# Use GramAddict without pc


## Step 1: Download and Install Termux
## Step 0: If you don't have Termux installed

You can download Termux from f-droid or the Google Play store. Get the f-droid version, since the Play store version does not support some features.

[Apk from f-droid](https://f-droid.org/it/packages/com.termux/)
or
[Official PlayStore](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.termux)

After installation you can skip to __step 2__.

## Step 1: Only if you already have Termux installed

_Skip this step if you just installed Termux_

Some packages cause things to clash and not install properly, so let's clean up our Termux.
Delete all pip packages and python:

```
# Remove all python packages

pip freeze > unins && pip uninstall -y -r unins && rm unins

# Find the path of the cache for pip...

pip cache dir

# ... and clean it

rm -rf /data/data/com.termux/files/home/.cache/pip

# Delete python completely

I think the pointless bash does it, I never reinstalled it manually


apt remove --purge python
```


## Step 2: Install required packages

pkg upgrade -y
curl -LO https://its-pointless.github.io/setup-pointless-repo.sh
bash setup-pointless-repo.sh
pkg install android-tools python build-essential cmake libjpeg-turbo libpng libxml2 libxslt freetype git -y
pip install wheel
```
pkg upgrade -y
pkg install build-essential clang make pkg-config
curl -LO https://its-pointless.github.io/setup-pointless-repo.sh
bash setup-pointless-repo.sh
pkg install android-tools python cmake libcompiler-rt libjpeg-turbo libpng libxml2 libxslt freetype git libtiff -y
```

If you want telegram reports, you should follow these extra steps

```
pip install pytz cython

pip install setuptools --upgrade

# install numpy and scipy with pkg NOT with pip

pkg install numpy

pkg install scipy

export CFLAGS=" -Wno-deprecated-declarations -Wno-unreachable-code"

export LDFLAGS=" -lm -lcompiler_rt"

# install Pandas, this can take hours, depends on your device (I don't recommend doing this over ssh)

pip install pandas

```

## Step 3: Install GramAddict

Termux puts all your files in an emulated folder structure, which can be annoying. You can install GramAddict onto a normal folder:

```
# give Termux permission to access your device's storage

termux-setup-storage

# cd into the non-emulated /sdcard/ folder

cd /sdcard
```

This procedure is slow, use -vvv in pip if you want to see if everything installing alright

git clone https://github.com/gramaddict/bot.git gramaddict
cd gramaddict
pip install -r requirements.txt

You can also install GramAddict using pip, but in that case you won't have the config-example folder ready to go.
```
# download and install GramAddict

git clone https://github.com/gramaddict/bot.git gramaddict

cd gramaddict

# I don't recommend doing this over ssh

pip install -r requirements.txt
```

If you want telegram reports, you should follow this extra step:
```
pip install GramAddict[telegram-reports]
```

## Step 4: Run

python -m uiautomator2 init
python run.py
## Step 4: Config

```
# make accounts folder and folder for your account

mkdir accounts

mkdir accounts/[your-account-name]

# download the config examples and put them in the correct folder

wget -O - https://github.com/GramAddict/bot/archive/master.tar.gz | tar -xz --strip=2 "bot-master/config-examples"

that's cool but we already have the config-example is we git clone and we can gramaddict init your_username if we're using pip

I didn't have the config-example folder, after following the old installation instructions


mv -v config-examples/* accounts/[your-account-name]

# edit the files using nano

nano accounts/[your-account-name]/config.yml

nano accounts/[your-account-name]/filters.yml

nano accounts/[your-account-name]/telegram.yml # if you're using telegram reports

# etc
```

## Step 5: Run

```
# enable wake lock to make sure your device does not go into deep sleep

termux-wake-lock

should be nice to have the adb shell setprop persist.adb.tcp.port 5555 pointed out from Fallen to have adb on boot

Agree, but requires root, would be nicer if someone found a way to do this without root on all devices

I am pretty sure you can just use termux:boot instead and let it run adb tcpip port

That'd be kind of weird though, no? Since what is it going to adb? When I run adb tcpip 5555 on an unconnected device, it just says: error: no devices/emulators found.

The whole issue is that without root, you cannot open a static port (which makes sense). There is an open port for pairing + a pairing code, which are randomised every time they are requested, so you cannot use these on boot (unless you could somehow access this info automatically with a script).

I've been trying to find a workaround, but I haven't found one so far. The closest thing to a solution for an unrooted phone seems to be installing TWRP and changing system files in recovery mode, but at that point you've already unlocked your bootloader, and you might as well tell people to just root their phones. So that's not a solution.

you are supposed to be connected to localhost already, not sure if that works via usb adb only?
SELinux just prevents you from accessing persistant adb options has nothing to do with a static port.
You can relock the boatloader after you are done changing files, problem is that is way too much effort.

How would you already be connected to localhost?

The static port part refers to the wireless pairing not having a static port. If it had a static port + pairing code, this would be 3 lines of code with Termux:boot.

I don't know about other brands, but on samsung unlocking bootloader trips knox and voids warranty, which is irreversible.

Well that is the part I was trying to figure.
If it were static then yes but it isn't.
I don't really see the point of dedicating a whole section for people who want to bot on their personal device instead of a thorwaway phone anyways.

python -m uiautomator2 init

python run.py
```
