About this app

"TermOne Plus" is a terminal emulator application for Android devices.
Each android device has a build-in born shell and a number of shell command that allows user to:
- manage files and directories: list, create, move(rename), delete, compare, view, and etc;
- get information for running processes, network status and connections, mounted file system, free space, device;
- use package and application manager;
- do screen-shots.

Application supports multiple terminal windows(screens). Each terminal starts own console session with build-in shell (by default).
Terminal emulates large subset of Digital Equipment Corporation VT-100 terminal capabilities - supported are following terminal types: vt100, screen (default), linux, screen-256color, xterm and xterm-256color. Also it supports UTF-8 console text mode by default.
For instance supported terminal capabilities allows users fully to use textual interface in remote login programs (ssh connections).
Terminal screen support color schemes like "Dark Pastels", "Solarized Light", "Solarized Dark", "Linux Console" and etc. Also user could chose size of text.

Terminal session use "shell start-up script" where you could tune environment setting, add shell functions or command aliases. In addition user could paste script obtained from content provider.

Tap on text with http or rtsp URL try to open it with respective "view" activity.

If needed user could request "Wake" and "Wi-Fi" locks.

"TermOne Plus" user interface is based on material design - icons, colors. It uses navigation drawer as main menu. Also user could switch between "Light" and "Dark" theme mode.

Launcher short-cut functionality allows user to create "button"(android short-cut widget) to a command or shell script.
Build-in file selector (aka file explorer) is exported and so allows other applications easy to pick a file.

Application is localized in many languages and/or territories (locales).

"TermOne Plus" is successor of excellent but un-maintained since 2015 "Terminal Emulator for Android".
This new application includes rewritten user interface, many compatibility and portability improvements, stability and defect fixes, and localization enhancements.
As result it works fine with recent android releases (Android 15).

Ratings and reviews

A competant terminal emulator with keyboard shortcuts for a more desktop-like experience. This is the successor to Jack Palevich's "Terminal Emulator" which is no longer maintained. It would be nice to see a customisable actions bar for common inputs like slash, ctrl+c, navigational cluster, and tab, however. While this app doesn't have the extensibility of alternatives like Termux, it is actively maintained for the latest Android versions (13 & 14) as of 2024 and is fully open source.

1) Permission to access media level only. My need was to grep some text files but it cannot see these (only folders and media files like jpg) due to permissions. It can see txt files I created from the terminal which I can then edit from another app that has permissions to my data. I have too many txt files to import it this way though. 2) Wasn't able to run pkg: inaccessible or not found.

No command word on Android 10, 11, 12. Permission denied error on anything. App doesn't request any permissions, so they cannot be granted, via app list or anything. Without permissions no function can be used. Old version "Terminal Emulator" still works on device it was installed
