        In the Terminal APP I give myself root-rights with:
        $ sudo -i

        id

        uid=0(root) gid=0(root) group=0(root)

        apt-get update

        Reading package lists... Done
        E: List directory /var/lib/apt/lists/partial is missing. - Acquire (30: Read-only file system)

        Is it possible to get a shell with write rights?

          @linuxlion Ubuntu Touch is a read only file system to stop clowns like me breaking it by doing something stupid. You have no idea how 'inventive' I can be.

          If you are more experienced you can make the system read/write either from the command line or you can use the UT Tweak Tool from the Openstore to do it. Just be careful what you do.

          I believe that apt Is not supported/recomended.
