I like you lol. btw, can I do stuff like control volume using Texmux? Like idk, switch on or off my wifi and turn off airplane mode and stuff
I'd guess not, at least without root, as Texmux is still an app and Android won't allow apps that much control over the phone.
I think this lack of real control via the terminal vs 'real' Linux is a key point.
Root access is pretty easy to get. People don't reccomend it much anymore but I've had zero issues on a Pixel 7 aside that I can't use the phone's tap and pay feature. Bus passes and plane tickets still work.
Termux API from FDroid?
Pretty easily if you go a different route.
Now you have a full Linux inside Android that you can use as a full Linux, and that can control your phone from CLI.
If you are crazy enough, you might even get stuff like calling to work from inside Linux, but what's the point? You still got a full Android to do Android things with it.
Linux in a chroot is so much real Linux, that I managed to get FEX (x86/x64 emulator) to work inside it, and Wine on top of FEX, so now I can even run Windows x86/x64 programs on my phone.
You can control volume using termux with termux-volume command nand wifi with termux-wifi* commands. Not sure about airplane mode but reboot is possible with adb only
You can also install Debian through Termux if you want Ivon Blog
Note: i recommend nano over vim in the tutorial, easier to use haha
You need to use root or pass through some other access control mechanism to control network interfaces or audio devices on Linux too, Android's access control mechanism for those things just isn't built with shell scripting in mind because using a terminal on a phone is a pain...
