How-to Confirm Voodoo Lagfix is Disabled:
1. In adb shell or terminal type 'mount'
2. If it is disabled is should read '/dev/block/mmcblk0p2'.
3. If it is not disabled, it will read '/dev/block/mmcblk0p4'.
how do you use this?

Go to market and download the free app called terminal emulator to your phone. Open it and type in mount and press enter.

[Q]Can I uninstall an app via adb?

Is there a command/parameter that I can use to uninstall an app from the emulator or even a device?
I have gone through settings and I also blanked out the emulator session, but both are very time consuming. I thought maybe there was an easier way. Any suggestions?
Thanks...

adb remove (full app filename, no extension) eg adb remove com.developer.appname
or adb shell rm /data/app/(full app filename with apk extension)
to find the file name, use adb shell ls /data/app/
Thanks, I'll give it a try. I find it interesting though that the docs don't have the remove command. Also, I found an adb wiki that also does not have the remove command but does have an uninstall command. Why the differences? Oh well, even though I did not see it in the docs I should have at least tried the uninstall for grins before I posted. It is late so I will try both tomorrow.
Thanks again.

There are 2 ways that I know to get to adb shell
First u can download android sdk that contains adb shell on it,enable usb debugging on u'r phone than connect it to your pc. Then run cmd on u'r pc and point to android sdk folder than type adb shell
Second,the easiest way I think,download and install terminal emulator from market,then run it and u are on adb shell now.

i know i can adb pull but what would be the command to actually browse the system...
Use the command "adb shell" and browse as you would on your OS through the command prompt.
ex: for PCs for listing use the command "dir" and "cd" to navigate through folders
ex: for Macs you would have to use "ls"

ok, so i'm attempting to post an adb logcat output at another forum regarding an app. at the cmd prompt (of course directed to the proper tools folder) i use the following
adb logcat -f /sdcard/output.txt
hit return and i get a blinking cursor. nothing else appears to happen. am i mssing something? is there another way to create and view/save the logcat output?
thanks
mark
wouldn't it be:
Code:
adb shell
logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt

download terminal emulator in android market
Install it: https://market.android.com/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en
Run it.
Optional: learn shell commands if you don't know.
If you are using CM, I'd make sure I run bash rather than the default shell, and customise it via sourcing my customisation scripts from /ext/bash/bashrc
Example shell command?

looking at this comment of yours i would recommend you to not install emulator right now... get some knowledge about commands and then use as you can do anything to your phone using shell commands
Code:
echo "Hello World, we should read a tutorial on the command line"

Install Linux on you desktop and learn to use it. Terminal in Android is exactly the same that in Linux.

Mind telling its a clone xD
http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/
http://linuxcommand.org/learning_the_shell.php
Note if you are a windows users, install cygwin or ubuntu via wubi and play there. I also suggest to try and install adb, the adb shell is much nicer way to use the shell on your phone than terminal emulator, it uses your computer keyboard / clipboard to control shell very nicely!

Shell

What exactly is shell.... i have root permissions on my phone and every time I turn it on all the apps that need root permissions tell me with a pop up message.... then a strange app called shell pops up and starts repeting the process of asking for root permissions.... what is shell? Is it only in my phone??

Shell is nothing but terminal (it is Linux command prompt).
Android is built on Linux kernel. So it includes terminal thing and it is present on every android.
You can use Terminal Emulator from Play Store or "adb shell" command from adb to get access to terminal and execute commands. (Most of the Linux commands work if you have busybox).
Speaking about toast messages of root access-
If you have used any Linux then you will see in Linux you achieve "root" rights (much similar to administrator in Windows) by executing "su" command in terminal to get elevated administrative rights. Same command is executed by root apps to get root access and when they get access toast message pops up.
You can also get "root" access in terminal/adb shell by typing "su" command (required when you use "ls", "dd" and many other commands where you cannot normally access).
