  • Anyone able to connect to PMX over ADB on a non-rooted Android?

    Anyone able to connect to PMX over ADB on a non-rooted Android?

    I'm trying to test out this PMX app which was recently suggested. <https://f-droid.org/de/packages/com.mirfatif.permissionmanagerx/> <https://f-droid.org/repo/com.mirfatif.permissionmanagerx_125.apk>

    I've been using adb over USB & Wi-Fi for years, using these commands:
    adb connect 192.168.0.2:36295
    adb pair 192.168.0.2:43145 016983
    And of course I have Android Developer options & the wireless debugging
    tile enabled on my Android 13 unrootable Samsung Galaxy A32-5G phone.

    Even with all that adb wi-fi and cable-connecting experience, my initial connection of PMX over ADB failed; but at first I thought it might have
    been because I was also using screencopy mirroring over Wi-Fi at the time.
    scrcpy -s 192.168.0.2

    Even when I disconnected from screencopy, and obtained new Android adb connection and pairing codes, PMX still failed to connect, for me.

    It could be just me... which is why I ask the community at large the
    question of whether they have been able to connect to PMX over Wi-FI ADB.

    It's rare that I fail to use an app that is simply using adb, particularly
    when I've been using ADB over USB & Wi-Fi (connect & pair) for many years.

    Here's proof Windows' adb connect works just fine, for me, over Wi-Fi.

    And here's proof that PMX works fine to list out package permissions:

    Unfortunately I can't get the PMX adb (pair or connect) to work
    (which I think is needed to be able to change the package permissions).

    What am I doing wrongly?

    It is quite cumbersome - you have to open Wireless debugging in the
    developer options *and* PMX debug options in a split screen, so you can
    do the pairing in PMX using the provided code from the Wireless debug
    pairing.

    Even when I disconnected from screencopy, and obtained new Android adb connection and pairing codes, PMX still failed to connect, for me.

    It seems works somewhat here (at least the connection) - but I only use
    PMX to check existing permissions of apps, not to modify them.

    You have to run *both* apps at the same time in a split screen. When you
    leave the wireless debug settings and try to use the code in PMX
    afterwards, this will not work.
