- Special Thanks
The Termux Monet fork app comes with the following optional modified plugin apps:
These are Modified Plugins. All these repos are Forks from termux-app
NOTICE:
Termux may be unstable on Android 12+. Android OS will kill any (phantom) processes greater than 32 (limit is for all apps combined) and also kill any processes using excessive CPU. You may get
[Process completed (signal 9) - press Enter]
message in the terminal without actually exiting the shell process yourself. Check the related issue #2366, issue tracker, gist with details and this TLDR comment on how to disable trimming of phantom processes.
- On an ADB console, paste the following commands on the following order:
adb shell "/system/bin/device_config set_sync_disabled_for_tests persistent"
adb shell "/system/bin/device_config put activity_manager max_phantom_processes 2147483647"
adb shell settings put global settings_enable_monitor_phantom_procs false
- On Termux (or any Terminal Emulator), paste the following commands on the following order:
su -c /system/bin/device_config set_sync_disabled_for_tests persistent
su -c /system/bin/device_config put activity_manager max_phantom_processes 2147483647
su -c setprop persist.sys.fflag.override.settings_enable_monitor_phantom_procs false
-
On a Rooted phone with Magisk installed, flash the following module:
-
After that,
PhantomProcessKiller might be deactivated on every device boot.
Please make an issue on this repo if the module didn't work for you.
su -c /system/bin/dumpsys activity settings | grep max_phantom_processes
su -c /system/bin/device_config get activity_manager max_phantom_processes
- Both commands above should return
2147483647
su -c getprop persist.sys.fflag.override.settings_enable_monitor_phantom_procs
- It should return "false"
Termux-Monet application can be obtained on GitHub either from
GitHub Releases
for stablier releases or fromGitHub Actions
for the latest unstable releases.
- The APKs for
GitHub Releases
will be listed underAssets
drop-down of a release. These are automatically attached when a new version is released.
- The APKs for
GitHub Actions
will be listed underArtifacts
section of a workflow run. These are created for each commit/push done to the repository and can be used by users who don't want to wait for releases and want to try out the latest features immediately. Note that for seeing action workflows, you need to be logged into aGitHub
account for theArtifacts
links to be enabled/clickable. If you are using theGitHub
app, then make sure to open workflow link in a browser like Chrome or Firefox that has your GitHub account logged in since the in-app browser may not be logged in.
Security warning: APK files on GitHub are signed with a test key that has been shared with community. This IS NOT an official developer key and everyone can use it to generate releases for own testing. Be very careful when using Termux GitHub builds obtained elsewhere except https://github.com/termux/termux-app. Everyone is able to use it to forge a malicious Termux update installable over the GitHub build. Think twice about installing Termux builds distributed via Telegram or other social media. If your device get caught by malware, we will not be able to help you.
The test key shall not be used to impersonate @termux and can't be used for this anyway. This key is not trusted by us and it is quite easy to detect its use in user generated content.

As described in termux#2829, true italic fonts support can be enabled when placing an italic font in
~/.termux/font-italic.ttf
As described in termux#2973, Termux can display images and gifs using sixel and iterm2 protocols.
For displaying images and gifs using
Sixel
, dopkg install libsixel
and useimg2sixel image.png
For displaying images using
iTerm2
, download the imgcat script, and use it with the command./imgcat image.png
As described in motds: add static motd back and use it as default instead of dynamic motd and add support for custom motd, in termux/termux-tools#8, and in termux/termux-packages#11250, Termux can now display both standard and dynamic motds.
For using your own custom dynamic motd, place a
motd.sh
executable file at~/.termux/
.
To use the dynamic motd provided by the latest termux-tools package, run
ln -sf $PREFIX/etc/motd.sh ~/.termux/motd.sh
.
As described in termux#3079, Wallpapers can be defined either by placing
background_landscape.jpeg
andbackground.jpeg
on.termux
folder or by selecting the optionSet background image
inside the terminal context menu, under "Appearance". Background image loading can also be enabled/disabled from settings. From Termux Settings -> Termux -> Termux Style -> Background Image.
An wallpaper overlay color can be defined through
termux.properties
, by using the keybackground-overlay-color=#COLOR
. Supported color formats are#AARRGGBB
and#RRGGBB
As described in termux#1969, it is possible to access Termux directrly from adb shell via run-as. see the following example:
dreamlte:/ $ run-as com.termux
dreamlte:/data/data/com.termux $ PATH=/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin LD_PRELOAD=/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/libtermux-exec.so /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/bash -l

You can help debug problems of the Termux
app and its plugins by setting appropriate logcat
Log Level
in Termux
app settings -> <APP_NAME>
-> Debugging
-> Log Level
(Requires Termux
app version >= 0.118.0
). The Log Level
defaults to Normal
and log level Verbose
currently logs additional information. Its best to revert log level to Normal
after you have finished debugging since private data may otherwise be passed to logcat
during normal operation and moreover, additional logging increases execution time.
The plugin apps do not execute the commands themselves but send execution intents to Termux
app, which has its own log level which can be set in Termux
app settings -> Termux
-> Debugging
-> Log Level
. So you must set log level for both Termux
and the respective plugin app settings to get all the info.
Once log levels have been set, you can run the logcat
command in Termux
app terminal to view the logs in realtime (Ctrl+c
to stop) or use logcat -d > logcat.txt
to take a dump of the log. You can also view the logs from a PC over ADB
. For more information, check official android logcat
guide here.
Moreover, users can generate termux files stat
info and logcat
dump automatically too with terminal's long hold options menu More
-> Report Issue
option and selecting YES
in the prompt shown to add debug info. This can be helpful for reporting and debugging other issues. If the report generated is too large, then Save To File
option in context menu (3 dots on top right) of ReportActivity
can be used and the file viewed/shared instead.
Users must post complete report (optionally without sensitive info) when reporting issues. Issues opened with (partial) screenshots of error reports instead of text will likely be automatically closed/deleted.
Off
- Log nothing.Normal
- Start logging error, warn and info messages and stacktraces.Debug
- Start logging debug messages.Verbose
- Start logging verbose messages.
Do not report issues occurred in Termux Monet on termux-app repo, unless you're completely certain that this problem is also present in the regular Termux App.
By installing this app, you agree that you're aware of its unstableness.
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because Termux didn't load. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features and code included in this forked App before installing it! YOU are choosing to replace your Termux app with this one, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your terminal and device, I will laugh at you.
Usage of Termux for attacking/hacking targets without prior mutual consent is illegal. It is the end user's responsibility to obey all applicable local, state and federal laws. Developers assume no liability and are not responsible for any misuse or damage caused by this program.
- Check
TermuxConstants
javadocs for instructions on what changes to make in the app to change package name. - Keep targetSdk 28 to avoid login error
not exec("/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/login"): Permission denied
. - You also need to recompile bootstrap zip for the new package name. Check building bootstrap, here and here.
- Currently, not all plugins use
TermuxConstants
fromtermux-shared
library and have hardcodedcom.termux
values and will need to be manually patched. - If forking termux plugins, check Forking and Local Development for info on how to use termux libraries for plugins.
- Enable GitHub actions and do any commit to build termux. e.g. upload a placeholder file.
- Create empty releases. You don't need to manually upload termux apks, GitHub Actions will do all the job for you.
- Thanks for Android Repository and MódulOS.tk for sharing and supporting the project!
- Thanks for Termux for creating this incredible app!
