Setting Up Adb on Mac *CLOSED*

I have my Evo rooted with DC 3.1.1 and I also have Nand Unlock via Toasts Way. But I did all of this using Windows. I already installed Android SDK for Mac. But every time I try to execute a command after I do the cd /android-sdk/tools. It just says -bash: adb: command not found. Can anyone give me a hand?

same issue for me

[REF] Disable Wifi On Screen Off

Some people have picked up an annoying bug - I'm not sure where it comes from, some believe it is the voodoo kernel, I think it is probably JPC firmware or similar.
The bug: When you have wifi on and you turn the screen off, wifi does not turn off like it should.
The reality: The wifi turn-off time has been reset to the android default 15 minutes. You can change this setting if you want. (I like 10 seconds myself.)
You will need:
1. ADB root shell access.
2. SQLite3 Explorer - http://www.singular.gr/sqlite/
or SQLiteBrowser - http://sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net/
What to do:
1. shell command: busybox cp /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db /sdcard/settings.db
2. adb command: adb pull /sdcard/settings.db
3. Open settings.db in SQLExplorer
4. Right click on gservices or secure folders**, choose 'Show Data'
5. Click on the green plus icon "Insert Record"
6. Double click on name column, insert "wifi_idle_ms" - Double click on value column and insert "10000" for 10 seconds for wifi to turn off. 30000 for 30 seconds, etc.
7. Click on the green tick.
8. Right click on the folder again, choose show data, scroll to the bottom and ensure that your change has been made.
9. File -> Close Database
10. adb command: adb push settings.db /sdcard/settings.db
11. shell command: busybox mv /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db.bak
12. shell command: busybox cp /sdcard/settings.db /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db
13. shell command: chown system.system /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db
** I'm not sure if the correct folder is gservices, or secure. I believe secure is the correct one though. I just added it to both.
This is too hard:
If there are 10 or more people who have this bug but can't do the required fix, I'll make a small utility to do it for you. Let me know.

Had a quick google but how do I get my adb shell into root? The rest makes sense.

Really i dont understand why people are so fuzzed about this "bug".Im really happy with it because at home i always use wiffi and usually i stay at home in the afternoons.So i set wiffi settings to never disconect even at night.Data connection over 3g is expensive here in portugal and i have 600mb month limit wich cost about 15 euro plus my normal bill.And its not by having wifi on during 15 minutes that will drain the battery so much.Anyways i want to thank you again for your work and dedication to help people like me that have some dificulties understanding how the android system works.

Becuae WIFI, uses more battery, when not being used for data, than 3G does.
ANdpossibly, why peoples batteries, are draining so much

If you want, you can use the guide to increase it up to 30 minutes or more. Point is - choice is good.

I am having trouble getting this to work
I am typing
adb pull /sdcard/settings.db
and I am getting

This is what I have done,
Opened CMD, in the adb folder.
adb shell
su

#busybox cp /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db /sdcard/settings.db
#adb pull /sdcard/settings.db
Am I doing something wrong ?

I thought I was doing it wrong but that's exactly what I'm getting and I'm on win 7 64 too.
Maybe I should try a compatibility mode...

[ROOT] Disable charging LED

If anyone wants to disable charging LED, here's an easy way via Tasker.
Note: notifications will not cause LED to blink while charging
State, power, power any
Enter task:
1. run shell as root, "chmod 644 /sys/class/leds/red/brightness"
2. run shell as root, "echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/red/brightness"
3. run shell as root, "chmod 444 /sys/class/leds/red/brightness"
Exit task:
1. run shell as root, "chmod 644 /sys/class/leds/red/brightness"
2. run shell as root, "echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/red/brightness"

Does Tasker have root access? Check it in Magisk/superuser section.

Yes it does. I can even execute other shell commands with root without problem. Is the command you are giving maybe only valid with Nougat and not Oreo?
Thanks!

Oups, my bad, sorry for the typo in the instructions. It has to be brigHTness, not brigTHness.

Will this work on the Mi A3 too?
And will the notification led still blink when not charging the phone?
Thank you

I don't have rooted A3 at hand, so can't try it. It might work, there is no harm in sending those commands over adb shell as root user. You will see the result immediately.

Are the "Enter task" the code that should be run when the charging cable connects to the phone and the "Exit task" the one that runs when unplugging the cable?
I don't understand what this code does, and I don't want to mess up the led (that is: before I proceed, I want to know how to revert if things don't go as they should). Thank you.

Enter and exit tasks are for Tasker. If you want to try the commands from adb shell, enter those mentioned in "entry task" first and check if LED stopped glowing. To restore the original state enter commands from "exit task" (or just reboot the phone). Changes are not permanent.
Commands do the following - enable RW access to LED control, set intensity to 0%, disable RW access.

Great, thanks for the information.
Unfortunately I can't issue the commands (sorry, I'm new to the adb shell):
Code:
[email protected]:~$ adb shell chmod 644 /sys/class/leds/red/brightness
chmod: /sys/class/leds/red/brightness: Permission denied
[email protected]:~$ adb root
adbd cannot run as root in production builds

Try to run that command from terminal on the phone (or via ADB) as root. Alternatively, store the error message in some variable in Tasker and display it, so we know why exactly does it fail. On my phone it still works fine (Mi A3 now).

Could you take a screenshot of the details in Tasker for that one task which gives you an error? Maybe you have a typo there.
