The Mini Guide to Termux QOL Packages

Tired of a basic, clunky Termux terminal? Transform it into a powerful, efficient mobile hacking environment with these essential Quality of Life (QOL) packages.

πŸ—οΈ The Absolute Must-Haves:

  1. termux-api: Bridge your terminal & phone. Access storage, clipboard, sensors.
    • Don't forget to install the **Termux:API* app from F-Droid!*
  2. Run termux-setup-storage: Grants easy access to your phone's Downloads, DCIM, etc.

⚑ The Game Changers:

  • Zsh + Oh My Zsh: A smart shell with auto-suggestions, beautiful themes, and plugins.
  • micro: A modern text editor with familiar keybindings (Ctrl+S to save) and full touchscreen support.
  • ranger: A visual file manager. Navigate directories faster than with ls and cd.
  • htop: A powerful, interactive system monitor to see what's running on your device.

πŸš€ Quick Install Command:

pkg update && pkg upgrade -y
pkg install -y git zsh micro termux-api ranger htop
