Try Termux, it's great.
While it doesn't get you sudo, it does get you a package manager and a decent amount of programs.
I use it and rclone to sync my cell phone's photos to a S3 bucket.
You can totally use sudo if you're rooted. Using su also allows you to acces your native shell instead of Termuxs
You're totally right, but I wasn't assuming they had a rooted phone.
Is there any difference between the native shell and Termux's? I just installed fish and chsh'ed it to default: after syncing over all my dotfiles it looks and acts as expected.
I did the same, but that's not what I'm talking about.
I don't know for sure, but if I hat to guess I'd say that Termux uses chroot to emulate a more Linuxy experience by changing your root to /data/data/com.termux/files/ with it's own bin, etc, lib and so on directories
Using su you escape that chroot and start using your roms root directory at /
I might be totally wrong with this, but that should hopefully clarify the way it behaves
Aah, okay.
I don't mind the chroot too much, especially as you can just use Termux's
termux-setup-storagescript for accessing files.But, yeah, I can see how one would want to use su for that!
what package manager?
edit: nvm its apt
