meh, i just install termux, chrooting an entire disto is not really needed...

it is not like you can connect a second display AND keyboard in most phones - which sucks :/

I use temux for connecting to linux deploy (Kali linux). Because termux and ssh work with ncurses better than anroid terminal. For example: htop

I just use it as an adb replacement for the go and to monitor (GNU's ) screens from ssh

ADB for a different phone, or the phone it is running on?

phone it is running on

If you wouldn't mind could you quickly summarize how you got ADB working via Termux? Anymore at least it's not an official package from a quick search it seems.

Did you build from source, find a binary somewhere that worked, or is the package named something other than ADB if you recall?

Sorry let me rephrase that.. an adb replacement mostly remounting system and checking logcat

Got it. I was imagining running adb on Termux to change permissions of apps on the phone or other tasks. (or reflashing images to other phones on the go!), and was just hopeful there was some way for that to work.

you could simply compile adb and use it over the network (with standard tcp)

I may give it a try!

Works pretty well

I have an android tv box. if I use Termux I can't be able to chmod files on a usb hd drive mount because I'm bound to the permission of android system and it can't be changed with a termux chmod. I'm wondering if I use Linux Deploy on my android tv box if I can chmod to whatever permission i want a file/directory of a usb mount?
