    Termux - a terminal emulator application for Android OS extendible by variety of packages.

  • Sadly, since January 1st, 2020 Termux team dropped[0] support for Android 5.x & 6.x, so actually in F-Droid repo it now requires minimum Android 7.x:

    > Support for Android 5.x.x - 6.x.x is dropped forever. Time to upgrade your devices or learn how to backport git changes.[1]

    FTR, In F-Droid Archive repo there is still Termux v0.37 for Android 5.x/6.x (which I'm using on Ido device), but it is horrible because Termux packages repo are now disabled too.[2]

  • UserLAnd

    Main UserLAnd Repository

  • By the way, UserLAnd [1] does something very similar on Android (and is accordingly not affected by these changes).
