Writing

Debugging a shared-UID Android plugin: why my Termux theme wasn't hot-reloading

How live-reload broke across two stacked bugs in Termux's plugin broadcast contract, and what it took to actually fix it.

Install

F-Droid — recommended, coming soon

Matches how the original termux-styling add-on is distributed. F-Droid builds and signs the whole Termux app family itself, so the signature always matches an F-Droid-installed Termux.

GitHub Releases — advanced users

Signed with an untrusted debug key — only installs next to a self-built, debug-signed Termux. Not for most users. See the README for details.

Build it yourself
