TaskerLauncherShortcut VS termux-packages

TaskerLauncherShortcut Plugin and Companion project - to start recording

It's possible, but it were to be implemented, it won't be available by default, since that's not termux's purpose. Launchers are complicated things. Its not just about adding a single android.intent.category.HOME category and be done, launchers have to query apps, support dynamic and pinned shortcuts, requests for these will come later and will clutter termux-app, would be better to implement such code in a plugin app if possible. There is also an issue open about this already.

That shortcut has the com.android.launcher3.DEEP_SHORTCUT category. It can only be started by the the default launcher, voice interaction service or a system app with the ACCESS_SHORTCUTS permission.

Yes. Even without enabling root, you can install Termux[1] and have a full Linux cli environment with ssh.

I agree. I sync my camera folder with Syncthing[1], so as soon as I take a photo it is available on my laptop.

As usual don't forget that Android/Linux isn't GNU/Linux,

With this, I was able to cross compile lone for x86_64 from within the Termux environment of my aarch64 smartphone. All I had to do was obtain the Linux user space API headers for x86_64.

I made a Termux package request for multiplatform Linux UAPI headers specifically so I could cross compile lone but unfortunately it was rejected.

I wonder how far you could get with the git client in termux. I got vim running at one point.

Crystal can be installed with just pkg install crystal. If you have Docker, you could also clone the build environment and try building Crystal locally with scripts/run-docker.sh scripts/build-package.sh -I -a aarch64 crystal.
