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While this project is GPLv3 licensed, I would like to add a parameter: please do not publish unofficial (user) LADB builds to the Google Play Store.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

Doesn't always work. I have this app installed on a few devices. On all devices, it takes a few attempts to get it the app to connect and be able to use the app. On one device, it will connect for a few seconds and disconnect. Making me unable to remove any other app. When I used this app on the devices worked eventually, it worked well to be able to remove bloatware. Would be nice to consistently work.

Dev, you're awesome, this app is awesome! I drive for a living and practically live on the road, and am hardly ever within reach of a pc, but still occasionally want to hack my phone or tablet, usually to enable a battery monitor feature or remove some Verizon or Samsung bloat/spy/tracking/garbage/useless-ware. LADB enables me to do this when i'm away from my PC, which is 95% of my time. You rock! Thanks for the awesome update too! Hack your phone without a PC? There's an app for that. 👍👌

I want it to work for ghost processes... but everytime i go to input ports and go back it just resets code since i guess screen app change, modified battery optimizations for wifi dev code settings page but still... (ok im dumb split screen helped, but still adb doesnt connect after pairing shows the localhost) ok restart fixed connection so heres a troubleshoot for anyone in need works great :3
