​
A handy and free PC program that will allow you to easily manage applications on your android device using your PC and ADB. You can disable unnecessary pre-installed system applications and bloatware, or install new ones using a modern graphical interface. And even more - with each new update, more and more functions appear in the program! This is exactly tool that you will use for many years - after trying ADB AppControl you will see that working with ADB has never been so easy.

User's Manual

Extended Version

Support the project


Important:

On PCs with Windows 7, if your device can not connect via usb, you need to install adb driver (I recomended to use my brand new Driver Installer)

Support device with android version below 7 may be limited.

To connect to the device by IP, first connect it via usb to the program and click the Enable Network Debugging button.

When you connect the device for the first time, the program will prompt you to install the ACBridge application.
This is my service application for android to provide data exchange between the device and ADB AppControl on a PC. It must be installed in order to be able to display application icons and their names, instead of their packages names like com.android.app. You can also use the program without ACBridge, but you will lose some of the cool features (no icons and no application names). Now ACBridge comes with the main program, but in the future I plan to add it to the Play Market.

The program has an Extended version with interesting features.
It was created especially for those users who like the program and who want more features.

Thanks you. I am currently working on an update server for the program and the ability to send files directly to the device by two clicks.
If you have any ideas you'd like to see in ADB AppControl, please share them with me. There is a chance that they will be implemented ;)

I ran "shell top" in the console window and it locked up. Had to force close. Love the app tho!
Click to expand...
In new updates you will love this app even more;)

Now the program does not support realtime output in the console and you may to wait 60 seconds for terminate operation by timeout.
But just write a shell in the console and your problem will be solved in a new comandline window. You can even have multiple shell windows open, which is great. By the way, you could learn about this from the user manual (and many more interesting things).

Summer ends, but the heat continues -
Meet the new update of ADB AppControl 1.4.3!
scr1.jpg scr2.jpg ext1.jpg ext2.jpg

ADB AppControl 1.4.2 update is now available!
I'll start with the most interesting - the program now has its own server. You no longer have to download updates in the archives because the program will do everything by itself. In addition, I wrote a web installer (only 30 KB in size), it is very convenient to install the program through it - you always know that you will get the latest version. Another innovations, that Windows 7 users will love - now the program itself installs android usb driver.

In fact, there are a lot of changes.
Now you can send files directly to your device and it's convenient.
the updated ACBridge, which is finally working on android 6 (a great excuse to blow dust off old devices, isn't it?).
Extended Version users will get some cool new features. Among them is a beautiful dark theme. Thanks to their support, the program got its own server (and the software was written for it)!
Thank you guys for your support!

CHANGELOG:
1.4.3:
  • Fixed some bugs
  • Improved stability
1.4.2:
  • Fixed some bugs
  • Improved stability
  • Completely redesigned and automated update system
  • Updated Platform Tools (adb) to version 30.0.4 (it seem to work faster)
  • Now, if necessary, the program will download and install the adb driver
  • Added ACBridge compatibility with Android 6
  • Added the ability to send a file to the device (in the Extended Version, you can send multiple)
  • Added a dark interface theme (beta) (in the Extended Version)
  • Added ability to select language (do you want to see your language in the list?)
  • Added a button to launch the Shell terminal in a separate window
  • You can add apk to the 'install' list by dragging and dropping files into the program window (in the Extended Version)
  • Previously executed commands in the console can be scrolled up and down arrows
  • Minor interface changes
  • Fixed some bugs.
  • A small Easter egg has been added to the program (which will try your luck :))
  • The screenshot can now be opened by clicking on the link in the console
  • User agreement added to the program.
Fuuh... That's all for now, but work on the project continues. I have many plans, including backing up some applications data and more debloat tools.
Be sure to leave your feedback and wishes, I love them.

Very important! If you find bugs in the new update, please let me know about them as soon as possible.

And Now, use my brand new installer to update.
Download it from my web site
Have a nice day, everyone!

    Hi guys. I was sick here, perhaps flu or... That was not easy, but now I'm normal. Right now enthusiastically working on updating 1.6.2. It will be in the coming days. I fixed some serious problems and the bug with "The Device Is Not Responding.".

    Perhaps problems with the Internet (Low speed, or VPN). In such a situation, you need to restart the program and try again.

    I fail to understand this obsession with uninstalling apps. Why? How much storage are you saving? You guys/girls know that it only is what is running that actually counts? Seemingly what MEMORY means, is totally lost.

    The only reason to delete system app is to remove spyware, adware, or useless apps preinstalled by manufacturers

    Welcome to update 1.5!
    I want to thank everyone who supports the project. It is yours support that gives the necessary motivation and allows me to implement new cool ideas!

    I am often asked: "Cyber.Cat, advise which applications should I disable on my Samsung / Xiaomi / Lenovo, etc.". Since the release of the first version of ADB AppControl, I've been asked this question so often that I just couldn't ignore it. It took me almost 4 months, from idea to implementation. Meet the Disable Unwanted Apps Wizard to help you clean up your devices.

    scr1.png

    There are a lot of changes (this is version 1.5 for a good reason).
    And the fastest way to meet them is in my YouTube video:

    And here is a list of New Year's gifts changelog:
    • Debloat Wizard. It will help clean your andoid from junk and bloatware.*
    • Improved app installation
    • Splits are now saved in .apks (zip) format
    • Splits (.apks) can be installed as a regular apk file
    • Installing folders with apk and apks files
    • Reworked dragging and dropping apk files
    • Added information about the size of apk files
    • Added About Application menu where you can find out the version of the application.
    • Added option to Delete data and application cache during disabling.
    • Added a list of supported applications to the Auto-Permissions window.
    • The context menu has been completely redesigned
    • Fixed a bug in Auto-Permissions (not all applications were displayed in the list)
    • Fixed the logic of the "Select all applications" checkbox and search.
    • Fixed bug on Windows 10 20h2 if the path contained spaces.
    And many other smaller, but no less important changes!
    * some of the Wizard's capabilities are available only in the Extended Version of the program

    You can find out what the Disconnect Wizard is and why you need it in the User Guide on the official website.
    It is important to understand that this feature was added as part of testing and a lot more will be changed and corrected. And your feedback can help a lot with that.
    Also, a lot of work was done on the program, which means bugs are possible. If you meet such, do not hesitate to write here or by mail, we will fix everything.

    Happy Holidays everyone!
    Regards, Cyber.Cat

    You can update directly from the program!
    Important!     If you have an Extended Version, you will need to reactivate program with you key after installing the update.

    Update 1.6.0 is available for download!
    First, I want to say a big thanks to everyone who supports the project. This is incredibly inspiring!
    scr1.jpg scr2.jpg scr3.jpg ext1.jpg

    As you can see, I've refreshed the ADB AppControl a bit. Hope you enjoy the new UI theme in fresh winter colors. But what you will definitely like is the optimization. There's a lot of it in this update. Updating data via bridge is now 30% faster! The program has also become more responsive and starts faster. For developers, tester and just enthusiasts, the work with logcat and shell has been improved, as well as the ability to work with adb already installed in the system has been added. And not only!

    Update 1.6.0 Brief YouTube Video

    • Optimization and bug fixes
    • Refreshed user interface
    • Improved data update via ACBridge (up to 30% faster)
    • Added support for system adb (in Extended version)
    • Added new experimental ADB key protection feature (in Extended version)
    • Added Install APK button
    • Logcat and shell open in a separate window and do not block the program
    • Added more tooltips on buttons
    • Show IP when you enable network debugging(and added to the history)
    • Controlling the list of applications from the keyboard (arrows, space, menu)
    Not bad, right? ;)

    I also want to talk about security, because one of the new ADB AppControl feature is related to it. This is an experimental function of Adb Key Protection.
    When you connect your smartphone to a PC for debugging, you need to give permission to debug (a prompt appears on the smartphone screen). For this permission to work only for this PC, and not for any other, the key is used. It's just a sequence of random characters that is stored on the PC in the C:\Users\Name\.android folder as a text file and is generated automatically the first time adb is launched on that computer. If, when granting permission on a smartphone, you select the "Always allow debugging from this device" option, the smartphone will remember this key and will no longer ask for confirmation when connecting to adb on this computer.
    Few people think about this, but the problem is that if you transfer this key file to another computer, you can connect to the same smartphone without confirmation. This method allows you to get almost complete access even to a device protected by a password and biometrics, with all the ensuing consequences. This is all relevant, of course, if the "Always allow" option is enabled.

    The ADB AppControl function encrypts the adb key and thus closes this dangerous vulnerability. By enabling it, you can safely remember the debugging permission for an unlimited number of your android devices and do not worry that someone else will be able to access them. In the near future, I plan to describe the work of protection in more detail.

    I hope you get the general idea.
    But this is an experimental feature. And this means that it may be removed in the next updates. Its further fate depends on your feedback. I understand that it is not for everyone, and for the majority it will definitely not be useful. If you think otherwise, write your opinion in the comments.
    You can download the new version here, from the official website, or update from the program.
