android console commands etc.
I have a samsung galaxy s2 with android and of course as a linux user I just have to have a look under the hood.
For that I fired up a terminal emulator app. When I type in it, there are some commands I can't construct. For example: ls -hal the -hal extension is not recognised. ls /something Can't find the / on my keyboard. (Am I blind or somptn?) ls |less Can't find the | on my keyboard (Am I looking in the right place?) I just feel more comfortable in a console for some tasks. Any ideas? |
You can connect to a wireless network, setup a SSH server on the phone, and connect to it locally from your computer to run commands.

Do you know of a good Howto for this?

I don't think you should need a guide. Just setup the android on your wireless network (if you have one), and it will receive a local IP address. Assuming you have rooted your android (which I assume you have, if you have a working terminal emulator with busybox) there are apps in the market you can download to run a SSH server, like this. You can setup a username/password in the app's settings, and then use your android's internal IP address to connect through your computer (which also must be on the same network). Ex: "ssh androiduser@192.168.1.X"

Wow! I didn't know you could root an android. (or is that an expression not to be used in mixed company)
Sounds interrrestink. I am certainly going to research the subject. Starting here: http://www.tomsguide.com/us/Root-You...view-1688.html Thanks. |

How do you feel about that. Have many people out there rooted their Android? |
Yes! Definitely! Tons of people root their Android phones and there is a whole section for that. Take a look at Android forum on the top right of your web browser right underneath Linux Forums.
Good Luck |
Basically to "root" your phone means that you get access to the root/Administrator account on your phone. It's the only way to directly access the / directory, and it comes with the same risks as using "sudo" or "su" to access root in linux. That you can mess up your system using it. Personally rooting my android was the first thing I did with it :P

Usually the FIRST thing that happens... That, or an unnecessary and usually-fatal 'upgrade'. :rolleyes: :) |
