• adb restore > Restore a backup to your phone.
• adb sideload > Push and flash custom ROMs and zips from your computer.
• fastboot devices

Check connection and get basic information about devices connected to the * computer.

This is essentially the same command as adb devices from earlier.

However, it works in the bootloader, which ADB does not. Handy for ensuring * that you have properly established a connection.

Few bash snippets

@Source (https:>jonfhancock.com/bash-your-way-to-better-android-development-1169bc3e0424)

Using tail -n

Use tail to remove the first line. Actually two lines. The first one is just a newline. The second is “List of devices attached.” $ adb devices | tail -n +2

Using cut -sf

Cut the last word and any white space off the end of each line. $ adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf -1

Using xargs -I

Given the -I option, xargs will perform an action for each line of text that we feed into it. We can give the line a variable name to use in commands that xargs can execute. $ adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf -1 | xargs -I X echo X aw yiss

Three options below together

Will print android version of all connected devices adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf -1 | xargs -I X adb -s X shell getprop ro.build.version.release

Using alias

• -- Example 1
• alias tellMeMore=echo
• tellMeMore "hi there"
• Output => hi there
• -- Example 2

• Define alias

• alias apkinstall="adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X * install -r $1"

• And you can use it later

• apkinstall ~/Downloads/MyAppRelease.apk > Install an apk on all devices
• -- Example 3
• alias rmapp="adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X uninstall * $1"
• rmapp com.example.myapp > Uninstall a package from all devices
• -- Example 4
• alias clearapp="adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X shell * pm clear $1"
• clearapp com.example.myapp > Clear data on all devices (leave installed)
• -- Example 5
• alias startintent="adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X * shell am start $1"
• startintent https:>twitter.com/JonFHancock > Launch a deep link on all devices

Setting up your .bash_profile Finally, to make this all reusable even after rebooting your computer (aliases only last through the current session), we have to add these to your .bash_profile. You might or might not already have a .bash_profile, so let’s make sure we append to it rather than overwriting it. Just open a terminal, and run the following command

touch .bash_profile && open .bash_profile

This will create it if it doesn’t already exist, and open it in a text editor either way. Now just copy and paste all of the aliases into it, save, and close.

• alias startintent="adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X * shell am start $1"
• alias apkinstall="adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X * install -r $1"
• alias rmapp="adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X uninstall * $1"
• alias clearapp="adb devices | tail -n +2 | cut -sf 1 | xargs -I X adb -s X shell * pm clear $1"
