Hotspot Wireless Debugging

Xposed module that makes Wireless Debugging (ADB over Wi-Fi) work over Wi-Fi Hotspot on Android 15/16.

Android 11+ only enables Wireless Debugging when the device is connected to Wi-Fi as a client. This module removes that restriction so hotspot guests can connect via ADB.

Requirements

• Android 15 to 16 QPR1
• Magisk or other Zygisk implementation
• LSPosed/Vector

Tested configurations

Device	Android	ROM	Zygisk	Xposed
enchilada	15	LineageOS 22.2	Magisk 30.7 NeoZygisk 2.3	LSPosed 1.9.2 Vector 2.0
tucana	16	LineageOS 23.2	Magisk 30.7	Vector 2.0
enchilada	16 QPR1	crDroid 12.5	Magisk 30.7	LSPosed 2.1.0

If this module works (or not) on your device/ROM, please open an issue.

Installation

Grab the APK from Xposed Module Repo, GitHub Releases, or build from source.

1. Install the APK
2. Enable the module in LSPosed for two scopes:
   • com.android.settings
   • system (System Framework)
3. Reboot

Usage

1. Enable Wi-Fi Hotspot
2. Use the Wireless Debugging toggle on the hotspot settings screen, or go to Developer Options > Wireless Debugging
3. On the first connection, pair your client device: adb pair <ip>:<pairing_port> <pairing_code>
4. Connect: adb connect <ip>:<port>

Fixed IP/port (optional)

Flip Fixed IP/port to always listen on 192.168.49.1:5555. Lets you script the command without needing mDNS in your adb build. Pairing still uses the ephemeral port shown on screen (one-time step).

How it works:

• 192.168.49.1/24 is aliased on the hotspot interface via netd (secondary address)
• A TCP proxy in system_server listens on :5555 and forwards to adbd's ephemeral TLS port (TLS is end-to-end, proxy is just a byte pipe)

Trade-off: if your upstream network also uses 192.168.49.0/24, leave this feature off to avoid routing collisions.

Building from source

Requires JDK 21 and Android SDK.

make build     # debug APK
make install   # install via Gradle
make clean

Other solutions

Magisk-WiFiADB — enables legacy adb tcpip on boot. Simpler (Magisk only, any Android), but unencrypted and not hotspot-aware.
