But a quick update:
Version 2 or my ADB GUI app is now available.

There is a GUI for the common ADB commands and an integration with scrcpy (as in version 1)
It now has an experimental option to use ADB and ADB Shell commands by typing/pasting them in.
Works quite well (mostly).
It also has an integration with ngrok.
This allows you to securely control a Firestick through the Internet (or other ADB device) without any port forwarding on a router.
A full guide for ngrok use, with screenshots is here:

Nice. Thank you!

Hi Flakie
Awesome app . . . There should be more marketing of this app, and I will be one to recommend it to everyone
Question:
What port is used to connect to your mobile phone . . i have used 5555 & 8080 with no luck . . plz can u give instructions to connect the mobile phone . . . 5555 works perfectly to the TV Box

Glad you like the app. New version is a bit away as I have been working on a couple of Android apps. Hopefully it will be in June. I am toying with adding a tabbed interface and putting in a file browser/manager for the attached devices. Though that may likely be coming in the version 4.
To attach the phone you will need to attach it to a USB cable first and showing as such in the app. Then enter the IP address of the phone (you can get this in the phones settings) and the port 5555. Then tick the box Enable TCP/IP mode and click on the Connect ADB Device button. Don't close the pop-up windows that appears. After 30 seconds or so it will show the phone as being connected by both USB and the WiFi. You can unplug the USB cable at this point and use the devices IP address to manage it. The phone can then be used in TCP/IP mode until it is rebooted. This also includes accessing it from a remote location with either port forwarding (if this is setup on the local router) or ngrok etc.
The next version it will not be necessary to specify the IP address as this will be acquired automatically by the app. TBH this is another reason for the delay in the next version, as it is still not reliable enough getting the IP address on all phones. Soon though
Marketing, not been too worried about that but grateful for any recommendations. Tech Doctor UK did a nice YouTube review (of version1) which generated more interest. There have been over 11,000 downloads in total (including the 2.3K from the tech doctor site), over the last year or so. Far more interest than I expected when I released it publicly. Thanks again for the comments.

Jusr received my second Firestick 4k to put in bedroom, i'll play with it in order to root it and customize it to my needs, your blog seems pretty interesting, i'll probably read a lot out there before i dig in !
Thanks for the shares !

This is cool
my wishlist:
1. be able to save multiple adb ip addresses
2. be able to launch cmd window with shell instead of being forced to use shell in the app

Why disabled ADB shell in your GUI and disabled backup of apps also?
just by streaming some thing remotely (scrcpy) and not able to use remote ADB Shell is useless !
Troubleshooting won't work without shell commands,
Port forwarding works great without your ngrock app ! Tunnel is of no use,
Why pay ngrock to use shell in your App, when ADB shell is available freely over USB , Wifi and port forwarding with fire stick 4k.
Thanks and regards

ngrok free works well (and the app is setup to use the free version) and of course you can use port forwarding if you want to. Nice to have the choice and nice not to have to have to use port forwarding which is less secure.
No-one forces you to use the app or ngrok
Or you could write your own.
Cheers.

1. You can save as many adb profiles as you wish
2. Was thinking of this be then you could just open a cmd window in any case. Might consider it further
The next version has a few more features but I am a bit too busy atm to finalise it. Still hope for it to be released at some point in the summer.

This is such a great tool! Thank you.
May I ask can I use it to clone a Firestick? I have a 4k Firestick and have just bought a 4k MAX. The key application I'm wanting to migrate is Kodi 19.3 and all my addons and settings. Most other apps are standalone or near enough to standalone.
If anyone has any pointers or even a procedure document it would be fantastically appreciated.
Thank you.

amazing app, wanted to say thank you and I'm puzzled why more ppl in the forum arent talking about this

I was so happy someone made a GUI version but the most I was looking for was ease of file transfer. Can you please add sharing files using your GUI?

God i would love to see v3 out of beta and give a fire tablet toolbox toolset

[Android] Run Android without a data plan [CHECKLIST]

Hey Gang,
I currently do not have a data plan and won't get one until I switch from Sprint to Verizon. (accounts expire soon)
This is what I want to do with my Vogue:
Setup SD card with EXT2 partitions [CHECK]
Correctly install/run a SenseUI/Hero build [CHECK]
Convert my WM contacts to Android contacts offline [CHECK]
Install APK's offline [CHECK]
Use the internet connection through my PC via USB cable (while running android) [PENDING]
Install a "camera software" APK so i can use the camera [PENDING]
Enjoy the hell out of Android and all the possibilities for the Vogue! [CHECK]
Any and all help checking off my list is much appreciated!
~Syn
The camera already works out of the box. and Talk to enatefox about internet via USB connection.
Install a "camera software" APK so i can use the camera [PENDING]
I am currently using "Pro Paint Camera that came with this Hero/SenseUI build.
I can take pictures but not video. Also, none of the lighting effects work so every picture is very yellowish.
True.... the camera does work, but it is not really usable without adjustment.
I'm in the same situation right now. I want to use android but I'm afraid I wont be able to use internet to access the market (unlike WM/ActiveSync).
The camera issue is something that I can deal with, but I think that it would be nice if someone could make an activesync-like program that can share internet.
Only difference is that I'm on verizon right now, and might consider switching to sprint!

I forget exactly when that build came out, but I can assure you that the build I'm using now has a camcorder and camera app outside of Paint Pro Camera.
FWIW, I'm using the Droid donut ion build by Zenulator.
Also, from what I know, internet through USB only allows you to browse the web, and the marketplace doesn't work. There might be some changes in the future, however.
Yes. with Cupcake / Donut the camera/camcorder seem to work with the default applications. They still don't have filters or effects to correct lighting.
... still looking for that app.

I have also been trying to figure this out... but getting Internet via bluetooth rather than USB. So kind of like the bluetooth tethering that is possible right now with Android, but in REVERSE! So Internet-> PC-> Bluetooth-> Android.
USB Internet (at this point) can be very problematic. It can cause your phone to hard freeze out of the blue. I haven't spent a lot of time troubleshooting it since it's hard to figure out what went wrong when I'm forced to reset.
Credit to DimaFern for getting me anywhere near having this working. I just messed with it a little. This is reverse tethering because you are not getting the connection from the phone. So the USB Tethering option is not related in this situation.
Here's my howto
I have not tried this without a Linux host. I believe you can forward traffic with ICS but I don't know what is involved there.
My gateway is .37, my laptop is .107 and the phone gets it's IP from the laptop:
On laptop:
echo "1" | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
On Android:
ip addr add 192.168.37.100/24 dev usb0
ifconfig usb0 up
## This is the IP for my laptop:
route add default gw 192.168.37.107
setprop net.dns1 192.168.37.107
cat /proc/net/route
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The last line is not needed-- it's to show you that it's routing traffic. You won't be able to ping IPs from the command line and somehow Market doesn't think you're online but SAM Market, Browser, etc. do work. It's nice because you are not taxing the RAM of the phone for connectivity so it runs much quicker... unless it hard freezes on you.
i use tetherbot to tether my phone now that it's running android full time. basically install tetherbot and start the socks proxy server on port 1080 then.
Code:
adb forward tcp:1080 tcp:1080
from your computer and set up firefox to connect manually to the proxy.

I'm sorry, but isn't Tetherbot used to share your phone's internet connection with your computer?
I think we are trying to be able to "reverse tether" and not tether.
enatefox (and others)...
I would love to see how this reverse-tethering can work. I know its very complicated and buggy right now, but if you do any more work on it you should create a thread showing how in layman's terms. I have dual-boots on both my computers into Ubuntu 9.10, I know what the terminal is and sudo and some basic commands, but when you type your commands with little explanation I get lost. They could use some clarification [ such as 1) open terminal 2) type these commands. ] And please explain terminal in Android. What apk do I need? I probably have it already but just need to install it. Thanks for any help. I don't have data since my line costs $10 a month (family plan) and data would be $26 a month. I just started reverse-tethering with WM6.5.1 and its really cool.
There aren't any other steps you just run what I posted and change "192.168.37.107" to what your desktop's IP is and "192.168.37.100" to "192.168.xxx.100" where "xxx" is the subnet of your LAN-- matching the 3rd set of numbers of your desktop's IP.
You can run these commands over ADB, which is required to do this. Here's a guide on how to set it up.
Here is what I came up with trying to do the same thing with bluetooth instead :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4404512&postcount=9
I was missing your "ip addr..." command to add the forwarding network, this should help, I will give it a try.
I also came to the conclusion that I needed a way to fake that either the wifi or the data connection was up. Maybe this can be done by issuing a "setprop" command forcing the status to being "up"?

UGH I'm stuck right now. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10, and when I type in terminal "sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart" I get some error message telling me to do it a different way. So even after restarting the computer, it does not recognize any command for adb. I already did the export PATH to the androidsdk/tools folder and adb is in there, but I cannot get it to open. Any ideas?
Got it to see adb. I forgot to put /home/drkow19 in front of the path...
edit: Has anyone successfully used ADB with zen's 2.0.1? I'm trying right now but it shows no devices connected. In the 50-android.rules file I have 0bb4 instead of 18d1 like enatefox said to. Also, on the Dream forums the file they use is 51-android.rules, whats the diff?
0bb4 and 18d1 are determined in the source code. Different versions can change so whichever is shown, use. The 50 and 51 are indicators for timing. Maybe I have this backwards but 51 should start later than 50 and can address issues with it not being recognized or more precisely, overrode with another operation. I set mine to 51.
Okay I deleted 50 and used 51-android.rules. What is the line about "define vendor id" does that need to be in the 51 file?
I can say adb start-server but no devices... They say you need to sudo adb start-server but when I try that I get "sudo: adb: command not found" How do you add the adb PATH so it works under sudo as well?

Remote control Android from PC

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if there is any app that would allow me to remote control my android from my PC when it's connected via USB, etc?
I have a few repetativ things that need to be done that may take a couple of hours on the 'droid which using a keyboard and mouse for would probably speed things up significantly.
Cheers

Hi, may be with adb connect IP (wifi)
or try WebKey app from Market

Remote Control Add-on may be much simpler. And you can integrate it with Remote Web Desktop for more features, such like desktop SMS, file explorer, FTP, etc.

Try LANmote, works over WIFI
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=lanmote
your solution ?
For me it is myPhonexplorer:
It is a great applikation: Work on USB, WIFI, Bluethoose
You can organize your contacts, Task, Calender, Install Applikations, transfer files, Jobmanagment for Backup Files, Screen Remote !!, Sending SMS form PC, Lotus Notes + Exchange sync ..........
For me the best and it's free !
i use it same years
a nother good Tool is Total Comander and Android ADB 5.6:
so you can:
- Apps management (Install, Uninstall and Backup your apps)
- APK icons and metadata with custom columns
- Backup and Restore on ICS
- LogCat/BugReport/Dmesg (Copy file from folder), Shell
- Reboot menu with (Reboot, Hot Boot, Recovery, Download and Power Off)
- Screenshots (Copy file from .screenshot folder)
- Multiple devices with device rename functionality (friendly name)
- Bookmarks and WiFi auto-connect
- Rooted, semi-rooted and non-rooted devices
- Full unicode support
- x32 and x64 support
- TC command line integration
- Background copy/move

- ADB USB and wireless ADB (no need to install Android SDK)
- Auto mount support
- Debug logs
- Rich settings
TeamViewer is actually quite nice. I don't like how the free version times out after a while and the first tier of a paid version is over $700.

Could always try AirDroid?
Can't include outside link as under 10 posts...
VNC is good
Seems most people here are missing the OP's question
There are a lot of responses to this person's question (albeit, an old question) that are totally missing what he wants to do.
he wants to control his phone FROM his PC. Half the apps mentioned are remote control (like a tv remote control) app for your phone that control your PC.
second, apps like Airdroid are NOT the solution he is asking for. Airdroid is not a "remote control", it is a "remote management" app.
the OP wants to send the view you see as you look at your phone, to the PC, so that it can be manipulated with the keyboard and mouse.
For those that have used teamviewer, Logmein, VNC, .. you know what what I am talking about. This is one of those things that I think many people have a hard time understanding until they see it. For the longest time I could not get my parents to understand that I could SEE their screen on my PC as if I was sitting at their PC..
For the OP, or anyone else who is finding this thread on google, there are a few options and they all seem to need root.
LANmote
VM VNC Server
android-vnc
VNC server (by wencent)
VNC Server Ultimate (might support non rooted devices)
If you own a samsung device, you can use the official team viewer app, it works flawlessly (I use it to support my parents and their GS3's)
If you start your google search or market search with VNC SERVER or similar, you will be off to a good start.

Droid VNC using USB

Hi guys,
I came from a jailbroken iPhone about a year ago (launch day EVO user) and I always used Veency and iTunnel to remote into my phone when at work so I don't look like a slacker that I am, playing on my phone and all. Well, I finally decided to take some time and find a Android solution to my problem. Since droid vnc server is the only vnc server available for the Android platform (correct me if I'm wrong guys and gals). So did some research, first trying iTunnel to forward my TCP port to the USB, connection established but it seems iTunnel was specifically built for iOS. So instead, researched some more and found ADB can provide the functionality of iTunnel. So using UltraVNC viewer, droid VNC server (found on the market), and ADB, here's how I got it to work:
Plug in phone to USB
In command prompt run: adb forward tcp:5801 tcp 5801
Also in command prompt run: adb forward tcp:5901 tcp:5901
Make sure Droid VNC Server is started on the phone
In UltraVNC viewer, browse to "localhost:5901"
After that, you should be all set. Use the help button in droid VNC server to help you with the input.
Going to try it out

I had to edit my original post. In UltraVNc, its "localhost:5901" not "5801". Sorry!!
Got it running. But what are you using this for?

While I'm at work, using a phone is frowned on. So I can keep my phone out of sight and charging on my USB port while shooting off texts and IMs discreetly
Gotcha

Okay, so i typed in the first command
adb forward tcp:5801 tcp 5801
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and the prompt spit out a list of ADB commands. so i moved on to the next step and ran the next command
adb forward tcp:5901 tcp:5901
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and i get: "error: device not found"
what am i doing wrong?
Edit: The phone is connected by USB btw.
Edit 2: I am able to connect to my phone via the internet VNC connection, just not through the local host.

Worked for me, was wondering how to do this. Thanks.
I use TightVNC though, and it needed two colons. (ie localhost::5901)
Hmm, I was hoping this would be smoother than over WiFi, but actually the refresh is about the same. Any tips on improving that?
For iphone?
Thank you so much sir,
can you plese help me how to do the same thing on iphone...please...i will really appreciate you....plz...plz..plz...

Hi guys,
I came from a jailbroken iPhone about a year ago (launch day EVO user) and I always used Veency and iTunnel to remote into my phone when at work so I don't look like a slacker that I am, playing on my phone and all. Well, I finally decided to take some time and find a Android solution to my problem. Since droid vnc server is the only vnc server available for the Android platform (correct me if I'm wrong guys and gals). So did some research, first trying iTunnel to forward my TCP port to the USB, connection established but it seems iTunnel was specifically built for iOS. So instead, researched some more and found ADB can provide the functionality of iTunnel. So using UltraVNC viewer, droid VNC server (found on the market), and ADB, here's how I got it to work:
Plug in phone to USB
In command prompt run: adb forward tcp:5801 tcp 5801
Also in command prompt run: adb forward tcp:5901 tcp:5901
Make sure Droid VNC Server is started on the phone
In UltraVNC viewer, browse to "localhost:5901"
After that, you should be all set. Use the help button in droid VNC server to help you with the input.

wondering is it normal the connection is laggy through the local network ?

Remote you phone from Computer!

Android - Remote your android phone via usb cable or wireless router from PC.
Phone must be ROOTED!
Download droid VNC server - http://goo.gl/hYLXp - install it.
Download android adb driver - http://goo.gl/faiJU

my mobiler is the easiest i have tried. Just install the software on the pc (i use win 7 64 bit). turn on the "debugging" in the development settings of the phone. it will automatically push the app into the phone. Very simple indeed...

my mobiler needs the phone to be connected to the desktop with a usb cable. thats a turn off. and if a rom (such as some of the ics roms based off the leak rom) isn't supporting usb mount, then theres no use. webkey can be connected to your phone from any wi-fi connection, from any browser, from any pc.
Mymobiler was the ipso facto app for wm6.x to enable one to control ones phone via a pc.
many people were waiting for it to be ported to android. It does support wifi as well as USB connections. I'm fiddling with mine now, as it happens. (downloading webkey, never heard of that one so thanks. I'll have a fiddle with that one too. It looks far more complicated i.e My mobiler is exactly what is says. Your phone on your desktop. I do like the look of the GPS stuff in webkey though.. Still fiddling...)
Webkey... far too complicated. How many user names/passwords/registration of device with them even?
kies air
you guys do know tht there is an app called Kies Air on our devices by default tht allows you to do tht ryt?!
Kies Air has less functionality

I agree with that, but it also depends on what requirements you got
little bit slow, but worth it a try
webkey is slow over the wifi. cant connect with usb. much trickier than mymobiler. Also much slower than my mobiler.
Actually, I agree. Hence, I've uninstalled it since discovering Airdroid. Its also free on the now Google Play Store (seriously though, Google Market sounds much better, I don't know what they were thinking.)
Its similar to webkey, but its more organized and has a better layout. And if you can't or don't want to connect via Wi-Fi you can tether it to your PC with a USB. You can control your Note from the browser as well. Definitely check this one out, much simpler to use. I don't like apps that restrict me to only be able to control my phone or act as a file manager with a cable. But this has both options.

You can now use our VMLite VNC Server, the first and only VNC Server that works on any devices, on rooted or unrooted devices.
It provides you the full control of the device from a PC or from another device, with very repsonsive keyboard and mouse operations.

[TOOL] WebADB - Run ADB in your browser without installation

Hi there everyone,
I have released a new website https://www.webadb.com which allows you to perform all functionality provided by ADB in your web browser without installing anything. No installation, no drivers, nothing. All you need is a Web Browser that supports web usb such as chrome or the new microsoft edge and you are good to go.
Features include:
Apk installation
Interactive shell
Screen Recording
SCRCPY - Control your device from your browser
Device Information
File Manager
Enabling ADB over WIFI
Looking forward to all feedback so that I can continue to make improvements and add new functionality.
This project unaffiliated but based off of the following open source project - https://github.com/yume-chan/ya-webadb.
If you would like to improve this tool, please contribute to that project and the changes will be upstreamed to the website, thank you.
Very handy tool. Is there any way to do custom commands for example? For use of adb shell? Thanks for this [emoji4]

Sure, just go to the Interactive Shell tab on the left side. That will give you access to a fully featured adb shell.

So far the feedback from me is very positive. Everything works flawlessly
I just tried it! Is super awesome and handy!
This sounds cool - though the page crashes out in Firefox rather than showing a useful error.
Security is going to be the major concern here considering what can be done to a device via ADB: Have you made the source code available anywhere?
I tried chrome, xiaomi mia3 in the browser. Does not work
This is really cool! Is there any way to save the video taken with SCRCPY?
This is very tricky. If you grant a website access to ADB it can do anything from installing malware to uploading all your data without you noticing it. Before using it, I would advice everyone to look through the source at https://github.com/yume-chan/ya-webadb/ and build it for yourself!
Other than that, it looks pretty cool and useful!
Can the source be posted in OP?
Is this open source?

Silly Question,
WebADB requires USB in order to work?

Yep, your android device has to be connected to the computer
Nice! Tried in Samsung S8. Not working in chrome (no connection), working in Edge !
The dev just introduced a unskippable AD in the website to take advantage of clicks! This is a no use for me. Avoid this crap at all costs
