You are right I didn't. I created the directory and reran the export commands, but I still get the error...

Far from it, nano is a useable linux text editor, so the non-vi-gurus among us will finally be able to edit text without having to connect to a computer or exporting the file to /sdcard to be edited with a market program
[G1 Apps and Games] blackgin:
Really cool news. Thank man

ok, nano is good

finally, all i need is vi :)

[G1 Apps and Games] IConrad01:
Hey -- there's a bug in this. When using nano via adb shell, you can't save files. The enter button doesn't seem to want to work correctly.
[G1 Apps and Games] the_fish:
Working perfectly nice :) thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] PsychoI3oy:
Woo!

That's so much better than vi.

ETA: .... Erm. I guess I spoke too soon. Normal keyboard arrows over adb are cycling through the command history. This appears to happen on sh, ash, and bash. I'm on the latest Cyanogen 4.1x and I have /etc/terminfo/l/linux (where /etc -> /system/etc) but $TERM was not set. Setting it to linux didn't seem to help in either of the three shells. However, the trackball does work as arrows from terminal emulator, so this is still much better than vi.

Thanks!

ETA2: derr, it's happening in vi too.... I swear that worked before.....I'll keep poking around

ETA3: nevermind, known issue with adb http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4124148 maybe I'll see about getting dropbear setup.
[G1 Apps and Games] thebalkanking:
after an entire day of hell trying to compile gnu nano 2.0.9 for myself, I finally managed. Another problem now is the keyboard layout mismatch. Any one fixed this yet? i.e arrows flip through history instead of navigating within nano.
[G1 Apps and Games] thebalkanking:
I figured out how to move about in the nano screen, but only where there is text. if the screen is empty you wont be anble to move no where, BUT if you open a text file, and hold in SHIFT whilest moving aground with keyboard arrows, that will work :)

I guess thats not perfect, but its a start.
[G1 Apps and Games] thebalkanking:
did you made those terminfo files yourself? if so, care to explain further? i've compiled termcap libs for arm. but further than that I dont quite know which direction to take to start working on a better env terminal, which I suspect is most of the problem for certain misbehaviour of nano on android.
[G1 Apps and Games] cloverdale:
Thank you so much for this, after using your terminfo files, it works perfectly on enomther's adp1.6.
[G1 Apps and Games] farmatito:
Attached a statically compiled version of nano linked to uClibc

that has the advantage of being only 273 kb in size.

Works like the one posted by modaco and needs TERMINFO

var to be set and /system/etc/terminfo dir to exist.

Better TERM for "Terminal Emulator" App

generally works on my Motorola Droid. i am using stock 2.1 plus root, so i had to add terminfo entry for TERM=linux.

unfortunately some of the formatting symbols are not obeyed by "Terminal Emulator" app or "Better Terminal Emulator Pro" (which seems to have a similar codebase). for example typing the "enter" key advances the cursor, but not the text. if you then scroll over the advanced line of text with the cursor, the text will appear where it should be. very confusing.

I suspected a different terminal type would avoid this bug in Terminal Emulator so i started experimenting different TERM= settings. The best terminal type i found was TERM=pcansi. The "enter" key now works, there is one small bug where the first character shows up on the previous line, but this can be fixed by hitting "enter" and "del" and causing nano to redraw the first line.

a better solution would be to get "Terminal Emulator" fixed.

but until then, if you're using "Terminal Emulator" and having problems with "enter" not advancing text, try installing the included file "terminfo.zip" into /system/etc/terminfo and replacing TERM=linux with TERM=pcansi

[G1 Apps and Games] leonnib4:
Hi,

Thank you Paul! :)

But I have a question: Howto auto-export those export commands?

Is there a file in a ROM that contains it?

I tried /etc/init.rc but it did not work...

thank you!

PS: When will you release Emacs23-nox???
[G1 Apps and Games] warttack:
Well my init.rc is located on / not /etc and i added it there and it loads everytime. if you have a init.rc on your / try adding it there it might work for you
[G1 Apps and Games] freedom74:
Enter key

Enter key does not work for me...

I tried solution above with pcansi but with no luck.

Every time I get into nano and try to press Enter key it said

"Sorry, support for this function has been disabled"

Wierd, and therefore completely unusable.

I find nano located in system/xbin and cannot replace it since it's readonly mounted.

Is there any hope for me? :confused:

I'm using CyanogenMod 6.1.1

thanks
[G1 Apps and Games] mermaidkiller:
When using nano after issuing these commands (I have a rooted S2):

export TERMINFO=/etc/terminfo
export TERM=linux

I get this error:

bash-3.2# nano

Error opening terminal: xterm.

Any dea what this is ?

UPDATE: I found out that there is no /etc/terminfo at all on the Galaxy.

So I unzipped the pcanzip.zip posted earlier in this thread into the /etc/terminfo/p/pcansi and then it worked.
[G1 Apps and Games] curious_yellow_eyes:
thanks, i was only thinking the other day how useful it would be to get nano or vi onto my X10 (mostly because I REFUSE to pay for root explorer simply to mount rw and edit text files)- for example the other day I modified to stop the home key waking the phone, and ended up having to sudo adb pull it, edit in nano on the pc and push it back (what a palaver to comment out one line of text!).

I was googling about intending to compile it myself today and straight away this came up. I should have realised that somebody already would have done it ;-)
[G1 Apps and Games] Solid One:
Great! Nano/Pico for Android is extremely useful for basic file editing. I'm using it in two android devices I have (an Sony Ericsson Xperia X8, and an Android Media Box with AV and HDMI outputs), and in both it's working like a charm. Thanks!

[G1 Apps and Games] davidmoksha:
Nano works great with connectbot, but in the adb shell I am having this same issue when pressing the enter key:

"Sorry, support for this function has been disabled"

Also pressing enter to confirm a saved file name does not work at all. So I can't save any of the edits I make while in adb.

I'm using a Sprint SGS3 with stock rooted 4.1.2

Yet another zip file

I've been working on this for a little while, so I set up a more comprehensive zip file that includes hopefully everything you'll need to get working:

hi there. i bought a new class 6 8gb Micro sd card about a week ago.

When my phone was using the class 2 card my phone with an installed rom and was working perfectly. In the following sequence, i started using my new card. formatted the card to FAT32 and then booted into fastboot and formatted it into fat32-ex2-linux. reboot my phone with the new card in still and all it does is loop over and over.

i put my old sd card back in and the phone boots right away. is ther anywhere in the sequence which tells you guys im going wrong and if so can someone please advise me on which way to go?

thank you very much

edit - did a data wipe and fresh install with the class 6 sd card and it does the same again. looping over and over on the boot screen. will be going back to the class 2 for now :confused:

for your info this phone is a voda magic. 32b. cheers
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] djchiena:
this is what i did for my sd card.

-booted into Amon_RA's recovery mode with the NEW sd card.

-formatted it to FAT32 then to fat32/ext2/swap

-wipe data off phone

-pull new sd card out and put another sd card that has your rom you want to flash to

-flash rom

-once flashing is complete, pull out sd card with update.zip and put in NEW formatted card

-Reboot phone

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] apjs87:
quick update on the situation. Wiped the card, reformatted all with new partitions and success! it booted with new rom etc.

after around an hour my phone had turned itself off. only way to turn it back on was to pull the battery and then power on. after around the same amount of time the phone did the same.

i pulled the card. phone powered on and then stayed on. very strange

someone give me some help please!!

It will run perfectly on any ROM that has terminfo set up, if your ROM doesn't, you may need to do this before running nano:

but

whats the best spl to run with cyan 4.2 ?

and what are the advantages etc etc

thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Hardspl would be just fine, but if you want to walk that dangerous line you could load the "danger" spl. Having the new spl will free up more space on your phone and allow you to install a hero rom if your ever wanting to try. If you do decide to go with the spl just read and reread. Make sure to have the new radio installed first then flash the new spl. It would help to have whatever rom you want to use loaded on the sd card to cause the new spl will overwrite your existing rom so you would have to load the new one.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daneshm90:
Well i think with Haykuro's Spl, he reduced the space occupied by the cache partiiton which stores any rom u get in the over the air updates. So in turn since u've rooted ur phone n dont need tht partition, its gud to b able to use some of tht space as Rom.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Hard SPL for starters. Once you know more - then you can update to Danger.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjkholt:
Danger all the way, just to say you survived it
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
Flashing to Danger SPL isn't rocket science. If you have the PVT board, then you're good to go. Just flash the latest radio first, reboot, flash the new SPL, reboot and get stuck at the Tmobile G1 screen, hit Call+Menu+Back and immediately hold the Home key to return to Recovery, and flash any ROM. Done.

how to enable syntax highlighting???

I am currently using nano taken from here http://android.modaco.com/content/software/291983/nano-editor-for-android/ on my G1 (SuperD 1.9.3).

I really want to enable syntax highlighting, and I went through this guide:

http://www.technotizie.it/frame/74510/nano-syntax-highlighting-how-to-enable-syntax-highlighting-in-nano-text-editor

I installed nano binary into /system/xbin and gave it executable permissions.

I created a /system/home dir and created a .nanorc file as stated here:

http://wiki.linuxhelp.net/index.php/Nano_Syntax_Highlighting#Alt_C.2FC.2B.2B.2Fh

I also set up a $HOME var, with value = /system/home

nano starts up but doesn't highlight my .cpp syntax.

what am I missing???
