@hell See Android ports for GNU Emacs ⁨https://sourceforge.net/projects/android-ports-for-gnu-emacs/files/termux/⁩ and make sure you scroll down to the README.

I had plans for an even more extreme set-up using #NixOnDroid , but never got around to it

[d-nix#Instruction to manually sign apks](https://github.com/idlip/d-nix/tree/onepiece/home/programs/d-emacs#instruction-to-manually-sign-apks)

key diff between containers and vm for #nixos
container shares the host hardwar vm doesn't
vm can easily share nixos modules
container doesn't
looks like #nixOnDroid is a container and not a vm

Diving back into #NixOnDroid after I found a PR where someone added supervisord for managing services. Now I'm looking to see if I can run Ollama on my phone

@silverwizard @pluralistic @beeoproblem #NixPkgs includes butt, so right here, on my GrapheneOS device with #NixOnDroid I can get butt help... though it'll take five posts to fit my big butt help 🀣

Any way to trigger a command in #NixOnDroid with the press of a button on the home screen?

For #termux there is the widget app but it doesn't appear to work with #nix-on-droid.

I really don't want to have to install and maintain #gitAnnex using some install script and some prebuilt global FHS binaries when I could simply get it from #nixpkgs.

@aires What I really want is #NixOnDroid compiled with the #Emacs signing key so I can use #NixPackageManager to install the dependencies for #OrgRoam for use with the Android version of GUI Emacs πŸ˜‹

@ike @quad #Termux on Android seems to have it by default, but #NixOnDroid needs to have it installed as part of the util-linux package:

```
nix-on-droid@localhost ~> nix-shell -p util-linux --run cal 08:21:59

#NixOnDroid is really nifty. I just used it to re-encode some media files on the go, with appropriate CLI utils πŸ˜„

@svw @nickanderson I had the same question. A quick look found this, Orgro (Live your life in Org Mode? Take it with you on your Android device.) https://f-droid.org/packages/com.madlonkay.orgro/ , but it appears to use the service rather than local Files.

I was also experimenting with #NeoVim in #NixOnDroid, which, I think has an org-mode plugin.

@cassidy I've been surprised just how much can be done with #NixOnDroid, but that's a heavy lift for consumers, so I look forward to seeing what can be done with this nee VM. 😎
