About Material Terminal

Access your Android's built-in Linux command line shell. Unleash your inner geek!
This is a remake of the popular "Terminal Emulator for Android" application by Jack Palevich.
Same great program, just with a material design :D

Top Features
+ Full Linux terminal emulation.
+ Multiple windows.
+ UTF-8 text. (Arabic, Chinese, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Thai, etc.)
+ Customizable interface-palette.
+ No ads, no payed functions, just a donate option :)

Quick FAQ:
+ This app isn't a game emulator.
+ This app won't help you root your phone or change your phone's IMEI.
+ You need to know (or be willing to learn) how to use the Linux command line to use this app.
+ You may want to install a set of command line utilities like "Busy Box", "Debian chroot" or "GNU CoreUtils" in order to add commands beyond the commands that come built into your Android device.
+ If you get a -505 error when trying to install this app under Android 5.0, it means that some other app is using the same permissions. You will have to uninstall the other app in order to install Terminal Emulator for Android. (People tell that "jrummy's Toolbox Pro" causes this problem.)

I am semi fluent in Linux command line so that is not my problem, I am trying to run a shell script that needs to be run without having to keep the app directly open. When I switch tab for even a second it says "Killed", and I haven't seen any options to avoid that. Anyone know how to fix this?

I kinda love designed apps. Yes, Terminal apps are supposedly ugly. But this awesome app made a nice interface even for Terminal. Now I use the Terminal, more than ever, because its much more neat & clean. Keep up the good work, dev!

You should really have a quick check for busybox or even just if a path is set that has more than ls, cat, and echo. If I wss new to Linux or command-line in general, I'd be scared I broke something. Perhaps a check to see if busybox, toybox, and toolbox are in the current path and offer to have a script find them for the user if not. I guess it's OSS and I'm free to get to it myself, but feel free to get to it first unless it's kinda a built in safety measure so people gotta know what they're doing first :)

How am I supposed to use a terminal without arrow keys, autocomplete, or the ability to copy/paste? There are shortcuts that involve using the volume keys, but even those don't seem to work.

D70%
by D####:

Very usable, only annoying thing is that pressing Vol Down + c should stop any running command just like terminal in Ubuntu, but it doesn't. let's say to stop ping command, it couldn't make it stop. Please help.

Terminal functions as it should and looks sharp. Be sure to install a soft keyboard appropriate for terminal use (hacker's keyboard is a decent terminal friendly one)... Worth mentioning after seeing a lot of negative reviews blaming the app for the end-user not having a good keyboard installed.

by N####:

At least on Google Keyboard the special keys for terminal doesn't work... I hope they or you can fix it. Nice design too, loved it.

Y70%
by Y####:

This App works as smoothly as if I was on any of my Linux boxes. I put the path to /system/xbin first into the PATH environment using the preferences settings in this App for execution at startup and have no problems executing any of the commands I want to. Love the favorite commands and history features of this App. It's the only terminal App that I use anymore on all of my Droid devices.

Until it started force closing immediately upon startup of the app. Cleared cache/dalvik, fixed permissions, uninstalled/rebooted/reinstalled, and no dice. Awesome when it functions though.

Good terminal emulator, but it have some problems with my native keyboard. The input type is not defined I think. This cause the keyboard to be in last state. When the keyboard is in search mode (magnifying glass on return key) you can't execute commands.

Great! I love that you have make the amazing terminal into material design! Also, just a tip for anyone with root , if you want to use sudo or superuser commands, search sudo installer in the play store there is an app that installs sudo in your phone.

Nice theme. Works exactly as the normal (uglier) term

The Volume Up/Down does not work at all on my Samsung Galaxy S7 if I use Google Pinyin input keyboard. Garbage!

It looks powerful, beyond my skill level. Glad I can navigate through folders like on my Ubuntu machine.

This is an exellent minimal app that does exactly what its supposed to do... No complaints at all ... Far more superior to others

N70%
by N####:

The app is wonderful to us but I couldn't find a list of commands I think it needs a large area or pages where all of the commands can be found with how each command works

It doesn't find or see systemless root.it just sits and then goes back to the regular terminal

This is really perfect!! One thing I don't like, please change/tweak notification icon which looks really small and off, compared to other icons.

V70%
by V####:

But if there are more updates coming I'm sure it would stand out more. I've also ran into a few bugs... so hopefully they work on it a bit. Feels like a direct copy of your standard Terminal app, same buttons and all. Just has"Material" in the title.

Keyboard input at cmd line works %20 of trying (@best, more like 1 in 12)... W h u t dafuq will be uninstalling immediately.

after i changed my theme with a font-it's not a monospaced font, the cursor displayed in wrong place, i think this terminal should have its own fonts.

X70%
by X####:

All features of Terminal Emulator plus custom window, terminal background, and terminal font colors. Now I can unleash my inner Linux nerd AND geek at the same time!

I was looking for such a seamless, effective, android terminal, then I came across this, simply best, the use of material design, and history features is also great, I will for sure contribute to this open source project! Thanks guys,cheers!!

U ppl need to minify the code with proguard because this app doesn't run on some samsung 4.4.2 systems and a CassNotFoundException is caused. Its because some MenuBuilder library is missing from these systems.

Typing in landscape mode seems bugged. I don't see the input area, only the keyboard and can't type

X70%
by X####:

I cannot seem to send Control+C to the terminal. Neither Vol Up, nor Vol Down would would do that.
