Is there a .bashrc equivalent for android?

See title. Mostly I just want to have some aliases set every time I open terminal emulator or adb shell. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Just dig /init.rc then you may find the way.

I don't think that works, init.rc looks like it's executed on boot... I'm looking for a file that executes every time a shell is started.

Hi there,
I'm wondering the same thing.
I've tried to create a bashrc
(/.bashrc ; /system/etc/bash.bashrc ; /root/.bashrc ) But none is working.
I'm about to try a different way,
I've cp /system/bin/sh to /system/bin/sh1
then I'll try to replace /system/bin/sh by a shell script that will launch my aliases then sh1
Something like:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh1
alias lsa='ls -Alh '
[...]
/system/bin/sh1
But i'm not pretty sure It could work properly. Firstly because I remember a gain-super-user manipulation that requires to copy and modify rights on sh. (but it could be ok if the script and the copy of sh have the same rights).
Secondly, because I'm not really OK with this; When I'll remove /system/bin/sh in order to replace it, I'll have no shell for a time (if it crashes, I'll not be able to use sh anymore, even with adb).
So if anybody have an other solution it could be damn cool
Thank you all
EDIT: I've just tried this. It's ok, I've not lost my shell, but the modifications (one alias, and a path export), are not applied.

There is no such file. In fact, the default shell is sh, not bash.
However, there is a solution. Read my post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=518959

That is interesting. I'll have to try it. I assume it won't work with ADB? Or am I wrong (please say yes)?

I would have thought that it would work with adb, but when I try this:
adb shell /path/to/bash --rcfile /path/to/bashrc
it seems that its a 1-way shell...
well you can always run bash after connecting....
adb shell
/path/to/bash --rcfile /path/to/bashrc
Alternatively, with a little bit of craftiness, you may be able to replace the sh binary with a script that runs bash.

Sweet, can't wait until I get home.

The best way, and what a lot of the ROM devs are doing now is putting a check/call to /system/init.rc and /data/init.rc so we can add our own customizations. This would include boot time chmod/chowns or aliases if need be. Hell we could put a call to /etc/.profile if we wanted and put all our aliases in there. But we can't do any of that till ROM devs put that call in boot.img->boot.ramdisk->init.rc

Android's default shell /system/bin/sh is a link to mksh in the same directory. It reads /system/etc/mkshrc & ~/.mkshrc
I think it also reads ~/.profile & /etc/profile but I'm not sure & I don't know what order.
See https://www.mirbsd.org/mksh.htm for the documentation.
Also worth noting is that most, if not all, shells read /etc/profile & ~/.profile so anything in there should be very general.

Yes there is

Edit /system/etc/mkshrc. You can add your aliases there after the defaults. Type 'alias' from the terminal to see the default aliases that are defined in this file. I believe this file is the master, and when a shell is envoked, the mksh command pipes a hidden copy of this file into the users home directory as .mkshrc for the terminal session.
Also, this is the file to edit to append to your $PATH.

curiously enough my bash aliases work when in the adb shell. I'm running bash on my mac. I guess the alias get expanded by bash before there are sent to adb shell.
Code:
mac $ alias ll
alias ll='\ls -albhFG'
mac $
Code:
mac $ adb shell
[email protected]_a11chl:/ $ ll
drwxr-xr-x root root 2016-10-03 13:10 acct

drwxrwx--x system carrier 2016-09-02 15:24 carrier
dr-x------ root root 2016-10-03 13:10 config
Please note this does not work:
Code:
mac $ adb shell ll
/system/bin/sh: ll: not found

On my side, here is what I did :
Code:
adb root
Code:
adb remount
Code:
adb shell
Code:
vim /etc/mkshrc
I added the following line :
Code:
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
Results attached, now I may play with the PS1 to get colors in the prompt....

In nougat, there is a bashrc in
"/system/etc/bash/bashrc"
idk about other versions check and tell me

You need to manually edit the mksh file and add your command in for it to persistently work.
Just running the command below will work but will be wiped on reboot.
Code:
alias test1='date'
If you need it to stay persistent over reboots manually edit /system/etc/mkshrc
Code:
## Adding the test0 alias via file editing:
taimen:/ # test0
Wed Aug 5 13:09:46 GMT 2020
## Adding test1 alias via command line:
taimen:/ # alias test1='date'
taimen:/ # test1
Wed Aug 5 13:10:06 GMT 2020
## Reboot Device
taimen:/ # reboot
## Check for persistant changes:
taimen:/ # test0
Wed Aug 5 13:04:24 GMT 2020
taimen:/ # test1
/system/bin/sh: test1: not found
Example file that I used:
Code:
# Copyright (c) 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014
# Thorsten Glaser <[email protected]>
# This file is provided under the same terms as mksh.
#-
# Minimal /system/etc/mkshrc for Android
#
# Support: https://launchpad.net/mksh

export HOSTNAME TMPDIR
alias test0="date"
if (( USER_ID )); then PS1='$'; else PS1='#'; fi
PS4='[$EPOCHREALTIME] '; PS1='${|
local e=$?
(( e )) && REPLY+="$e|"
return $e
}$HOSTNAME:${PWD:-?} '"$PS1 "
This will stay persistent on reboot.

[HOW-TO] Run commands and persist settings after reboot - Updated

Here is an easy way to run commands after each boot.
In the init.rc file, the file /system/bin/clrbootcount.sh always gets run after a successful boot. Since it isn't trivial to change the init.rc file, we will use clrbootcount.sh to run commands after a boot. Since people are having issues with modifying clrbootcount.sh, we will choose a safer method.
clrbootcount.sh will always attempt to call /data/boot_complete_hook.sh, which doesn't exit. We are going to create this file and use that to run commands.
Create a file named boot_complete_hook.sh with the following contents (On Windows, use Notepad++):
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
##################################################################################
#
# File boot_complete_hook.sh
# Description Run any commands that you want to be run after boot
#
##
setprop persist.service.mount.umsauto 0
echo 68000,1024/70/200/40,600/10/11/10 > /sys/devices/omapdss/display0/timings
Save and close.
Now, execute the following commands to put the file on your nook:
Code:
adb push boot_complete_hook.sh /data/boot_complete_hook.sh
adb shell chmod 755 /data/boot_complete_hook.sh
Note:
Before you reboot verify that the file will run properly. Open up a shell via adb shell. Inside that run the following:
Code:
setprop persist.service.mount.umsauto 1
getprop persist.service.mount.umsauto
You should see 1 as the output. Now run:
Code:
sh /system/bin/clrbootcount.sh
You should see an output similar to:
Code:
4+0 records in
4+0 records out
4 bytes transferred in 0.010 secs (400 bytes/sec)
Now run:
Code:
getprop persist.service.mount.umsauto
If 0 is printed out, exit the shell.
If 0 is not printed out, something went wrong and the file will not be run properly on the next boot. If you do reboot in this state 8 times, the boot count won't be reset and you will hit the factory reset. While you are trying to get the script working, you could always manually reset the boot count by executing (from a shell):
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/rom/devconf/BootCnt bs=1 count=4
Now reboot:
Code:
adb shell reboot
As you are rebooting, run:
Code:
adb shell getprop persist.service.mount.umsauto
It will return 1 since the init.rc file sets it to 1 explicitly. However, once you are fully booted it will return 0.

Didn't work for me.

# Run potential hook first.
/data/boot_complete_hook.sh
# Zero the boot count
dd if=/dev/zero of=/rom/devconf/BootCnt bs=1 count=4
Add the following to the end of the file:
Code:
#run other commands
setprop persist.service.mount.umsauto 0
Save and close.
Now, execute the following commands to put the file back on your nook:
Code:
adb shell mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb push clrbootcount.sh /system/bin/clrbootcount.sh
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/clrbootcount.sh
adb shell mount -o ro,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
adb shell reboot
As you are rebooting, run:
Code:
adb shell getprop persist.service.mount.umsauto
It will return 1 since the init.rc file sets it to 1 explicitly. However, once you are fully booted it will return 0.

Wouldn't this screw up the 8X "back to stock firmware" sequence since that depends on having the boot counter increment up to 8?

The script file is already there and already being called after each successful boot. The 8x boot counter logic happens with 8 failed boots. Regardless, the instructions just show you how to append a custom command to be run after the stock commands run, no other booting logic is affected.

Awesome, thanks for the tip! Been wondering how to put in my own stuff into the init, I'd love to modify the path but I suspect this won't be the way, but regardless it's good info.
BTW, I have found that disabling this USM property seems to disable the SD card automounting but the Nook itself might still automount... But that's for another thread I suppose

Worked perfectly
This is exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks

There seems to be a little confusion over at the refresh rate thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901294.
To be explicit, if you want to disable auto-mounting as well as change the refresh rate, you would edit clrbootcount.sh to have the following contents:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
##################################################################################
#
# File clrbootcount.sh
# Description Clear the bootcount variable to 0 on successful boot
#
##
# Run potential hook first.
/data/boot_complete_hook.sh
# Zero the boot count
dd if=/dev/zero of=/rom/devconf/BootCnt bs=1 count=4
#run other commands
setprop persist.service.mount.umsauto 0
echo 68000,1024/70/200/40,600/10/11/10 > /sys/devices/omapdss/display0/timings
If you don't want to disable auto-mounting, just remove the line with
Code:
setprop persist.service.mount.umsauto 0

I ran what was posted and it still returns 1.

I lost my backup of clrbootcount.sh

any help would be greatly appreciated.

always returns 1 during and after complete reboot. The echo command for screen does not persist. Have followed your instructions super letter by letter multiple times and leading up to the reboot everything is exactly as you say.
Right now, I am most concerned that whatever I have done will not reset the boot count since it stays at 1 and does not go to 0. I've already lost my entire setup twice and had to start from scratch trying to make this work. At least I know how to reset to 0 with the line command script but how do I ensure i don't need to worry about it?
I think this process may be a bust.

I am on 1.0.0 and have been using this since I posted it and both the refresh rate and automount values are sticking between reboots.

It appears you are running Windows, so I am hoping that you did not use Notepad to edit this file.
Since you are running 1.0.1, post your /init.rc file.

Thought I may have been doing something wrong since I used notepad but downloaded Notepad++ and created the new .sh file. Still no go. Screen still flickers and USB still automounts. Maybe 1.0.1 just is not commpatible with this process. Only difference I can see.
The getprop persist.service.mount.umsauto also indicates 1 after full boot and not 0. Pretty sure this will wipe everything out after 8 boots, going to wipe it all out now and proactively prevent it.

[MOD] v0.3.1 Working Full Ubuntu for 1.5.7 and 1.8.3 based on Sogarth's script

Sogarth's webtop2sd will be released soon, you really should wait and install that instead of this! Thanks -The Management
No longer breaks on 1.83, thanks to Romracer
Update: This script worked on my phone. Mind you I was installing it from a fresh SBF flash, but it should work on your phone too. Absolutely no guarantees as usual.
Update 11th April 2011, 06:59 PM: Won't be getting CWM package because it'd be huuuuuuuuuge.
Update 28th April 2011. 16:38 PM: Removing BETA tag since there have been no issues with the script for quite some time.
First off I would like to thank Sogarth for making this script in the first place as well as Romracer for fixing it for 1.83. Since he is busy doing more important work I decided to do this little hack for those of us that updated to 1.5.7 and dont feel like flashing back to earlier versions to get full Ubuntu working.
Again, this is only necessary if you're already running 1.5.7 or 1.8.3.
Secondly, I am still working on this script so it may not work for you. If you have a problem you may post in the thread or PM me showing exactly the error message, word for word, that you receive.
Updates will be included in the OP from time to time as I fix errors.
Instructions:
1) install.bat (from your computer)
2) adb shell (get a shell on your phone)
3) su (get root on your phone in that shell)
4) . /data/local/tmp/install.sh (run the install script *on your phone* don't forget the "." and the space after the dot, or you will have to chmod 755 the shell script manually)
5) ?????
6) profit\
Noob instructions, written by Viamonte (I take no credit or responsibility):
Thanks again for all your help. Now the noob instructions:
"1-Download "Terminal Emulator" from the market, on your phone (or any other terminal), and the file anexed in this thread to your computer.
2-Connect the Atrix to the computer via USB, configuring the connection mode to "None" and enabling USB Debugging mode (Settings>Applications>Development>USB debugging)
3-Unzip the file you downloaded on your pc, and run Install.bat. This will push the script to your phone.
4-Go back to your phone and open the emulator you downloaded. Then type "su" (without quotes) and press enter. Then type ". /data/local/tmp/install.sh" (without quotes) and press enter again.
The script should begin running now. It will stop in two moments where you'll be instructed to get a cup of coffee, and may take several minutes to continue form this point. When finished, the Atrix will reboot.
To check if this worked, use the Webtop either on your multimidia dock or your lapdock and verify if new itens appeared on your task bar and on the right upper side of the screen"
0.3.1 release
0.2 release
0.1 first release
Changelog
0.3.1 fix to gconf file's mdate so it does what its supposed to do =)
0.3 Small typo fixes and cpp package install fix by romracer, now works on 1.83 =)
0.2 Fixed some typos in uninstall.sh and make sure the %gconf file wound up in the right spot.
0.1 - first version. NOT CWM install but ready to be packaged for that more or less

Nice, I'll give this a shot later.

Ill give it a shot when I get home!

Good effort, but 1.57 changes how we have to run commands as root. On a normal linux box, I'm sure your methods would work fine, but we're not dealing with a normal su binary. You should look into doing this as CWM as opposed to .bat files. I had a hell of a time getting around the restrictions since the psneuter exploit was closed.

Ah, I did not think about that Ririal, thanks for the info. I am not familiar with CWM though.
Why is the /tmp directory in /data ? That would certainly cause every script to fail.
I'll look at this some more tonight.

How about a shell script that we can run in terminal emulator ? and the output goes to screen and a log file for debug !

most of the script is now run by shell scripts, no reason you couldn't run them in the terminal emulator, just get the order right. There are also a few lines I didn't translate to shell so you'd have to enter them by hand.
In any case I'll keep working on this until Sogarth releases his version with union mounts =D

You might be interested to know this;
# cd /tmp
cd /tmp
# pwd
pwd
/data/tmp
# ls -l /tmp
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2011-04-09 14:47 tmp -> /data/tmp
I'll happily help with the script, i know tons of linux and got my Atrix ready to be bricked

That's just a symlinked directory. I won't make a difference if you call either.

Yes, just replied to the previous question

Ah ok my mistake, you didn't quote anything I didn't realize that's what you were responding too
Likely noexec flag causing that issue.
Also, you can't invoke su from inside a shell script. It just doesn't work with this su binary.

yeah, I guess not. I hadn't realized that it wasn't a real 'su' before making this... too bad.
If anyone figures out how to get around that we'll be in business Unfortunately that's way beyond my expertise.

Okay, after fiddling a little bit and talking to a friend I may have solved some of the problems, mainly with the scripts executing and su working.
I will have to rewrite a bunch of things but should report back tonight.

You'll have to allow superuser on the phone for every single command.

PM'd you my error. I tried manually editing the permissions, but that didn't work.

Running BETA_ubuntu-1.0.6.4.zip. File extracts to BETA_ubuntu-1.0.6.2 directory. Ran ubuntu-1.5.7.bat
Moved BETA_ubuntu-1.0.6.2 to C:\ Same error

The only easy workaround to that I can see at the moment is to
Code:
adb shell
su
chmod 777 /path-to-scripts/*
ls -l /path-to-scripts/*
make sure all the files are executable (should say rwxrwxrwx)
then remove the bit of code from 1.5.7.bat
Code:
set retval=
for /f "tokens=*" %%l in ('%~dps0adb.exe shell "/bin/chmod 6755 /mnt/sdcard-ext/shell/* > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo PASS"') do set retval=%%l
if "%retval%" neq "PASS" set message=Unable to chmod scripts. && goto abort
If anyone can help me fix this problem I should be able to automate the chmod process using ririal's suggestion of su -c. The problem is that there are too many nested quotation marks in this section of the batch file, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to escape quotes so they pass through to adb:
Code:
set retval=
for /f "tokens=*" %%l in ('%~dps0adb.exe shell "/system/bin/su -c [U]'/bin/chmod 6755 /mnt/sdcard-ext/shell/*'[/U] > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo PASS"') do set retval=%%l
if "%retval%" neq "PASS" set message=Unable to chmod scripts. && goto abort
The underlined bit is where I need to escape either single or double quotes.

^ escapes batch, \ escapes shell. Hope this helps. If you zip up and send me the whole process in a single .sh file I can wrap it up in CWM for you.

[Q] Help rooting

Hi Android Gurus,
I am new to android and rooting. I tried to follow the steps available in the xda forums to root my kindle fire HD 7". But instead of just executing the scripts, I chose to read the scripts and manually execute them comand by comand so I could learn. In the process I did what seems to be like a terrible mistake by setting the wrong permissions on /system/xbin/su like below instead of 06755
-rwxr-xr-x root root 380532 2013-01-03 00:24 su
Basically I cannot su anymore, hence I cannot mount the /system rw to modify su's permissions (sounds like a chicken-and-egg situation here).
I badly need help and appereciate if some of you can provide a way.
Thanks.

So you can not perform:
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
What happens when you attempt to run these commands? If not, your real option is to go to our thread
noted below and use Root MANY ANDROID! to fix it.

I get this. The problem is that I now have a read-only /system so I couldn't change owner/permissions.
[email protected]:/ $ chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
Unable to chmod /system/xbin/su: Read-only file system
10|[email protected]:/ $
I also tried to copy su binary again to /data/local/tmp again to see if I can recreate su ownership/permission but I'm unable to do that as well
[email protected]:/data/local/tmp $ pwd
/data/local/tmp
[email protected]:/data/local/tmp $ ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x shell shell 1085140 2012-08-09 13:42 busybox

[email protected]:/data/local/tmp $ chown 0.0 /data/local/tmp/su
Unable to chmod /data/local/tmp/su: Operation not permitted
Will redoing "Root MANY ANDROID!" solve this problem?

xdajunior,
Yes, both Root MANY ANDROID! and Qemu will solve your issues. Then you can take a peek
inside the batch files to see how they get the job done. Since you are in a pickle, you
really need these utilities. Be sure you download these utilities from our site, there are
minor bugs in the original versions. If you have any questions, let me know, I love to
teach people and would be willing to offer you some free phone support. This time
would be spent teaching you some of the aspects of the Kindle and Android. I
will be around all day tomorrow, from 11am to 10pm PST GMT -8. Sorry for the
delayed repose I was on an emergency call most of the afternoon.

#2 Ram Disk modification
I pulled the /System/bin/reboot file using adb shell and extracted the boot.img using android kitchen 3.5 from the forum.
Verified that everything works by unpacking/repacking/flasing boot image.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2073775
- replaced the /ramdisk/sbin/charger file with the reboot file
--> battery animation is still there but nothing happens
- modified the charger file according to this discussion: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-os-auto-boot-charge-connected-t3626364/page2
--> battery animation gone but stuck at google logo
- modified /ramdisk/init.rc and added:
on charger
trigger late-init
--> battery animation gone but stuck at google logo
- deleted /sbin/charger and charger service in init.rc and flashed image to both boot slots
--> changes nothing, battery animation will still show up.
- searched for battery/animation files / images in the ramdisk, but there seems to be nothing.
What else could I try?
Why isnt it working as expected?
Would flashing LineageOS or getting root access change anything?
UPDATE
--> here you can find a solution
