About this app

Bugjaeger® tries to give you the expert tools used by Android developers for better control and deep understanding of your Android device internals.

If you're an Android power user, developer, geek, or hacker, this app might be something for you.

How to use
1.) Enable developer options and USB debugging on your target device (https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options)

2.) Connect the device where you've installed this app to the target device via USB OTG cable

3.) Allow the app to access USB device and make sure the target device authorizes USB debugging

I case you also have the free version installed, I suggest to uninstall the free version, so there are no conflicts when accessing ADB USB devices

This app can be used by developers to debug Android apps or by Android enthusiast to learn more about the internals of their devices.

You connect your target device through USB OTG cable or through wifi and you'll be able to play around with the device.

This tool offers some features similar to adb(Android Debug Bridge) and Android Device Monitor, but instead of running on your development machine, it runs directly on your Android phone.

Premium features (not included in free version)
- no ads
- unlimited number of custom commands
- unlimited number of executed shell commands per session in interactive shell
- option to change port when connecting to adb device through WiFi (instead of default 5555 port)
- unlimited number of screenshots (only limited by amount of your free storage)
- possibility to record the live screencast into video file
- option to change file permissions

After installing the premium version I recommend to uninstall the free version, so that there are no conflicts when handling connected ADB devices.

Main features include
- executing custom shell scripts
- remote interactive shell
- creating and restoring backups, inspecting and extracting content of backup files
- reading, filtering, and exporting device logs
- capturing screenshots
- performing various commands for controlling your device (rebooting, going to bootloader, rotating screen, killing running apps)
- uninstalling and installing packages, checking various details about installed apps
- monitoring the processes, showing additional information related to processes, killing processes
- connecting through wifi with specified port number
- showing various details about the device's Android version, cpu, abi, display
- showing battery details (like e.g., temperature, health, technology, voltage,..)
- file management - pushing and pulling files from device, browsing the file system

Requirements
- If you want to connect the target device through USB cable, your phone has to support USB host
- The target phone must enable USB debugging in Developer options and authorise the development device

Please note
This app uses the normal/official way of communicating with Android devices which requires authorisation.
The app does not bypass Android's security mechanisms and it does not use any Android system vulnerabilities or anything similar!
This also means the app won't be able to perform some privileged tasks on non-rooted devices (e.g. removing system apps, killing system processes,...).
Additionally, this is not a rooting app.

Ratings and reviews

Used this app to run ADB commands on target phone using a second phone. Ended up buying premium version to remove command limit. I learned I cannot copy/paste commands into this app, I need to carefully type everything in. Copy pasted commands ended up scrambled for me, so be careful, you could end up sending something that you did not intend.

Had to have this on more than one occasion. Great for newbs and seasoned users. Many uses for a wide variety of issues and task. Great for stubborn work arounds. not sure how the development of the playing field with Google changing everything about Android an OEM securing and locking down more Phone features turning them into non-efficient $1,000 bricks for media consumers only but if used right this app currently can turn your phone into a PC if you do it right!

A must-have app. I've used it for more than a couple of things. I've rooted one phone from my daily phone using this, from unlocking the bootloader to root.

What’s new

- Added CPU usage to processes tab and allow to monitor processes/apps with highest cpu usage
- Added battery monitor that allows to find more information about battery and which apps potentially consume most
- Improved the custom commands dialog ux and allowed fast custom command creation and also renaming of commands
- Fixed too restrictive shell command output handling
