Termux-RootFS

This is a static root filesystem for Termux (AArch64). It is based on packages from official termux repository and some advanced software. It's working on Samsung Galaxy S7, but no guarantee that it will work on other devices.

Features

Development tools: clang, gcc, go, perl, python 2 & 3, ruby, rust
Emulators: qemu-i386-static, qemu-x86_64-static, riscvemu
Games: 2048, curseofwar, moon-buggy, nsnake, pacman
Pentesting: aircrack-ng, reaver, mdk3, john, fcrackzip
Servers: nginx, openssh, polipo, privoxy, tor, transfer.sh
Databases: mariadb, postgresql, redis, sqlite3
VCS: mercurial, git

Requirements

System properties:

AArch64 architecture
Android 6.x.x (security features of Android 7.0+ may break some apps)
SELinux permissive (if enforced, some apps may not work)
Root (a few apps won't work if your device not rooted)
3.5+ GB of free space in /data

Software needed for installation:

bash
bzip2
coreutils
git
tar
wget
xz-utils

For optimal experience, you need to use the following modified Termux apps:

Termux (Termux:Boot, Termux:Styling, Termux:Widget are integrated)
Termux:API

How to install

Please, backup your home dir and current rootfs and move to the safe place before installation of the termux-rootfs.

Installation:

  $ git clone https://github.com/xeffyr/termux-rootfs.git
  $ ./termux-rootfs/install.sh

Then stop Termux app and reopen it. If shell working, probably installation was ok. If bad things happened, then use your backup (if you did it).

How to upgrade

Incremental updates can be installed with command termux-upgrade-rootfs. If the upgrading process fails, you can try to apply patch manually with command:

  $ termux-apply-patch termux-rootfs-patch-inc-v${VERSION}.bin

File 'termux-rootfs-patch-inc-v${VERSION}.bin' is a binary patch file that should be downloaded from the releases page. Label '${VERSION}' should be replaced with next version, for example 3.3.

Warning: big updates that patch several thousands of files may require a lot of RAM (~1.5GB).

Password login protection

You can prevent using of termux by unwanted users by setting password with command 'passwd' or 'termux-setup-rootfs'. If you want to use a such feature, you must use a patched Termux app to prevent login bypassing with a 'failsafe' shell. To remove password login, delete file '$PREFIX/etc/login.pwd'.
