ADB Tools Overview

When a device is connected and active in the ADB tab, Dioxamine offers three sub-tabs at the top:

  1. Built-in Actions: A curated suite of management tiles for hardware telemetry, remote control, trackpad input, file management, app installation, screenshot capture, and rebooting.
  2. ADB Shell: An interactive terminal emulator for direct command-line execution.
  3. Plugins: Web-based modular extensions installed into Dioxamine.

Built-in Actions Suite

The Built-in Actions sub-tab provides quick access to 10 essential tool tiles:

  • Device Information: Quick inspect for hardware model, Android version, battery percentage, serial number, processor details, screen resolution, and installed package counts.
  • Process Manager: Live CPU and RAM utilization monitor, process inspector, search filter, Force Stop, and PID termination powered by DioxAgent.
  • Miscellaneous: Quick tweaks for display density (DPI), resolution, screen orientation, stay awake, demo mode, touch/pointer visualization, window animations, battery emulation, and deep link launching.
  • Remote Control: A directional D-pad remote with power, volume, media playback, TV input switching, and text injection controls tailored for phones and Android TVs.
  • Touchpad & PC Keyboard: Transform your phone into a full laptop trackpad and full-featured hardware keyboard with modifier keys, function keys, and live soft typing.
  • File Manager: Explore internal storage (/sdcard) and root directories, push multiple files from your phone, pull files back, rename, and manage folders.
  • Package Manager: Inspect installed user and system apps, install new APKs/split APKs (.apks, .xapk), pull installed apps with split reconstruction, disable bloatware, and force-stop apps.
  • Screenshot: Take instant PNG screenshots of the target device screen and save them to local storage.
  • Reboot Menu: Quickly restart into Android System, Recovery, Bootloader, Fastbootd, or shut down.
  • Sideload & Rescue: Automatically triggered when a device is connected in Recovery Sideload mode or Rescue mode to flash OTA update zips or wipe userdata.
