#termux

Can I overclock an android tablet with termux? Say, by sending some value to something inside /sys/.../cpu or the likes. I have already aggressively debloated the tablet, but I like to experiment and I am not afraid to destroy the tablet since I bought it for 150 bucks at sale. Or pehaps there is some Magisk module that can do this? The tablet is a Samsung Galaxy A9+.

Today, May the 4th, we are releasing the terminal music player kew 4.0 “Love is gonna save us edition” for Linux, macOS, Android (Termux) and FreeBSD.

New in this version:

• New playback pipeline with improved performance and latency (built on miniaudio)

• Real-time ASCII visualizations (via Chroma)

Free, open source, no tracking, no ads, completely offline

I was unsatisfed with all the music players for Android, as none of them had the flexability of the mpc, mpd, and ncmpcpp workflow.

So I started using that on Termux, then I was bored, and found out about the termux-notification command. Setting that script was pretty stright forward. Do keep in mind that this does require the termux-api app.

There are two notifications types “default” and “media”. Default gives you 3 button which you could customize the text and function of. Media givesbyou those 4 media buttons, and i think it interacts with Android’s media shenanigans.

Anyway, I needed more than 4 buttons, so I thought of the following features: if you press pasue/play while the mpd is already paused/playing you’ll get another notification with an alt menu. Sadly I couldn’t implement it correctly, as switching between the notifications kept spawning instances of “mpc current –wait” that I didn’t know how to get rid of. So that remains a project for later.

Other cool shit you can do with termux-api:

• Turn the phone’s torch on and off.
• Get data from phone sensors (i think there’s a sensor for when headphones are plugged in/off which would be useful for me).

Todo:

• Implement the alt menu, to give me options such as adding artists, albums, playists and stuff. I thunk i’ll just go with shell command execution. If you use the “$REPLY” variable in your notification actions, you can enter arbitraty text and process it in termux.
• Upload this thing to codeberg lol.
