Isn't there an Android emulator available that could be used to develo apps if you don't have an actual Android phone?
yes, this is what I use to get root shell on my phone.
Ah, I didn't know an emulator would let you do that on a phone..

well, since android is linux, you can.
if you relate a adroid device to a regular computer,
what you see on the screen is sort of the desktop.
and when you connect with the emulator you get a coomand prompt.
which is really a shell into the os without the desktop.
like doing a command prompt on a win machine. but you don't get admin access
by default because the default account is just a user account. on a linux based computer this is called rooting. which is getting owner access to the os.
linux is basicly a type of unix. like apple devices run on BSD which is another type of unix like os. linux is a free implimentaion of unix which was first written by linus torvalds many years ago. and now is taking off for all kinds of computer devices. many people are using thier own version of linux now.
and thats what android is. a version of linux which is used on phones and tablets and much more. sorry for the long rant. I was using linux since
it was just for hobbists.
