Android 4.1.2 only here (because of the hardware keyboard!).
The crash seems to caused by some use of java.lang.Objects (from green_green_avk.anotherterm.App.onCreate()), which is only available as API 19: https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Objects

I can provide more logs if needed, please just tell me which log level or regex filter I should use.

If you need a tester for 4.1, please do throw debug builds at me (even unsigned ones), I would be glad to help!

AnotherTerm seems to be the only replacement for GNURoot and KBox and for devices too old to run Termux, thank you for that! 👍

Connecting to a VT220 telnet host displaying Hebrew language, the text displayed in the wrong direction -

Trying this with another app, it displayed correctly -

It'll be great if you could fix it.
To reproduce this I captured this screen to a file -
1.txt
Then sent it as HEX to the app.

Thanks

The hardware-keyboard-equipped device is a Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere II (AKA SCH-I415) with Android 4.1.2 (not rooted).

The problem only occurs with AnotherTerm AFAICS, at least he following apps are fine (I linked where I got them from):

• (jackpal's) Terminal Emulator 1.0.70: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/jackpal.androidterm
• ConnectBot 1.9.6-oss; https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.connectbot/
• DroidVim 1.1.84 (outdated, I know): https://apkpure.com/droidvim/com.droidvim

I can't install Linux under PRoot, can you please support armeabi-v7a again? Otherwise I won't be able to use your application, which I mainly use to learn programming. If not, thank you for your incredible work!

May be we need also to think about possible remapping Alt and mapping Ctrl and Insert somewhere?

I do not mind about losing Insert or even Alt, but having Ctrl is crucial, and (at least in Vi) it can also compensate for other missing keys (Esc: Ctrl-C, Tab: Ctrl-I).
Some way of mapping physical keys or buttons to PC keys would be perfect, even when only over a textual configuration file. The Key Mapping Editor might already support this, but I am currently unsure how to use it, more documentation about it could help.
One should be able to map at least Volume-Up, Volume-Down and Back (should be present on many devices), ideally also the hardware keyboards' exotic keys ("Search", "Chat", web (sic!) and OK keys here) by entering their key code.
I won't push it 😉 by asking for the Menu button which is probably almost nowhere else to be found nowadays, or for the Power and Home ones which IIRC need convoluted tricks...

Here you are then:

• "Search" is KEYCODE_SEARCH
• "Chat" outputs nothing at all in the IME Test app, but directly opens the stock Messaging app, so that one key is probably hopeless
• web: same as above (opens the stock web browser app)
• OK is KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER
• ...and Menu is KEYCODE_MENU as one would expect

(Please tell me if you'd need more logs from the IME Test app.)

However listing each and every physical key Android ever defined for mapping in the UI might be too much given the few users concerned.
(Note that the other apps listed in #10 all do something similar but all leave out some keys that nobody claimed, and their UI is already pretty crowded.)

As said in #11 (comment) a more generic solution might be more appropriate: I for one would not mind having to install IME Test and copy part of the results from there during the initial configuration to get my own keys working.

With your app being open source and free of trackers: would you consider making it available outside the walled garden of Google Play as well, e.g. by attaching it to your releases/ here – for those who cannot (Huawei devices) or do not want to ("tin foils") access Play Store? Thanks in advance!

since such command has not been implemented, when copying text from terminal you will encounter some problems, for instance, with micro editor, you will be copying line numbers and the chopped text shown on screen. thus currently i have written a plugin for micro editor to copy selection to android clipboard.

https://github.com/zongou/micro-androidtool
clone and place that plugin dir in ~/.config/micro/plug/

and a command tool

I installed the app from google playstore. After creating a shell profile i clicked to run it, but as soon as i clicked the app crashed. So then i seach for the project( amazing by the way) , and tried alll previos versions up to MkIIIv37 which ran perfectly (i am currently running it). Am not sure if the problem is my phone.
Phone : Samsung galaxy tab 3 lite sm-t116, kernel version 3.10.17, android 4.4.4, rooted with super su.

Are there any suggestions for how audio might work in a proot graphical session? I tried running pulseaudio and pacmd unsuccessfully in a Debian bullseye session. I thought I might be able to stream to the app pulsedroid. Thanks!

Greetings! I'm an IT student utilizing your app to delve into programming in general. In this second term, we're exploring the creation of GUIs in Java using Swing and venturing into crafting a 2D game for finals. Luckily, AnLinux provides helpful scripts for running a Window Manager (via VNC) inside the proot, allowing me to experiment with GUIs. The challenge, however, lies in playing audio/sound. Could you guide me step-by-step on achieving this? Is it possible within the VNC environment? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, thanks for the program! I am trying to start wayland via the github mk1v release. I am going through the debian install process and ran into some install issues

I get for example ls: cannot access 'wlstart-WM': No such file or directory when listing files under debian-bullseye proot from linuxcontainers. Works otherwise, but I'm not sure if it's something that can be fixed. This does not happen with alpine 3.14 though. This issues happens with the release version of anotherterm and the mkiv version for me.

Another issue I encountered that I'm not sure is related was that the install script for ubuntu focal from linuxcontainers fails as below:

Termux is nice but that's not support in android 4, I use terminal emulator in my old phone and that application doesn't support this features, I doesn't carry them I just sshing into them with termux but in case if it discharged I have to setup it again all the procedure.

Hello,

I have a tablet with Android 4.4.2 that I want to use AnotherTerm on. AnotherTerm itself seems to run fine, but I have some issues with the install-linuxcontainers script. I followed the guide on here.

I tried to install the root filesystem for debian buster (I also tried debian bulseye, ubuntu, gentoo and those all fail with a similar error; alpine does work fine however).

The first issue was that the script failed on line 362 because the folder etc/profile.d did not exist. This is easily remedied by adding a mkdir -p etc/profile.d.

The second issue is that there seems to be a problem with unpacking the root filesystem. I get the error -25: 9: chdir() failure. After the error, the script continues, but the terminals into the root file system immediately stop after being started. With certain root file systems I get an additional error Pathname can't be converted from UTF-8 to current locale.

Any ideas on what is going wrong and how it could be fixed?

thanks,
Ruben

I'm encountering an issue with shared memory on my non-rooted Android phone running AnLinux Debian rootfs armhf.
Despite a potential lapse in installing shared memory APIs emulation, Xwayland seems to be functioning.

I attempted an upgrade to bookworm, but the problem persists.
Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

there is an error that seems to occur only specifically when trying to start firefox-esr.
In addition, the Falkon release on Debian bookworm presents a bug related to /dev/shm permissions,

I'm trying to use the serial command which $TERMSH provides and it does work well for normal text characters.
Is it possible to have a HEX mode? When I use the app "Serial USB Terminal" from the PlayStore, there is a setting to set "Text" or "HEX" mode.

My goal is to proxy requests over HTTP to Serial which will be very convenient and efficient rather than implementing it in Java/Kotlin for specific apps.

On the plus side, I was able to dump a full device backup in the regular backup mode, unfortunately I haven't been able to perform an export or import which is more useful than full backup for adding new entries while away from a PC.

It is possible that there is a special U2F or security key permission that needs requested to interact with that aspect of the device. The Yubikey Authenticator app might have an example of that permission even though it's a different device.

This first section is the output from the PRoot, I'll add the lsusb from a working Linux install shortly.

Hi. I'm trying to install wayland support on a debian bullseye proot. I have the mkiv beta latest release.

I have installed the scripts according to the instructions I believe. First libwrapdroid and then I run the commands:

export LIBWRAPDROID_SOCKET_NAME=mysocket
export LIBWRAPDROID_AUTH_KEY=1234567890987654 # not less than 16 hexidecimal digits
export LD_PRELOAD="/opt/shm/lib/libwrapdroid-shm-sysv.so:/opt/shm/lib/libwrapdroid-shm-posix.so${LD_PRELOAD:+:$LD_PRELOAD}"
/opt/shm/bin/libwrapdroid-server & #because I need to background this as the command does not return to prompt

Then I run the execute commands listed:

/system/bin/sh \
"$DATA_DIR/proots/linuxcontainers-debian-buster/run" \
0:0 ./wlstart-X | \
/system/bin/sh \
"$DATA_DIR/proots/linuxcontainers-debian-buster/run" \
'' ./wlstart-WM

and I get the following output

CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "/system/bin/sh/system/bin/sh": ": library "libpthread.so.0" not found: needed by /opt/shm/lib/libwrapdroid-shm-sysv.so in namespace (default)library "libpthread.so.0" not found: needed by /opt/shm/lib/libwrapdroid-shm-sysv.so in namespace (default)

I also did an ls to see if libpthread exists, and I get the below, which is also unclear to me because it says it is not there but it is. Actually, that is another issue for the proot, but I'm not sure it is related. I get this error for all the files in /lib. This doesn't happen for ubuntu focal proot:

ls: cannot access '/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so': No such file or directory

On my physical keyboard (QWERTY with Spanish letters) I cannot type any non-ASCII characters and most non-alphanumeric ASCII characters, because they are only accessible using a physical Fn key, which ATM does not work. This is broken only in AnotherTerm, the other apps listed in #10 work as expected.
BTW some Fn+letter combinations seems to have some effect:

• some "ring" the visual green bell at the right end of the line
• some delete the whole command line

I cannot find any pattern about which does what.

Originally posted in #10 (comment)

That is it.

It needs to be fully implemented.
It seems, it should look like a set of switchable keyboards:

• Text input ANSI terminal like keyboard: each symbol generates a couple of down/up events surrounded by appropriate modifier keys down/up events.
• Action keyboard: down/up events are emitted as keys pressed/released and thus no gesture input is possible.
• Android IME: behavior is similar to text input ANSI terminal like keyboard.

The reason: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/11/privacy/storage

Yes, I'm a bit "late" with this topic and I see no reason to mess with requestLegacyExternalStorage attribute as it is obsolete in Android 11.
The reasons are following:

• the $SHARED_DATA_DIR location is still accessible without any permissions;
• termsh is now a pretty good tool to use with the Storage Access Framework.

I'm waiting for some suggestions, advices, attempts to change my mind.

Yes, I'm aware of the previous experience:

First of all, thank you for creating this great app.
When I use Terminal, the selection menu pops up after a single tap, which bothers me a little bit.
It would be nice if the selection menu pops up after a long press.

Thank you for your time.

Hi.
I found out you are using pre-generated java files. I think you can try to generate them on demand.
To do this you can rewrite scan.py in Java or Groovy. I did this for my project. This script can be included from build.gradle.
Close this if you are not interested.

I'm trying to interface with a USB device and Termux wasn't really helping, so when I found your excellent tool I decided to try it out. My first attempt with Alpine had some other issues with the software I was trying to compile but I got things built under Debian, but now when I try to list the devices I get the permission prompt and can accept it, and it prints the correct device info, but then immediately kills the session which must close the USB connection because running the compiled application in a new session reports it can't find a compatible device.

To add a few more details, the device I'm attempting to access presents various HID interfaces for programming and interacting with the device, I've been able to interact with it from Linux easily, from a Chromebook with a couple limitations in the Crostini Linux apps environment, and now Android is my next battlefield.

If only Fn when emulating Alt could behave the same as described above, or at least do not need holding before pressing the modified key, Another Term would have the best keyboard mapping ever seen on Android! 🤞
(Sorry I did not mention that earlier, it only became apparent when using the app for real dev tasks.)

Please add an option to show keyboard over app window.
It's very wanted for Midnight Commander on small screen devices.

Hi, I'm not currently an AnotherTerm user, I'm currently using Termux. There's a feature I'm missing on Termux which you might be interested at implementing here, given that I see development is actually more active here than there at the moment.

See: termux/termux-app#870

JSch Kerberos authentication implementation relies on org.ietf.jgss package that seems absent in Android.
The official Java implementation by Sun is licensed under GPLv2.

I'll try to find some solution... Any advice would be appreciated.

The common issue for all graphical session screen keyboard improvements.

TO DO

• - sticky keys in direct (non-text) input mode

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far a Milky Way.... Google forces...

From August 2020, new apps must target at least Android 10 (API level 29).
From November 2020, app updates must target Android 10 (API level 29).

The preliminary plan is to split the application into two:

• Still targeted API 28 and published here.
• Targeted API 29 and has a built-in PRoot.

Where

https://github.com/green-green-avk/AnotherTerm/tree/Wayland

https://green-green-avk.github.io/AnotherTerm-docs/graphical-sessions.html#main_content

What

• Upgrading to Debian Bookworm...

• Starting Xwayland...

missing XDG-WM-Base protocol

Fatal server error:

Not good.

And we are not alone: termux/termux-x11#40

Resolution

I prefer to implement proper support for xdg_shell here.

It seems that since MkIIIv34, versionCode was never increased: it's still stating 90. As Android uses this to tell versions apart, new releases are never announced to the user.

Further, the current tag naming makes it hard to automatically fetch updates (I just noticed today that I missed quite a few of them, as MkIIIv34 compared against MkIV_dev20_release was interpreted as 34 > 20 and thus the new tag being ignored). Can you please clarify the difference between MkIII and MkIV? Looks like these are two "branches" released at the same time.

For fetching updates it would help enormously having tag names with clear versioning as well as corresponding versionName or versionCode (you could e.g. use prefixes as you currently seem to do: mkiii_<versionCode> and mkiv_<versionCode> would be great as that way you cannot forget increasing it either 😉)

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I've now defined MkIIIv as prefix with my metadata, and that seems to do the trick for the automatic updates, but due to the unchanged versionCode they won't be brought to the users' attention (no update announcement).

terminal shows gray for white, and darker blue for blue and makes the status bar of nnn nearly invisible

Please add an option to use system (hardware) keyboard first.

Someone may want use MessagEase by default, it has ctl/esc keys and is far more convenient
for one hand input. Also there are bluetooth/deskdock keyboards, which do not use screen space.

The snippet ( S=install-linuxcontainers.sh ; "$TERMSH" copy -f -fu "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/green-green-avk/AnotherTerm-scripts/master/$S" -tp . && chmod 755 $S && ./$S -a alpine 3.10 ) generated from https://green-green-avk.github.io/AnotherTerm-docs/installing-linux-under-proot.html#main_content fails here on Android 4.1.2:

.: open() fails with errno=21. Note I only tested it with Alpine 3.10 and 3.12 though.

AFAICS no warning or error logs were emitted while the command ran with the MkIIIs release build.

Workaround used:

1. first download the script manually (using a web browser, the device's curl or some other means)
2. then run it with sh /path/to/install-linuxcontainers.sh -a [...].

First of all, I really like your app. Termux is good but it does not support using in different profile. This app fits my requirement and it even has minimal wayland compositor for running x11 app.

My problem is when I toggle the android keyboard on the app with a x11 desktop, the desktop screen will be covered by the keyboard, so it is natural to just limit the resolution to a smaller size so that the keyboard can only cover the empty space on the x11 desktop. If it is possible to run a script when toggling the on screen keyboard, it can change resolution according to the status of the on screen keyboard.

...

* [minor nit:] in the settings UI I still find the key mapping sort order confusing

Just alphabetic sort order or something more button class related?

Any sort would help, but sorting by the hardware key's label would be the most useful IMHO as said in #12 (comment).
