Idea for a very usefull app. Dev's needed

Hello all.
By flashing my device many times, I am always fed up to plug it and remove all the application I don't want, or open the zip file, remove the apk and resign the ROM.
What I have in mind is making a little app that show us all the applications in system/app ( easy) and them when clicking on them just like a adb shell rm system/app/myUnwantedApp.apk.
The browser is easy to program, but the command line is not easy. I tried with eStrongs and Astro, but they cannot remove the apk..
Cam someone help me or teach me how to enter a adb command line in my phone?
Thank a lot.

You can use a terminal emulator application like Better Term etc to run shell commands. There is nothing special about adb.
The command adb shell rm is simply running the shell first and then the "rm" command. Now, depending upon the ROM that you are using, the command adb shell will give you a root shell (or not). In any case, when you use a terminal emulator, simply use the "su" command to gain super user privileges (you have to have "su" and SuperUser.apk installed).
Since you are talking about a custom ROM, I think that root access is implied.
In any case, look at programs like Android Scripting Environment. It allows you to code scripts in an interpreted language like shell script, python etc... In your case simply write a shell script with the desired "rm ...." commands and execute them after gaining superuser permissions and make sure that your /system partition is mounted in rw mode.

HELP

I am trying to put fm radio on the droid 2 but when i try to adb remount under adb shell i get adb not found. But before i do adb shell i can see my device. HELP!!!!!
Resolved

Hello!
First off, please make sure that your topics actually state what your issue is. Typing "HELP!" for a topic won't get you the response that you want, because many people skip these threads.
Okay, do you mean that you are not able to adb remount while you are IN the shell? This makes sense, because adb is an application that allows you to access your device in a Linux terminal style. If you need to use adb to remount the device, you must first exit your shell..
$exit
C:\android-sdk\adb remount
As an example. I hope this helps!

i try but i get permission denied

Try terminal emulator

[Q] How to use Terminal Emulator just for practice?

Hi,
I want to practice bash commands on my phone.
I am trying to learn Linux.
I got Terminal Emulator for Android by Jack Palevich from the Play Store to load on my phone and get me to the command prompt, so I can run some commands in there.
But I don't want to mess up my phone as I practice.
Are there some settings I can do to config it so it doesn't actually run anything for real but just acts as a practice terminal?
Or is there a better app / method just to practice bash commands?
I know how to practice on my PC ( Google coding ground bash!) but I am looking for Android methods now.
Thanks for any help!

Well android usually doesn't have bash(some custom rom do have bash).
Android have a built-in shell with a few basic commands. That's why busybox used because it has more basic command.
I would suggest trying commands on pc since it's easier and command's have man pages and help and usage built into the commands.
If you try it on your android you can't really make too much damage(maybe delete data on sd-card) unless you use root(# marks root before your commands).
Android uses standard unix tools so most commands will work like on a linux pc.(If it doesn't you can always use busybox).

[Vulnerability] Bluestacks root access via adb

On GitHub: https://github.com/KDVB/BlueStacks-ADB-root-access​​Disclaimer​For informational purposes only. The author does not call for further actions. Created to warn users who use this product
Background​ADB (Android Debug Brigde) - is a versatile command-line tool that lets you communicate with a device. The adb command facilitates a variety of device actions, such as installing and debugging apps. adb provides access to a Unix shell that you can use to run a variety of commands on a device.
Research Walkthrough​For default, in Bluestacks, ADB port is open, but we can't to use shell command (output "error: closed")
Searching for information in the emulator files found the following file ".adbcmd" in Root.vnhd image. Path to file "dataFS\downloads". In this file we can see adb commands that we can run without connection to shell
For example, "getprop" command, that gives us information about android propetries
As we can see, interaction with android shell is working. So, I think "if I can interact with unix shell, maybe tryed to use pipe operators" and pwn i can interact with file system, but with shell-user privilage.
As a result i continue my search to find su command to get root access. SU file is in "/boot/android/android/system/xbin/bstk/su". I tryed pipe operator to get root access, but get error and shell didn't open(
After that i tryed list terminator ";" and it works. I get root shell
Result​Bluestacks have this vulnerability and people involved in its development know about it and are engaged in its elimination.

The real test is to see if you can actually do anything. Sure, you've ID'd as root, but will it actually let you change anything?

Thanks for your reply. Actually you can change in current session, but when emulator reboot, all changes remove. If we speak about system folders. In sdcard folders changes save. Sorry, I didn't mention it in the post.
When i searched information on the virtual disk, i found some scripts that build a system. That takes information from .conf files, but that works only for local work. For example, when you using OpenVPN Connect that port still open and you can interact with it.
