Installation

Alternative on Mac OS via Homebrew Homebrew package

brew install adb-enhanced

Note

  1. sudo pip install adb-enhanced for Python2 based install works as well but, I would recommend moving to python3 since I will deprecate Python2 support anytime after Dec 31, 2018.

  2. If you don’t have sudo access or you are installing without sudo then adbe might not be configured correctly in the path.

  3. To setup bash/z-sh auto-completion, execute sudo pip3 install infi.docopt-completion && docopt-completion $(which adbe) after installing adb-enhanced.

Examples

Device configuration

  • Turn doze mode on

    adbe doze on

  • Turn mobile-data off

    adbe mobile-data off

  • Turn on battery saver

    adbe battery saver on

  • Don’t keep activities in the background

    adbe dont-keep-activities on

  • Take a screenshot adbe screenshot ~/Downloads/screenshot1.png

  • Take a video adbe screenrecord video.mp4 # Press ^C when finished

  • Turn Wireless Debug mode on adbe enable wireless debugging

Permissions

  • Grant storage-related runtime permissions

    adbe permissions grant com.example storage

  • Revoke storage-related runtime permissions

    adbe permissions revoke com.example storage

Interacting with app

  • Start an app

    adbe start com.example

  • Kill an app

    adbe force-stop com.example

  • Clear app data - equivalent of uninstall and reinstall

    adbe clear-data com.example

  • ls/cat/rm any file without worrying about adding “run-as” or “su root”

    adbe ls /data/data/com.example/databases # Works as long as com.example is a debuggable package or shell has the root permission or directory has been made publicly accessible
