CMD On Android

The document explains that although Android does not have a command prompt like CMD in Windows, the Android Terminal Emulator app can be used to access a Linux command console on an Android device. This app allows you to execute Linux commands to copy system files to an SD card and modify them, although it requires root permissions and advanced knowledge to avoid damaging the device. Other applications like Root Explorer or Exposed Installer also allow system modifications, but with greater risks if not used properly.

CMD IN ANDROID

applications with graphical interface that perform almost all tasks that
they can be done from the Linux command console, and they are
easier to use for those who have never used Linux, it is also

Once the application is installed, we run it and grant it permissions.
root with the Superuser application.
The first thing we will see is the command we have configured to...
execute as soon as you open the command console or the command that comes through
defect with the application. In the next line we have the Linux prompt,
dollar symbol '$'.

First of all, what we need to do is access the root or superuser of


Linux through the Console, with the Linux command 'su'. But first we need to
access the keyboard, for this we press the Menu key on our Android and you press
In "Toggle soft Keyboard". Our keyboard appears and we can type the
command and carriage return.

#cd /sdcard/efs
and see the content we have copied:
ls -l

file explorer but not like the others, as this one provides access
to all the system files that are on Android something like what
we can do in Windows if we go to 'my computer' and enable the
option to view hidden files on the local disk 'C' with this explorer
