ADBManager - Manager for Android devices using ADB

  • Dependencies: adb iproute2 sakura nmap p7zip gtk2
  • Working directory (settings, temporary files): ~/.adbmanager
  • Packages installation script: ~/.adbmanager/install_packages.sh (created automatically)

Note: It is advisable to connect the devices via the USB-2.0 port of your computer (info).

The program is designed for visual and easy management of the ADB-Server and connection of Android smartphones. Allows you to monitor the status of the adb service, manage it, and control the list of connected devices. Allows you to manage your smartphone: search for installed packages by part name, install, delete APK, screenshot, reboot (Normal, Bootloader, Recovery mode) and shutdown the device. For advanced users, there is an Android Shell terminal and an SD-Card file manager.

Starting from v2.9, it is possible to enable, disable and delete non-removable applications for Android >= 6.

Starting from v3.3, multiple installation of APK, APKS and XAPK packages is supported. Files are selected in the file selection window using the Ctrl+Mouse. Installation of XAPKpackages with a single package architecture (32 bits or 64 bits) is supported. The presence of packages of both architectures (32 bits + 64 bits) in XAPK is not supported.

Starting with v3.4, fine-tuning for Android TV Box with truncated launchers (gear icon) has been added. Now missing settings can be made via ADB.

Access to the device via USB and rules

Update the rules for Android devices on your computer, include the active user in the adbusers group and reboot:

su/password
groupadd adbusers; usermod -aG adbusers $(logname)
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/M0Rf30/android-udev-rules/master/51-android.rules -O /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
reboot

Connecting via ADB over Wi-Fi

  • Connect the smartphone via USB
  • Press the emulator button and Switch to TCP/IP mode
  • Disconnect the smartphone from the USB
  • Press the emulator button and enter the IP address of the smartphone

Note: When connecting to the device via network, do not forget to disable the firewall (TCP:5555).

Possible errors when installing packages

  • [INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS: ...] - the package architecture is not suitable for your device
  • [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS: ...] - before installing, remove the previous package with this name

Recommendations for installing XAPK packages

  1. Download files only from trusted and verified sources to minimize the risk of infecting your device with malware
  2. Enable permission to install from unknown sources in your device's security settings, while being aware of the potential risks
  3. Remember that installing apps from third-party sources may violate Google's security policy and lead to unwanted consequences
