Hi everyone, I’m using the open-source version and I’d like to know if the following is possible:

When I connect one of my devices in developer mode and manually run the command "adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural", the device successfully switches to gesture mode. However, when I try to send the same command via runCommand, it doesn't work. I’ve already tried these formats:

  • {command: "adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural"}

  • {command: "cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural"}
  • {command: "shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural"}

Is this a known limitation of the platform's scope, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Headwind MDM doesn't have full adb permissions, it has the device owner permissions. 

So you need to test whether the script is working well (use logcat to check).
