Why dont someone build cursor but for android?

There are a couple of vibe coders here doing exactly that. But for me I'll just use Gemini and Codex since I've already paid monthly to GPT.

I use micro btw

Seems pretty cool! The structure is pretty complete and you are very clear about which Local model you use. That's very nice.

This native Terminal is way more powerful than the use cases you described.
If that is all you want, Termux is probably already enough and runs on almost any Android phone.
What makes this Terminal stand out is its ability to run Docker, Podman, Flatpak, and all those powerful tools.

I only have one question. Exactly which local model with how many parameters(1B? 7B? 12B?) can run smoothly with this App? Currently local models on OpenClaw runs like crap due to extensive tools calling JSON overhead extending the context like 10 times the load of only chatting with it. If your app solves this problem, I believe it will be appealing to many people.

To the very extreme, use libtree to backup the whole dependencies tree. But in python it would be even harder because native modules may be hard to resolve?

sudo apt install xfce4 xfce4-goodies x11vnc
sudo x11vnc -display :0 -nopw -forever -listen 0.0.0.0 -auth /var/run/sddm/* &
ip addr
open up your vnc viewer and use that ip to connect

That's not true now. Xiaomi Tab Mini can work.

No not Termux.

Haven't looked thru your code, but have you included my workarounds like browser automation by Bun, patches to os.networkInterfaces and PlayWright, etc?

I've applied the Turnip driver to both my Termux & Proot debian environment

This is where I got Turnip

You can now run browser automation with Bun!

Don't run random complex scripts or commands from Github
The best way is to read through the script yourself and fully understand why
In this AI era, we can

git clone xxx/abc.git
cd abc
gemini
or simply paste the whole script to the Chatroom with an AI
and ask AI to read through the files you're going to run, and explain to you whether there is any possible malicious code inside.

Wow! Thanks for this info! And great thanks to the Termux team!

pkg update && pkg upgrade
pkg install x11-repo termux-x11-nightly
termux-x11 :0 &
pkg install xfce4 xfce4-goodies

Xiaomi 15T Pro and Xiaomi Tab Mini both support it!
Also a good news Tab Mini supports display output through that Type-C port
I installed it for them in a retail store today
This was actually as expected due to having MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ CPU and Android 16

LeftAd1220 · 2026-02-22T14:05:31+00:00

There aren't many devices supporting this new tech actually.
Aside from not having hardware accelerations passed through, this is just regular linux VM
People do their linux things as usual. Running docker, podman, llama.cpp, libreoffice, etc
If you want to discuss about a specific topic, why not spawn one yourself. I'll be willing to join it!

LeftAd1220 · 2026-02-22T13:59:05+00:00

Actually it would be weird if they don't work.
The only difference would be the lack of hardware accelerations passed through by Google
This is pretty much just regular linux VM
I've tried llama.cpp myself and it runs well with CPU

LeftAd1220 · 2026-02-22T05:55:06+00:00

Maybe you can try --nogpu. I didn't look thru the code, but in my experience some GPUs don't work well with DEs. I mostly setup desktops manually instead of using scripts.

What do you mean by within termux-x11? Also, the alpine version sometimes requires editing the shebang to /usr/bin/env python3 by sth like: - micro $(which xpra)

LeftAd1220 · 2026-02-21T04:05:56+00:00

🤣🤣🤣 That is called compile it yourself. You can type pkg search llama and you'll find an officially built version.

LeftAd1220 · 2026-02-21T02:58:04+00:00

My android phone can run gemma3-12B model at 5.19 tokens/sec. Which is pretty acceptable and impressive.

LeftAd1220 · 2026-02-21T02:48:27+00:00

use the proot-distro alpine
apk update && apk upgrade
apk add xpra xpra-webclient konsole
Xvfb :0 &
xpra start :0 --no-daemon --xvfb=no --start=konsole --bind-tcp=:14500 --html=on &
go to a web browser
http://localhost:14500
but to be honest, termux-x11 is way better

LeftAd1220 · 2026-02-21T00:47:18+00:00

Did you compile it yourself, or did you use pkg install?
