You could install "TerminalIDE", which would open a terminal and give you a fully-fledged UN*X environment with a kind of bash, vim and a java compiler, aapt, apkbuilder, signer and the usual GNU tools so you could develop Java apps for Android on Android and then also start them from the command line. I developed some simple apps in this shell editing them with vim on my Android device. But then Google changed something, and, today, such things do not seem to be possible anymore.
