Quick answer

aShell: A local ADB shell for Shizuku powered android devices

F-Droid repository metadata

aShell is a local ADB shell for [Shizuku](https://shizuku.rikka.app/) powered android devices. Requirements - A fully working [Shizuku](https://shizuku.rikka.app/) (a completely open-source project) environment. If you are not aware about Shizuku or don't want to use it, please do not bother installing this app. It simply won't work. - Basic knowledge about adb/Linux command-line. Features - An elegantly designed user interface. - Included a bundle of examples about common adb commands. - Now comes with an in-built file manager to access privileged file system. - Handles continuously running commands, such as logcat, top, etc. - Search for specific text from the last command output. - Option to save last command output as a text file. - Bookmark frequently using commands. - An auto-dark/light theme. - A lot more. Translations Please help me to translate this application via POEditor. You may also translate after downloading the original language string available GitHub.

How to install

  1. Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
  2. Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
  3. Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
  4. If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
