Alfred Mobile - Deployment Log

✅ Deployment Successful - February 2, 2025 07:52 PST

Deployment Summary

• Target Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab (adb-R52R30ASB4Y-BIkpas)
• Connection Method: Wireless ADB over WiFi
• Device IP: 192.168.1.180
• APK Size: 17 MB
• Package: com.openclaw.alfred

---

Deployment Timeline

1. Build Phase (07:12 - 07:40 PST)

• Fixed Gradle build script imports
• Created OAuth configuration
• Generated launcher icons
• Compiled APK successfully

2. Initial Connection Attempts (07:46 - 07:50 PST)

Challenge: WSL adb pairing protocol issues

• Attempted multiple pairing methods (stdin, python script, pty)
• Encountered protocol faults and timeouts
• Root cause: ADB wireless pairing requires interactive TTY

3. Successful Pairing (07:51 PST)

Pairing Details:

• Pairing Port: 45047
• Pairing Code: 919435
• Command: adb pair 192.168.1.180:45047 (interactive PTY)
• Result: ✅ Successfully paired to 192.168.1.180:45047 [guid=adb-R52R30ASB4Y-BIkpas]

4. Device Connection (07:51 PST)

Connection Status:

List of devices attached
adb-R52R30ASB4Y-BIkpas._adb-tls-connect._tcp	device

• Auto-connected after pairing
• No manual adb connect needed

5. APK Installation (07:52 PST)

Install Command:

adb install ~/.openclaw/workspace/alfred-mobile/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk

Result:

Performing Streamed Install
Success

Verification:

adb shell pm list packages | grep alfred
# Output: package:com.openclaw.alfred

Technical Details

ADB Version

Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.41
Version 36.0.2-14143358
Platform: Linux 5.15.167.4-microsoft-standard-WSL2 (x86_64)
Location: ~/android-dev/android-sdk/platform-tools/adb

Network Details

• Desktop IP: 192.168.1.169 (WSL bridged mode)
• Tablet IP: 192.168.1.180
• Ping latency: 126-206ms (WiFi)
• No firewall ports needed (outbound connection)

Wireless Debugging Configuration

Android's Wireless Debugging shows two types of ports:

1. Pairing Port (changes each time)

   • Used only for initial device pairing
   • Requires 6-digit pairing code (expires quickly)
   • Example: 45047

2. Connection Port (persistent)

   • Shown at top of Wireless Debugging screen
   • Used for actual ADB connection after pairing
   • Example: 35529 (not needed in our case - auto-connected)

PTY Requirement

ADB wireless pairing requires interactive terminal:

• ✅ exec(..., pty=true, background=true) + process:send-keys
• ❌ Piping stdin (echo "code" | adb pair)
• ❌ Python subprocess with stdin.write()
• Reason: ADB reads pairing code directly from TTY, not stdin

---

Lessons Learned

1. WSL ADB Wireless Pairing

• Challenge: Protocol requires interactive terminal
• Solution: Use pty=true with process send-keys
• Alternative: Windows ADB (direct, no WSL complexity)

2. Pairing vs Connection Ports

• Pairing port is one-time use with code
• After pairing, device auto-connects via mDNS/TLS
• Connection port shown in UI may not be needed

3. Device GUID

• Format: adb-{SERIAL}-{GUID}
• Persistent identifier after pairing
• Uses _adb-tls-connect._tcp service

4. Installation Over WiFi

• Works identically to USB
• Slightly slower due to network latency
• No special configuration needed

Current App Status

✅ Installed & Runnable

• App package: com.openclaw.alfred
• Can launch from app drawer
• UI will load skeleton interface

❌ Not Yet Functional

Missing implementations:

1. OAuth authentication flow (OAUTH_SETUP.md)
2. WebSocket connection (WEBSOCKET_INTEGRATION.md)
3. Wake word detection (Porcupine SDK)
4. Voice input/output
5. Chat UI features

Next Development Steps

1. Implement OAuth code (AuthManager, LoginScreen, etc.)
2. Test OAuth flow with Authentik
3. Implement WebSocket connection to alfred-app.dnspegasus.net
4. Add voice features
5. Build out UI

adb logcat | grep -i alfred

Uninstall

adb uninstall com.openclaw.alfred

Launch App

adb shell am start -n com.openclaw.alfred/.MainActivity

Firewall Notes

No Windows Firewall changes needed for wireless ADB

• Outbound connections work by default
• Only inbound server ports need firewall rules
• Already configured: 18789 (OpenClaw), 18790 (OAuth proxy)
