Changelog
| Icon | Version | Changes |
|---|---|---|
 | V3.23 | Support for default settings for Motorola Droid 2 (droid2). Auto-configure some parameters based on phone hardware. Add support for special characters via the SYM key on Droid, Droid2, Cliq, LG Ally. Also added a context menu option to bring these special characters up. Added Licensing (LVL) but checking is rather lax, to allow BTEP to continue to operate on rooted devices, AOSP builds, non-Market devices, non-phone devices, and devices not in countries where paid apps are supported. |
| V3.19 | Support for default settings for Motorola Droid X (shadow) and Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9000, SHW-M110S). Both of these will have Virtual Direction Pad enabled by default. Search key on Droid X will act as the Control key. For Galaxy S, there is no trackball/DPAD or Search key, so you can use the Virtual Direction Pad as Control, or change one of the Volume Keys to act as Control. |
| V3.18 | Remove BLUETOOTH and BLUETOOTH_ADMIN permissions as this was causing the app not to show up in the Android Market for Android 1.5 and 1.6 devices. |
| V3.17 | 1. Automatic determination of soft-keyboard size in landscape and full-screen modes. In previous versions, you had to set the soft keyboard height for your particular keyboard IME/phone since there is a bug in Android with the soft keyboard in landscape mode. 2. Automatically install the native SSH app via BTEP SSH Client, even if the "Enhanced Shell" has not been installed in BTEP. |
| V3.16 | Long press to bring up context menu for switching input method, copy, paste and showing soft keyboard. |
| V3.15 | Add support for HTC Desire. Fix backspace for new Swype Beta which changed how the backspace key is reported. Works with rooted HTC Incredible. |
| V3.14 | Add support for HTC (Sprint) EVO 4G. Add host key support via identity file. EVO support includes the use of the Search key as the control key. This was necessary since the EVO does not have a DPAD/Trackball. If using an alternate keyboard on EVO (Such as Swype) it can be useful to enable the Virtual Direction Pad support in Preferences, since most third-party soft keyboards don't have easily accessible arrow keys like the stock HTC Keyboard IME for EVO. |
| V3.13 | Fixed cursor keys on Swype "Editing Keypad." Added Home/End behavior when using ALT+DPAD/Trackball. Always hide soft keyboard IME on orientation change (some devices did this already, but changed BTEP to enforce it to make all devices behave consistently.) Fixed a bug in saving Word-based/Character-based IME preference. Fixed greyed-out "Create Shortcut" button when BTEP SSH Client was launched as an application. Fixed SSH Client to be able to use ~/.ssh to save known hosts, keys, etc. Statically link binaries to allow use on other ARM platforms, like Archos 5. Fixed scp to not rely on rooted phone. |
| V3.12 | Fixed a regression causing crashes on Android 1.5 devices. BTEP will no longer ask you to re-download or enter Safe Mode when exiting the shell with Control-D. |
| V3.11 | HTC / Verizon Droid Incredible support added. |
| V3.10 | Physical Keyboard Tab support on Motorola Droid / Milestone added. |
| V3.09 | Fix SSH/Telnet port number saving in Shortcuts. Improve Icon for Telnet/SSH Client. Improvements to Android-x86.org support. |
| V3.08 | Add support for Android-x86.org builds: Dell Mini, Asus EEEPC, etc. |
| V3.07 | Fix soft keyboard screen resize issue introduced in v3.04. |
| V3.06 | Fix crash on some custom ROMs. |
| V3.05 | Minor bugfix release. |
| V3.04 | Fix some corner case issues on Enhanced Shell download when physical keyboard was open (on Droid) or phone orientation was changed during download. Added the ability to create home screen Shortcuts to quickly access native apps from the Android home screen. Add a GUI front-end for the native Telnet/SSH Client included with the Enhanced Shell Download. This front-end can also create home screen Shortcuts for SSH/Telnet sessions. Third-party applications can launch navive apps in BTEP via Intents. Intents for the BTEP Telnet/SSH Client are also supported. |
| V3.03 | Workaround for shift key state issue with Swype Beta soft keyboard IME. Workaround for HTC High-Res keyboard IME pipe '|'symbol, which seems to return the wrong ASCII code. The HTC IME also allows dismissal of the keyboard from the IME itself. This gets BTEP out of sync, so I added the ability to long-press the screen to bring the keyboard IME back up. |
| V3.02 | Fix Enhanced Shell downloader crash observed on some phones (Nexus One and probably others.) |
| V3.01 | Upgrade Enhanced Shell to put back functionality lost in v3.00: -w option to 'nc' and command line history saving. This update will cause a new version of the Enhanced Shell to be downloaded and installed on your phone. |
| V3.00 | Upgrade Enhanced Shell to link with Bionic C Library to fix DNS and UID/GID issues in previous versions. Also decreases storage space required on the phone. This update will cause a new version of the Enhanced Shell to be downloaded and installed on your phone. |
| V2.21 | Fix install issue on some Samsung Phones (Moment, Galaxy Lite.) Fix mis-reporting of application storage space requirements by the Package Manager. This update will cause a new version of the Enhanced Shell to be downloaded and installed on your phone. |
| V2.20 | Add default configurations for Samsung Galaxy (GT-I7500.) |
| V2.19 | Add more verbose exception information. |
| V2.18 | Add default configurations for Nexus One and Samsung Galaxy Lite (GT-I5700.) |
| V2.17 | Add default locale because v2.16 was crashing on locales not explicitly supported by BTEP. Improve Italian translation. |
| V2.16 | Fixed bug in paste with soft keyboard. Localized to German, Spanish, Italian. Please send email if you can help improve the translations. |
| V2.13 | Improve shell downloader. Fix paste. Automatic default settings for Droid and Cliq on initial install. Tested on Nexus One. |
| V2.12 | Automatic check for shell updates. |
| V2.11 | Add ability to select Custom Color for foreground and background. You must select Custom Color from the Colors preference, and then set the foreground and background colors. Switching back to a pre-defined color scheme will reset the custom colors. On December 16, 2009, BusyBox was updated. If you initially installed Better Terminal Emulator on or before this date, you can force the shell update to install: Shell Updates |
| V2.10 | Add Screen Orientation Mode selection in Preferences: Sensor, Force Landscape, Force Portrait. Allow use of volume up/down as Control key. |

| V2.06 | Fix Enhanced Shell install that was failing on some third-party ROMs. Always show soft keyboard on single-tap when Virtual Direction Pad is disabled (useful for HTC Soft-keyboard IME on Hero.) |
| V2.05 | Fix soft keyboard raise issue after phone is suspended with keyboard visible. Updated BusyBox to v1.15.2. If you upgraded from a previous version of Better Terminal Emulator Pro, see Shell Updates for information on how to manually upgrade the shell. |

| V2.03 | Change Help Menu item to point to Wiki. Make bin/ and home/ directoies world readable so Enhanced shell can be used via ADB. |
| V2.02 | Added support for Motorola Cliq and Verizon Droid by implementing a Virtual Direction Pad (DPAD) / Trackball. Improve installation reliability of the Enhanced Shell download. Add Safe Mode in case shell does not start because of invalid Inital Shell settings. |
