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!

how to unroot my nexus s pls help

hello,
i need help to remove superuser and lock my nexus s
+after doing that should i get official updates?
i did see this topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879041
and i try this solution
ryude said:
You need to use adb to go in the file system and delete all trace of superuser and busybox. That is the only things rooting does, places those files on your phone and changes file permissions. File permissions, they won't look for, but I've had best buy scroll through the app drawer on multiple occasions looking for superuser/rom manager.
I have attached a zip containing all the files needed for adb. Since they no longer package adb with the sdk. Just open command prompt and cd to the directory containing adb. Make sure your phone has Usb Debugging enabled, then connect your phone.
You might need to download usb drivers in order for windows to recognize the device, but probably not. Once your phone is connected, do the following.
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
su
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm /system/bin/su
rm /system/bin/busybox
rm /system/bin/rootshell
reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but when i write rm /system/app/Superuser.apk it say
Read-only file system
so what should i do i only get my XS unlock then install superuser using
install-superboot-windows.bat
and i never do recovery!!!!!!
so any help
i need to get my nexus like new and i should then gt updates

You can have superuser and get updates. The update will remove root though. You could always wait for the cm nightly to include 2.3.3
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

You have to mount the /system partition as read/write.
Easiest way is use Root Explorer.
You can also try the following from adb or terminal on the phone:
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

thanks for your reply
i used Root Explorer to mount the /system partition as read/write.
and then
i did write this codes
adb devices
adb shell
su
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
and every thing was ok
but i have an error on those lines
rm /system/bin/su
rm /system/bin/busybox
rm /system/bin/rootshell
and every time i get file not found
so what i should do???

hello, tominater12 and thank you for reply
cold you tell me how i can remove superuser and root using the update??????
i want to get my nexus s like new no root no superuser
so any one can help?

hi guys,
this is my first post in the forums, but after reading and watching many videos on how to remove it i have found a solution...my nexus s is now unrooted with no superuser...
make sure u have android sdk installed, and have usb debugging on.
restart phone into recovery
open cmd and type -
cd c:/AndroidSDK/tools/
adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/app/Superuser.apk

[Q] Please help translate some adb instructions into terminal emulator commands

Hi
I have Huawei u8150, Android 2.2, Rooted with z4root.
I want to give widgetsoid access to toggle data using the android apn toggle.
The instructions are:
____
Just put the Widgetsoid apk on /system/app folder
Work only with ADB connected to the phone (doesn't work if you use root explorer or other apps like this) :
* Remount /system as read/write
* adb push Widgetsoid.apk /system/app/Widgetsoid.apk
* Remount /system as read-only
_____
Can someone tell me what I can type in terminal emulator window to achieve this. I can't use adb as it won't recognise my u8150 (It worked fine with my i9000)
Thanks

PS: Apologies if the wrong forum, but there were only 4 specific android forums, so i thought the general forum would be the best to post this type of question in.

Thanks
I had tried
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# CHMOD 777 /SYSTEM
the above works but if i try to push i get
# push
push: not found
I also tried the above then switched over to es-file explorer and was able to copy + pasted the widgetsoid.apk file from my sdcard into the /system/app directory. It correctly pasted the file, but when I clicked on widgetsoid.apk to install the apk i got an error.
"Parse Error: There is a problem parsing the package."

I wouldn't chmod /system ... just leave the permissions the same.
cp /sdcard/downloads/widgetsoid.apk /system/app/
Chmod 644 /system/app/widgetsoid.apk
No need to click install or anything like that... just reboot after copying it to /system/app.
Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk

push is an adb command. You'll want to put the apk on the sdcard then use:
cp /sdcard/Widgetsoid.apk /system/app/
That will copy it to the directory.
Nevermind, do what jeffv2 said.

THANKS! it's working now.
I had placed it in /system/app and did a reboot and it still hadn't installed
then i renamed the file from Widgetsoid2.x.apk to Widgetsoid.apk and also did chmod 644, after a reboot it has successfully installed.
I think it was the chmod 644 to the apk file that allowed it to be installed
Many thanks!

Good. Thanks for sharing this!

Media Transfer Protocol. Gives you access to your SD Card and phone storage without unmounting them from phone so your SD Card is also available through phone as well as on PC. If you access any file on your phone, it will first copy it to PC and then open it which makes it slower. But its good enough for transferring pics and music and basically MEDIA TRANSFER as the name says..

Until you get the [email protected] again you must not do any thing because the previous step is not done.....
Be patient.

What are the advantages of deodexing the stock rom?
I came across this thread and it gave me curiosity to find-out the stuff which I wanted to read for long time. Odex and deodex..
The only advantage I came across of deodexing was posibility of theme modifications.
Some thread on XDA and google said that with odex rom (1) boot will be faster.
With deodexing, they said (1) it will take up more data space (2) theoritically deodexing will slow some performance and (3) longer boot times because of big dalvik cache...
Please can you tell me exactly where I am wrong?

[Q] Moving apps 2 Ext SD 5.0.2

According to sony, the lollipop update brings back the ability to move the apps to the SD, i move the apps but they are still in the internal memory, apps like asphalt 8 that has a single file over 1.5 gigs and i cant move it to the sd, the app control says that its on the sd bus its on the internal memory as i said, some one else got this problem?

Idk. Saw this in the threads today and figured I'd copy it for later. I have the same problem.
By running code below inside your giefroot_v?\files\ folder did the trick on .77!!
(Reboot your device for changes to take effect)
adb push systemrw.sh /data/local/tmp
adb push modulecrcpatch /data/local/tmp
adb push wp_mod.ko /data/local/tmp
adb shell
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/systemrw.sh
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/modulecrcpatch
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/wp_mod.ko
su
cd /data/local/tmp
./systemrw.sh
/system is mounted as r/w (see pics)!! lol

That is not the solution here. That code fixes the system partition as read write, where as the user here wants to write to his SDcard.
Furthermore, the OP is on 5.0.2 not 4.4.4 and is trying to use a stock feature of lollipop. We do not know if he is even rooted.
