While ADB is usually built for developers to test applications, it’s also pretty useful for the average consumer. For example, it allows you to remove bloatware from Android devices without root. Similarly, you can prevent Android apps from accessing the clipboard. Simply put, ADB has many utilities, and now that you can run ADB from a web browser, it has become easier for users to run commands. However, some users may be looking for ways to make this process more seamless. What if you could run ADB commands on an Android device without a computer? Well, you can do that and in this guide I will show you how to run ADB commands without a PC.
Run ADB Commands on Android Without Computer (2021)
Before you start, keep in mind, Must be Android 11 or higher To be able to use this Wireless ADB Debugging feature. This feature allows you to access the ADB shell locally without a computer. Now having said all that, let’s jump in.
1. To run ADB commands on Android without a computer Install the LADB application ($2.99) from Play Store. It’s a paid app but definitely worth it.
2. Next, you need to enable Wireless debugging. To do this, open Settings and go to About phone. Here, tap on “.Build number” 7-8 times continuously. You will receive a toast notification saying “You are now a developer”. Now go back and open the “System” settings. Here you will find “Developer options”.
3. Under Developer Options, scroll down and click “Wireless debugging“. Make sure to check “Always allow” in the dialog. If you are using a OnePlus device, you should also enable “Wireless ADB Debugging”.
4. Now open the LADB application and split screen mode With the Developer Options page. You can tap and hold the LADB app in the overview menu and select the “Split screen” option.
5. While in split screen mode, tap on “Wireless debugging” (not toggle) and then “Pair device with pairing code” choice.
6. Here, write down the pairing code and port number next to the IP address. Enter these details into the LADB app just above. Now, tap on “OK”. Note that this must be done in Split screen mode so that the pairing information does not change.
7. Now wait for the LADB application to establish a local ADB connection. You can exit split screen mode. Once the connection is established, you will receive a notification within the LADB application that says “Wireless debugging connected” and “Hello world”.
8. Finally, you can run ADB commands on your Android device without any computer. No need to add adb or adb shell launchers In this application, because you are already in the local ADB shell. Just run the operational part of the command and then tap the “Home” button on the keyboard. For example, here I give Tasker Secure Write Settings with an ADB command.
