly as I needed it to for changing some settings on my Amazon firestick when I didn't have a computer available.

4. If you're only running a couple of simple commands this works completely fine but running anything that requires user input is a horrible experience (top is impossible to use for example).

5. BEST APP I HAVE EVER SEEN! Highly recommended, I have a tv where many settings ain't available and I have to use adb to allow permissions and enable some settings.

6. Sadly this is the only android app that does this.Handy to use on smart TVs, but a pain without a proper keyboard, since copy-paste is disabled for some reason.

7. There's simply no better option, at the moment, so we're stuck with this.Was trying to connect my phone into itself over wireless adb but sadly pairing prompt never appeared.

8. I will keep supporting you.5 stars because it's free! Only issue - and others have mentioned it - is it doesn't disconnect.

9. Needs special keys and a different formatting on long terminal outputs, like say top.

10. Enable network debugging in dev options, ip # shows under.

11. Thanks dev!It's not often I review apps but this was so disappointing it's worth it.
