Using LADB (Local ADB Shell App) i tried turning my SD card into expandable internal storage (or adoptable storage, which isnt availabe on my samsung).I am unfortunatly not able to connect my phone to a computer, but it should work the same through the local shell.
The command sm partition disk:179,32 private or even sm partition disk:179,32 mixed 50 should expand my current internal storage. The "mixed" option even shows half of the original cards storage as a secondary sd card in my file system, but there is no change in internal storage at all. sm partition disk:179,32 public is not effecitve as well.
There are three tiers to Android customization: things you can do by default, things you can do with ADB, and things you can do with root. While root is still pretty tricky to get, ADB mods just got a lot easier.
Back in Android 9, Google added a feature that allowed you to wirelessly send ADB commands from a computer to your phone over a Wi-Fi network. Not particularly groundbreaking, but it laid the groundwork.
Enter developer Tyler Nijmeh and his new app, LADB. It creates a local host entirely on-phone, then acts as if it's a computer on your network. From there, it's just a matter of connecting to your phone's own wireless ADB feature, meaning you no longer need a computer to use the feature!
Heads up, this app does cost three bucks. If you're not okay with that, you can go to the app's GitHub page and compile the APK from source for free. Here's a Stack Overflow thread that should be a good starting point if you want to go that route.
Now, you'll need to enable the underlying Android feature that makes this app work. Head to your Settings, then scroll down and select "System," then tap "Advanced" and choose "Developer Options." On some phones, the Developer Options entry may be listed at the very bottom of the main Settings screen instead.
While we tested this and found it working on essentially every modern Android phone sold in the US in the last four years, not every device is guaranteed to have the Wireless Debugging feature. It's part of AOSP, Android's open source code base, but OEMs sometimes remove functionality from their skinned versions of Android. If your phone doesn't have this option, sadly, LADB won't work for you.
Next, you'll just have to connect LADB's local host to your phone's wireless ADB function. But depending on what Android version you're running, that can be either incredibly easy or a little clunky. We'll start with the clunky one (newer Android versions), so if you're running Android 10 or lower, click here to skip ahead.
Starting with Android 11, the new Wireless Debugging feature is complete. That means it even has a proper security system where you have to enter credentials to send commands, which complicates things in this instance.
So when you first launch LADB on Android 11, you'll see a popup asking you to input the port number and pairing code. Since the popup in Settings that shows the pairing code was meant to be read on your phone while you're typing it into a computer, the system automatically changes the pairing code as soon as it closes.
So you'll need to open your Settings app in split-screen view to keep the popup from closing. While LADB is prompting you for the numbers, enter multitasking view and tap the app's icon at the top of its card, then select "Split Screen." Next, select the Settings card from the mini multitasking view that appears to make it the second screen. Or if you're on Samsung, select "Settings" from the list.
Now it's just a matter of copying the numbers over. Under IP address & Port in the Settings popup, you'll see a series of numbers, then a colon, then another number. The number after the colon is what you should enter into the Port field in the LADB popup. Then the pairing code goes in the Pairing Code box and you can now tap "Okay" in LADB.
You'll see a message in the LADB terminal saying "Waiting for device to accept connection." This could take up to two minutes, so be patient. When the connection is complete, you should get a notification from Android System telling you "Wireless debugging connected."
In the future, you won't have to do all of this stuff. LADB and Android both save their Wireless ADB pairs, so the next time you need to send an ADB shell command, you'll just have to open the app and type it in!
If you're on Android 9 or 10, this part is so much easier. Just open the app, then tick the box next to "Always allow" and select "Allow" when prompted to "Allow USB Debugging." You'll then be shown the command line, ready to accept a command!
Now you're ready to send ADB shell commands to your own phone. Keep in mind this is an ADB shell, meaning you don't get access to commands like "adb reboot-bootloader." Instead, you can only run commands that normally begin with "adb shell."
Then perhaps the most practical use for this is uninstalling bloatware apps without having to struggle with a PC connection or using root access. It's a fairly simple process once you have LADB set up, so check it out at the link below.
Thanks for the article! This is awesome and totally helps support me and my development. I just wanted to say, I'm available for support if you have questions or need help with the app. I'm dedicated to this project and I want to support my userbase.

Welcome to the roundup of the best new Android applications and live wallpapers that went live in the Play Store or were spotted by us in the previous two weeks or so. Today's roundup is sponsored by CallApp, an excellent caller identifier and blocking tool that also offers call recording. Of course, we also have a few more titles to share with everyone today, such as Proton Calendar, a new calendar app from the creators of ProtonMail. We also have an app that allows you to run ADB shell commands locally without root. So without further ado, here are all of the new and notable Android apps released on the Play Store in the last two weeks.
CallApp is a free caller identification, call blocking, and call recording solution for Android. It comes equipped with an intelligent caller ID system that allows users to block or blacklist spammers, scammers, telemarketers, and robocalls with ease. CallApp also uses caller ID anti-spoofing technology to ensure that the number you see on your screen is the actual number that's trying to reach you, plus it includes visual customization options, automatic call recording, and more. These features are available for free in the base version of CallApp, and you can eliminate ads and unlock even more features by subscribing to CallApp Premium for $1.99 per month.
At this point, I'm sure many people are familiar with Proton Mail, a popular end-to-end encrypted email service. Well, the same people behind this secure email service now offer an encrypted calendar app. This app arrived on the Play Store in early access this week, though it's currently exclusive to ProtonMail and ProtonVPN subscribers. Still, if you're security-conscious and are looking for a secure calendar app, you'll probably want to keep an eye on Proton Calendar's development.
