[q] Why i can't type in Terminal Emulator - Samsung Galaxy Mini

why i can't type anything on terminal emulator,i have android terminal emulator and better terminal emulator.
i want to try tweaking my build.prop but i need to type something first like this link said http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588439
any idea? my phone is SGM+ gt-s5570i rooted and using custom rom.

what do you mean by typing not able to write anything or not able to execute any command

can't type anything as in. after i open the terminal emulator and i press any letter it wont show up on the screen.

maybe the background color and text color are same

After launching Terminal Emulator ... Press Menu Key > Toggle Soft Keyboard.

in better terminal it only show > and ] when i tap the center of the screen. i already tried soft keyboard and still the same can't type anything.

it happened to me once too.just installed the latest terminal emulator from google play and it was done

the better terminal is already included on repencis v3.5 advance for sgm+ so i decided to dl the android terminal emulator and i still can't type anything.

Tap menu, Preferences, then input method. Then choose your choice. Hoped it helped

Hello,
I had the same problems with the official Terminal Emulator app. (on android-x86 v2.2 emulated with VirtualBox 6.1 on Mac Os)
Another terminal emulator app from google play store does not help.
Preferences in VirtualBox about "input method" also does not help.
SOLUTION:
Inside the loaded virtual Android -> Settings -> Language and Keyboard Settings :
Disable - LIME keyboard.
Set language to default - English (US)
Then open "Android keyboard settings" and disable all extra features:
Vibrate on keypress
Sound on keypress
Auto-capitalization
Quick fixes
Show suggestions
Save settings (or just close).
Close the running Terminal Emulator app.
Start the Terminal app again and it works!
You can type everything you need with your normal keyboard.
Also you can pass some long command string from your host machine to virtual Android with a command like this:
VBoxManage controlvm YOUR_VM_NAME keyboardputstring "dir c:\\"
I have found it here:
Input -> Keyboard -> "Paste as text (send characters)" - Page 2 - virtualbox.org

Use "better terminal emulator magic". You'll find it on the market. The one you're using is probably designed for G1.

How to Root in Cyanogen 4.04?

Hello everyone, I apologize in advance if I've posted this in the wrong section. Ok so here is my problem, I recently got Cyanogen 4.04 (Latest stable release) on my phone. I was gonna try out the overclock app from the App market but it doesn't let me open it because i'm not ROOT. I thought users are always ROOT in modded ROM, are they not? If not then what should I do to ROOT? I used the one click method for root at the begining (to install cyanogen) and Haykuro SPL Update. Thanks.
p.s I am a complete noob so please go slow.
If you have used the 1-Click-Root method, did you follow the steps to type in telnetd using a terminal app? If not then I would go back and re-trace your steps.

Yes I did the telnetd thing. After rebooting clicking on an emptyspace then RETURN, wait, RETURN then telnetd which took me to the contact list. Then Home. Then I went to the terminal app and did the 4 step thing. But I did all that before flashing the Cyanogen for the first time. Now that I have Cynogen installed, if I try to Connect in telnet it gives me an error and if I try to do the 4 step thing in Terminal emulator it says "permission denied. (are you root?)". Please tell me what should I do?

type su into the terminal emulator and see what is says. if you were able to flash a custom rom then your phone is rooted, you could've gotten a bad download.
Download Better Terminal from the Maket and as david mentioned, type in "su" then press enter to see if you have root access.
if nothing pops up upon entering su does that mean a new wipe and install is nessecary??
Reason i ask is i can't get the terminal emulator to work either that came with the build....is it the same thing as better terminal????. I used a one click install and everything is running fine on my 4.0.4 build but i tried earlier as well to install the "overclock" app from market and it wouldn't work. I decided to purchase SetCPU instead for a buck and it works no problem. By the way i have a my touch 3g..

dont think the terminal emulator works w/o a physical keyboard
better terminal will get the job done, but not the same app. You can just use that instead of terminal
but if terminal does work w/o a physical keyboard, when you type su, what does it do?
if it asks to allow or deny, click allow. if you hit always deny, go to the superuser app and erase all settings.
if it doesnt ask anything, when you type su, it should drop one line and have this symbol #

Thanks for the help....
I actually did download better terminal and when i typed in su and hit enter. It went to the screen your talking about and since i had just installed SetCPU it asked if i wished to allow i clicked yes. So i asume i have rooted correctly and guess the "overclocking" program on the market might just not download on my phone correctly with the cyan 4.0.4.
Thanks
Thanks to all of you for your replies. I think I know what the problem was. The OverclockWidget is a Widget...duh silly me. I was trying to open it as a regular app and was failing. Added it as a widget on the first screen and now everything works. I have one quick unrelated question, while downloading the latest experimental release of Cyanogen I read at the bottom of the post in read that the users should not use any Apps2SD while using Cyaogen's latest release because the ROM does it by itself or something like that. What does that mean?
@mikespy- tap and hold for a sec on your screen and add the OverclockWidget widget on your screen then tap to open. That's how you open the OC util.

(25/3)Best and most stable rom ever[ext2][daily-use]

Simply it's the best rom combination to be the most stable rom i have ever used and now am using it daily with no problems :-
(you may find it difficult but i swear u will be very happy with the results just give it a try)
Download rom:-
http://www.multiupload.com/T589I4WUX9
__________________________________________
Installation ...
1- Create (ext2) partation on your card ...
like in this video....
http://www.neopeek.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=146
2- Copy contents from the rar file to SD card ...
3- Open folder npkinstall and run install.exe
4- After restart open haret.exe normaly ...
5- download better keyboard from attachements and put it in ur androidapps folder in sd card
__________________________________________
you must do this to make ur button work and to be able to restart it by one press
open terminal emulator then type the following :-(press enter when u write the letters in each line)
Code:
su
mkdir /data/opt
cp /sdcard/autostart.sh /data/opt
chmod 755 /data/opt/autostart.sh
Then install autostart.apk (found in the rom source folder)
When your buttons stop functioning, you have to run a script from GScript that reinstalls the modules so they work once more. Perform these steps:
Install GScript.apk
Open GScript Lite and press <menu> button, then <add script>
Press the <Load file> button.
The script you need is located autmatically and is called "XPEROID Gscript Button restarter script.sh"
Select it and then in the new screen press <Save>
You can now return to your homescreen and add a shortcut to the script so you can reset your buttons easily. To do this do the following:
Press <menu> and then <add> to add widgets.
Select <shortcut> from the list and then locate and select <GScript Lite>
Then select the "XPEROID Gscript Button restarter script" and you now have a shortcut on your homescreen to reset your buttons.

Keyboard not working
Hi

read first post!!!
It seems like you forgot to say that some keyboard application should be downloaded and placed on SD card before taping a script code that you have posted in Emulator, because at the time of first run there is no possibility to tape anything at all (HW keyboard doesn't work without running the script, but the script itself cannot be run without it) Anyway it is useless because there is no way to run Edit command within Gscript, because... HW keys don't work!
Please, correct your first post keeping in mind that HW keys don't work without some doing.
Anyway, it could be a really good thing, it runs so smooth!
so i should copy
Better KB.apk
Ginger KB.apk
Smart KB.apk
SwiftKey KB.apk
to the root of the sd card first before i run haret is that correct?
Here is the guide wich allows you to wake keyboard with 1 click instead of rebooting the device. Guide is for freshly installed android (so no just updating the kernel).
1. Move autostart.sh from the included Folder and place it to your SD card
2. Install android like normal.
Until step 8, keys won't work, except for camera and power button. If you screw up, press camera button to return to the home screen.
3. Launch "Terminal Emulator". Soft keyboard should pop up.
4. Type "su" (everything without quotes from now on). Press enter. Symbol on the left should change to #.
5. Type "mkdir /data/opt" and press Enter.
6. Type "mv /sdcard/autostart.sh /data/opt" and press Enter.
7. Type "chmod 777 /data/opt/autostart.sh" and press Enter.
8. Type "sh /data/opt/autostart.sh" and press Enter. Software keyboard should disappear now and keys should be working.
9.Install application "autostart.apk"
From here, your android is working. If you wish to add 1-click keypad fix, then continue reading ...
10. Install application "GScript Lite".
11. Open GScript Lite.
12. Press left softkey (menu) and select "Add Script".
13. Load (XPEROID Gscript Button restarter script.sh)
14. Press save.
15. Return to the homescreen
16. Hold your thumb to get "Add to home screen" menu.
17. Select Shortcuts --> GScript Lite --> Script that you just created.
And now, each time your keyboard or front keys stops working, simply press camera key and tap on that icon you've just created
P.S.: this is not my work, i have just adapted what users seandean and yaana created. All credits go to them.
ON screen soft keyboard not present?
I can notate that screen keyboard is not present/installed?
And for the keyboard you can connect the phone through adb shell navigate to /sdcard/ and do the next:
chmod 775 autostart.sh
sh autostart.sh
Then you can do the configuration above ;-)
Hi , everything sounds good.
I am going to install / try directly when i am free of work
Most steps are normal steps when installing Android on X1.
However i do not understand what is meant by:
"open terminal emulator then type the following". Could someone explain how to do this (open terminal emulator)?
Is this done when having booted in Android? And if yes, how can i do this
Many MANY thanks in advance.
Willp ost results when i have had the time to test tonight
EDIT: ok tried it....looks VERY smooth, however i cna not get terminal emulator to do naything..
The peeps above are right... no soft Keyboard is present.
Any easy solution to this? (asume i have to install a soft kb first i gues...think i will give that a try.
Well i got this version up and running .
I just installed a software tobo myself and then i went through all the steps required.
Have not yet had much time to check the possibilities and speed.
but first impressions are good
(before this one i had the honeycomb V2 Android running. this one "feels" better.
Wifi: still unstable (on/off at random, like in every build i installed)
Speed: looks VERY good
Battery: hard to say, going to see how long he will be up today.
Charging: Still have to connect in winmo in order to be able to load
Software: Market etc. running very good.
Going to test upcoming time and report in

I really followed the instructions as in the first post, I also made the ext2 partition, so I don't know
plz give it a 2nd try and tell me
Ok, installing again as we speak.. but thats only because it has dutch language support
(ok, ok, ánd because of full launcherpro version
ánd beautifull widgets (even while i dont use the widgets)
but it would be so much perfect if...
- keyboard would be installed on start (since no soft-keyboard is installed by default)
- kernel will be updated to last (Duckly's Kernel [3-9-2011]) (it also contains changelog = No Sleep Of Death)
- maby overclock to 650 Mhz (or is it already overclocked?
- betterterminal ssh would be fixed, or deleted, because both times i installed it didnt work..
(java.io.IOException: Unexpected http status code 404 Expected 200)
Jhonnie's own graphic request:
- auto-install startupcleaner would be banished,
it has a hideous icon in top! Juch! (and it can't uninstall it )
- bootanimation.zip will be changed to gingerbread's one
- why it got the fancy transitions between screens? fast, but may be to kinky.....
(can i disable the transitions in android install??)
Q's:
1.can some1 tell me how i do install drivers for ADB/debug usb?
2.does the android setup (first boot) always crash?
3.if you add autostart to AndroidApps, does it really autostart keyboard drivers,
or is this a one-time install android ever..?

Missing Setup Wizard and Lock Screen!

Hi, I have searched hi and low to try and find info on this weird bug. I have flashed my note with Odin with LPY and LQ2 and every time the setup wizard is missing and there is no lock screen when I press the power button. Now I have cleaned the device and wiped it, installed different kernels and nothing fixes it. Anyone else had this problem and knows how to fix it?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
Same here with LQ2.
Thank god I am not the only one. I have tried everything to fix it. Any luck?
Can anyone shed light on this. I have flashed back to GB which restores the Setup Wizard and Lockscreen button but then when I flash any official ICS rom there is no setup wizard again. Just starts right to the homescreen which mean you can't restore google apps etc.
Lockscreen fix :
You need root and terminal emulator and this code
Get lockscreen back

Go to home, force close your terminal app, shut your screen off, and when your turn it back on your lock screen should be there.
Type only su <--- (Without commas)
Follow the above procedure and it will work for sure. All Credits goes to the original author

USB UMS on JB ROMs

Hi,
Perhaps this subject was already discussed before but I can't find the right info:
Does anyone know how to change the USB mode to UMS instead of MTP on Jelly bean?
Why this mode is not enabled by default?
Thanks.
Bump!
i re-posted this workaround about 3 times in last 2 days
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36987841&postcount=335
Thanks, Sorry to be a noob but I was looking for this info but unable to find it.
You mean I have to type this line within terminal to set my usb as UMS:
Code:
su
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb
And rebooting afterwards?
I never used terminal in android.
yes... you just open the app "Terminal Emulator" (if you don't have it, install it from market - but afaik - it comes with cm10/10.1 roms)
just type "su" (to enable SuperUser permissions), click enter for the next line - type the next line from my post and hit enter (watch for spaces and underscores)
exit terminal emulator and reboot...
now when you connect your phone via usb cable you should automatically have an option to "turn on usb storage"...
Many thanks for the tip.
