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

Good app problem though Is that the app can't detect the phone im connecting to, tried different ways to make it connect by plugging and unplugging the cord but it doesn't seem to connect. Do any of the developers or the developer itself has any suggestions on how to connect it because it's been days of trying. i tried the developer's suggestions but either of them work except for the wifi going to try it tomorrow. Im using a micro usb like the charging type but i tried 3 different cable nonwork

Great app. One small issue though. Sometimes when I want to use wireless debugging, the app will attempt to fill out the spaces for me. It's a great feature, don't get me wrong. Just sometimes the IP that's put in will be incorrect and I have to put it myself. Even when I do I have a 10-30 sec window to pair. If not then the IP I've put in will get overwritten by the incorrect one. Aside from that, I ❤️ this app.

Good but the full ads are designed illegally. When trying to close them by swiping sideways it instantly opens the play store. Most of them have no timers so you have no idea when the close button should show. Lastly, when the button shows it is very hidden, it is not obvious and sometimes it mixes up with the ad background so it looks like it never shows. This is against Google's TOC so I have to report it. Ads are fine, but not this way.
