Setting up App Manager (non-root)

First Steps:

  1. Download the newest version: https://github.com/MuntashirAkon/AppManager/releases
  2. Install App Manager
  3. Configure basic settings (covered separately)

If you want to use App Managers advanced features, it is reccommended to setup ADB and set it to the TCP Port 5555 so App Manager can access it and locally execute ADB - Commands.

  1. Enable Developer Options (Settings → About Device → Software information → Tap on Build number 7 times)
  2. Enable ADB (Settings → (More Settings) → Developer Options)
    1. Enable USB-Debugging
    2. Enable Install over USB, Security Settings and other if you want to use these functions via ADB on your Desktop.
    3. Disable the Time Limit for ADB-Debugging Authorizations (so they don't get revoked automatically)
  3. Install ADB Platform Tools on your Computer
    1. Download for your OS from: https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools
    2. Extract the .zip file to your desired location.
    3. Open a Terminal, Commandline or PowerShell Window on your Computer and execute ADB (see the Complete Guide above for Details).
    4. If you're on GNU/Linux, you can just install adb from your Distributions Package Manager.
  4. Connect your Android Device.
  5. Execute the following Commands: adb devices to check if the device is recognized ~ and then adb tcpip 5555 (with only the Android device you want to configure connected).
  6. Open App Manager and go to Settings → Mode of operation and select ADB over TCP

If App Manager says »Working in ADB Mode« → Congratulations!
You're all set!
