Panda-na that had some fascinating posts but i dont see which posts were really relevant to GPU acceleration and hardware virtualization beyond what little was said ..

I did however read this tidbit which i like:

" User-facing VM management is coming."

    mmobder Termux by itself is kinda old and dangerous app, not talking about its repositories that are almost always connect to .cn servers

    The Play Store version targets SDK 34 now though which is nice.

      4 months later

      This has now rolled out to the stock Pixel OS as part of the March 2025 update, according to https://www.androidauthority.com/android-linux-terminal-app-available-3532999/

      Though it is reportedly terminal apps only (GUI apps are expected to work in Android 16).

      Anyone gotten a chance to try it out yet? I'm guessing, at least right now, it's on stock OS only. I don't see the option to enable it on my GOS device.

        matchboxbananasynergy Great to know! I'm hoping it may be feasible to use this instead of Termux in the future, but I guess it remains to be seen how well this solution integrates with Android storage, etc.

        Even with just terminal apps, though, it'll hopefully be useful for firing off the occasional ffmpeg or rclone command.

          slimjim55 Would it be possible to have the terminal accessible with the developer options disabled?

          The post you are replying to includes "does not work on GrapheneOS yet" (with "does not" bolded). Is the request that something that does not work be made more available?

            I hope people share their use cases once it goes live. Debian already runs on all my other devices, and I believe there will be many innovative setups w/ the additional capabilities

            Super cool that you guys have this working now! I just tried it myself and I couldn't be more excited. Does anyone know how to access internal storage from the terminal?

            Please continue this in https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/20647-user-facing-hardware-virtualization-support-in-our-next-os-release. 2025030900 is the first release with the Terminal VM management app and our next release backports support for GUI applications, opt-in GPU hardware acceleration, speaker, microphone and more including a bunch of fixes. Can talk about it in the current thread for this.
