[Hot News] [SOLVED]: Android &quot;adb hell&quot; Command Not Working?

Android "adb hell" Command Not Working?

Google has removed one if its Easter eggs in Android Development SDK related to the support for the "adb hell" command.

Earlier, when the developers used to type "adb hell" command in place of "adb shell" command to connect to the Android smartphone or Android tablet's shell interface, the command was still going through and the developers were still able to connect to the Android device's shell prompt, albeit with the shell prompt being working in "Hell Mode" as shown in the picture.

We can see that in the "Hell Mode", all the commands and responses for the commands on the Android terminal appeared in a sort of hellish colors.

However, with a patch that was submitted and accepted into the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) code repository, this feature has been silently killed. Here is the link to the patch where the support for "adb hell" command is being removed.

This hidden easter egg along with several such Easter eggs in the AOSP code base definitely resulted in some giggles among the strong development community that stands behind Android's success. There is no clear reason we have found yet that describes why Google agreed to remove this "adb hell" command support in this patch, but this has been frowned upon by several Android developers in the community.

Do you know of any such Easter eggs that are present or have been removed now? If yes, we would love to know about them!
