Settings Page (Step 1)

⚙️ Settings Page Overview

The Settings page is where you configure all of the critical components that make CellHasher Control run smoothly. This includes paths for system tools, ADB key management, optional Python setup, and even export/import utilities for saving your configurations.


🧩 Step 1 — Configure System Paths

Before using any features in CellHasher Control, make sure your system paths are correctly set. These paths tell the software where to find required executables like ADB, Fastboot, and Scrcpy.

Tool
Description
Example Path

ADB

Core tool used to communicate with Android devices.

C:\Users\<username>\platform-tools\adb.exe

Fastboot

Used for bootloader and flashing operations.

C:\Users\<username>\platform-tools\fastboot.exe

Heimdall

Optional — used for Samsung flashing.

C:\platform-tools\heimdall.exe

Scrcpy

Required for screen mirroring and control.

C:\Users\<username>\Downloads\scrcpy-win64-v3.3.3\scrcpy.exe

Python

Enables scripting, automation, and custom flows.

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python313\python.exe

Tip: Always use the latest versions of ADB and Scrcpy — CellHasher is continuously optimized for the newest builds.


🔽 Download the Latest Versions Automatically

If you don’t already have these installed or don’t know where to find them:

  1. Go to Settings → System Paths.

  2. Click the Download button next to each tool.

  3. CellHasher will automatically fetch and install the latest version for your system.

💡 No need to navigate manually — the download buttons ensure you’re always up-to-date with the correct version.


Python is optional but highly recommended if you want to:

  • Use custom or community scripts

  • Run automation flows

  • Access advanced ADB commands

Even though CellHasher supports no-code automation, Python integration enables faster and more flexible workflows.


🔄 Step 2 — Reset or Save Configuration

At any point, you can:

  • Reset ADB — click the red “Reset ADB” button at the top right if devices fail to appear or ADB gets stuck.

  • Save Settings — click “Save” to apply all new changes and keep them persistent across sessions.

Use the Reset ADB button if devices aren’t showing up or ADB stops responding.

🔑 Step 3 — Import ADB Key Files (Optional)

If you already have existing ADB key files from a trusted computer or previous setup, you can import them directly to avoid physically approving each device.

  1. Open Settings → ADB Keys in CellHasher Control.

  2. Click Import ADB Key and select your existing adbkey and adbkey.pub files.

  3. Click (Switch) button on the ADB key set.

🧠 Why this helps: Importing your ADB keys lets devices trust the computer automatically — no need to tap “Allow USB Debugging” on every phone.

Troubleshooting or Accepting ADB authroization: 1. Have the device plugged in via USB, start the Cellhasher software, as long as developer mode and USB Debugging is turned on in the Settings of the Device you should see this prompt appear if you didn't import the keys already.


⚙️ Step 4 — Configure Settings

After device authorization, head to Settings in CellHasher Control to:

  • Adjust button functionality

  • Verify ADB, Fastboot, and Scrcpy paths

  • Add your Python path for automation support

  • Save and apply your configuration

🤖 Step 6 — API Keys (AI Integration)

In upcoming releases, CellHasher AI will introduce advanced features for:

  • Device diagnostics

  • Automated optimization

  • Predictive management

You’ll be able to add your OpenAI, Mistral, or other API keys in this section to enable AI-based control, automation, and natural-language scripting.


✅ Summary

🗝️ How to Find Your ADB Key Files

If you’d like to import your existing ADB keys into CellHasher Control (to avoid physically approving devices again), you can find them in your system’s hidden .android folder.

Here’s where to look:

Operating System

Path to ADB Keys

🪟 Windows

C:\Users\<YourUsername>\.android\

🍎 macOS

/Users/<YourUsername>/.android/

🐧 Linux

/home/<YourUsername>/.android/

Inside that folder, you’ll find two key files:

adbkey
adbkey.pub

📦 To Import in CellHasher Control:

  1. Open Settings → ADB Keys.

  2. Click Import ADB Key.

  3. Select both adbkey and adbkey.pub.

  4. Restart CellHasher Control to apply the keys.

💡 Tip: If you don’t see the .android folder, enable Show Hidden Files in your system file explorer.
