Terminal Emulator??? Access "adb shell"???

how do i use the terminal emulator app to access adb shell?

adb shell is only used when you're on a computer, like when using android sdk tools. When you use the terminal emulator you use different commands try This Link for some help using the terminal emulator, they're basically the same as linux commands.
also this should be in the Q&A section

lol the terminal is the 'shell'
if you're running a terminal right on the phone, then consider yourself already @root when you're typing in commands.

Sort of. You are a user, but not "root". To become superuser you have to use the SU command.
/ $ su

I'm sorry if I'm nitpicking here. Your original point remains true. You don't have to use ADB at that point to run commands. You run the command without ADB right in the terminal.

No, you're fine. I was just assuming that he was already rooted, but you're right - it's a regular user account unless you change to superuser.

in order to do what you probably want you will have to type su. It should then ask for SU permission and then you should gey

[Q] executing adb shell scripts on Nexus One - No Laptop Required

Is it possible to do this?
how can i run script commands without having to connect my phone to a laptop computer?
I have root explorer app installed, if someone knows how to do it with that app please give me a simple tutorial.
also, i found this other app on the android market called "ScriptMe" by gilsken.
the app has no reviews, but the description doesnt say how to use it to execute scripts.
in case any of you haven't noticed, yes I am a newbie when it comes rooting phones, any help is appreciated, let me know, thanks.

Do you want to use adb natively on the phone or just general scripts? You can run commands and scripts by installing a terminal from the market, I think Better Terminal Emulator Pro is the best. I think you can run most adb commands from the terminal but I'm not sure if they all work. I mean, push and pull don't seem like they'd work without somewhere to transfer files to, but maybe they push and pull to the sdcard or something. I'm really kinda clueless when it comes to adb because I've only used it to root the phone and use standard terminal tools for everything else.
I think I tried ScriptMe. You have to put the script on the sdcard, select it with the app, tap "execute" then it says "script ran". I'm not sure how that's useful. The only scripting app I've found useful is GScript, but there is another called "Scripter" which stores the scripts so you can select them from a list to execute them. Kinda like a no frills GScript.

Yeah just use the terminal app. It comes loaded on cyanogen and most ROMs out of the box.

[Q] Sideload without root or swc

Hey guys,
I had a few questions about sideloading off market apps, that i couldn't find answers to. Thanks for your consideration.
If i understand correctly, you can only sideload apps on my unrooted samsung captivate by using a connection to a computer, right?
I know about the sideload wonder machine and i have used it successfully.
I know i could download the android sdk, and use the adb push command.
Is there a way to edit the no_market_app value in the settings db file only using my un-rooted phone?
Or can i use terminal emulator or a combination of both to somehow install an off market app?
I was just trying to think of ways to avoid having to conncect to a computer to install an app. I was on the road with a friend, and i had an off market app i wanted to give him, but he also has att(which blocks sideloading of off market apps), so i didn't even try. But wouldn't it be awesome if i could send the apps to his phone through bluetooth or email, then install it on his phone without rooting his phone? Maybe a temporary root of some sort would work? Isn't that how swc works?
Anyways, once i've played enough with my stock phone, i'll beg for more and i'll eventually root, and i'll probably end up playing with the sdk too. Thanks again guys!

To Root or Not To Root... or Perhaps Just A Temp Root...
There are a few quick fix temp root apps floating around. It really depends on you model and build if they work correctly or not.
You could, as you mentioned, push from a cmd promt in adb, install from the cmd promt in adb to the device - or - pull from the device itself using a shell or terminal.
Unfortunately, I currently don't know of a direct way that you would be able to access, let alone edit the system.db file to make a permanent modification without at least being under a temp root.
Peace-

Best terminal and other apps for Linux users

Last night I wanted to try out the ubuntu install on my Xoom and was looking around for a good terminal app and found Terminal IDE.
You don't need root to install it, but it includes many useful tools such as rsync, tmux (similar to gnu screen), ssh, git, java, vim, etc.
This looks like a great tool for those of you comfortable working at a linux console and want to extend their android tablet. This is also why I'm trying out the ubuntu install (see the thread in the developer section for NotAndBuntu 11.04 Beta5).
Anyone else have other suggestions for good terminal apps or other enhancements for Linux users?

Reserving this post to keep track of all the suggestions.

I suggest you to use Instapaper. Because it offers a Kindle app for Amazon's eReaders that let you read text-based versions of your saved articles. These text-only versions are designed to be easily read on eInk displays. You can shift the articles via USB, or set up wireless delivery via a newsletter that can be automatically downloaded to your Kindle as often as once per day. Once downloaded, the articles are accessible even when you're away from wifi.
