Terminal Apps for 2.1

Anyone find a terminal app that works well on 2.1? Better Terminal Emulator FC's on me, and I haven't found another that works decently with the soft keyboard.

ConnectBot works great - just choose connection type local.

I use Android Terminal Emulator. Just up the font size and its good to go

how do you enter any symbols? like a * ? I tried and I get j* always

Ya I had that problem too but the best workaround I found was to use the 12# key to bring up all the numbers and symbols and I enter them that way

It's also by far the best SSH/telnet client for android.. it should be a great local terminal client as well
The help for soft keyboards should cover any questions on missing keys.

But when I try to remove a file it does not work? (I am rooted)
I have run
cd /system/app/
rm HtcLockScreen*
and
cd /system/app/
sudo rm HtcLockScreen*

you gotta mount it read/write.
/system is read only

Still very new to this,
How Do I do that?
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app/
rm HtcLockScreen*
exit
I do not have adb installed and am doing it from my phone so I am guessing I need to just do
cd /system/app/
rm HtcLockScreen*
exit

$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cd /system/app
# ls
there ull have the list of all ur system apps just, rm appname.apk or .odex

I was hoping that would give me the Android 2.1 lock screen but it did not work..
Well it did get rid of the htc lock screen
It did not have a way to slide to unlock the screen.
Thanks for the help!

ADB question

I have read many posts about ADB push/remount permission issues, etc. But unfortunately I still have not figured out what's wrong with my situation. First of all, I don't have a micro SD card, so I have to push files directly to the phone memory.
I firstly tried "adb push" but seems it doesn't work for me
$ adb push email.apk /system/app
failed to copy 'email.apk' to '/system/app/email.apk': Read-only file system
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then I searched online and people said you need to remount first. Then I got the infamous permission problem
$ adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then I tried open shell first. no go
$ adb shell
$ mount -o remount rw system/app
mount: Operation not permitted
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I searched more and found it can get su permission so to make things work. But when I hit "su(enter)" after open adb shell, I don't see the "#" showing up but still got an error message after waiting for a while
$ adb shell
$ su
Permission denied

Any one can please tell what's wrong with my operation? I rooted my G2x but didn't flash it. I installed the ROM manager and installed CWM but didn't proceed to reboot into recovery mode.

you need to look at your phone and allow superuser app to grant permission

su app? how should I set it? I didn't see anyone mentioned that. Do you care to give a bit more details? Thanks.

I think I figured out. I have to manually run the superuser app and let it say in active. Then when I type in "adb shell" the app on the handset will ask my permission. Thanks for the reminder.
Plus I am doing the following as the following that I read from another thread
adb shell
$ su
# mkdir /data/yourname
# chmod 777 /data/yourname
# exit
$ exit
adb push gps.conf /data/yourname
adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system (copy biggrin.gif)
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system (copy biggrin.gif)
# mv /data/yourname/gps.conf /system/etc

Anomaly.
Ive had some hidden apks too but i've always been able to back them up.
huh? confused4life.
All i can say is try this:
Code:
ls -l -R /system > /sdcard/syslist.txt
ls -l -R /data > /sdcard/datalist.txt
post the datalist.txt and syslist.txt files here as attachments.

You need to have a root shell first.
Try this in the terminal:
Code:

ls -l -R /system > /sdcard/syslist.txt
ls -l -R /data > /sdcard/datalist.txt

Oh... Where can I find one? For the above commands I used Terminal Emulator which has Superuser permissions.

You have type su then the console will go from $ to # meaning you have root perms.
In the picture you provided you definitely have a user shell as denoted by the $ prompt.
If you are unsure you can always type whoami and if that returns "uid 0" then you have root permissions on the current shell.
Just because the terminal emulator has the ability to become the superuser doesn't mean you are always the superuser when you run the app.
The app has to request su permissions so you have to use the su command.
I had updated the code I wanted you to type into the emulator that you were using.
Please use the new code:
Code:
su
ls -l -R /system > /sdcard/syslist.txt
ls -l -R /data > /sdcard/datalist.txt
Please run this code then upload the datalist.txt and syslist.txt files from the sdcard here as attachments.

Ohh yes you are right..I forgot it.I have so much time to use the terminal
Here you go :

Installing busybox

To install busybox on a rooted gear 2, turn root on (sdb root on) and then push this package (download.tizen.org/snapshots/2.3-wearable/common/tizen-2.3-wearable_20140605.1/repos/tizen/armv7l/packages/armv7l/busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l.rpm) to the device. Install the package (from a sdb shell on the watch) by typing "rpm -i busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv7l.rpm".
This gets you VI (a CLI text editor) on the device. Very useful when editing xml and config files.

Awesome. Thanks jumping straight on it

This is very good. Thanks.
But I wonder; do we have a use for Busybox on the Gear 2 yet ?
Thx.

Hi, when I try any install, I get "installing package busybox-1.17.1-2.3.armv71 needs 188KB on the / filesystem"
I've tried putting the package on the "SD card" (storage for music, pictures etc.) but still nothing
You guys know any solutions?

Make sure root is on and that you mount the filesystem r/w (then be sure to mount r/o after)
sdb root on
sdb shell mount -o remount,rw /
for read-only------>
sdb shell mount -o remount,ro /

I said this in my initial post. It provides VI. Without VI (or another text editor), there's no way to edit files on the device without a push/pull. Maybe you don't need that, but it's very helpful to me, and I assume to others.

I'm trying to mount my /system using the following commands in Terminal Emulator:
su
mount -rw /system
When I try and type the chmod line above, I keep getting the message:
Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory
What am I doing wrong to mount the /system file in order to perform the chmod command? I've also used ~/system, same result.....it's probably something super simple, but I'm flummoxed. Any assist would be appreciated, thanks!

The currect syntax is

?

It never even occurred to me that android is vulnerable!! I hope Google patches this in AOSP Android L!!

I have in /system/xbin an old bash file ( coming with the ROM), I must overwrite it or that's enough?

i hope the cm team will include this

If the original bash is patched (no need) just copy it as bash-arm
