Termux on android 5 or 6

agnostic-apollo edited this page Oct 19, 2023 · 10 revisions

Support for android 5 and 6 was re-added to termux-app in beginning of 2022, but no support or package updates are planned.

Until termux-app 0.119 is released users can install an apt-android-5 artifact from github CI builds: https://github.com/termux/termux-app/actions/workflows/debug_build.yml?query=branch%3Amaster+event%3Apush

Do not install termux-app from archive.org as it will not work anymore.

The updated, android-5 compatible app uses these repos:

deb https://packages.termux.dev/apt/termux-main-21 stable main
deb https://termux.dev/science-packages-21-bin science stable
deb https://termux.dev/game-packages-21-bin games stable
deb https://termux.dev/termux-root-packages-21-bin root stable

while the old android-5 compatible app subscribed to:

deb https://termux.net stable main
deb https://dl.bintray.com/grimler/science-packages-21 science stable
deb https://dl.bintray.com/grimler/game-packages-21 games stable
deb https://dl.bintray.com/grimler/termux-root-packages-21 root stable

All of which are down now.
