Hi there.
I'm affected with this problem.
Some CLI linux apps works incorrectly in Terminal Emulator on my Note 3 SM-N9005.
This screens is proofs of affects.
And this is Midnight Commander.

Is there another free terminal that supports mytouch?
Delete me. I figured it out.
Is there a terminal app that works on the nexus? Terminal Emulator force closes when i try and open it and Su File Manager and Terminal Emulator doesnt have an on screen keyboard
SUFBS
if you are willing to purchase the rooted file browser, SUFBS, it has a built in terminal (with other goodies) that allows you to use the virtual keyboard. works pretty well too.
other than that, ADB I guess would be some sort of alternative.

Hmm, guess the keyboard didnt pop up the first time i used the app, but got it working in it now. Thanks
I use better terminal emulator. Works fine.
I want to edit with busybox vi running from the phone within an adb shell.
I am running a DOS box cmd window or a cygwin rxvt shell window, both don't work, where I connect to the phone with an adb shell. Then I run busybox vi. The vi runs but the default termcap or terminfo or whatever it is doesn't seem to be right because busybox vi comes up but I can't seem to get the ESC key to take so I can switch between command and insert modes of operation. On the phone it works correctly.
I hate editing on the phone. I would much rather work on the workstation.
I've read on a wiki busybox vi page that busybox vi only supports vt102. Any ideas if this should work or what I could try?
Thanks in advance.
Same here. I spend half the morning playing with TERMs, trying to get a dos or cygwin terminal to run vi. vi runs fine in Terminal emulator, but like you, I don't wan to edit on the phone.
I found JOE (Joe's Own Editor) ported to Android. I installed it because it supposedly uses TERM=unknown. That didn't work from DOS either. But it did work from a cygwin bash shell, with TERM=linux in the adb shell. Now there is the learning curve to use JOE...
I too would be happy to hear which TERM setting will work with a DOS adb shell.
Face same situation here. Is it resolved?
If not, how you gurus work around on this basic issue?
I don't know much about VNC yet. Could it be a viable direction that worth spending effort?
Adb shell and Vi - info
I too just spent a lot of time trying to get vi to work under "adb shell". ESC was especially a problem. Ultimately, I wasn't able to get it to work correctly, but SSH seems to work fine.
There are a lot of details about what I learned on Stackoverflow (I'm a new member here, so I can't post the link, but you can search for it -- the title is "adb shell: can't use the ESCAPE KEY").
Has anyone gotten this to work correctly? Or is it simply an incomplete/buggy implementation of adb's shell?
Thanks,
Barry
Asus transformer prime and Acer A500 all have native linux, all I can find is a very old and non-updated thread in Xoom... Using the VNC to operate ubuntu is very lag, it can't be daily use. Acer A500 may have the same hardware as Xoom, is that anyone can transplant the method of A500 to our Xoom?
Hi there
Someone has installed native debian http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138661 on the xoom in the past i think if more devs wanted to work on this it would be doable, dual boot with linux and android is something i would love to have, I too can't stand chroot options and spend alot of time ssh'ing into a debian box to do things on my xoom i can't do otherwise while sat on the sofa >8^P.
Are you refering to the Terminal Emulator that can be installed on any Android device?
The terminal emulator will give you access to the console where you can run several native linux commands and operate the device just like a Linux with a shell.
See if this is what you mean:

The android shell works for the most part, but lots of things tend to be missing if you typed iw or nano for example, but most people know what to expect form android shell and you can compile nano if you want. Go ahead and try compiling something with your terminal emulator.
What id like is to be able to run gnome and run native app gui's and the like or do apt-get install nano and have one os running faster than a laggy hack that chroot is, running one os on top of another.
How would I use a single Android Device to do multiple terminal registrations in apps? I am guessing a terminal emulator? If so I am new to this, are there any good tutorials on how to use them?
