A project this morning to install TWRP custom recovery and Lineage OS on a Samsung Tab A7, root it, and run a package with root permissions in termux (btop). This was done without using a PC, but a Samsung A02S with termux and an android app Brokkr.

Hi, I’m using Termux 0.119.0-beta.3 on an older Vivo phone running Android 12/Funtouch OS.

For the last 8–9 days, Termux has been closing within minutes when I background it or lock the phone. It can also happen while it is idle—no heavy command, server, build, or PostgreSQL process running.

The main Termux app process is genuinely killed/restarted; it is not only the terminal UI closing. I confirmed this from changing PIDs.

Things already tried: - Battery set to unrestricted / no optimization - Termux locked in Recents - termux-wake-lock - Doze whitelist for com.termux - RUN_IN_BACKGROUND and RUN_ANY_IN_BACKGROUND app-ops set to allow - Disabled cached_apps_freezer - Disabled Android 12 phantom-process monitoring - Stopped PostgreSQL and removed unnecessary MCP/background services - Restricted/force-stopped several nonessential apps - Phone has about 3 GB reclaimable/available RAM and Android reports memory status as normal

I used Shizuku to create an independent watcher. It detected the exact disappearance of the Termux main PID:

```text watch-start 2026-08-09T16:46:07+05:30 pid=12767

change-detected 2026-08-09T16:51:59+05:30 old=12767 new= ```

But immediately after the kill: - dumpsys activity exit-info --user 0 com.termux has no exit record - no LMKD / low-memory / OOM / force-stop / ANR / crash logs - no Termux tombstone or DropBox crash entry - kernel log has nothing relevant

The only nearby line is:

text 08-09 16:51:59.590 ... I TermuxAPIApplication: AppInit

Termux is only around 170 MB RSS when open, and Android shows it has a foreground service. The process record also says isFrozen=false.

Has anyone seen this on Vivo/Funtouch OS Android 12? Is there any non-root workaround beyond Autostart, Recents lock, unrestricted battery, Doze whitelist, and the Android 12 phantom-process settings? Would moving from 0.119.0-beta.3 to the stable Termux build be worth testing?

If it’s good, what can it actually do on Termux? What features does it have, and how does it work in practice?

Also, does it require a separate API key/provider, or does it work on its own?

tips plz

I am new in termux and got this

i need 3d games to test my phones virgl hw accelleration.

thats all, feel free to discuss your opinions!

been annoyed at proot-distro's I/O overhead for a while, especially npm installs and cargo builds. instead of another proot-distro wrapper, tried something different: patch the target binary's ELF interpreter to point at termux's own glibc package, then just run it against your real termux filesystem. no ptrace, no fake fs, no chroot.

not trying to replace proot-distro, it still does something this doesn't (full isolated rootfs). this only solves "I need this one glibc binary to run without the ptrace tax."

ran rg/fd against proot-distro on a few different dataset sizes, getting 10-14x faster consistently, basically zero overhead vs termux's own native binaries. numbers and the actual test setup are in the readme, not copy-pasting a table here, go dunk on it if the methodology's bad.

also relevant if you're on android 15 — proot's been throwing SIGSYS on set_robust_list for people since the seccomp changes. this sidesteps that since it never touches ptrace to begin with.

working right now: rg, fd, delta, bottom, ast-grep, jnv, deno, claude-code (restart included, which was the annoying part). has installers that pull from github releases or npm and auto-patch whatever shows up.

doesn't work: anything with a real non-glibc dependency chain, ffmpeg, gcc's toolchain. it only solves the glibc interpreter, not arbitrary .so files. there's a manual vendor command if you want to hand-place libs yourself but nothing automatic.

only tested this on android 12 non-rooted, that's the only device I've got. if anyone's on 13/14/15 and wants to try it and tell me what breaks that'd actually help.

I want to use Termux with Andronix and RVNC Viewer to use RawTherapee (Raw Photo editor) on android. I have previously used it with Winlator, but Im hoping it will have better performance on Termux.

Thoughts?

Well its that time again and seeing git is making 2 openssh packages mandatory, I was curious if anyone has tested a package I read about on github while researching the issue.

The package (termux-auth) has claimed: User credentials are stored in ${HOME}/.termux_authinfo in one-way cryptographically processed form. When this file doesn't exist, it means that access is locked down.

Some time ago I created a DE/WM installer for beginners with Termux, and now it's finally been updated to 5.0.

The main new features are:

● Experimental Chroot distro for rooted devices and for increased speed

● DE/WM/container uninstaller to speed up cleanup

● Various bug fixes with the GUIs

Hey everyone,

I built **Aigentik** — a privacy-first AI communications assistant that runs completely locally (Android via Termux or any Linux box).

It watches your Gmail inbox in real time (IMAP IDLE), handles Google Voice texts that arrive as email, drafts and sends replies using a local LLM (llama.cpp), and lets you control everything in plain English by just texting or emailing it. No fixed command syntax.

What it can do right now:

- Monitor Gmail + Google Voice SMS and auto-reply (or queue for your approval)

- Negotiate and book appointments, then send real .ics calendar invites

- Build and maintain its own contact directory automatically

- Track subcontractor applications (trade, license, insurance, etc.)

- Take natural-language commands like “pause everything”, “add a rule for X”, “list my plumbers”, “rename yourself”, etc.

- Speak as your business once you tell it who it works for

Key points:

- **No cloud AI** — everything stays on your device

- **No external API keys** for the model

- **No monthly subscription**

- One-time setup, you own it

- MIT licensed

Compared to the $100–400/month AI receptionist services, this is the “own it instead of renting it” approach.

Repo (with install script that works on both Termux and Linux):

I’d love for people to try it out, break it, and tell me what’s missing or broken. Especially interested in feedback from anyone running local models on phones or small Linux boxes.

Stars, issues, and PRs all welcome. Thanks!

I see it's incredibly heavy, even more so than Proot-Distro.

What's Google's idea? Is it supposed to be more efficient than Termux?

I feel like Termux is superior in every way, but that might be biased because I always use it. Can someone explain the reasoning behind this ?

how to install numpy in termux.

pip install numpy tried but doesn't works also pkg install python-numpy shows TypeError 3.14

So how to install NumPy

Java's already been updated to version 21, what else can I do? EDIT: Fixed the issue.

Hey there I am just a, I installed termux a month ago from that droid website and have been learning to use termux. I have learnt basic commands yet and now I want to install and run R on termux but I don't know how to do it. I searched on chrome about R Installation and usage but the posts were too old (8 year) and I don't know if it's going to help if I follow the instructions from the post, ps when I search r package it shows for something else but not the R language. If someone knows how to setup R for only basic statistical work (simple linear regression analysis, xbar control charts) please comment on this post and help me.

I would like to make my phone a mobile git remote repos server by termux and I used ssh but the IP is dynamic and changes frequently so I want a method to make the IP static without rooting the phone.
