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://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!

[Q] Command prompts in fastboot mode

This may be a noob problem on my part but I have been having problems navigating fastboot through command prompt. I have been able to successfully install fastboot on my laptop and have no problem getting my streak to go into fastboot mode, but command prompt doesn't recognize my commands when I type "fastboot" after getting prompt to "c:\streak>". I have followed the guide "what you need to know about the dell streak" to the letter but no luck. Help please
You can't install fastboot you need open the command prompt and navgivate to where u have the files extracted.
For example for me I extracted repaire tool in c:/streakrepair
So I do
Cd ..
Cd ..
Cd ..
Cd streakrepair
Then u can will the fastboot commands make sure that where the fastboot file is.

Thats overcomplicating things.
Cd \streakrepair
Will do the same job.
Swyped using XDA App
I'd post the link but can't search streaksmart for how to sideload apps without adb
This should help you out on how to get unkown sources to appear.

So I should just use this command in fastboot and it will give me the option to disable this security setting?

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

I dunno whether it works on build 4, but if you have exTweaks, you can enable the mtp option from there. That works with 12.04

There are solutions available, that I am using on a daily basis:
1. first thing: ADB via Terminal
The Android SDK includes a few comandline tools. One of these is adb (Android Debug bridge) which has a few commands included,
Just to name a few: push (sent), pull (copy from device to pc/laptop), backup (user data with or without sdcard) and a few more like shell = remote terminal access to device.
Install it by: (without "")
"sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb"
then: "adb devices" and you should see your device as something like "09A48348HHHF1"
then sent (push) or copy (pull) files with "adb push /home/USER/downloads/1.avi /sdcard" or adb pull /sdcard/movie.avi /home/USER/downloads"
to see the files included in a folder type : "ls" or "ls- la"
2. Use ADB via Graphical frontend: e.g. the ADBfileexplorer by DareT0Be (THX a lot and all credits to you)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821601
It's written in JAVA and can be executed on every device running java theoretically (Ubuntu, Windows, MacOSx,....)
A little trick is written at the end of the first page to execute it. I wrote a script to run it easily:
#!/bin/bash
DIRECTORY=/home/USER/Downloads
$1 cd $DIRECTORY
$2 java -Xmx512m -jar adbfileexplorer.jar
echo $1
echo $2
Save it: Once again via terminal: "gedit SCRIPTNAME.sh" copy and paste it, change Directory to the directory of adbfileexplorer. save it.
Make it executable: sudo chmod 771 adbfileexplorer.sh
Create an alias at your desktop or where ever to easily open it.
3. USE google to find the MTP scripts and mounting solutions - Which I don't use.
If that helped YOU hit the thanks button.

Android Terminal Rom

Hey everyone ,
I was wondering if there is a Rom/if it would be possible to make a Rom which boots directly into a terminal where you could open apps and stuff with commands.
A bit like raspberry pi where you boot into the terminal and for ex. Type startx and it boots into the graphical interface ...
Thanks
