Thanks for sharing the library and providing a demo app.

I don't have any rooted phones at the moment since I only develop for non-rooted devices so I have not been able to tested it. The library code looks pretty good.

I think it would be useful for making tools for rooted phones although that means the size of target audience is a bit limited.

Cheers,

bluejay

Thanks for the library.

I tried to run a reboot command but it didn't ask a root permission. I'm using Superuser.

Nice, Thank You!

 

[leongcc]

Thanks Fairy,

"InstallApk" works for me.

Could you elaborate the difference between:
◦execRootCmd (cmd As String) As String
◦execRootCmdSilent (cmd As String) As Int

I am guessing one is for command that returns a string and the other for command that returns Int ?
What is the format for the cmd string, could you give an example ?

Thanks again.

@icefairy333 great job!

it would be nice if it implements the following commands:

FileExist to check if a file exists
DirExist to verify whether a directory exists
cp to copy one or more files
mv to move one or more files
rm to delete one or more files

could you do?

thank you very much

 

[icefairy333]

something need busybox
but you can use others like:cat

many ROOM have in /system/bin rm cp and mv commands

thanks anyway

 

[icefairy333]

If that,you can use it directly.

Thank you very much icefairy333. I'm using your library to develop new features in my apps.

If you are interested in trying/testing the next release of My APKs Install (one of the apps will use your lib) please write me in private.

Can we toogle gps using this command? Tnx

 

[Yvon Steinthal]

Trying to do this: adb shell wm size
possible? or im out of line?

 

[DonManfred]

adb is a windows-app.
I guess you need to use (if possible at all): shell wm size or just wm size with the library.
Additionally your device needs to be rooted to use this lib
