In Debian, there are "android tools" packages and adb and fastboot are simply there. Otherwise, the executable may come with any of Android API packages.

So this runs on Linux. Install adb does nothing. Own command has no command input to use. Need a on-phone file-browser for file to pull. Need option to save logcat to a file. Small things.

I run adb CLI without much ado.

Thanks for the help, I'll check.

Edit: own command, intended to allow users to write their command in the same red area, But I'll check, and yes save logcat into file is coming.

ANNOUNCEMENT:
one year & half ago I've created this tool, the main idea was not new, it has been implemented so many times, but I believe that majority of implementations has just covered the most basic and direct commands of ADB/Fastboot,

So, this revive shall FIX WHATEVER PROBLEM YOU FACED WITH THE OLD TOOL. make sure to check the changelog [2nd post].

INSTALLATION :

(make sure you have java installed on your PC)
• first you have to install ADB Installer tool, it will install ADB to your System directly, so no need for any additional files (make sure to give @Snoop05 a Thanks :good .
• then run Simple ADB.jar and that's it!

GUIDE :

• select from "ADB", "Fastboot" or "Your own command" buttons :

- if "ADB" is selected the combobox will contain lots of adb commands :
Check if Device connected properly (adb devices).
Android Logcat.
Install a specific APK file(Android Application).
Uninstall apk <package> .
pull a file from your Android Device to your PC.
push a file from your PC to your Android Device.
View tasks running in your Android device.
Check your Android Device Memory usage.
Check your Android Device storage usage.
Kill all background processes.
Normal Reboot.
Reboot to recovery mode
Reboot to download mode (for Samsung Devices).
Reboot to bootloader mode.
Unlock Patterns/passwords [first method]
Unlock Patterns/passwords [formatting phone method]

- if "Fastboot" is selected the combobox will contain lots of Fastboot commands :
Reboot to Fastboot mode.
Flash Update.zip.
Flash recovery.img.
Flash boot.img.
Wipe (System,data & cache) before restoring nandroid backup.
Flash system.img.
Flash data.img.
Flash cache.img.

- if "Your own command" is selected the combobox will be disabled , and you can write your (still one line) command in the red area.

• Hit Activate to (well, activate the command :cyclops: ).

• Hit Abort to stop the currently running operation ( please think twice before aborting a command).

• You have the Options menu that contains :
-Donate : to support my development and studying (first year college :cyclops: )
- Main thread : to visit this thread.
- ADB Installer : to visit ADB Installer thread.
- Reset : to set the frame as you first opened it.

COMPATIBILITY:

windows (till now)
•the first issue preventing it from being compatible with other OS's is that the way java is executing commands, it's tricky to keep the same simple functionality with the mass compatibility, so i'm still working on that.
•also in other OS's you need to install adb system-wide, and i didn't find any adb-installer-like tool for Linux or Mac os.
I hope i'll get help from the community

Code:

*** Disclaimer there are some commands I've never tested (like password commands), because I don't have a spare phone to test on, please use the tool at your own risk.

This seems like a really nice tool to users new to ADB, nice work man!

FYI, there is an Ubuntu package called android-tools-adb that includes ADB & Fastboot.
It also appears to be in Debian repositories, so it likely works with all Debian derivatives.

I'd be happy to help test your linux based tool if/when you get to that point.
I'm no programmer, but i've been running all linux at home for a couple years, so I might have some good ideas :highfive:

thanks, that would be great help for sure.

Just ran it in Ubuntu 14.04 with:

Code:

java -jar Simple_ADB.jar

Please change "adb devices" to "adb devices -l" (lowercase L). Longer output with board name.

Does everything work fine? Thanks for testing!

ranf · Jul 14, 2016

I only tried adb devices and logcat so far. -l is just a feature request.

More features I miss

Code:

fastboot devices -l
fastboot reboot

@ranf fastboot reboot does exists: reboot to fastboot mode

Thanks, I'll change it, and thanks for testing, feel free to test other commands

What about starting now, it would be helpful if you tested it now, it seems working, although I don't really know (why) lol

fastboot knows 2 reboots:
- reboot reboot device normally
- reboot-bootloader reboot device into bootloader

Oh I see, it's found under adb commands as reboot to bootloader, maybe I'll move it to fastboot to avoid confusion.

PalmCentro · Jul 14, 2016

Great! I love it.
Will you add more commands?

I'm open for suggestions

Also, that's why I've implemented "Your own command" option.

@Mohamed Hashem i belive i can tweak the UI to get close to the window's metro ui which is attractive, stunning and simple if you make it's source open. It's already a good program. And with some furnishings on the UI, it can be the de facto adb for a few years. What say?

well, after seeing the initial poll answers, I think I'm taking the Open-source option seriously

so whenever I publish it, You're free to do so

Also, I'm about to take a look at JavaFx to polish the ui, thus, We will have multiple good user interfaces, and this is definitely always better

I know about JavaFX and CSS stuff quite well from my self learning of 1 and a half years. I have some good metro like stylesheets ready to go with built in accent and base theme changing support. I look forward to the aforementioned happening.

I indeed ran it under linux, usual java -jar ....was able to exercise adb commands as I describe.
Will always get io-exceptions when hitting abort.
Other exceptions may be due to the Process.start()

Till now I've been using java's regular Process.start() method, It's for Windows only,
Thanks for the help, I'll check.

Edit: own command, intended to allow users to write their command in the same red area, But I'll check, and yes save logcat into file is coming.

Great!

You can run it right now as described!

Actually I think that IOExeption comes from start()
did you face other exceptions?
Besides Abort, does executing commands actually work?

You can run it right now as described!

The described solves the second problem (adb installation) but the second problem still needs testing\investigation
Thanks for testing and information
