Another Box86 and Box64 Android project using glibc-for-termux

androBox

androBox is a series of wrapper scripts for box86/box64 by ptitseb, meant to work in Termux. Unlike similiar projects, this one runs completely natively on Android without chroot/proot resulting in greater speed, all thanks to Glibc-for-Termux project.

Requirments

An Android phone preferably running Android 11 or newer, Termux from F-Droid and Termux-X11 apk.

Install

Paste this command in terminal:

cd $HOME && rm -rf ~/setup.sh && curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Pipetto-crypto/androBox/androBoxNew/setup.sh -O && bash setup.sh

Simple Usage

From's today update to launch androBox, you can just type androBox in terminal and follow instructions on screen. After updating you will get a black screen or it may not work, that's normal. Force close Termux and Termux:X11 and use new command to launch

Gpu A640
Android 13

wine 7.1

could you please patch wine 7.1 to work on termux natively
it will be so helpful

Affinity core

Can you add set affinity core option on termux ?

Always set as in the pict, have slow performance

Failed update prfx

Hello bro, can you make a option re-install glibc_prefix.tar.xz via termux without clear all data/Cache?
I had connection problems while updating prefix, and couldn't boot on termux11.

termux closes after 5 minutes

Device : redmi 12C
Ram: 3 GB
SoC: mediatek helio G85
Android version: android 12

Everything starts perfectly but after a few minutes the termux application in the background closes.
This problem does not happen to me with exagear or with winlator.

Change glibc and wine path (conflict with other project)

androbox and box64droid use the same location for glibc and wine
It makes switching between them almost impossible without clearing prefix and wine folder

can't install on Android 14

Error Can't run Box64

I've tried re-installing several times, but an error always occurs. and switch to box86 which has poor performance. This happens with new code/script updates. because when I first installed it two days ago, there were no problems like this

Like this

Can´t open diplay : 0

Hi there.
I just made a clean install of termux and androBox, but if i enter androbox and then number 1, it is trying to find the correct resolution and shows "Can´t open diplay : 0".
Then it opens termux:x11, but nothing more happens. It does not start the windows desktop.

Hello, is it possible to add native controller support for rooted devices?

Some people got it working for box64droid so I was wondering if it was possible on androBox. I can however see that androBox seems quite different from box64droid and other similar projects.

Nothing happens when launching winetricks gui

It goes to openbox then after a few seconds returns to wine without showing anything

When I write "winetricks --gui" in terminal in openbox I get this error

CANNOT LINK EXCUTABLE "zenity": library "libicuuc.so.73" not found: needed by /data/data/com.termus/files/usr/lib/libharfbuzz-icu.so in namespace (default)

Then nothing shows.
I didn't face this before and it only happened after I cleared termux data and reinstalled androBox so I guess it's because a recent update
Also I tried to reinstall androBox a lot of times but I still get this same error

Add Wine-GE to setup.sh installer?

It looks like there are only Wine 8.0 and 8.14 to choose in the install setup. Could it be possible to add Wine-GE 8-13 to the installer?

Thanks.
