About aShell

aShell only allows you to edit any SQLite database on your ROOTed Android device with aSQLiteManager. aShell has NO use without aSQLiteManager

With the donate version of aSQLiteManager you get the aShell functionality build into aSQLiteManager.

As it allows you to edit the system databases you need to know what you do before starting editing. You might destroy data needed for your phone to work properly!

SO HANDLE WITH CARE

The root file explorer in aShell allows you to browse your device and if it is rooted you have access to any directory. The explorer allows you to sort and filter the files.

Before editing a system database a backup copy of the database is placed in /mnt/sdcard/.aSQLiteManager (named databaseName.back) here you will also find a version of the edited database.

If you like aSQLiteManager and aShell consider buying the donate version of aSQLiteManager and support the development and be among the first to get new updates with new functionality!

Root mode does not work on CM7... :-/

This is extremely confusing to use. Why do you need two apps to edit SQL databases? Then... You have to jump through loops just to find the databases... Then... You can't edit? Export and import them, but can't simply edit? Blah.

4* only that I installed it just to see of it works and didn't get one thing I have rooted the device (Kindle Fire) and when I go to data/ doesn't allow me to access it says this is not rooted ? Any idea why this happened

A good companion for aSqliteManager. But quite slow in populating files and folders list in root directories. /data/data etc.

Used in combo with aSqlEditor and was able to edit system databases with no problems!

After editing a file I saved. This app deleted it.

aShell worked fine. Verizon knuckleheads locked two bookmarks at the top of the bookmark list, bookmarks I'm not inclined to use much. Or at all. So all they do is irritate. aShell found data/data/com.android.browser/database/browser.db without trouble ()I had to go ito settings to tell it to get root access by default), then it launched aSQLLiteManager to edit the database. I deleted the (stupid) Verizon entries, rebooted the phone, and voila! the bookmarks are gone. A appreciate people like Andsen giving us the ability to clean the bird poop out of our phones, but I don't understand why the smart folks at Verizon are obsessed with doing things like locking those stupid bookmarks.

Great app, but I'm not going to update until I see bug fix updates. This is the kind of app that needs to run solid.

So far very good. Used it along with aSQLitemanager to unlock thrid party option on my mb300. A++++

Works fine on my Samsung Galaxy Tab. Bugs? Yes it's a beta programme.

will be 5 stars if it can edit database files of any filename formats

D70%
by D####:

This thing saved me quite a bit of time and money. However, I have a bit of a problem here. If there's a blank space in the path to the database I want to edit (e.g. "Some App"), I get a null error stating "no such file or directory." Not sure how one would fix this, but it'd improve this app a fair amount if this were taken care of.

Great for getting under apps for direct access to my data. Recommended.

*** Edit: Developer added the suggested feature, so I'm up-rating the app. Kudos! *** The original comment: Martin, thank you for this very good application! One suggestion: there are databases without the .db extension. They are not recognized as databases by aShell.

Worked perfectly on my Tmo version of Samsung Gallaxy Note. Downloaded it to edit delete and remove the useless factory loaded and protected bookmarks (like the Tmo store) in the Adroid web browser.

This app really allows you to edit databases, not like some other apps. Great!

by D####:

Very useful applications. I wonder what kind of command should I write in aShell to open my database without using File Explorer all the time ? I'm trying to write "/data/data/com.example.p0751_files/databases/Database.db" directly, but it seems not to work. If I write "aSQLiteManager /data/data/com.example.p0751_files/databases/Database.db" instead, still doesn't work.

Still on the rough side, but did exactly what i needed (allowed me to change a system database). Thank you!!! CM9, by the way.
