Our infinitely powerful editor.
#Emacs is now available in #fdroid
And, surprisingly, it just ..works?
You can scroll buffers by touch scrolling and tapping a text buffer opens the keyboard.
The menu bar is finally useful because it pops out as a native menu.
This is trippy, this could almost be usable..
I'll have to get my config into this; I don't doubt it'd just work.
My problem with F-Droid's Emacs is not the Emacs but me relying on tons of external programs. So Termux variant works for me better because it's not just Emacs, but whole distro (with rg, git, python, language servers etc.
Check out termux so you can combine the native install with tools such as Git to have a fuller installation. org-roam seems to work. No native compilation but performance is still ok. Also turn on touch-screen-display-keyboard and touch-screen-precision-scroll.
I would love to use it, but I've had some issues with getting it working with Termux. The author provides some builds that have the same signatures as Termux, along with instructions on setting up early-init.el here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/android-ports-for-gnu-emacs/ which I thought should resolve any issues. However, I've encounter issues with permissions and with interpreting certain paths (/usr/bin, /etc/ /usr/lib) which makes some features which execute commands fail on Emacs. I also get annoying warnings spamming the console like WARNING: linker: normalize_path - invalid input: "nil", the input path should be absolute. I'm kind of waiting until someone has a better solution for Termux integration.
