An app that enables wireless ADB from within a Meta Quest device without requiring a USB cable.

oculus-wireless-adb

An app that enables wireless ADB from within a Quest 2/Quest Pro VR headset.

This is done through the Android global settings provider (requires manually granting WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS).

Since the TCP port is random each time, parsing is done on logcat output (READ_LOGS permission required) in order to display it within the app.

Installation commands

adb install app-debug.apk
adb shell pm grant tdg.oculuswirelessadb android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
adb shell pm grant tdg.oculuswirelessadb android.permission.READ_LOGS

After ADB wireless is enabled, a script can be used to automatically discover and connect to it with the help of the mDNS protocol.

This app now also has a tcpip mode, which allows unauthorized/insecure connections to come through - this however needs a computer to set up for the first time, so that the embedded ADB client can be authorized so that it can enable the mode by itself in the future.

This can be achieved by running the command adb tcpip 5555 from a computer, then activating ADB from within the app, with the tcpip mode option checked.

oculus-wireless-adb's Issues

Issue with disconnection?

Recently I have been trying to use the wireless adb but it seems like the adb status goes to offline after a minute or so, last time I used was a few updates ago (Quest 2), when I wake the device again the debugging switch on the app is off... I tried setting the battery optimization to off, but nothing happened, any ideas?

Autostart and activate adb after boot

Is it possible to run this app and activate wireless adb automatically after a new boot? Everything works fine until a reboot is done.

Quest Link

I accidentaly installed this application on a quest 3 and ever since quest link is not connecting
