"This version requires Android 7.0 or newer."
Termux is a great piece of software; I'd love if they would keep supporting older OS versions as well, since it's the kind of software one would keep on that old tablet to be used as a terminal or generally as a Swiss army knife.
- JoshTriplett 6y agoI find things like termux most useful with network connectivity, and a device you can't update should never be connected to a network.
- encom 6y agoMaximum snark: That covers most Android devices, then.
- duckerude 6y agoI find Termux most useful when I don't have connectivity. Two thirds of what I do in Termux could also be done over SSH, but I like keeping it local.
- jcynix 6y agoI beg to differ. Network connectivity in a managed home environment is fine. I use Termux to transfer backups, images, PDFs between my home server and an "old" Nexus7 tablet. And I sometimes use it as an offline map device while hiking, after downloading OSM maps and gpx files with track infos.
- jraph 6y agoI'm currently using an Android 6 phone. Fortunately, it is still possible to use Termux on it. Some things are not available (extra repositories) but many things are still here.
- casept 6y agoPut LineageOS on it.
