Terminal app?

---

Is there a terminal app that works on the Hero? I tried Better Terminal Emulator and that doesn't work with long presses on the keyboard (2 characters get inserted, not one) and Terminal Emulator doesn't work with virtual keyboards at all.

Thanks.

I'd like to know which terminal app works best myself. I'm able to make best terminal work okay if I cycle through the keyboards to get the special characters I need without a long tap, but it would be nice if the app did support that function.

Also with MoDaCo ROM 1.1 for cdma hero I have problems (force close) if I turn the screen to landscape, but I haven't tried a reinstallation of the app to see if that helps.

I use SU File Manager & Terminal, and the terminal works great, no issues at all

i have terminal emulator and it works fine no problems here

Ditto.....

I just use better terminal. Works fine for my purposes. Ya know, it is kind of a silly idea but since MoDaCo included ssh into the rom you could potentially use ConnectBot to connect through ssh on the phone itself. I don't think it would make much of a difference except maybe be slower but just an idea to throw out there.

I agree, very handy program.

How do you both use terminal emulator when it doesn't support a soft keyboard?

Virtual keyboard under terminal emulator is pulled up by using the "menu" with a long press. Still suffers from double inputs on long press of keyboard keys:
"ls -l" turns into "ls n-l" since the "-" is a long press on the "n" key. I can of course swap over to the numeric keyboard to get the "-" without long press, but it's a pain. (Better than nothing, but still a pain.)

ConnectBot can connect to the "local" system if you use the menu, but it still suffers from the double input on long press.

So, although these apps are usable in a pinch they don't reach the level of what I'm looking for. I'm sure that someone will notice this and develop an app, but it will probably take a while. Then again when Android 2.0 comes to the Hero we might have better luck.

I just tried it and it too suffers from the multiple character on keyboard long press issues.

I want a terminal emulator that works *correctly* with the Hero soft keyboard, long press substitutions and all.
