Technically true, it usually runs as system, but that also seems out of reach for an ordinary application on the phone... wheras adb gets you a shell as this semi privileged uid. It probably is possible to use the adb shell to make something setuid system which an application or app launched terminal could use to escalate, but finding a place to put it is a challenge (though not an inconquerable one). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
