Google have declared Droidscript is malware

Once there is no way to run Termux that will be the end of the line for me and I've been on the Android train since the G1 days. I am ok with installing it from F-Droid or adb as long as it remains runnable. (I guess I am in the bargaining phase)

I don't think that I am ok with not being able to easily run my own executables since I rely on running a few Go utilities in the Termux CLI.

I'm personally planning to replace termux with a full chroot; my phone is rooted, so all I need is an app to give me the actual terminal emulator and I'm good. This would be fine for running the odd Go utility, but is likely to be insufficient if you're doing anything with the actual Android API (which termux has been great at). And of course, in the long term this is just another reason for me to hope the pinephone gets to prod-ready ASAP:)

I am curious what root kit you use for rooting your droid? I’ve always been hesitant to trust 3rd party kits like that.

I use magisk; it's open source and reputable.
