Sadly, termux now has its own issues since android 12+. It is possible to work around the limitations, when you do not have an Android Phone with MDM enabled and have no problems with turning on dev tools and start remote adb from time to time. I no longer use it because of those reasons. However, there appears to be a native terminal in android 15. Maybe this will be the game changer I waited for.

On my (Pixel based) LineageOS ROM, you can disable enough power saving settings to make Termux work well again. Unfortunately, many vendors remove half the settings from their interfaces and make their app killers extra aggressive (just to spite people, it seems, because battery life doesn't seem affected in my experience).

If your phone's manufacturer disabled the necessary power saving settings, I doubt they'll enable them for the Android 15 terminal.
