I have been having a ton of fun messing with this, hooking up a dock and a kb/mouse, so funny using my phone this way. More of a party trick than actually useful, for me anyway. if one didn’t have laptops, i could see it being handy.

What have you guys been using termux for? The biggest value I saw from it was using ffmpeg on it, and ssh for fun. I can’t really figure out what other uses I may want it for. Backups maybe?

I’m not rooted, so I can’t do a lot on this crappy samsung, but it’s fun to play around.

    I write scripts that I use at boot.

    Or whenever.

    Funny that some apps tell you root is needed to do some things.

    A little persistent frustration and failure can produce desired results.

    Eg. Shizuku can’t start on boot without root.

    Need to enable wireless debugging.

    I wrote a horrific script that nmaps for ports in the wireless adb range.

    Attempts to connect. If success, great. If fail. Do until yay!

    Then it restarts adb in tcpip mode with a custom port of my choosing so,its available to other apps.

    And another script to start shizuku using the shizuku script to run in terminal.

    And I put those scripts in another script and put it in the .termux/boot folder

    And ouila!

    Shizuku starts at boot and other apps that rely on wadb can use it.

    Oh, and it doesnt need a wireless connection.

    I also ssh, proxy, nmap, scan, sftp, samba, etc.
