Access to my crazy Android Device - General Questions and Answers

HEy Guys ive bought a massive "Android Tablet"
Basically its a mirror with a Touch Display.
The Software is restricted so theres an autostart app.
I want to use it as a regular Android Tablet.
its announcing itself as:
Modell: rk3399-all
Android 7.1.2
ive access to an apk installer so i can install apps from usb stick.
there is no way to connect it to my pc
its connected via WIFI to my network
I changed to apex launcher but the system keeps deactivating my launcher.

I try to get access to the full device.
Uninstall the crappy vaha app
Because this one app act as launcher and didn't let me change the actual launcher.
My goal is:
to run fully browser and have access to the camera and speaker and some stuff ...
Edit: root doesn't work with that apps...

yes, but the launcher is so deep in the system that it chages back after seconds.
i need a Tool to deinstall the preinstalled Launcher app.
i cant uninstall it with the regular settings

OMG, what a beast that thing is!
Doesn't this work?
Code:
# pm disable <launcher package>

The pre-installed launcher cannot be uninstalled. If it were possible, there would be no access to the desktop and other things.
You need to find a high-powered application that will block some of the operation of the home launcher and allow you to keep another one running.

Try
Microsoft Launcher - Apps on Google Play
Personalize your phone and stay organized on the go.
play.google.com
This launcher has a huge impact on the whole system, perhaps it is impossible to dump through the stock launcher.
If it won't install, look for an older version from apkmirror.

Are you using a terminal program or connecting ADB over WiFi?
You should still be able to get ADB over USB working, it might just have non-standard VID/PID.
If you have a (proven) working launcher, you can kill the stock launcher.
It's just better if you have contact over a non-app shell first.

Do not disable default launcher. Thsi will destroy your recents menu.

Do they only give you a USB Type A (big rectangular hole) to plug in USB sticks?
Or are you using an OTG adapter to a micro USB?
If it's only USB Type A, they are probably fudging it internally with a grounded ID pin. You should be able to mod that so that you have a normal PC connection.

I don't know what "Quick Switch" is, but Android 7 still has navbar "square" thingy.

If you get a chance, we'd love to see some photos of the control unit.
Especially how the USB is connected, whether there are multiple USBs, whether there is UART...

USB Tether GUI for Stock Firmware (Non-Rooted)

Hello all. I have an early Christmas present for all the Stock firmware users.
I have created a usb tethering application that should work for all Android devices regardless of root access. The code is and will always be GPL. I used the azilink android app written by aziwoqpd--> http://forum.xda-develoers.com/showthread.php?t=481162
I have to give him lots of credit, because without his app this would not work.
This has been tested on the G1 and the Motorolla Droid. It should work on the Hero, MyTouch(Confirmed working), etc... The GUI should install and work on all versions (x86, x86_64) of Windows starting with XP.
The GUI that I have written controls the adb port forwarding and openvpn connection while showing status. Please test this application and let me know how it goes.
Download:

Nope. This is USB Tether for non rooted users
Link is down for azilink, use this link instead for more information:

Confirmed working on Windows 7, and doesn't require root.
Edit: The zip in original post contains the GUI, the apk, and open vpn. Start the apk, then click "connect" on the azilink-gui. Make sure "USB debugging" is enabled in Settings on your phone.
Thanks a lot.

Wifi tether and USB tether are two totally different methods of tethering.
Wifi tether doesn't utilize the usb cable to tether.

USB Tether requires the device to be connected to the Computer via USB.
Wifi tether allows users to wirelessly connect to your device via their Computer.

ADB is included in the azilink-gui installer. The only thing you will need to do manually is install the driver which is included in the install directory.

Download ADB from here:

I'm not sure if ADB is built into the azilink-gui, so it's safe to just install it on your girlfriend's PC.

[Q] CAT s50 (4.4.2) -> ADB: device not found

Hello xda users!
I have bought a CAT s50 device and I am very used to feature that phone vibrates once when someone answers my call. Since it runs andorid 4.4.2 it does not support this feature by default. So I found app Vibrate Call (on Play store) (if someone knows better way around without rooting it would be cool)
So there is a main problem - when I try to access my phone via "adb devices" command it is not shown there (I enabled USB debugging and device can be seen in explorer). So I cannot run the shell to enable app. I tried it as well on Linux where no drivers are needed
Any solutions? Anyone faced the same problem?

Try to unmount the storage / deactivate MTP when you are going to use ADB. Have you checked the devicer manager if your phone is listed?
Still no success. Looks like there is missing ANDROID (not USB) driver for s50 (under device manager). But it is strange that it did not work on Linux, but I am not sure that I tried PTP mode insted of MTP as you said.

Bugjaeger Mobile ADB App Running Directly on Android Phone - What Features?

I'm working on an ADB port which allows ADB(client/server) to run directly on Android device.
The app allows you to connect your phone to another Android device via USB OTG and perform some tasks that you normally perform from your PC(that has ADB installed).
For example
- take screenshots
- check logs
- install/remove packages
- check running processes
- push/pull files (also from locations that are not available to regular apps)
- run shell scripts executed as privileged ADB user
- create ADB backups and inspect backup files
- copy apps/APKs between phones
It's still work in progress(even though it's published), and I'm not even sure what features of ADB I should make available through the UI.
I was hoping to get some feedback here.
What are the main issues with UI? (because adb has so many features, I found it extremely hard to pack it into UI that would be intuitive)
What features would you expect from this kind of app?
Should I also embed fastboot, so that users would be able to flash Android from phone to phone?
Is it even worth to work on another one of these apps? (Maybe most people just prefer to always use ADB features directly from PC)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you use a local terminal to execute certain commands?

Not sure if I understand what you mean with "local terminal". .. Do you mean a shell spawned from regular app running on your phone?
The point of the app is to perform some privileged tasks that cannot be performed by regular apps on non-rooted phone.
You should be able to perform these tasks without the need to install ADB on your PC, or even without having a pc currently at your hands(e.g., if you're on-the-go).
Additionally, you should be able to perform a lot of these tasks with a couple of taps (instead of typing shell commands).
Is it possible to connect to localhost (127.0.0.1), and issue adb commands to the device running this app?

It's actually doing the opposite.
You issue commands from app to the connected device. The app is running the adb components you are running on your pc.
You connect one device that runs the app to another device that you want to debug. You can connect the devices via Wi-Fi or USB OTG.

I get that is the purpose, I was just curious if it was possible to point at the same device. It would make ADB stuff much simpler when no other devices are available.

If you made adbd listen on specific port before(adb tcpip 5555), then yes, you can issue adb commands from the app to the same device running the app.

No, I don't think you need root. I used it a lot on my non-rooted Nexus 5x and once on an old Asus Zenfone during testing and it was working as expected.
That's great . I was just wondering if there was something like this already out there. Thanks for your efforts and I hope you are prosperous.

I have a question about this app. I have installed it and find a few over internet connections (android box, fire tv) but when i connect my wifes non rooted S9 snapdragon. It asks what i want to use visa otg cable. (Smartswitch ect..)
Maybe the best way to put this is to tell you want i want to do.
I have a rooted note 5 and my wife has a new non rooted S9 from T mobile. The bloatware sucks as i am sure you can imagine. I have read how to remove the bloat with package disabler without root. My issues is i need to make PIP a sister app for package disabler a device owner app. This is done through adb and a few simple commands. My problem to solve my issue is i have no PC in order to use ADB on. I have looked for way to use phone to phone ADB with OTG but never been able to put ADB on my note 5 to use the terminal like from a PC.
Any help would be great thanks.

So you tried to connect your phone (with Bugjaeger installed) to you wife's phone via USB OTG cable? And the phone with Bugjaeger app doesn't detect any ADB device connection (or other dialogs pop up)? Did I understand this correctly?
You might need to temporarily disable the other protocols that Android offers via USB so that there are no other dialogs popping up (on your wife's phone). On my Nexus with Android 8, I can go to Connected devices -> USB and switch it to only "Charge this device" (so PTP or the other stuff is disabled).
In case there is some other app doing stuff with ADB USB devices, you might also need to change your defaults so that Bugjaeger can handle ADB USB devices.
Then you also need to make sure that Developer options are enabled on your wife's phone (and USB debugging of course).
Once you successfully connected and authorized the phone, you should do the following
- In Bugjaeger app switch to Packages tab and click on Add button top right (the button with the plus sign). Then you should pick the package disabler APK. This should install the package to your wife's phone
- Switch back to Commands tab (first tab) and either click on plus button in top right or shell into the device with the floating action button ("<>").
You can then activate the device owner with something like this
Code:
dpm set-device-owner disabler.package.name/.DisablerAdminReceiver
*Note that I don't prefix the command with "adb shell" here
When activating device owner you also need to make sure that there are no other accounts configured on your wifes phone (e.g. google account) because otherwise it probably won't work.
You can also check my blog post where I describe how to activate device owner with Bugjaeger in more detail (at the end of the blog post)

Hope that helps

Hi, I have a problem and I hope your app can help me.
I am without a PC and I have a tablet without root where I installed the application and a Samsung mobile phone that starts only in download mode, otherwise it gives me the message: Custom Binary blocked by FRP lock
Can I install a rom or a custom recovery with the app? I tried to connect them with the cable but it does not find the device.

I don't have any wear os watch at my hands right now and I can't test it at the moment. Is the APK compatible with the watch? If you're able to establish an adb connection between Bugjaeger and the watch, try to check the "Packages" tab in Bugjaeger app. There's a "+" button in the top toolbar, which allows you to select apk for installing on the target device.
The official docs are showing how to establish ADB connection with the watch - https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/apps/debugging
In Bugjaeger you then need to tap the connect button (plug with a plus sign in top toolbar), type in the IP address of the device, and tap on connect button. Both devices should be connected to the same WiFi network to make this work.
i figured it out!!!! go to packages, press the plus button, install from apps installed on phone. it was soooo easy. i couldnt get adb to work on my pc!! i am so thankful to you for this app!!!!!

Yeah did that, no luck
I have the Chinese version and have used adb without much problem....well, I usually do have some kind of problem with adb. In this case, I find that I need to use the cable that came with the phone, and I seem to need to enable 'enable usb when in charge-only mode'...well, I'm not sure, tbh, but that's what I do. I also seem to have to plug the usb cable, rebooting, and running adb in a specific order...and have the adb daemon started already...or something. Anyway, I have used it successfully, so perhaps it takes some persistence.
I've only used it for 'pull', 'push' and 'shell'...essentially getting my music collection on there quickly...and it is very quick, IMO...about 480Mbps, I think.

How To install Google TV Launcher on Android 9 TV

first you are going to need to get 2 APK
The first one is com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherX_1.0.40152940
The second one is Google_base.apk
Then you are going to put your Android 9 version into developer mode you need to allow USB debugging and select USB configuration to any protocol such as media transfer protocol
When you did that you can sideload your two APK files when that is done you are going to need an app on your mobile phone called called remote adb shell. Find out the ip address of your box go to network and ethernet and you will find your ip adress. Go to your phone open remote adb shell put in your ip adress and 5555 on the second line click connect . Now you have two possibilities either remove the current launcher or disable it if you want to keep it
issue the following command
pm uninstall –-user 0 com.google.android.tvlauncher
if you want to reinstall the old launcher the command is as follow
cmd package install-existing com.google.android.tvlauncher
Go back to your android TV and you should now have the google tv launcher , as a side note some countries might need to use a VPN to make it work properly although it was launched officially cheers.

Thank you my friend but this is not much; I hope when you try it you let me know how it went; there is also an app that can help with the installation if you are not comfortable with ADB however I don't know if the app permanently applies the launcher changes or if you must choose it each time you logon; in any case here is the link to the app the app is called android tv home

first you are going to need to get 2 APK
The first one is com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherX_1.0.40152940
The second one is Google_base.apk
Then you are going to put your Android 9 version into developer mode you need to allow USB debugging and select USB configuration to any protocol such as media transfer protocol
When you did that you can sideload your two APK files when that is done you are going to need an app on your mobile phone called called remote adb shell. Find out the ip address of your box go to network and ethernet and you will find your ip adress. Go to your phone open remote adb shell put in your ip adress and 5555 on the second line click connect . Now you have two possibilities either remove the current launcher or disable it if you want to keep it
issue the following command
pm uninstall –-user 0 com.google.android.tvlauncher
if you want to reinstall the old launcher the command is as follow
cmd package install-existing com.google.android.tvlauncher
Go back to your android TV and you should now have the google tv launcher , as a side note some countries might need to use a VPN to make it work properly although it was launched officially cheers.

I'm trying to get this on a Nvidia Shield TV 2017 specifically for the purposes of having voice search work in sideloaded apps and browsers. The voice search works on sideloaded apps on the Chromecast with Google TV, so can you voice search sideloaded apps and browsers with this UI on your device(s)?

Thanks. But is it just me or these files actually not attached here? Could you please also attach these files? Thanks in advance.
You need to highlight the text, right click and copy into your browser or select search. The files are there. Not everything is an easy link in the hacker world. You must do the work and think.
Great , the steps you describe are working fine. I'm successfully able to install.

Im having a hard time finding "google_base.apk". Thanks to Mattc001 for attaching the xlauncher 1.1.11, I couldn't find that version, only 1.0.xx so ... yes your right, there should be some homework needed to be applied, it sure helps though when the files or "requirements" are attached. For one, it's trusted that the software used is the trusted one from the OP. Secondly, ... just revert to one.
@Mattc001 Could you please elaborate on the "google_base.apk" ... where to find? Is it under a different title name vs. file name? I'm really interesting in your findings. I just recently acquired a TCL with Android TV or maybe its Google TV and would really like to take advantage of tweaks, mods, and things to better enjoy the experience and boost performance.
Thanks in advance.

Why not ? Do you know how to sideload apks ? make sure you are in developer mode and select usb configuration to MTP
Instead of Google_Base I added another version "com.google.android.katniss_6.12.20221010.3-14001602_minAPI24 (armeabi-v7a, x86) (nodpi) _apkmirror.com" Apparently this is it. Everything works but I have to be on VPN USA all the time because otherwise Home or the tab for you - it does not appear at all and I have an error. There is a chance to bypass the need to use vpn from the USA for the home tab to work? Thanks
