I am intrigued by the ability to smoothly interact with an android environment. How much of that environment can I explore on my personal computer? Is there a way to access an android cli situation and see under the hood? Can I write simple personal programs like batch files or python programs that could potentially be used on my phone?

It would be so fun if windows could expose that layer of my actual personal phone in a secure way, but I don't expect that!

If I am interested in this kind of functionality where should I start?

    Hello,

    Unfortunately the access to each Android device is controlled by the manufacturer driver. You should check with the manufacturer of your phone, for example, about storage driver and file transfer drivers or applications in order to connect to Windows and be able to browse the storage. There are also 3rd Party tools such as AnyDroid that may help.

    In general, I would recommend you to consult further in a Android forum, as the community would be better equipped with specific experience in that environments and how to connect with Windows.
