LADB — Local ADB Shell

About this app

CHECK SUPPORT SECTION FOR MANUAL PAIRING TUTORIAL

How does it work?

LADB bundles an ADB server within the app libraries. Normally, this server cannot connect to the local device because it requires an active USB connection. However, Android's Wireless ADB Debugging feature allows the server and the client to speak to each other locally.

Initial Setup

Use split-screen more or a pop-out window with LADB and Settings at the same time. This is because Android will invalidate the pairing information if the dialog gets dismissed. Add a Wireless Debugging connection, and copy the pairing code and port into LADB. Keep both windows open until the Settings dialog dismisses itself.

Issues

LADB is sadly incompatible with Shizuku at the current moment. That means that if you have Shiuzuku installed, LADB will usually fail to connect properly. You must uninstall it and reboot to use LADB.

Troubleshooting

Most errors can be fixed by clearing the app data for LADB, removing all Wireless Debugging connections from Settings, and rebooting.

License

While this project is GPLv3 licensed, I would like to add a parameter: please do not publish unofficial (user) LADB builds to the Google Play Store.

Support

MANUAL PAIRING:
Sometimes, LADB's Assisted Pairing mode can be finicky with newer versions of Android. This is because the device does not recognize that there is an available device to connect to. Sometimes, a simple app restart fixes the issue.

This tutorial demonstrates how you can skip the Assisted Pairing mode and reliably pair the device yourself.

Ratings and reviews

Just bought this app today for my Samsung S24. It works great, I wanted adb on my phone to check the battery and such without connecting the phone to the pc. Would be nice if it worked on data instead of wifi. Can't have everything, I use my backup phone to create a wifi Hotspot connect my Samsung S24 to wifi Hotspot, then this app connects with no problem. Anyway, thanks for this app.

Version 2.4 fails on both OnePlus devices I have. Edit version 2.4.1 still fails on both devices. Reverting to 2.3.1. @developer, yes I downloaded version 2.3.1 from a GitHub and it works flawlessly. Edit @developer I received the revert and it works flawlessly again. Thank you for taking the feedback and listening to the community.

June 20 update broke the app. No longer connects! Sadly, whereas others had claimed the previous iteration "doesn't work with newer phones," I have been running the newest version of Android, and, while there were rare times the app wouldn't connect, truth is that all that was ever required was a restart of the app or the phone and problem solved. A slight inconvenience, yes but infinitely preferable to the abject failure of this newest update, which doesn't connect at all!

What's new

- Full rollback to v3.2.1
