About this app

Before you post questions or bad reviews, see FAQ
https://sisik.eu/bugjaeger_faq
If you want new feature, or something is not working, write directly to my email roman@sisik.eu

Bugjaeger tries to give you the expert tools used by Android developers for better control and deep understanding of your Android device internals.

Multitool that can save you the hassle of carrying a laptop.

If you're an Android power user, developer, geek, or hacker, this app should be in your toolkit.

How to use
1.) Enable developer options and USB debugging on your target device (https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options)

2.) Connect the device where you've installed this app to the target device via USB OTG cable

3.) Allow app to access USB device and make sure target device authorizes USB debugging

Inspecting device internals, running shell scripts, checking logs, making screenshots, sideloading, and many more tasks that are normally done on your laptop can now be performed directly between 2 mobile devices.

This app works as sort of Android to Android ADB (Android Debug Bridge) - it offers some features similar to ADB (Android Debug Bridge), but instead of running on your development machine, it runs directly on your Android device.

You connect your target device through USB OTG cable or through WiFi and you'll be able to play around with the device.

You can control your Android TV, Wear OS watch, or even Raspberry Pi with Android Things OS and Oculus VR.

Main features
- running shell scripts on target device
- sideload regular/split APKs (e.g. to Oculus Quest VR)
- sideload/flash AOSP images (e.g. Android Preview on Pixel)
- remote interactive shell
- TV remote controller
- mirroring screen + remotely control with touch gesture
- reading, filtering, and exporting device logs (logcat)
- pull APK files
- ADB backups, inspecting and extracting content of backup files
- screenshots
- performing various ADB commands for controlling your device (rebooting, going to bootloader, rotating screen, killing running apps, ...)
- launch, force-stop, disable apps
- uninstalling and installing packages, checking various details about installed apps
- copying apps between phones
- monitoring the processes, showing additional information related to processes, killing processes
- get system properties
- showing various details about Android version(e.g., SDK version, Android ID,..), Linux kernel, cpu, abi, display
- showing battery details (like e.g., temperature, health, technology, voltage,..)
- file management - pushing and pulling files from device, browsing the file system
- search and connect to Android devices on your network that configured adbd to listen on port 5555
- reading bootloader variables & info via fastboot protocol (e.g. dump some hw info, security state, or if the device was tampered)
- exec fastboot commands
- show extensive system info

For some tricks and examples of what you can do, see
https://www.sisik.eu/blog/tag:bugjaeger

For starting a youtube video or url in browser, add following custom command (or paste this into shell) in the first tab

Requirements
- Enabled USB debugging in Developer options and authorise the development device

Please note
This app uses the normal way of communicating with Android devices which requires authorisation.
The app does not bypass Android's security mechanisms or anything similar!
This means you won't be able to do some privileged tasks on non-rooted devices.

Fantastic tool for simple stuff & beyond TBH I've only used this to side load apks on quest 2 (since I don't have a PC), and does exactly what I needed once I figured out the functions/buttons etc. Connection is a bit hit and miss, but no fault of the app. Essential kit for remote interaction with other hardware when you dummy have access to non corporate PC. Thanks Devs.

Works perfectly for my Oculus Quest 2. I downloaded this to enable me to transfer files and apks of my phone to my VR headset. I'm not very good when it comes to tech or computer programming stuff, I have very basic knowledge at best but even I managed to do everything needed to get everything working on my VR headset and phone and Im very happy as now I can use Xbox gamepass on my VR headset. I had no issues, very clear instructions on how to carry out each step. Thanks to dev that created this

5 star for the great and smooth working of this wonderful app. And I would like to ask a question that howm may I connect my samsung smart TV with this app. I input the IP address but it doesn't seem like to find or recognize my TV as a device. Can you please reach to me with a answer to it. By the way I am thinking you again for building this wonderful and awesome app. It's so easy to understand and use. It works so smoothly.❤️

I'm not sure if I can help you with this. I thought Samsung TVs had their own OS (Tizen). Not Android. If it would be possible to connect via adb(Bugjaeger), then you'd probably be able to find Developer options and IP/port in your TV's settings.Thank you very much for your review🙏😊
