LADB is a local ADB shell for Android that enables wireless ADB debugging. It allows you to interact with your Android device's ADB server over a local connection.
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.
To get started with LADB, follow these steps:
- Use split-screen mode or a pop-out window with LADB and Android Settings at the same time. This is important because Android will invalidate the pairing information if the dialog gets dismissed.
- Add a Wireless Debugging connection in Android Settings.
- Copy the pairing code and port from Android Settings into LADB.
- Keep both windows open until the Android Settings dialog dismisses itself.
Please note that LADB is currently incompatible with Shizuku. If you have Shizuku installed, LADB may fail to connect properly. You must uninstall Shizuku and reboot your device to use LADB successfully.
