I installed termux from GitHub workflow, not from some UltraMod website.
It works for my purposes, more or less.
I have also created a self-signed pair of packages for termux, and
emacs. I didn't actually rebuild them, I have just unpacked and
re-signed them with apktool/jarsigner.
(Like here https://github.com/marek-g/marek-g.github.io/blob/44d1b74493e35ef9f2e206657f42d3e927ee7751/posts/tips_and_tricks/emacs_on_android.md)

Well, unmaintained, unsupported, buggy... but still lets me use my
7-years-old ebook reader almost as a true laptop, with git and gcc, and
now with Emacs.

2. Unrelated to termux, but related to Android.

Is there a way to stop the on-screen keyboard pop-up when C-s or C-r is
pressed? I am using a physical keyboard, so I don't really need the
on-screen one.

It does _not_ pop up when I use any other keyboard-involving command,
such as M-x, or even non-incremental search (spawned when I type the 🔍
button present on some keyboards).
