[Q] terminal emulator problems - General Questions and Answers

Ok, i looked at the other threads on here and couldn't find any helpful info. i've looked at other forums on the web and couldn't find help there either.
so I've rooted my Huawei S7, installed Titanium Backup which installed Busybox. It looks like i was able to back up everything on the tablet with titanium. I then installed Android Terminal Emulator 1.0.4, developed by Jack Palevich. But when i launch the terminal emulator, I can not run any command. Every command that i enter gets a 'permission denied' response. i have no idea why this is. Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: After some thought, when i am entering the commands, the keyboard is trying to autocomplete the commands and capitalizes the first letter of the command, so su is being entered as Su and ls is Ls. This seems like it could be the problem, perhaps? I tried turning off all the settings with the keyboard but the commands are stilling being autocompleted and autocapitalized. Any thoughts?

Does ADB require rooting your phone?

I'm trying to delete the GenieWidget from my phone, and it won't install from Applications > Manage, the uninstall option is not highlighted anymore. It use to be, but not any more, very odd. I tried Terminal, Root Explorer but those require root and I'm on stock 2.2 Froyo (Evo 4G). I tried ADB, install it, everything is fine, I even type in "adb devices" in the cmd prompt and it finds my phone. When I type "adb shell" a "$" appears and whatever I type says "permission denied".
When I type "adb" all the adb info comes up fine, when I tried to type "adb uninstall [insert apk here] I get a "failed" or I get some Java error telling me to put Java in the path (same path as the Android SDK Tools) but I have and its still not working.
Please help!
The GenieWidget lives on /system/ and requires root to access that partition. ADB itself does not require root, but the action you want does.
Any other way to get to it? This is stressing me out. I just want to delete it and add a modify one, thats all.
Like I said, it requires root.
Dude I installed it on my phone, I've deleted it multiple times, all the sudden now I can't uninstall it.
The only thing I can think of is, it came preloaded on my phone with the 2.2 Froyo update which would make since that I can't delete it without root access.

[Q] Editing file in /etc/wifi.., how?

Hi all,
Maybe some kind person can give me a hand with this:
I am trying to edit /etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf (need this for some extra auth method in my university) on a HTC Desire (non HD) with 2.2 Froyo.
I rooted the phone using "revoked", and have Astro as file explorer and a shell terminal installed on the phone, and the Android SDK with abd.exe on Win764bit.
I tried editing the file directly with Astro (which does not seem to get root rights), no success.
'tried using adb, but I always end up having a no access. adb says the daemon is started successfully, but with "remount failed: operation not permitted".
Similar things happen with adb sysrw.
I googled some and a site mentioned a cat <some-file-name-i-forgot>
that should yield a 0, but yielded a 1.
Firewall on the Windows machine is off ofc. Bear with me, I'm new to Android.
anyone?
was rooting only partially done? any ideas?

terminal emulator crash :(

Hey guys I have a rogers captivate and have had nothing but problems the last couple of days, mostly cuz im inexperienced with rooting.
Anyways, Im trying to root with this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827544
but at step #10 when I close the terminal emulator it crashes (force closes) then doesnt let me open it again. After rebooting my phone I tried steps 8-10 again and the same thing keeps happening!
Anyone have any ideas why?
Try a different terminal emulator from the market. Some of them are better than others.
still doesnt work.. I tried better terminal emulator pro and terminal emulator.

Navigation gestures in Nokia 7 plus

Hi
Has anyone tried the XDA Navigation gestures app on the Nokia 7 Plus? If so can you guide me through the process that involves granting permission via adb. I did follow the steps as mentioned, but I am not seeing the desired results.
Thanks
I tried that too. I got "permission denied" or something like that.
yes, i use it without problem, with "8.1 June" and also "P DP2rev2"... for grand use exactly adb command what app show, if you have any problem then i think is with non functional adb and/or with badly rewrite adb command, try post output from terminal/command_prompt after you second try it
btw: you have enabled USB Debuging in Developer Settings on phone right?
edit: info about installing adb is here
I had a problem using the ADB. It kept saying "adb" wasnt a correct command. But I figured out that I had to type ".\adb" to make it work
Using it here without any major issues except sometimes a bit laggy

Terminal emulator not working, need advice

Hi guys, for some strange reason whenever I hit the enter button to go to the next line on terminal emulator nothing happens! I am using it on Android 7.1.2, before downloading on google play there was a message that said "this app might not be optimized for your device", could this be why its not working? is there another app similar to terminal emulator that works just as well as terminal emulator?
