Getting Started

This guide introduces Dioxamine, its navigation layout, and how to start managing secondary Android devices.

App Layout and Navigation

Dioxamine is organized into four main tabs along the bottom navigation bar:

  1. ADB: The central hub for ADB device management. Contains device connection controls, built-in device tools (File Manager, Package Manager, Remote Control, Touchpad, Screenshots, Reboot Menu, Sideload), an interactive ADB terminal, and custom Web plugins.
  2. Scrcpy: Real-time screen mirroring, remote touch interaction, audio forwarding, and target camera video streaming.
  3. Fastboot: Bootloader flashing utilities, kernel booting, lock state management, variable inspection, and raw Fastboot command execution.
  4. Settings: ADB RSA key management (generation, export, import), Material 3 Monet theming, language configuration, diagnostic log export, and plugin security permissions.

Requirements

To use Dioxamine effectively, ensure your setup meets the following requirements:

Host Phone (Running Dioxamine)

  • Android 7.0 (Nougat, API 24) or newer.
  • USB OTG support if connecting via cable.
  • Dynamic Material 3 colors (Monet) require Android 12 or newer.

Target Device (Device Being Controlled)

  • Developer Options enabled.
  • USB Debugging enabled (for USB OTG or TCP connections).
  • Wireless Debugging enabled (for Android 11+ Wi-Fi connections).
  • For Scrcpy audio forwarding: target device must run Android 11 (API 30) or newer.
  • For Scrcpy camera streaming: target device must run Android 12 (API 31) or newer.
  • For Scrcpy audio duplication without muting the target: target device must run Android 13 (API 33) or newer.

Enabling Developer Options on Target Device

Before connecting any target device:

  1. Open Settings on the target device.
  2. Navigate to About Phone (or About Device).
  3. Tap Build Number repeatedly (usually 7 times) until a message appears saying “You are now a developer!”.
  4. Go back to Settings > System > Developer Options (location varies slightly by manufacturer).
  5. Toggle USB Debugging to ON.
  6. If connecting wirelessly on Android 11+, also toggle Wireless Debugging to ON.
