Terminal Modifications

Description

This module edits the file system/etc/mkshrc Which works the same as .bashrc/.zshrc on a Linux machine running bash or zsh respectively.

Instructions

• Install the module from releases, then reboot.
• Navigate to /sdcard to find .aliases

Requirements

• This module should be universal so if you have any issues don't hesitate to create an issue on GitHub and I'll look into it ASAP.
• Magisk 20.4+

Sources and used/needed tools

• MKSH Documentation
• Module source

Notes

• For bash, install the ccbins module by Zackptg5
• For proper busybox access as non-root user, it's recommended to install busybox module by Osm0sis
• Apps with scoped storage (such as temrius) cannot access /sdcard. You may need to copy the rc files from /sdcard to their local private storage directory as root and change paths accordingly

Updating procedure

The module creates a backup of .aliases every time it's flashed. If you've made custom changes simply them back over to the updated files.

Changes

• ${USER:=$(getprop ro.product.device)}
  • Make sure the username is the device name as opposed to u0_086ba or something similar.

Functions

• cdn [N]
  • cd back N number of dirs.
  • e.g. $ cdn 1 == $ cd ../
• setpriority [overlay] [high|low]
  • Change the priority of a specified overlay.
  • e.g. $ setpriority android.OutlineExtensions.EtherealColorPaletteLightPastelPurple high
• adbfi [on|off|stats]
  • enable/disable adb over wifi with one command.
  • e.g. $ adbfi on
• overlay [list|enable|disable] [arg]
  • find package names matching [arg] (case insensitive) then will [list|enable|disable] all matching overlays
  • e.g. overlay list ethereal

Aliases

• aflinger = $ sudo dumpsys media.audio_flinger
  • Get a dumpsys of media.audio_flinger, useful for trouble shooting audio issues.
• bsu = $ su -s bash
  • Open a bash shell with superuser privelages.
• dservice = $ sudo dumpsys media.dolby_memoryservice
  • Grabs a system dump of Dolbys memory service.
• getperms = $ pm get-privapp-permissions $1
  • List all privileged permissions for a specified package.
• getdenyperms = $ pm get-privapp-deny-permissions $1
  • Lists all denied privelaged permissions for a specified package.
• killice = $ sudo killall dk.icepower.icesound
  • Usefull if you have ICESound installed to easily kill the service and test if it's processing.
• l = $ ls --group-directories-first
  • Sorts with folders first. Will use Magisks busybox for ls if detected. If not, will use default ls without the --group-directories-first parameter.
• nano = $ nano -l
  • Adds line numbers to the nano GUI.
• sbash = $ . /system/etc/bash/bashrc
  • Sources the bashrc file, useful if you've made changes to .aliases or .bashrc.
• sudo = $ su -c "$@"
  • Executes commands as superuser.
• vd = $ cd
  • Fat thumbs + small dpi = annoying ;_;
