You can work on a shell, (and even have a full GNU/Linux installation) with all standard tools using Termux.
Also, rooting your phone gives you access to all files, but I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea.
- TekMol 6y agoThe question is how trustworthy you consider the guy who made termux. And if you would trust them to have full power over your operating system. I prefer more popular and proven providers like Debian. With rooting it is similar. You usually give full control over your machine to "someone from the internet" who provides you with the root mechanism.
