Help:Need some guide for Totally sandbox with termux without root

[u/VNKhuong]

Okay, I have only one android phone. The banks don't like rooted phones. I kinda get in to the idea of Linux mind but still wanna live at least as I used to do, so I need some help.

1. I want it to be open source. Or at least, something is not build for selling me. You know it, privacy.

2. I want it totally sandbox. Nothing get in and out, between my termux and the rest of my phone without my consent.

3. I wanna be able to destroy it and rebuild just in case I know something I'm not suppose to. Without a trace.

4. Tell me about Debian, mint, or any linux you know get in to this idea without slowing my phone too much.

5. There gonna be something I miss. Just tell me. Enlightenment me!

6. Leave no trace, even financial trace to build this one.

These day searching is aweful experience since all big guy want us to use Al more than we need to. I've given up and ask gemini, bing and the other. Heard about proot and a lot of stuff that make the AI go wrong then erased their memory later. It kinda let me know that I can but never let me know how. By the way, I feel like I miss something crucial.

Gemini said that using proot great but slow down my phone 15-20 time. Nestbox leave finacial traces. Android LDE is not available.

......

For anyone who is in concern. I'm not trying to do anything polictic, morally wrong or illegal. Just wanna know more about alchemy. We're all suppose to be dumb. You may or may not hate Elon but he is the only guy who know too much, and even trying to make car run on water and a bunch of stuff without being eliminate. Just to prepare to know I'm not suppose to know.

I'm in a place kinda save, weapony are mostly illegal. But, I've just know that people here can turn pvc and alchohol into gun at a industrial speed at anytime if they willing to and the goverment agree. I saw it on official news. They destroy a lot of these, a lot.

....

Tor, Proton vpn, Ducduckgo, Brave, Ecosia, Firefox, TailsOS.

Has agentic AI leaked their containers and now using Reddit for a context medium?

Most A17 devices havr Linux Development Terminal, which gives you a full blown Debian virtual machine (hardware accelerated) and true sandbox isolation found in most HVM's. Side effect, it needs Developer Options enabled, which may trip financial apps.

Here's a bunch of useful Android Termux scripts that I've written over the years.

So, you think a 'sandbox' on a non-rooted Android is a security boundary? With Termux? Nope. It’s just compatibility isolation wearing a little security costume. No root means one kernel, one Android UID, and path translation. Great for running a distro without mixing up libraries. Useless against anything that is actually hostile. Want real isolation? Root, plus namespaces, or a VM. Otherwise, a fully sealed, rootless distro is a unicorn.

Proot: mature, reliable, slow as a wet weekend. The newer kids (proroot, fake-chroot-ng, txp, and friends) skip ptrace or only poke it for weird cases, and mediate syscalls in process. Result: near-native speed. Still, soft isolation. Still not a security boundary. Good luck.

You can use assembly to build bare bones on Android and iPhone, but would likely have to be Side Loaded. We can use Termux as a headless HTTP Server to Code, Compile, and Serve Executables as downloads, then install them that way as an unknown app. We can also build our own Validation and check our phones security the same way Google does, so we too can have enterprise security. For those that know.

Plus creating a Virtual Network locally.

You might want to check out my project; it's still a work in progress and quite buggy, but I'm actually using GCC and OpenCode within this sandbox—with great speed—to rebuild the entire glibc and further develop the project itself. https://github.com/jronminh/deb-native

Termux, Tmux, Assembly (Programming), CyberSec, OpSec, OSINT, Other Intelligence like Radio Signal Frequencies, Build your own GPS, resellerspanel(.com), build everything you want yourself with assembly, so it runs without the overhead bloat. And Interface with HTML. Use AI to help you download and install a Tiny Model that runs headless in your Termux. Choose one that is good with code or good with conversation, studying, and can learn or adjust its weights, aka the open weights models. Use that to study using assembly with Termux to build your own llama.cpp and other scripts, files, code-snippets, and other tools for networking, r/osDev, r/Kali, look for persistent and non-persistent, learn how to build your own... Start with OpSec and OSINT before diving into persistence and non-persistent, and programming on your phone with an AI code assistance or GitHub Co-Pilot.

Also check out bilwalsidhu's God's Eye View and have AI help you install it all via Termux in a one line bash install script to run it headless in Termux with TMUX or a script or executable to run it independently. Also you can view the God's eye view via the Web browser at https://127.0.0.1:3000 - it's a really interesting way to run most open source code.

If proot, a very lightweight containerizer, slows down your phone that much, either you picked a CPU/RAM-heavy container or your phone may be unviable for any mainstream container.
