Introduction
aShell You lets you type ADB and shell commands on the phone itself, the kind you would normally send from a computer with adb shell. It started in 2024 as a Material You redesign of aShell, another developer’s app, and changed its package name soon after to avoid confusion with the original.
Where commands run
- On this phone, through Shizuku, root or wireless debugging. We found the Shizuku library in the APK.
- On another Android device, connected with an OTG cable or over wireless debugging. For that, your own phone doesn’t need Shizuku or root.
Features
From the project’s README:
- Long-running commands such as
logcat,toporwatch, with search in the output, and saving or sharing it as text. - Bookmarks for commands you use often.
- A simple file manager built on ADB push and pull.
- Local backup and restore of the app’s data.
On the roadmap: fastboot support is in progress, and an interactive shell is planned.
Good to know
- The original aShell is still developed. On Google Play it is a paid app, and its developer invites people to build it themselves for free. aShell You isn’t on Google Play.
- This file is the developer’s F-Droid flavour from GitHub, delivered through IzzyOnDroid and signed with the developer’s own key, the same key as F-Droid’s copy. That flavour can’t sign in to Google Drive for backups.
- Its in-app updater is optional and off unless you turn it on.
- The 11.5 MB file has native code for ARM and x86, 32- and 64-bit, needs Android 9 or later and declares 18 permissions.
