[APP] ADB enhanced Putty (replacement for "adb shell" command)

We all know that running "adb shell" from the command line is pretty crap, and when using a latter busybox version which has coloring support it's ultimately crap. One workaround was usually to start a telnet server on the phone, and use putty to connect to that telnet server. Actually there is a more easier way to do that which also works for non rooted phones.
Actually the Android Debug Bridge has a terminal connection feature (roughly speaking), which will be enabled after you connect to the adb server in "0006shell:" mode. You can actually use the putty to connect to this interface always, by setting the following things:
- Turn off line discipline in settings
- Use RAW mode to connect to localhost:5037
- Enter "0012host:transport-usb" (without quotes)
- Enter "0006shell:" (without quotes)
Now you've got a full fledged connection to your device. The main drawback is that it's tedious to repeat the above all the time, so I've made some modifications to the putty binary that adds a new type of connection, called "Adb"
To use the enhanced putty (via USB):
- Select Adb from the connection type list
- Enter "transport-usb" in the host (or any other connection string, check the adb socket interface documentation if you need something else than connecting via usb)
- Enter 5037 as port, if it's not already set there.
- Connect and enjoy (you might also save this connection, so next time you only have to double-click on the settings)
To use this via wireless adb:
- Connect to wireless adb using a command shell: "adb connect IPORT" (substitute ip and port for the real values)
- Enter "transport-any" in the host
- Enter 5037 as port if it's not already set there
- Connect and enjoy
To use this via the android emulator:
- Enter "transport-local" in the host. Everything else is the same
If you have multiple devices (for example multiple devices connected to usb and/or wileressly)
- Enter "transport:serial-number" in the host, where you substitute "serial-number" with the serial of the device you get by using "adb devices". Everything else is the same.

Thanks
Great job
Love to use putty.
If this do what your say it's good buy adb shell!!

i am using putty for a long time, and i just tried urs, it looks great but i failed to connect coz i'm connecting to 2 devices....
so how can i add the -s param to specify which phone i'm gonna connect?
thx
EDIT: wow!!! i removed one of my devices and connected to it now!! ctrl-U now works!!!! THANK YOU!!!
EDIT2: quick question. if i use a normal putty, where to type in 0012transport-usb and 0006shell: ? i typed them in the term but it closed after 0006shell

Thanks. It works, but any idea how to get the up and down arrow keys to work on Putty? They work on the windows adb shell.

The complete specification is here: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pl...T;hb=f41986bbc79055a4feed7266cac5c1b540296daf
This is what you can use:
- transport-any (either usb or local emulator)
- transport-usb (the only usb device)
- transport-local (the only emulator)
- transport:SERIALNUMBER (the concrete device with the appropriate serial number)
so in your case you have to use the latter.
For the second question, you need to ensure that all of the things are present:
- You are using RAW mode (connecting to localhost:5037)
- Line discipline is on "Force OFF" (in the terminal settings dialog)
- You make some pause between writing the two commands
- You don't press enter/backspace or any other key while entering the commands (the easiest way is to write the commands in eg. notepad, copy them, and paste them into putty by pressing ****+RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON)

The up and down arrow keys were actually handled by cmd.exe, which is non existent in putty. Instead it's now the responsibility of the shell to do the hard work. The included sh in the phone's sotfware (toolbox sh) is mostly useless here, but if you have busybox installed, you might want to run "busybox sh" after connecting (some rooted phones have busybox's sh as default, on them it should work out of the box).
Busybox's sh can not only handle the up and down arrows, but other things like tab completion works too.

ADB over wireless ?
Hi, thanks for your great work
I'm using ADB Wireless
The first step is to connect first with
Code:
adb.exe connect 192.168.6.14:5555
And then the standard procedure
Is it possible for you to include these two phases directly inside Putty ?
So we just have to enter the IP address of the phone and here we go
PS : to disconnect, we have to do
Code:
adb.exe disconnect 192.168.6.14:5555
but that's not an obligation

seems to be a windows/putty problem because adb shell works wonderful on ubuntu with the default shell ...
btw. you can also easily get a sshd (dropbear) running. then you can ssh onto the device over wifi ... i can provide the binary+explanation if anybody is interested.

I'm very interested in that !

here is the explanation how to set it up (cyanogenmod wiki):
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Howto:_Connect_to_Device_with_SSH
basically you have to create the keys on your pc and copy them onto the device. then you can connect via key-auth. if you want dropbear to autostart @boot you could add it to playlogos1 ...
and here are the binary's you need (including the missing dropbear-keygen) and a bash binary:
http://www.multiupload.com/B0L9FDQHPB
bash is optional of course but it's very nice to have tab-completion and the other improvements bash offers over sh. to replace sh with bash do the following:
Code:
cp bash /system/bin/
chmod 0755 /system/bin/bash
mv /system/bin/sh /system/bin/sh_OLD
ln -s /system/bin/bash /system/bin/sh
the chmod is really important. i forgot it once and then was unable to get shell access even over adb. was a pain in the ass to fix it again

You seem to miss the point of this development. First, your method is mentioned as one of the possible workarounds in the first post. Second you need to have some kind of telnet/ssh server running on the phone, which you don't need, if using adb.
Meanwhile you don't even need a rooted phone or busybox or anything to get this thing working.
The main problem with adb shell under windows, that it uses the standard cmd.exe to run, and uses the standard cmd.exe's "readline" support, which only supports the up and down keys for history (and even that it only supports that within one session).
Putty is mainly the only good (xterm compatible) terminal emulator for windows (msys's or cygwin's rxvt is good too, but "adb shell" was programmed in a way that makes it kinda useless under rxvt too). There are two ways to fix this. One is to make adb.exe more comptible with rxvt, the other is to skip adb.exe entirelly and communicate with the adb server without it. This project utilises the latter.

But what is the advantage compared to "normal" ABD

It has a real xterm compatible terminal emulator. Is you use busybox >= 1.17.1 you've got coloring, tab completion, resize events, keyboard events (applicatios like vi is working), etc.

This is the reason I recommend a faulty device: without the problems with the SGS the developments would go much slower Thank you for this putty, i have it connecting to the bash. Color coding and keys work perfectly.

Thanks for this Sztupy!

Shouldn't be too hard to do an adb pull on the configuration file that determines what keyboard your using, switch the value, do and adb push and now your stock keyboard works! That's where I'd be spending my time...
Here's what stackoverflow said:
Code:
$ adb shell ime
usage: ime list [-a] [-s]
ime enable ID
ime disable ID
ime set ID
Just for the sake of sanity, have you tried rebooting?
n00b

Boot into safe mode, hopefully it will give you stock kb and you can get in and remove the other kb. We can then go from there to figure out the issue.

Google Assistant

I have discovered a way to disable and replace Alexa with the Google Assistant through what you could call a 'privilege escalation.' I don't know anything about the Fire Phone so I don't know if you can hook it up to a PC and run ADB commands to it. Can you even download Google apps (sorry if this sounds stupid)?
Anyways, I need some testers to see how widespread this is. In android there is a permission set called WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS. Basically you can create an app with that said permission in it's manifest. Doing so allows the app to be escalated to a 'root user' in order to edit, remove and or manipulate a set of settings Android called Settings.Secure. In this set of settings are three tiers: System, Secure and Global. The app, or anyone with access to ADB, can run a command to add, remove or change the values of some of these settings.
An app currently exists and is available on the Play Store, that edits these settings; Settings Database Editor. I need you to do the following steps for me please and thank you:
1. Download, install the app, but don't edit anything yet.
2. Hook the device up to your PC and open an ADB window.
3. Type and hit enter when done:
Code:
adb shell pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
4. Go back to the Settings Database Editor app and tap on the Secure tab.
4. Locate the following three lines, if they exist:
Code:
"alexa_enabled"
"assistant"
"voice_interaction_service"
"voice_recognition_service"
5. Go back to the ADB window. Type each of the commands below, hitting enter after each one. You won't see any reply or messages if the commands are successful:
Code:
adb shell settings put secure assistant com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.voiceinteraction.GsaVoiceInteractionService
adb shell settings put secure voice_interaction_service com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.voiceinteraction.GsaVoiceInteractionService
adb shell settings put secure voice_recognition_service com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.voicesearch.serviceapi.GoogleRecognitionService
adb shell settings put secure alexa_enabled 0
If the last command doesn't work, go to the Settings Database Editor app and tap on secure tab. Locate the alexa_enabled setting and tap it. change the 1 to a 0 and save the setting.
6. Open the Google App and go to settings > voice > Configure 'Ok Google" or your Assistant.
The more who confirm this, the better

How can I disable double tap of home button who activates the "voice input", who is no longer avaible as Amazon decided... THANKS THEM

Hi DragonFire1024,
Thanks for this very interesting post I was just wondering by to see if anyone had unlocked the bootloader :laugh:
Problem with the fire phone is probably 98% of users here use one of @ggow custom ROM's LineageOS 11 or the AOSP based SlimKat and Nexus Rom. Those running the Stock ROM are likely not interested in development hence why no reply's.
To be honest I never even gave the Fire OS a chance before rooting and switching to the Nexus ROM. I am not sure our fire OS has Alexa :silly: or at least as we know it today yes you heard correct a Premium Amazon Device and they see fit not push it out to Amazon device owners. In fact they just went one better and removed the voice service altogether. https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/general/amazon-voice-services-fire-phone-t3681235 Pretty amazoning :laugh
I was kinda hoping it was to make way for Alexa and a Massive OS Update but I guess thats just wishful thinking. :laugh:

Alternative Keyboard / Language Firestick 4k

I checked the forums and couldn't find that this was answered. I got a Firestick 4k and want to change the on screen keyboard / language to something other than supported languages (yes I see where you can go in settings to change).
I sideloaded a keyboard app that I use on other android devices but it doesn't seem to do anything with the firestick and and an external keyboard - it's not bringing up the custom keyboard app.
Any suggestions?

there are 2 options:
1st you need to activate and set new KeyBoard via adb:
Code:
ime list
Here is the example list of installed keyboards, look at 1st line with keyboard ID:
mantis:/ $ ime list
com.amazon.tv.ime/.FireTVIME:
mId=com.amazon.tv.ime/.FireTVIME mSettingsActivityName=null mSupportsSwitchingToNextInputMethod=true
mIsDefaultResId=0x0
Service:
...
org.liskovsoft.leankeykeyboard.pro/com.google.leanback.ime.LeanbackImeService:
mId=org.liskovsoft.leankeykeyboard.pro/com.google.leanback.ime.LeanbackImeService mSettingsActivityName=null mSupportsSwitchingToNextInputMethod=false
mIsDefaultResId=0x0
Service:
...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
next enable desired one and set it default:
Code:
ime enable org.liskovsoft.leankeykeyboard.pro/com.google.leanback.ime.LeanbackImeService
Code:
ime set org.liskovsoft.leankeykeyboard.pro/com.google.leanback.ime.LeanbackImeService
thats it.
2nd option is install Buttons Remapper apk and define there any key press to show Choose Keyboard dialogue. You'll can switch between keyboards from UI.

I have installed the LeanKey Keyboard_v4.3.39 on my 4k Firststick and tried to open it (in case something had to be started for this process to work)
If i type in
"ime list"
That only lists the default keyboard for me.
If i type in:
ime enable org.liskovsoft.leankeykeyboard.pro/com.google.leanback.ime.LeanbackImeService
i get the error "Unknown ID com.amazon.tv.ime/.FireTVIME

Yes, I used both on FireTV 4K before, but "ime" part was tested on previous OS release (probably 6.2.6.3).
There is still option to enable it without root by writing secure settings, you can use companion app for it: FireTVjack.
You must grant this app permission to write secure settings via adb:
Code:
adb shell
pm grant com.amazon.fireh1jack android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
pm grant com.amazon.fireh1jack android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION
pm grant com.amazon.fireh1jack android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW
and reboot. It will activate LeanKey Keyboard on boot. It also have language switch for RU/UK/DE/EN language.

Nope. Only thing needed to add/switch keyboard is to write its component to secure settings. On unrooted FireTV, user can't write those settings, but programs with granted WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS perms can. In h1jack there is OnBootComplete receiver which looks for exact packages and add them to settings if exist.
Code:
("org.liskovsoft.leankeykeyboard.pro", "com.google.leanback.ime.LeanbackImeService");
("com.example.semitop7.FireTVStyle", ".FireTVStyleIME");
It worked on unrooted 6.2.6.5 without issues. Why it doesn't work for you on 6.2.6.6? I don't know, and can't test because my 4K rooted and LeanKeyKeyboard Pro works fine. Does your version match (it must have id - org.liskovsoft.leankeykeyboard.pro and 4.3.30 version)?
P.S. What output you have with that command on adb:

You can try different keyboards with voice options, but probably most of them rely on Google Search itself. Even with Google Search installed I can switch to it with keyboard chooser, but voice input doesn't work for that apk version. Maybe others will work somehow.

You can install apk which can edit settings (Settings Database Editor for example), grant needed permission to it and use it's UI to edit settings db directly.

[MOD]No notch ? Welcome to the immersive mode ! Remove the notification bar

Hi,
Our Xiaomi MI 9T is splendid with its great AMOLED full screen without any notch or hole.
However, the web browsers like Chrome (and others apps) doesn't propose the possibility in the settings to remove the notification bar and to get a true immersive full screen mode.
No problem, adb is there!
No need to root the smartphone.
EDIT: I have tested "Immersive Manager Application" from Google Play Store and it's perfect. Very simple and it works even when you reboot your phone.
No more need to type adb commands below except at least few adb commands to grant the Secure Settings permission to the app. This is well explained by the application when you launch it the first time.
I let the adb commands below for information in case we had some "purists" who prefer adb than an immersive app.
1/ Enable the Developper mode
Go to Parameters/ About the phone
Click many times (at least 10) on the MIUI Version to activate the Developper mode
2/ Enable USB Debugging
Go to Parameters/... Others parameters/Developper options
Click on USB debugging

Get adb.exe on the net (very easy)
Put it in a folder of your PC (for instance C:/adb)
Connect your smartphone to the PC
Launch a DOS command window
Go to the adb folder => cd /adb
To check if your smartphone is ready, type:

Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=com.android.chrome,com.google.android.apps.photos
Note: Each time you enter this command, you cancel the previous one. You need to type only one command with all the apps you want to remove the notification bar (names of app are separated by a comma ,).
5b/ For instance, if you want to hide the notification bar for all the applications
Code:
adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*

Hi,
Our Xiaomi MI 9T is splendid with its great AMOLED full screen without any notch or hole.
However, the web browsers like Chrome (and others apps) doesn't propose the possibility in the settings to remove the notification bar and to get a true immersive full screen mode.
No problem, adb is there!
No need to root the smartphone.

Thanks for the instructions bro... I like the immersive mode on all the apps but i do not in instagram app, What is the command to get the immersive mode on all the apps but not in some specifics one?

The setting is reset on reboots. How can it be persisted?

Do you have root permissions? If the asnwer is "yes" you can do this:
Install terminal emulator from google play store. Open it and writte "su"
now writte this:
settings put global policy_control immersive.status=*
Tachan! you have immensive mode active. Only save the command in a note app. Always you reboot your phone the only thing you have to do is open terminal, su and paste your command.
A lot more easy and fast than do it with adb. the only "problem" is you need root.
If someone knows how to add an exception, please say so.

How do you show it on lock screen? Any ideas?

Enable USB debugging (security settings) under developer options.
I used SystemUI Tuner as it allows for blacklisting apps (sucha as whatsapp) that don´t manage full screen well.

Thank you! It worked, but as stated above, it reset after phone restart.
Maybe running a tasker command at boot might fix it ?
Edit: Use the Immersive Manager app (thank me later!)

No, it's not necessary to unlock the bootloader.
You have just to activate the developper mode as I indicate it.

Yes, it's true. Each time you reboot the phone, you should loose the setting.
And good point, thank you Ramsyst, I didn't check on Google Play Store the myriad of immersive mode applications!!
I have tested "Immersive Manager Application" and it's perfect. Very simple and it works even when you reboot your phone. :good::good:
I had previously created a task with Tasker and AutoTools (paid version) to change the immersive mode with the "Custom Setting" feature. But knowing that there are many apps (free and paid version) doing that better than AutoTools, it's not usefull to describe how I did it.

Thank you too! I didn't know this immersive mode was possible until i stumbled on your thread. Now, we can all enjoy that beautiful screen 100%!

No devices / emulator found ... Please help. I instal drivers do all on this topic

With Tasker you already have an option to make all apps you want to go immersive! There is no need to use any other command or app.
I believe everybody in the world should buy tasker
Is the best Android app. It may looks hard in the begining, but your imagination is the limit to do whatever you want.

Hi how can i used this on split screen but in full screen mode with status bar and navigation?

You're right. I had never tested the split screen function. The notification bar is not hidden on split screen mode even when immersive mode is activated. The result is a bit weird as there is a mix of notification bar and app on the top of the screen.
"Google search" indicates that you are not the first one to face this issue... but apparently no solution has been found so far.
If somebody can help.
