Carlos, I think for access to Termux programs (which normally exist in
Termux private data dir such as /data/data/com.termux/), you would need
to choose one of the builds that includes its own copy of Termux, built
to share signing key with Emacs. Those are in the termux/ subdirectory
of the Sourceforge project you linked. Backing up Termux and
reinstslling from Po Lu's build from Sourceforge would also be needed.
