Search files on android os

Question

There are no applications like find, grep, "ls -laR" to find files in Android os. Is there a way or is there a list of current files by default in the os file system hierarchy?

Answer 1

Make a local copy of the files with adb pull /system system; adb pull /data dataand use your favorite search tools on your development machine. Or you can install BusyBox on an emulator that gives you something in between the extremely limited built-in command line and the full unix command line.
