A VT-100 terminal emulator application for Android that provides access to the built-in Android shell. It emulates a large subset of VT-100 codes so console programs like vi, Emacs, and NetHack display properly.
Use cases
- run shell commands on my android phone
- access the android built-in shell from a terminal app
- use vi and emacs on android
- play nethack in a terminal on android
- vt100 terminal emulator for android
When to choose
- you need a lightweight terminal emulator on an older Android device
- you want an open-source Apache-2.0 terminal app based on AOSP Term
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with bug fixes and new Android version support
- you need modern terminal features beyond VT-100 emulation
