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

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.

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.
