I just installed "Termux" and "Hacker’s keyboard," ran `apt upgrade`, `apt install emacs`, and ran `emacs` — everything worked flawlessly.

Unlike the OP though, I barely touched the on screen keyboard for all of this — I just used android voice input, even for the terminal commands and `enter` command.

I literally said "apt install emacs enter" out loud and it just worked! Voice recognition has come a long way.

Yes, after I published that post Fredrick patch the Emacs package on Termux so it wouldn't need those workarounds. I've updated the post accordingly.

Sadly (maybe it's my pronunciation), but voice typing isn't that perfect for me. It works alright for regular sentences, but it refuses to understands things that are not plain english (like apt).

Am I glad I didn't miss this post! I've been looking for a usable emacs setup on Android for a long time. Termux just worked out of the box.

I love `Termux`, but I never thought of using voice commands. I'll have to try that...
