Description

CHECK SUPPORT SECTION FOR MANUAL PAIRING TUTORIAL

How does it work?

LADB bundles an ADB server within the app libraries. Normally, this server cannot connect to the local device because it requires an active USB connection. However, Android's Wireless ADB Debugging feature allows the server and the client to speak to each other locally.

Initial Setup

Use split-screen more or a pop-out window with LADB and Settings at the same time. This is because Android will invalidate the pairing information if the dialog gets dismissed. Add a Wireless Debugging connection, and copy the pairing code and port into LADB. Keep both windows open until the Settings dialog dismisses itself.

Issues

LADB is sadly incompatible with Shizuku at the current moment. That means that if you have Shiuzuku installed, LADB will usually fail to connect properly. You must uninstall it and reboot to use LADB.

Troubleshooting

Most errors can be fixed by clearing the app data for LADB, removing all Wireless Debugging connections from Settings, and rebooting.

License

While this project is GPLv3 licensed, I would like to add a parameter: please do not publish unofficial (user) LADB builds to the Google Play Store.

Support

MANUAL PAIRING:
Sometimes, LADB's Assisted Pairing mode can be finicky with newer versions of Android. This is because the device does not recognize that there is an available device to connect to. Sometimes, a simple app restart fixes the issue.

This tutorial demonstrates how you can skip the Assisted Pairing mode and reliably pair the device yourself.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew

5 ★Fantastic app and makes running adb commands super easy. It was always annoying to do it on a computer but the app makes it easy.
5 ★Great app, essential for power users and people who want to use Android to it's fullest extent.
5 ★LADB works on my Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5g. Using only LADB and no external devices I enabled secure settings in Tasker and all 3 ADB permissions in BetterBatteryStats. Thank you.
5 ★This app is a big help for me personally to uninstall, or at least to disable bloatware apps without resorting to more advanced and risky methods such as rooting.
5 ★tcpip 555 error:tcpip:inaccesible or not found.why?how should the order be?
5 ★Works perfectly once you figure out how to set it up. Documentation could be better.
1 ★Cannot use it i purchase but it until scanning for device only for 3 hours..sigh
3 ★It's a 50/50 it'll work on the same device everytime you use the app but when it does it's nice
5 ★mine is stuck at "Debug waiting or device to accept connection" i have USB debugging enabled in developer mode any help [please ?
5 ★Update- I'm on android 11 now, is it possible to give Tasker "adb tcpip 5555" command through this app? If yes then I'd like to purchase it again. Previous rating- Sorry man.. refunded. Because I'm on Android 10, so no wireless debugging option.
5 ★Works great after the update on Android 11. An excellent tool!
5 ★Nice, does what it describe. Simple and usable.
