mithun50/openclaw-termux

OpenClaw is an Android application and command-line interface that provides an AI gateway by running a Linux environment via PRoot on mobile devices. It manages background services for Node.js, SSH, and terminal access, exposing device capabilities like camera and location to various AI providers. The system supports both a Flutter-based mobile dashboard and a Termux-compatible CLI for configuration and interaction.

Added a new build script that automates the creation of the OpenClaw Flutter Android APK. The process fetches pre-compiled PRoot binaries, libtalloc, and libandroid-shmem from Termux packages for multiple architectures (arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86\_64) and bundles them into the app's native libraries, ensuring the Linux environment emulation layer is available at runtime.

The app now runs its core components (Node, SSH, Setup, Terminal, and Screen Capture) as Android foreground services. This ensures these processes remain active in the background by displaying persistent notifications and acquiring wake locks, preventing the system from killing them while idle. Users will see status notifications for each service, such as SSH port status or setup progress, and the app will maintain connectivity and recording capabilities even when the UI is not in the foreground.

This change introduces the foundational Android application structure for OpenClaw, including the AndroidManifest.xml with necessary permissions (such as POST\_NOTIFICATIONS, FOREGROUND\_SERVICE, and USB host access) and declarations for foreground services (Gateway, Terminal, Node, SSH, Screen Capture). It adds Kotlin native components (ArchUtils, BootstrapManager, ProcessManager, GatewayService, MainActivity) that handle proot environment setup, rootfs extraction, and gateway process management, bridging the Flutter UI with the underlying Linux environment. The entry also includes the new OpenClaw branding assets (lobster-themed launcher icon) and security-focused backup rules that exclude sensitive credentials (Ed25519 keys, auth tokens) from cloud and device backups.

The repository is initialized with the core project documentation and configuration files, including a comprehensive README detailing the OpenClaw AI Gateway for Android (both Flutter app and Termux CLI), a CHANGELOG tracking versions from v1.0.0 to v2026.9.14, and an AGENTS.md guide for AI contributors. Supporting files include a Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct, an .npmignore to exclude development artifacts from the npm package, an ESLint configuration for code quality, and a simplified install.sh script for the Termux CLI. This establishes the project's branding, build requirements, and user-facing documentation.

The flutter\_app location introduces the OpenClaw mobile application, featuring a modern SaaS-style UI with a dark/light theme and Inter typography. It integrates the OpenClaw Gateway and Node services, providing a dashboard to manage gateway status, configure settings, and view logs. The app supports multiple AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Ollama, etc.) and allows users to install optional development tools like Go, Homebrew, and SSH within the proot environment. Node capabilities such as camera, location, and battery are registered and exposed to the AI gateway, with background persistence handled via a foreground service.

The executable binary located in the bin directory has been renamed from openclawd to openclawx. Users should update any scripts, shortcuts, or references that invoke the previous binary name to use the new name.

The setup process has been redesigned to install proot-distro, Ubuntu, Node.js 22, and OpenClaw within a proot container rather than relying solely on the native Termux environment. The CLI command has been renamed from 'openclawd' to 'openclawx' (reflected in the binary and help text), and the internal configuration directory has been renamed from '.openclawd' to '.openclaw'. The gateway port is now resolved dynamically via a new 'getGatewayPort' function instead of being hard-coded, and the version is read directly from package.json to prevent drift. Additionally, the installer now includes a 'shell' command to enter the Ubuntu environment and improved status checks that avoid blocking on proot login timeouts.

lib · high confidence

The command-line interface has been renamed from 'openclawd' to 'openclawx' (with the setup command also updated to 'openclawx-setup'), and the project now requires Node.js version 22 or higher. Additionally, ESLint has been added as a development dependency with corresponding lint scripts, and the package metadata has been updated to reflect the new repository URL and version.
