F If you have an Android smartphone and you are familiar with Linux, then you probably wondered at least once how to use the terminal in Android. As you know, the Android operating system is based on the Linux kernel, which means that there is a command shell and many standard Linux commands are available in it. By default, there is no standard terminal utility in Android. You can access it in several ways:
- the first is to download the Android Terminal Emulator app from GooglePlay.
- second connect to smartphone from computer using adb debugger.
But our article is not about that, today's topic: commands in the Aandroid Terminal Emulator, or more precisely, the commands of the Android terminal.
There are many articles on this topic on the Internet, but all of them lack something, a couple of specific commands are described and that's all, but I want a complete list, including Linux commands, then I decided to write this article. I am not saying that I will describe all the commands, but I will try to cover the majority. This is just a short description of some of the Android commands I will explain in more detail in the following articles, and you can find detailed information about Linux commands on the Internet.
Now about the notation - some commands require root rights, I will put the @ sign in front of them.
Let's start. Terminal commands are nothing more than small console utilities, most of the system utilities are located in the / system / bin folder and a few more in / vendor / bin. We will not touch those in vendor. To make it easier to arrange all the commands alphabetically.
adb- Android debugger. Since Android is still Linux, you can connect other devices, including smartphones, to it via USB, adb allows you to control them and gives you access to their terminal. the description of its commands and capabilities stretches for a whole article, I will describe everything in one of the following articles.

about the author
Founder and site administrator, I am fond of open source software and the Linux operating system. I am currently using Ubuntu as my main OS. In addition to Linux, I am interested in everything related to information technology and modern science.
Android is not only a mobile environment for all your social applications, memories, calendars, browsers, cameras and other useful things. By now, the green robot has turned into one of the most promising gaming platforms, and today we will talk about how to turn your Android device into a real gaming machine.
Once upon a time, Android was geeky fun and was often presented as the nix of the mobile segment. But what happened next?
First, the operating system itself has grown greatly in all respects. The developers understood that a product could become a mass product only when it was user-friendly. And now look at Android 4.2 - fast, clean, beautiful, functional. To all haters who have already prepared a keyboard for an angry comment, we suggest that you still follow the advice. Take a look at the current Android. It is quite possible that your idea of it corresponds to an outdated product 2-3 years ago.
Second point: the development of iron. You may not understand all these processor models, cores, gigs and other performance characteristics, but you can easily understand what the current flagship Android from Samsung, LG or HTC is capable of, just by looking at the gameplay of a couple of the latest hits.
Here's Modern Combat 4 Time Zero. It is clear what kind of titanium PC and console games the developers were looking at. Let it smells of plagiarism, but where can you find an FPS that is very different from its counterparts? And all this beauty on your own smartphone!
And here's Need For Speed Most Wanted. Cool?
And who will now say that mobile OS and hardware will never become full-fledged gaming platforms? The capacities are growing, the skill of the developers is growing.
How do you turn your Android into a real gaming console? We will not portray the Captain and talk about the fact that Android games are on Google Play. We will not compile charts and ratings of games, because everyone has different tastes, and hits according to objective download indicators are always displayed in the corresponding section of Google Play.
Do not think that in terms of games, Android is somehow inferior to iOS. This is not true. All hits available for iPhone users are also present in our market. There are even interesting exclusives.
The last thing to be advised is to resist the temptation to be in the shoes of a pirate. If the issues of ethics and honesty do not bother you personally, then there is nothing you can do about it. We will not overpersuade. There is a much more tangible risk: a cracked apk file is initially modified. We never know exactly what modifications were made. Perhaps it wants to send an SMS. Or maybe he will leak all your information to someone. Do not download cracked apk from left-hand sources, because there is a much more honest and safer way to play cool toys. For example, in retro games.
Back to the childhood
Google Play can please nostalgic high-quality and not-so-great ports of old games that we played on Dandy and ancient computers. However, if a certain game was not found, then this is not a reason to be sad. On Android, there are several cool emulators through which those masterpieces from childhood are launched.
As the name suggests, DosBox Turbo will let you run the hits we once played on DOS on a mobile device, while ScummVM will provide access to a bunch of good old adventure games. It is not difficult to use them. The only thing that can be disappointing is the way you run games in DosBox, but that's what DOS is for. To bring the interaction process closer to the more familiar "tap-start", we advise you to install an additional application to DosBox called DosBox Manager.
With its help, the user can create an interface for quickly launching games without having to enter something at the command line every time.
Where can I get games for DosBox?
You can search for games for DosBox through search engines, or contact specialized sites. There is such a resource with the telling name Good Old Games. Many of the games presented here work great in DosBox, and the platform itself allows you to sort games by genre and cost in the usual way.
A small note: if you played dynamic games or games that require active user participation, you probably already realized the main disadvantage of mobile devices - the inconvenience of control. They tried to solve the problem by adding a gyroscope built into the smartphone, but this did not help everyone. Try to play the same Modern Combat 4. It's hard and long to get used to. Of course, time and practice will take their toll, and the process will become more comfortable, but since we are making a game console out of Android, we need to go even further.
Controller
Sounds like an overkill? Maybe, but how else to bring the experience of playing a real console closer to a mobile device? I need a controller. The manufacturers of the corresponding accessories have long recognized the potential of smartphones and tablets, and the presence of universal Bluetooth greatly simplifies the task.
So let's start with the supported devices. Out of the box, Android perfectly understands many mice and keyboards and gamepads, and there are instructions for connecting devices.
If Android is rooted, then you can not spend a penny on the gamepad itself and just connect your favorite PlayStation 3 controller using the application.
If you're a lucky Wii owner, you don't even need root. We buy the application and enjoy.
Do you want something even more sophisticated and specialized? All that remains is to buy something like the MOGA Pro. These gamepads were originally designed as plug-in accessories for smartphones and will allow you to play dynamic games on your favorite Android and with maximum comfort.
We will not talk about various "hipster" and, in general, accessories sharpened for old gamepads, since in this case the emphasis shifts from convenience to appearance and style. Although, really nostalgic will like it.
Energy consumption
How to solve the problem of energy consumption? This is the most painful question. So far, the only option is to suck on an outlet in a public place, or buy an additional capacious battery.
Outcome
Gamers who are fans of a particular console or platform will probably have a question: why all this, just buy a console / play on a computer. But how will you play on your PS3 or Xbox on the way to or from work, while on the bus, subway, or standing in line? We are by no means saying that this option should replace existing consoles and gaming computers. No, it's just a way to make your gaming station mobile. You can create your personal gamer corner right in your lap without buying any Vita, using only a smartphone and one of the accessories listed above. Bad graphics? Wait a little longer, and smartphones will display the picture at the level of current home consoles, and then completely equal to the leading consoles. Mobile technologies are a priority.

Thus, the Android game console PGP AIO Droid 43501 can become a worthy competitor to most modern portable game consoles, having a number of advantages over them, including simplicity and affordability.
Advantages and disadvantages of Android gaming consoles
Among the advantages that portable set-top boxes for android provide to their users is the use of all the capabilities that are available to the operating system. On such gadgets, you can not only play, but also communicate on social networks, use them as a book, multimedia player, etc.
The openness of the OS is another advantage that does not pose any invisible obstacles for independent development teams seeking to increase the popularity of their games by releasing them on various platforms.
Application availability is an advantage that not all platforms that modern game consoles run on. The presence of a built-in store and free installation of third-party games does not pose any obstacles for the user.
But according to experts, the openness of the operating system is a marketing advantage. From the point of view of functionality, gaming gadgets on Android still have a lot to strive for after competitors. They are perfect for those who like to spend their free time with a game console, but all those who prefer truly productive applications are choosing devices from more eminent manufacturers that have long established themselves on the market for a long time.
For a long time, portable game consoles began to gain frenzied popularity. An overview of the best models is presented in this article. For users of such devices, most gaming companies produce special products. The main feature of the console is its ease of operation and easy transportation. Such devices have a powerful battery, comfortable mechanical buttons. Most of the well-known games are available to the user. The assortment in specialized stores can be eye-catching. That is why the main thing is to be able to choose the right technique.
A special place among the usual modifications is occupied by portable game consoles for Android. This type of device was created quite recently. Even taking into account this nuance, it currently occupies an important place in the lives of many people.
How to choose a game console?
Before you go to the store for a purchase, you need to decide who it is intended for. If we are talking about a small child, then it is worth taking a closer look at banal, little-functional devices with a small number of buttons. Kind and cute games are already built into them. This will help keep your child safe from stress. If a portable game console is being purchased for a high school child or adult, then the entire store range can be considered.
The second important detail relates to the memory of the device. It should be understood how much the owner will play and how many games he will need. Sometimes Chinese devices come across. The manufacturer embeds several simple games in them. The cost of such devices is low, so no one guarantees their quality. It is forbidden to install additional games. There is another side to this issue. More expensive consoles from trusted manufacturers occupy most of the shelves in stores. The cost of games in most cases is prohibitive. It is prohibited to install unlicensed products. It is because of these nuances that you need to weigh everything and think it over carefully.
You should pay attention to the buttons and sticks. They often add value to the offered console. The difference between the two is that some are simple devices, others are supercomputers. The latter is both more convenient and functional. It has additional levers, dedicated buttons, and so on.
The form factor and appearance of the case is a purely individual matter. Many people want a portable game console to fit in a bag or pocket. Others prefer to easily distinguish the character from the tree on the display. Consumers in their reviews are advised to find a middle ground. If we talk about the body, then it should be the strongest. Often, gambling addicts are unable to leave their console even for a second. This means that they will play on the street, in transport and other places. If the device falls, it should not break. Taking into account the specifics of many people, a strong body will be useful to those who are able to “destroy the whole world around them” if they come across an unrealistically difficult level. Believe me, only not weak and high-quality models of consoles can withstand a blow against the wall.
Having dealt with the basics of choice, let's move on to a description of the well-known models.

Pros and cons of game consoles on Android
A portable game console on Android has many more advantages than it might seem at first glance. The main one is that the device can be freely used as a mini-smartphone. All relevant functions for other Android devices are also available for the console. Gadgets allow you to play, chat on the Internet, read e-books, listen to music and watch videos.
Another indisputable plus is the openness of the operating system. This allows game developers not to worry about the availability of their products. There is no need to develop an additional version of the game for individual consoles. All users of Android devices have the opportunity to download (buy) games for a portable game console from Google Play or the official website.
What has already been said is the availability of products. Any desired games can be freely downloaded from any resource and installed. The manufacturers of such devices do not place a taboo on the use of third-party applications.

If you want to combine business with pleasure, then you should pay attention to the consoles of proven brands.
Outcome
