TERMUX NATIVE (NO PROOT)



Note

All the process to setup a Desktop Environment in Termux Native is described in this video


🏁 First steps

First you need to install the following packages in Termux:

pkg update
pkg install x11-repo
pkg install termux-x11-nightly
pkg install pulseaudio

Then you have to install the desktop you prefer, right now I have only test XFCE4 so here are the steps:

pkg install xfce4

If you want to install chromium browser: First you need to install the following packages in Termux:

pkg install tur-repo
pkg install chromium

If you want to install VS Code:

pkg install tur-repo
pkg install code-oss

You have all the information to install apps inside your native Termux Desktop in this video


💻 Running Windows programs on Termux native (XFCE Desktop + Mobox):

Important

All this process is explaining in the folowing video. I highly recommend looking at it first

First of all you need to install Mobox (follow instructions from the official repository): https://github.com/olegos2/mobox

  1. Configure your Termux native desktop. I recommend following the process described in this video.

  2. Download the following script into the Download folder. Thanks to the user @Feer_C9 on reddit for this script

  • mobox_run.sh:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LinuxDroidMaster/Termux-Desktops/main/scripts/termux_native/mobox_run.sh
  1. Give script execution permissions:
chmod +x mobox_run.sh
  1. Now you can run Wine explorer (from Mobox with all the configurations applied) with the following command: ./mobox_run.sh explorer but I recommend creating a desktop shortcut. You can download the shortcut direclty into the Desktop folder with this command:
  • MoboxExplorer.desktop:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LinuxDroidMaster/Termux-Desktops/main/scripts/termux_native/MoboxExplorer.desktop

Now you can double click the shortcut in the Termux Desktop (for example XFCE4) and open Mobox explorer to run Windows programs or games.


⬇️ Download scripts:

  • startxfce4_termux.sh
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LinuxDroidMaster/Termux-Desktops/main/scripts/termux_native/startxfce4_termux.sh
