Thanks for this! I've committed another patch curing problems introduced
with the recent switch to defstruct as internal data structure in
Tramp. I have also added a customized prompt in tramp-adb.el; the
default prompt didn't work sometimes.

tramp-test.el passes now for my old Nexus 7, running Android 5.1.1. You
could run it yourself by

# env REMOTE_TEMPORARY_FILE_DIRECTORY=/adb::/sdcard/tmp make check

Indeed. My Galaxy S6, equipped with Android 7.0, fails the test
suite. It aborts in tramp-test15-copy-directory.

I plan the next Tramp release 2.3.2 end of June. It would be great, if
we could fix those problems until.
