Bash as default adb shell

[Guest XsCode]

This may be basic stuff to some, but I was proud of working it out so though I'd share..

What does it give me?

So far I've found it gives the standard bash time saving utils.. i.e. pressing the up arrow gives history of previous commands, also tab completion works.

How do I get this miraculous time saving abilities?

- Download bash from this link: Bash

- Upload to your streak with..

adb remount

adb push bash /system/bin/

then

adb shell

cd /system/bin

chmod 777 bash

mv sh sh.bak

ln -s bash sh

you should now be able to exit the shell and redo adb shell and get bash as the default shell.
