Google's sideloading rule
I'm sure you've heard about this and I'm really sad they're doing this but in case you haven't here's the link: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/08/google-will-block-sideloading-of-unverified-android-apps-starting-next-year/
My question is this: What ramifications will this have for apps like Termux and FDroid?...
Can't build CDP 8 because of POS64 in dev/newsfsys/sfsys.c Any hotfix possible?
Using the latest Clang in the packages and the latest code from their GitHub repo, I can't directly let Clang compile CDP 8 and the issue also persisted in the CDP 8.0 Tarball.
I already made an issue regarding it but all it seems to do is to just get and set the memory addresses of whatever is passed into it, which are all data inside structs. I probably can just
&(f->propoffset)
to get their addresses but can I set them like this or do I have to wait for an official fix to be made?...Duplicated USB Drives in chroot
I'm very new to Termux and Linux overall. Im trying to access my external HDD via USB OTG. So what i did was i added to the start script. Then i created a group with then add my user after doing that the USB UUID folder showed up with a red cross and i cant access it but, when i unplug and plug the otg while in DE, it still showed up with a red cross on the folder but this time i can read it, still no write permission (image 1). So i went back to the script i added the UUID folder this time. . It worked now. I can access it with read and write permission but, there's 6 drives showed up instead of one (image 2).
Is there a better way to do this? like, make it recognizes when a usb storage is plugged real time like how a normal android and desktop does. If not, how can i fix this 6 drives thing and make it shows only one.
My device is Poco F1 running crDroid 11.7, Android 15. Rooted with KernelSU Next. If that helps....
mount --bind /mnt/media_rw $mnt/media/usb
mount --bind /mnt/media_rw $mnt/media/usb
groupadd -g 1077 external_storage
groupadd -g 1077 external_storage

mount --bind /mnt/media_rw/0242-16A8 $mnt/media/usb
mount --bind /mnt/media_rw/0242-16A8 $mnt/media/usb
Solution:
so I managed to fix the duplicate drives thing by creating symlink with then mount that instead with
ln -s /mnt/media_rw/0242-16A8
ln -s /mnt/media_rw/0242-16A8
mount --bind /data/data/com.termux/files/home/0242-16A8/ $mnt/media/usb
mount --bind /data/data/com.termux/files/home/0242-16A8/ $mnt/media/usb

inaccurate time inside programs
i'm having hard time categorizing this issue so it's unspecified for now, sorry
why is the time kind of inaccurate in some programming languages?
i never use battery saving mode and termux has no restrictions to battery, but when my program is in idle, the time starts to mess up and somehow it doesn't rely on systems clock. however the issue disappears when the battery is full or its just charging

Does anyone know how to fix problem with mirror in pkg?
when I try to call any command that requires access to the server (pkg update | upgrade | install) I always get an error that the repository 'https://mirror.albony.in/termux/termux-main stable Release' does not have a Release file.
I went to this mirror and found that the Release file is located at the link http://mirror.maa.albony.in/termux/termux-main/dists/stable/Release
How should I fix it?...
Solution:
any mirror that you think is near to your location.

XFCE4 black screen over everything after restart
Hello.
On a fresh XFCE4 installation in Termux (no PRoot/ChRoot) without configuration yet, when I start XFCE4 session on Termux:X11 with D-Bus (
termux-x11 -xstartup "dbus-launch --exit-with-session xfce4-session"
) no issues, config can be changed as normal (for Termux). But when I relaunch XFCE4 after a correct logout I get a black screen that hides all windows (I tried to launch a program first then XFCE4 session) except the mouse pointer thats works as expected. Deleting ~/.config/xfce4/
does correct the issue but after each startup this folder is recreated and I get the issue even without changing the configuration. It's very annoying to remove the config each time so I would like to know why it happens and how to solve it (if I can)....Solution:
Just changed
mesa
package to mesa-zink
and the issue gone. WTFWrt my benchmark
WRT (Web Request Tool) is a lightweight and fast tool for load testing and benchmarking HTTP(S) and RTMP servers, specifically designed for Termux and Linux systems.
It allows for controlled stress tests to measure web server performance with flexible options for concurrency, request count, and duration.
It is ideal for developers and administrators who want to evaluate their servers' capacity directly from Termux on mobile devices.
