I use termius

Rescuer6394, 10 months ago

me too, but this is an open source community, and termius is closed source.

What I like about termux:

• A real shell that can be changed for zsh and ohmyzsh, for example

(github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting and github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestionsare really handy for quickly reusing familiar commands without having to retype everything, which saves a lot of time on a day-to-day basis)

• numerous packages available

The only flaw I’ve found with termux is its use of google dns :(

There are many foss options in the F-Droid store.

I use connectbot too and it is sub optimal but works for me… I only use it in emergencies. If I had any sort of regular use id want something else so following.

Not opensource, but i love juicessh. I keep coming back to it all the time.

It’s the extension to the keyboard. I wish a FOSS app did that.

Been using juicessh for years without any issues

As a user myself, I just tried out Termux. It has the same great keyboard row that juice has, and a lot more. I’ll be switching.

Just use Termux and install the openssh package. You can also install mosh, which is better than vanilla ssh.

Does this require a rooted phone to install packages in Termux?

smorks, 10 months ago

no, it works fine on my non-rooted phone.

Natanael, 9 months ago

No, they’re android apk packages and the main app recognize them just fine, root is only need for making system changes with it

Thanks for suggesting mosh! I use termux a lot for ssh, and mosh looks like it will fix some of my biggest issues with it. Mainly losing connection when switching networks.

I too, want an answer to this question, so I am leaving a comment as bait for others.
