i understand that both these apps allow you to access the underlying linux distros shell. however is that shell a complete bash shell or somthing smaller. if it were a complete bash shell would you not be able to run text based apps like vi and mplayer.
It isn't a full bash shell, you're limited to:
a) commands the phone has (even cp is missing ffs).
b) commands the application has access to.
Wow that sucks. But thanks for the bad news.
No, some commands are completely missing (eg, cp really *isn't* there).
If you have root access on your phone, with an "su" command, these apps can get access to everything. But it's really kinda useless, using adb shell is much better.
terminal emulator
how to open apps through terminal emulator?
and how to control whole android phone by terminal emulator?
Greetings to all!
Can You tell me how can i use shell in WF, what can i do in/with shell, is shell useful for working with, where can i find commands for android shell...?!
I'v installed it but when i type "Su" there is no action only "command not found" also when i type some other commands...
You must be rooted and have Superuser installed to allow terminal emulator to access SU.
Im rooted!
Have you got the Superuser App? Because, at the very least, atleast the "su" command should work on the terminal emulator, irrespective of others.
Anyway, some read through threads for shell and it's commands:

Yes, i have...Thats why is strange for me...
I rooted WF on my Linux Ubuntu 10.10...
You'll need the android development kit from google. Extra the tools to your personal user bin folder. (~/bin) add into your path statement. Open interval in you should not have adb working. In the terminal using adb issue adb shell. You will now be in a shell on your phone through your computer

Hi All.
I have been searching the web for an answer but I cant find it.
I want to be able to execute root applications from adb shell.
i.e. without going into the shell.
for example:
adb shell tcpdump
At the moment I get : no suitable devices found which is because tcpdump is not executed as root.
is there any way to give adb root permissions?
Thanks,
Dekel
