termux-desktop-xfce

Set up a beautiful xfce desktop in termux

Attention!

I'm currently working on a big update for the end of this year (or even sooner), with big improvements to the interface, themes and cool features!

Tasks

  • Redesign in interface themes.
  • Look for a lighter alternative to Papirus icons that follows the Material Design scheme
  • add a nice welcome screen that will help the user to get started (configuration and add additional software), you can also choose which browser you want to use by default (This will give you a more user friendly experience, similar to a GNU/Linux distribution)
  • try to pack all modifications in packages, do not modify $HOME for user convenience.
  • And many more surprises!

Thank you for your attention, you can continue with the description of the project.

Requirements

  • No root permission is required to make this work
  • an Android 7+ phone
  • Termux (F-Droid)

Termux from Google Play is unmaintained due to API requirements, use the F-Droid one instead.

  • 1GB of RAM (minimum) 2GB of RAM (recommended)
  • VNC Client

NOTE: You can also use xserver-xsdl, bvnc pro or kali-Kex

What is this?

This is an advanced configuration of termux x11, rich in features to be highly functional, good looking, highly customizable and with very good optimization, this was inspired by @Manjaro manjaro-site and from @adi1090x 's termux-desktop , resulting in a highly useful and optimized desktop.

Screenshots:

Current version of this project: v5.0.3

Themes

Aside from the screenshots above, there are many more themes you can change from settings. There's tons of wallpapers too!

Less apps ?, I have made a configuration to run the apps of a proot distro in termux native desktop. An example:

./start-ubuntu.sh
apt install firefox
export DISPLAY=:1
firefox

You can run proot apps without problems

firefox libreoffice_load libreoffice_app

Installation

NOTE: This only works on Termux. Do not try it on other linux terminal emulators.

curl -sLf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Yisus7u7/termux-desktop-xfce/main/boostrap.sh | bash

After that just have a cup of coffee... the script will do its job

Usage

Run:

Inside a proot-distro

vncserver -listen tcp

No proot-distro

vncserver

Some documentation

If you're trying to launch an x application inside proot-distro and already did export DISPLAY=:1 but gives you an error that says Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused , then login to proot-distro with

proot-distro login ubuntu --user (yourname) --shared-tmp

(yourname) would be something like root or your sudo name.

Starting XFCE

To start the vnc server, connect to localhost: 1 Or the port indicated by the terminal. Any error, question or suggestion, report it in: https://github.com/Yisus7u7/termux-desktop-xfce/issues
