System ui tuner app with terminal emulator

[Anthony vaccaro]

I want to use the system up tuner app but my phone is not rootable. The only other alternative is to execute 3 adb shell commands but I cannot figure out how to get them to work on terminal emulator.( I am aware that I should be using cmd on pc I just don’t have access to mine rn) My question is is it possible to do on terminal emulator? And if so, how? The commands are...

adb shell pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

adb shell pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.DUMP

adb shell pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS

Re: System up tuner app with terminal emulator

In a terminal emulator, you're already in the shell (and adb is a program running in Windows), so try:

pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.DUMP

pm grant com.zacharee1.systemuituner android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS

But the ROM probably has to be rooted to grant permissions that you normally need root to use.

(Have you checked on XDA Forums to see if your phone is rootable?)

Yeah they still can’t root my phone and I will try the commands as soon as I get home

Yeah. Terminal emulator didn’t work again, should I just use my pc?
Edit: I just used my computer to do it and it’s working perfectly, thanks for trying to help me with my dumb question

Glad you managed to get it done and thanks for the follow up! It'll be very helpful for other users trying to enable the UI Tuner.
