I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS YOU CAUSE!
So you are stumbling around XDA and you really want some kind of app or something, but you think you cant because you have a Mac, well I am here to tell you wrong.
The biggest and most used mistake for mac users when trying to use ADB is this:
HTML:
Inas-iMac:~ Hans$ /AndroidSDk/tools
-bash: /AndroidSDk/tools: is a directory
Inas-iMac:~ Hans$
Well this is how you do it!

To make your phone go into debug mode go to settings/applications/development and check debug
DO NOT MOUNT PHONE! Just let it be

Why not follow the official SDK install instructions and add the path to bash_profile..
developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html#Installing
In my opinion that's not too hard for a newbie.. (i managed to do that) And after doing that you don't need to change directories with cd command, you can just type adb whatevercommand from your home dir which is the default location when you open the terminal.
Drag and drop is a little a fail.... one can add "alias" (linux can do it, probably mac too)
Little How-to:
Code:
$ nano ./bashrc
add and adapt the following line to bashrc:
Code:
alias adb="/home/carbonyle/android-sdk-linux_86/tools/adb"
now you just have to type "adb" from a terminal emulator to run it, eg:
Code:
$ adb shell
# reboot recovery
or
Code:
adb install ./Download/myFavortiteApp.apk
and so on...
ps: we don't need to "adb remount" at worst we can just "adb kill-server" then "adb start-server" if the device is not accessible
Hello everyone!!!
I want to know if there is a way to get a root shell after obtaining shell prompt using "adb shell".
I tried pushing some files, moving directories into "/data" and type "ls" but linux always gave me a "Permissioin denied" error.
What I want to do is to run a console program which is compiled by ARM compiler in a console mode. So I need to get an access to run a program in console mode of HTC Desire HD.
If you let me know, I will very very appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.
Type command:
su

It will give you root shell if you have a rooted phone.
Um.. I already installed VISIONary. So I guess the phone I got is a rooted one.
Actually I'm a kind of outsiders about smart-phones~~!
So do I need to install some apps to make a rooted phone?
Just installing VISIONary doesn't seem enough.. right?
Visionary temproot or permroot is enough, just type "su" in adb shell.
Despite that I installed VISIONary, run permroot and reboot my phone, su doesn't give root shell.
I don't know why
do you know what root shell is? when you type su if a # appears on the next line ur logged into root

Sure.
I got root shell afterwards.
Thank you~~~!
I've installed terminal emulator from market, but after writing SU it "can't found it"... what should I do?
i think you need to install busybox and have root access.....

Can you check e.g. with adb shell that "su" is installed
on the correct location?
Does other "root" apps work?
Regards
max
EDIT: su should be in /system/xbin
in terminal run
echo $PATH
This must include the dir where su is installed
Install Hacker's Keyboard. I assume that "SU" is being typed in upper case in your terminal emulator? That's your problemt then.

it's because the stock keyboard will only write in capitals in the term for some reason, so just use anyother keyboard you can get your hands on
All right, problem solved: I've just change the shell command line to /system/xbin/ and everything works and I've change something with keyboard in emulator and it's don't writes in capitals any more
I've been looking for a way how to have navigation keys back light always on while screen on (I was distracted by blinking caused by short timeout value) and at the same time always off for ebook reading and video watching and the solution should be simple and future proof (working on Nougat and Oreo as well). It is partially possible with Xposed and Gravitybox, but I am preparing myself for Oreo update, so I want to replace as many of its functions as possible. Long story short, use Tasker with following:
1. Event, display on, task:
run shell command as root, "chmod 644 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness"
run shell command as root, "echo 10 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness"
run shell command as root, "chmod 444 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness"
2. Event, display off, task:
run shell command as root, "chmod 644 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness"
run shell command as root, "echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness"
run shell command as root, "chmod 444 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness"
3. Application, ebook reader, youtube,..
Enter task
run shell command as root, "chmod 644 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness"
run shell command as root, "echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness"
run shell command as root, "chmod 444 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness"
Exit task
run shell command as root, "chmod 644 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness"
run shell command as root, "echo 10 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness"
run shell command as root, "chmod 444 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness"
Hi.
Is this working?
I really hate buttons light and would like to shut them off for good.
I guess that running this script after booting should work (if yours is working)
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
What do you think?
Thanks in advance.

I am still using this method without any issues. I even enhanced it with lowering the keys back light intensity during night, quite handy in total darkness
To disable back light permanently after boot use this:
1. run shell command as root, "chmod 644 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness"
2. run shell command as root, "echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness"
3. run shell command as root, "chmod 444 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness"
Explanation:
1. make sure that we have RW configuration rights (I would say that this is optional in your case, but it won't hurt anything)
2. disable brightness
3. remove RW configuration rights (otherwise system apps can and will enable the back light again when you turn screen off and on)
Thanks for you fast reply.
I'm still trying to understand how magisk works with scripting (and the permissions you mention that I didn't know were required).
I come from an old S2 running custom Jelly Bean and all this systemless stuff is new to me as previously I used to put scripts in init.d and that was all I needed, but now I don't want to modify system partition.
I am using Magisk for root and few build.prop tweaks, not sure how init.d works with it. In the past I had luck with Script manager - it was enough to create a script file, open it with Script manager and set it as "run as root and at boot time". Or you can still use an automation app which can run shell commands (Tasker has this feature for sure).

As far as I know, anything you put under /magisk/.core/post-fs-data.d would be ran as a script after boot.
But as I said before, just starting with this and may be talking nonsense.
I really wouldn't like to install tasker or anything else as I just want them off for the rest of my life!
Thanks!
PD: Sorry for my english.

Hey!
I was able to run your commands via ADB and everything is working perfect (I don't know why but they didn't work via terminal emulator)
Only issue is that whenever I reboot my phone everything is lost.
My problem is that I'm unable to make a script that runs at boot time (I'm pretty ignorant in scripting and where to put that script).
Any help or suggestions will be highly appreciated!

Don't forget to add "su" as a first command if you are running it from terminal emulator. Try Script manager mentioned before, it can do what you want quite easily - just put all commands in a file, save it somewhere on the internal SD, open it from SM, set as run at boot and run as root and that's it. You can run your scripts on demand as well, so you can check quickly if it's working fine.
I remembered that had bought Tasker a few years ago (but never really used it) so I created a task to perform the above mentioned commands at boot.
Anyway, I'm still unable to make a script and run it via terminal emulator, and that's really annoying!
I'll keep investigating.
Thanks a lot!

What is the exact content of the script file, what are the file permissions and how do you try to run it?

Hi!
This script is something like this:
#!/bin/sh
su
chmod 644 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
chmod 444 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
Named it "lights sh" and put in on my internal SD card,
Then, with terminal emulator browsed to its location and tried to run it via "./lights sh"
I got "Permission denied" and also some errors like "backlight not found".
Couldn't find the way to change permissions (Reading a little more found that internal SD card is mounted as non executable. Is that correct?
Later I moved the file to DATA and changed permissions to 755 obtaining the same results.
As you may notice I'm a complete noob regarding scripting and permissions and I apologize for that!
Thanks in advance!

I've just made a very simple script:
1.
#!/bin/sh
echo hello world!
2. saved it to the internal sd card as "script.sh"
3. chmod 755 script.sh
4. running it as "./script.sh" gives the permission denied error, but "sh script.sh" works fine
In your case, remove "su" command from the script file itself, but run it in terminal before calling the script instead. Or just use script manager
Thanks, working great Tasker profiles...

If you have tasker:
Code:
run shell command as root, "chmod 644 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness"
if %LIGHT > 3
run shell command as root, "echo 10 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness"
else
run shell command as root, "echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness"
end if
run shell command as root, "chmod 444 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness"
It will set brightness based on the surrounding light level.
I hope someone can help me here. I am looking to disable the annoying ugly heads up notifications that come on my phone.
I am rooted with magisk using OB4 8.1 Oreo. I also tried this on OB3 and it didn't work but I thought OB4 might work.
I have tried the terminal bmehtod and the dB method but both don't work for me. Is there a reason why or does anyone know a way to disable heads up. Thanks
Gravitybox allows you to disable them on a per-app basis or as a global setting.
Enable gaming mode
i use the same command as yours in adb, it works on OB4.
just add "adb shell" before the command.
Code:
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0

it does not work with Terminal Emulator. I tried with Terminal Emulator and can see the result as sh: adb: not found.
I haven't tried it with my PC.
I found an alternative methods to do this.
Application Method:
2- HeadsOff app method [FREE]
a) Install "HeadsOff - TickerOn" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...oheadsup&hl=en
b) Open the application.
c) Disable the Heads-Up notifications clicking on Settings.
d) Select "Start the App" button.
e) If a "Notification access" screen appears, allow the app to control your notifications by ticking it.
f) Reboot your phone.
g) Done!
Terminal Emulator Method:
3- Terminal method (directly from your phone) [FREE]
a) Install "Terminal Emulator for Android" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...roidterm&hl=en
b) Open the application. Use the following command:
Code:
su
c) The indicator should change from "$" to "#". Do the following command now:
Code:
settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
d) Reboot your phone.
e) Done!
