Usually i don't rate any app but this is a seriously amazing. I was trying to connect using WiFi adb from pc side but failed every time but this app worked for me. Thanks man you saved my ass from being depressed 🔥🔥

After update, the notification is displayed even when inactive. I know it can be disabled via global OS settings, but that is just an annoying workaround. When you migrate Android apps after a backup or anything similar, you lose OS settings. There's no way to backup this configuration! I'll probably have to look for an older apk backup. //EDIT: Well do you know any way how one can bulk backup those global settings, if you consider it to be a correct way? Google usually makes bad decisions there

My main use of this app is scrcpy. And it works wonders. I have a rooted S8+ (Exynos) using custom ROM. No problem so far. The app works as inteded, incisive features and does what is promised.

The quick settings WiFi ADB toggle should require unlocking the device before turning WiFi ADB on/off. Right now, you can toggle it without unlocking the device which poses a minuscule security risk.

Would save time for non rooted users if you just put the word "root" in your playstore title.

About this app

Note: This app only works on rooted devices. If you don't know what it means or if your device is not rooted please don't install.

WiFi ADB makes it easy to debug and test your Android apps directly on device via WiFi TCP/IP connection. No need to use USB cable. After enabling ADB over WiFi, to connect your computer to the device open the console and run

adb connect <device_ip_address>

FEATURES

• Quickly enable/disable ADB connection over WiFi TCP/IP
• Auto-enable ADB over WiFi on known WiFi networks
• Once enabled an ongoing notification is shown to remind users that ADB over WiFi is active and make it easy to disable it manually
• Temporarily increase screen-off timeout. Nine times out of 10 this is what users want during development of an Android app and testing it on device. The original screen timeout is restored when ADB over WiFi is disabled.
• Temporarily lock WiFi, prevent it from going into sleep mode (how effectively it works depends on device and Android version)
• Also acts as a Tasker plugin. Users can configure Tasker app to automatically turn on/off WiFi ADB based on defined conditions

TIPS

• Your computer must be allowed to connect to your device over ADB. The permission must be granted when your device is connected via USB cable. This needs to be done only once.

• If your development computer is Unix/Linux or Mac open a console and run

while true ; do adb connect <device_ip_address> ; sleep 15 ; done

This one-liner auto-reconnects to ADB daemon on the phone every time the link is broken for whatever reason.

• If you control the WiFi router, configure it to give the device the same IP address every time. Then assign a local DNS hostname to that IP address so that you can use it instead of an IP address in the adb connect command in the console.
