Step-by-Step Setup Guide

1. Prepare Your Android Device

Before connecting to Drovix, USB Debugging must be enabled on the target device:

1. Open Settings on your Android phone or tablet.
2. Navigate to About Phone (or System > About Phone).
3. Tap Build Number repeatedly 7 times until you see the message "You are now a developer!".
4. Return to the main Settings menu, go to System > Developer Options (or Additional Settings > Developer Options).
5. Enable USB Debugging.
6. (Optional for Xiaomi/MIUI/HyperOS devices): Also enable USB Debugging (Security Settings) to allow touch and keyboard simulation.

2. Connection Methods

Drovix supports three distinct connection transports. Choose the method that best fits your workflow:

Option A: Direct USB Cable (Fastest, Plug-and-Play)

1. Connect your Android device to your Mac or PC using a standard USB data cable.
2. A prompt titled "Allow USB debugging?" will appear on your phone screen. Check the box Always allow from this computer and tap Allow.
3. Launch Drovix. The device will be detected automatically in the top navigation bar.

Option B: Local Wi-Fi LAN (Wireless Freedom)

1. Ensure both your computer and Android device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
2. First-time wireless setup: Connect via USB cable once, open Drovix, and run the command adb tcpip 5555 via the Command Palette (⌘K / Ctrl+K).
3. Note your device's local IP address (found in Settings > About Phone > Status > IP Address, e.g., 192.168.1.50).
4. Disconnect the USB cable. In Drovix, select Connect Wireless Device and enter 192.168.1.50:5555.

Option C: Remote Control via Tailscale Mesh VPN (Worldwide Access)

1. Install the Tailscale app on your Android device from Google Play or F-Droid, and install Tailscale on your Mac or Windows PC.
2. Sign in to the same Tailscale account on both devices.
3. Note the Tailscale IP assigned to your phone (in the 100.x.x.x range, e.g., 100.67.19.121).
4. Enable Wireless Debugging on the phone.
5. In Drovix, select Connect Tailscale Node and enter 100.67.19.121:5555. You can now monitor and control your device remotely from anywhere across the internet with end-to-end WireGuard encryption.

Frequently Asked Questions & Troubleshooting

Q: Why does Drovix show "Unauthorized" status for my device?

A: When connecting a device for the first time, Android displays an authorization dialog. Unlock your phone screen, check the box Always allow from this computer, and tap Allow. If the prompt does not appear, disconnect and reconnect the USB cable, or go to Settings > Developer Options > Revoke USB debugging authorizations and plug the cable back in.

Q: How do I resolve "Device offline" errors over Wi-Fi?

A: If a wireless connection drops, the phone may have entered deep sleep or changed its local IP address:

1. Ensure the phone's Wi-Fi stays active during sleep (Settings > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep).
2. Verify the phone's current IP address in Settings > About Phone > Status.
3. Run adb connect <IP>:5555 via the Command Palette (⌘K / Ctrl+K).

Q: How do I use Drovix with Tailscale across different networks?

A:

1. Keep the Tailscale VPN app active on both your computer and your Android device.
2. Ensure battery optimization is disabled for Tailscale on your phone so Android does not terminate the VPN process in the background.
3. In Drovix, connect directly to the phone's Tailscale 100.x.x.x address on port 5555.

Q: On macOS, Gatekeeper displays "Drovix cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer". How do I open it?

A: This is standard macOS behavior for apps distributed outside the Mac App Store. To open:

1. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security.
2. Scroll down to the Security section where you will see "Drovix was blocked from use because it is not from an identified developer".
3. Click Open Anyway and confirm with your Mac password or Touch ID.

Q: Do I need to install ADB or Android Studio separately?

A: No. Drovix comes pre-bundled with verified platform-tools binaries (adb) for both macOS and Windows. Everything works out of the box without requiring manual PATH configuration.
