Use "better terminal emulator magic". You'll find it on the market. The one you're using is probably designed for G1.

Hello everyone, I apologize in advance if I've posted this in the wrong section. Ok so here is my problem, I recently got Cyanogen 4.04 (Latest stable release) on my phone. I was gonna try out the overclock app from the App market but it doesn't let me open it because i'm not ROOT. I thought users are always ROOT in modded ROM, are they not? If not then what should I do to ROOT? I used the one click method for root at the begining (to install cyanogen) and Haykuro SPL Update. Thanks.
p.s I am a complete noob so please go slow.
If you have used the 1-Click-Root method, did you follow the steps to type in telnetd using a terminal app? If not then I would go back and re-trace your steps.

Yes I did the telnetd thing. After rebooting clicking on an emptyspace then RETURN, wait, RETURN then telnetd which took me to the contact list. Then Home. Then I went to the terminal app and did the 4 step thing. But I did all that before flashing the Cyanogen for the first time. Now that I have Cynogen installed, if I try to Connect in telnet it gives me an error and if I try to do the 4 step thing in Terminal emulator it says "permission denied. (are you root?)". Please tell me what should I do?

type su into the terminal emulator and see what is says. if you were able to flash a custom rom then your phone is rooted, you could've gotten a bad download.
Download Better Terminal from the Maket and as david mentioned, type in "su" then press enter to see if you have root access.
if nothing pops up upon entering su does that mean a new wipe and install is nessecary??
Reason i ask is i can't get the terminal emulator to work either that came with the build....is it the same thing as better terminal????. I used a one click install and everything is running fine on my 4.0.4 build but i tried earlier as well to install the "overclock" app from market and it wouldn't work. I decided to purchase SetCPU instead for a buck and it works no problem. By the way i have a my touch 3g..

dont think the terminal emulator works w/o a physical keyboard
better terminal will get the job done, but not the same app. You can just use that instead of terminal
but if terminal does work w/o a physical keyboard, when you type su, what does it do?
if it asks to allow or deny, click allow. if you hit always deny, go to the superuser app and erase all settings.
if it doesnt ask anything, when you type su, it should drop one line and have this symbol #

Thanks for the help....
I actually did download better terminal and when i typed in su and hit enter. It went to the screen your talking about and since i had just installed SetCPU it asked if i wished to allow i clicked yes. So i asume i have rooted correctly and guess the "overclocking" program on the market might just not download on my phone correctly with the cyan 4.0.4.
Thanks
Thanks to all of you for your replies. I think I know what the problem was. The OverclockWidget is a Widget...duh silly me. I was trying to open it as a regular app and was failing. Added it as a widget on the first screen and now everything works. I have one quick unrelated question, while downloading the latest experimental release of Cyanogen I read at the bottom of the post in read that the users should not use any Apps2SD while using Cyaogen's latest release because the ROM does it by itself or something like that. What does that mean?
@mikespy- tap and hold for a sec on your screen and add the OverclockWidget widget on your screen then tap to open. That's how you open the OC util.
Is there any way or any app that help explore the ext2/3 or 4 part on the sd card to see what apps are installed there? and see all files for each app?
You might ask why I need to do this; it's because I want to remove this app but still wanna keep a few wallpaper pictures from it So I'm hoping that there is a way to access ext4 part on the sd card so I can just copy and paste those pics that I want.
any help is appreciated.

I have a Magic so I don't have a physical keyboard; However, I was able to use the onscreen keyboard to type su.
Here is how it looks like:
Open Terminal Emulator
$
Type su then "enter"
$su
Nothing happened? It doesn't go to the next line like how it works in command shell
Is there a problem with Terminal Emulator in Cyanogen 4.0.4 rom?

The dev said he took it out because of some bugs that he found. and he will bring it back when he fixes things.
Anyway if u want an emulator with virtual keyboard.
Download connectBot from the market and telnet to localhost.
connectBot provides virtual keyboard now.
ok this my issue when i try to gin root acces in the terminal emulator and i enter su < enter >
and it say denied.
but when i goto console it does it fine with no problems. why is this ?
i dont thonk its cause of cm5 stable. ill keep toying with it and ill see wut happens. thanks in advance.
I've been having a similar problem on my rooted HTC Aria. I also tried to to gain SU access in Terminal Emulator, but it says it's denied. I recently noticed how ignorant I was (speaking for myself). To get SuperUser access in Terminal Emulator, you have to put in "su" instead of the default capitalized "SU". So just put in the lowercase one (su) and you have SuperUser rights!

Tap menu, Preferences, then input method. Then choose your choice. Hoped it helped
Hello,
I had the same problems with the official Terminal Emulator app. (on android-x86 v2.2 emulated with VirtualBox 6.1 on Mac Os)
Another terminal emulator app from google play store does not help.
Preferences in VirtualBox about "input method" also does not help.
SOLUTION:
Inside the loaded virtual Android -> Settings -> Language and Keyboard Settings :
Disable - LIME keyboard.
Set language to default - English (US)
Then open "Android keyboard settings" and disable all extra features:
Vibrate on keypress
Sound on keypress
Auto-capitalization
Quick fixes
Show suggestions
Save settings (or just close).
Close the running Terminal Emulator app.
Start the Terminal app again and it works!
You can type everything you need with your normal keyboard.
Also you can pass some long command string from your host machine to virtual Android with a command like this:
VBoxManage controlvm YOUR_VM_NAME keyboardputstring "dir c:\\"
I have found it here:
Input -> Keyboard -> "Paste as text (send characters)" - Page 2 - virtualbox.org
