r/termux

Guys! finally I have docker running native on OP7T.

I have downloaded the SM8150 Kernel from Lineage and rebuilt the source code to enable docker support. Result, Docker containers are running native in Termux.

My primary goal was to either install PostmarketOS or Ubuntu Touch.

Preferred PMOS. But I see currently OP7T is not supported. If anyone is running PMOS, Please share the experience.

Yazi connot run if not redirected. show os error 13, this happen after i do update package. how do i fix this, or i need to wait until next update and hopefully fixed or i need to accept it and alias it like `yazi > ~/.cache/yaziiii`.

i was already tried a different way and still give me the same error:

- Failsafe mode (export tmpdir)

- With tmux

- Without tmux

- nvim term

- bash / sh shell

I recently came back to using Termux for reconnaissance, and I noticed that every time I try to use a tool that depends on DNS, it either fails or returns a timeout error. The strange thing is that I can install the tools without any issues, but I can't actually use them. After looking into it, I started wondering whether this might be related to Android's networking restrictions. I even contacted Google Support, and they suggested that Android 9 and newer use DNS-over-TLS, which could cause DNS failures under certain conditions. I've spent a lot of time trying to fix this, tried multiple troubleshooting steps, and even asked several AI models for help, but I still haven't found a solution. I eventually resorted to using workarounds and bypass techniques to get some tools running, but that's not how I want to use Termux. I just want it to work normally, the way it does for most people. At this point, I'm honestly exhausted and would really appreciate any advice from someone who has experienced the same issue or managed to fix it.

The command palette is powered by fzf, so i can add new tools for quick access.

This project started with a stupidly simple question:

How far can I push a smartphone if I stop treating it like a smartphone?

This is my Nubia Z70 Ultra with 24 GB RAM and the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite.

The phone is now literally sandwiched between TWO desktop CPU coolers, mounted inside a custom acrylic case. 😂

Yes. Two full-size PC CPU coolers. On a phone.

And surprisingly, it works extremely well.

The interesting part: I'm NOT using one of the newer boosted chips

My Z70 Ultra uses the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite, with its prime CPU cores running at up to 4.32 GHz.

That's important because some of the newer devices I'm comparing against are using newer and/or higher-clocked Snapdragon variants.

For example, the REDMAGIC 11 Pro uses the newer Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, reaching around 4.6 GHz on its prime cores.

So I'm not trying to beat these phones with the same CPU and better cooling.

I'm taking an older, lower-clocked 4.32 GHz Snapdragon 8 Elite and seeing how far it can go simply by giving it completely unreasonable cooling. 😂

In my 3DMark ranking screenshot, my Z70 Ultra reaches 10,533, putting it right among much newer devices and even slightly above the Galaxy S25+ result shown there.

And sustained performance is where the cooling really becomes interesting.

3DMark Wild Life Extreme Stress Test

Best loop: 6,980

Lowest loop: 6,910

Stability: 99% over 20 loops

That's only a 70-point difference between the best and worst loop.

But benchmarks aren't actually the main goal of this project.

I'm trying to replace my PC with the phone

I now have a native Termux + XFCE4 Linux desktop running directly on Android.

External monitor, keyboard, mouse, Linux applications and hardware-accelerated graphics.

I can boot into my desktop environment and use the phone almost like a small ARM computer.

Dofus is running directly from my XFCE desktop, rather than simply mirroring an Android game onto the monitor.

And then there's Windows gaming.

The Witcher 3 — 1080p, ULTRA graphics preset

I'm currently running The Witcher 3 at 1920×1080 using the ULTRA graphics quality preset.

Not Low.

Not Medium.

Not a 720p performance test.

1080p + Ultra graphics preset.

Depending on the scene and GPU load, I'm currently getting approximately 20–30 FPS, with the GPU basically sitting at 99% utilization.

I've even seen it go slightly above 30 FPS in some scenes, as shown in the screenshot.

Obviously, this isn't desktop-GPU performance, but that's not really the point.

This is The Witcher 3 running at 1080p Ultra at around 20–30 FPS on a Snapdragon 8 Elite phone. 😂

And underneath all of this, it's still Android.

So my end goal is to have one device that can do everything:

**Android phone / gaming device

native Linux XFCE desktop

Windows applications

Windows PC games**

The software side is still a work in progress and I'm continuing to optimize everything.

But apparently the solution to smartphone thermal throttling was very sophisticated:

one CPU cooler wasn't ridiculous enough, so I installed two. 😂
