I know there are some CLI junkies using Termux on their Android phones but the terminal has always been a separate app. Termux Expert Launcher changes that. Always at-the-ready terminal while being able to quickly launch Android apps when needed. Type a few letters and matching apps show up below. The command app by itself will present a scrollable list of installed apps. Been sticking with this for awhile now and liking it quite a bit. Best on larger devices.

    As far as I know, probably not. The main apps, TEL and TEL:API, have the same package names as Termux and Termux API respectively. TEL and its modules completely replace their Termux counterparts.

    If, for example, the dev had his own repo, TEL would show up under the Termux entry in the F-Droid app (as it currently does). Well, actually, TEL would be the entry and Termux versions would show up under that. That would confuse users because when a new version of Termux is released it may show up as an update to TEL. Or it may not due to signature mismatch. All has to do with the order of the repos. Get hit by that often (my installed Bromite SystemWebView became Ungoogled SystemWebView after adding Ungoogled repo; FakeStore is Google Play Store because of Nanolx repo, etc. etc.). But I digress.

    There was a long time between the old version and the current, much improved version so there isn’t currently a bunch of regular builds. The dev does have a Telegram update channel for any new builds though.
