ADB Terminal Shell

Dioxamine includes a full interactive ADB terminal shell that allows you to run Linux shell commands, inspect system logs, and control the target system through standard command-line tools.

Opening the Terminal Shell

1. Open the ADB tab.
2. Select the ADB Shell sub-tab at the top.
3. If an active device is connected, Dioxamine will automatically launch a live shell session and display the command prompt.

Terminal Interface Features

1. Terminal Output View

• Supports full ANSI color escape codes (color-coded text, syntax highlighting, warnings, and errors).
• Automatically scrolls with new output while allowing smooth upward touch scrolling to review previous command output.

2. Quick Toolbar Controls

Above the input bar is a utility toolbar:

• Ctrl Button: Tap to latch the Ctrl key active for your next keystroke. For example, latching Ctrl and sending c will send SIGINT (Ctrl+C) to terminate running processes (like top or logcat).
• Tab Button: Sends a tab character for shell path and command autocompletion.
• Clear Button: Clears the current terminal scroll buffer.
• Restart Button: Closes and restarts the active shell session.

3. Command Input Bar and History

• Input Field: Type any ADB shell command (e.g. pm list packages, logcat -d, df -h, top).
• History Navigation (Up / Down Arrows): Tap the up or down arrow icons next to the input field to cycle through your previously executed command history.
• Send (Enter): Submits the command to the target shell for execution.
