I want to pause terminal 'top' command. I tried using 'top -d 1000' but it makes it draw its output for the first time after 1000 seconds from launch, so first I would have to wait 1000 seconds to actually see its output.
How do I make 'top' stop refreshing itself?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm using a Google phone running Android, and I need to figure out how to use the terminal's
'ip' command. I found out that Android uses BusyBox in its terminal, but I can't find any help or tutorials or any information regarding it other than the basic information given in the terminal help. Can anyone point me to a site that would give me more information on how to use the commands, or tell me how to use the 'IP' command if you are familiar with it?

View 4 Replies View RelatedHow much are you using the terminal, and what kind of stuff do you use it for? Which emulator are you using? I like the idea of tinkering with command line on my phone, using it to do simple stuff, partly as a fun way to get reacquainted with it, as I use to use command line a little bit with XP and ubuntu. I've batted around between Better Terminal Emulator Pro and Terminal Emulator. One confusing thing is that they seem to use different commands. For example, in terminal emulator the help command brings up a help menu, in TEP it is unrecognized as a command. What accounts for these differences? Lastly, any suggestions for lists of commands and tips for using them, in a way that will work with these emulators?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a rooted samsung captivate with sideloading enabled. After experimenting with different wifi tethering apps from the unofficial market, I began experiencing difficulties with my wifi connection. Even after uninstalling every app that I thought was changing the wifi state, the problem still persists. I can turn on the wifi and it will act normally for about 30 seconds before turning off without user intervention. In dmesg, the error is as follows: 'mmc1: Got command interrupt 0x00060001 even though no command operation was in progress.' Is this caused by an app or is this a more complicated problem?
View 15 Replies View RelatedI'd like to get a home screen terminal widget if that's possible. Literally just a text box on the home screen that I can run shell commands with.With that said:
1. Is there such an app in existence already?
2. Would there be any software/hardware limitations that would prevent me from developing one? I don't want to start trying to develop it and then find out that it was impossible from the start.
Cyanogenmod 7.2 has vim (and nano) installed, but when i use vim, the full size of my terminal is unused, and the cursor position and what is displayed become asynchronous. I have tried setting TERM=linux and TERM=xterm (I'm using OS X terminal which emulates an xterm), but neither get me a working vim. vi, which is part of busybox works fine. nano also fails to use the height of my terminal window, and additionally the enter key is broken.
Any way config to get a working vim using android?
What is busybox and terminal emulator and what are they used for? How can i get them for my sga?

I have Samsung Galaxy ACE which is rooted. Till y'day I was using CM9 Beta 8 ICS 4.0.4 and it was working well.
I installed CM10 JB for Galaxy Ace alpha1 from "hxxp://maclaw.pl/?page_id=180#comment-3642"
Now the problem is, JB doesn't have File Manager installed and I need to install TB to revert my backups.
Due to some unknown reason I am not able to access internet on my device either through GPRS or 3G connection.
I am desperately looking for a way to access my SDCARD wherein I have all my apk's which I can install however, without File Manager I am not sure how to install an apk.
I did some google search and came across topics about installing apk using Android SDK etc.. however I would not want to work on SDK as I feel its bit tedious job for me.
I also tried Android Injector however that didnt work even if I have enabled USB debugging Mode for adb + apps.
Now, I am hoping that, I can use the Terminal Emulator which is preinstalledo n my phone to install apk present on my sdcard.
However, I am not sure how to do that, what are the steps to install apk present on my sdcard from Terminal Emulator available on my phone.
Here are some of the screen captures [URL] ......
Any way to make Android NOT pause my music when I'm navigating? Whenever navigation speaks it pauses playback.I would rather it just turn down the music and speak over the top of it. The iphone apparently does this and for some reason Pandora does it but nothing else does.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI don't really know where to put this topic but anyways my problem is that i need to edit a line in a file.
So i think of something like this
su
Cd /data/data/foldernameofapp/
Edit "file.dat"
Edit line 4 "text here 2"
i want it to edit like this "text here 3"
Change only the number. or replace the hole line with a new line where i only changed the number. btw the best is if the script can change a line and not find text and change. Because the number in the text i want to change can vary from different numbers.
P.S i can use root explorer and open the file with a text editor and change it, this works but takes forever P.S.S i got root

I made a tasker profile to scan face in every 15 seconds by using another plugin (smart stay). Some situations it gives "unable connect camera" error. When I run restart camera app I can fix this issue.

I tried to use terminal emulator to install recovery menu to put a new firmware, but when the phone rebooted (samsung galaxy s3 replica mtk6575) all that i have is a black screen and the Android System Recovery <3e>. Before that, I tried sp flash tool, but the download bar never start to fill.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a Nexus 4 which is bootloader unlocked and rooted. The USB port is partially faulty - it charges only at USB speed and is not detected as a device on my laptop. I've tried multiple cables, wall sockets and computers.
I do however have TWRP already installed.
Considering that fastboot from the PC is not an option (becase of the USB issue), can I run the fastboot commands inside the Terminal Command section of TWRP to flash a factory image of Android 4.3 ?
I'm asking because I've only seen guides to install recoveries, not ROMs via Terminal Command on phone.
I just realized the lack of this feature (or incompatibility) when I tried to call someone and kept getting "your call cannot be completed" message from Verizon.
If Google is trying to target business users they need to get their act straight. The problem is not putting semi column or comma or upside down questionmark to dial extensions, but the issue is the compatibility.
Outlook and most contact management/e-mail systems use X as a divider between main number and extension.
It also makes sense "x" "eXtension". Anyway, I was able to sync all my contact beautifully, only to find out that I cannot call my clients, friends or the companies where I have to dial extensions. I don't remember all their extensions, and I cannot change hundreds of them one by one.
Any way to replace the default "x" for extension in Outlook 2010. Otherwise Android is useless for those calls.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAlright, I have a Droid 2 (actually my second one; both have had this problem), although it's not really a model-specific issue.
When I'm walking with the phone in my pocket and listening to headphones, the phone will occasionally think that the headphones have come unplugged when they haven't. This causes it to pause, and I have to take the phone out and unpause it.
Is there any way to disable the 'pause on headphone disconnect' feature? I understand that this is a hardware issue, but there is really no reason for it to pause, as the headphones are still connected.
The phone is rooted and Liberty ROM 3 v2.0 is installed, but the issue occurred when the phone was stock, too.
I am on twrp recovery version 2.1.3 and to upgrade to 2.5.0.0 I used the Google .im app but even after the message showing that recovery was flashed successfully, when I reboot into recovery I still see the 2.1.3 twrp only..So I tried flashing it with terminal emulator but it didn't work.This error shows up every time failed scanning partitions failed with error : - 1
I tried putting the .img file in the root folder as well but it didn't work..I tried naming the root of sd card as storage/emulated/legacy, storage/ emulated / 0, /sdcard, etc but it keeps on giving this error every single time!

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I rooted the device no problems , and I used a generic CWM recovery for RK2918 devices, since I thought thats what it's running
Livesuit Shows no Rockchip device , it is now detecting a A10 device and I cannot load a Rockchip driver for the life of me , in the CWM recovery mode.
1. Is this device rockchip or not?
2. I have no control with volume controls can only press power which reboots right back to CWM
3. Is there a proven recovery technique for this issue?
4. Backup <--- I was installing CWM to do this I belive I may have put the wrong on or
5. The factory firmware image <----- Double powertech site does not even list this tablet.
6. Is there a way to get the device out of CWM recovry mode? Yes I have done a hard reset via the reset button still CWM recovery.
Device is a DOPO 7020 it detect under windows as a D7016 though Im not sure how to get out of this if I could even gain control of the menu up down to apply an update from zip this would be fine. I can work in WIN. MAC, Linux dont matter just need to get it working agin for my kid.
I have CM10.1 (I'm using the nightlies) and I'm using the stock email app which I love. However it's missing one feature that I'm hoping another app (whether that's a replacement email app or something that works with the stock email app) might have.
I'd like to "pause" direct-push email functionality during a certain time frame. Essentially I'm tired of seeing emails during my off-hours and I'd like to stop it from syncing automatically during those hours. Just suppress the notification during those hours (it can sync all it wants as long as I don't see it).
Is this a possibility with the stock app?
