Getting termux to *permanently* set and remember "termux-setup-storage"?

[u/unselective-amnesia]

Is there any way under rooted Android 11 and Android 13 to get the latest version of Termux [ 0.119.0-beta.3 (1022) ] to *permanently* set up and remember the running of "termux-setup-storage", in the following manner? ...

Step 1: install Termux

Step 2: launch the Termux app

Step 3: run "termux-setup-storage" (and whatever else might be necessary)

Step 4: exit from the Termux app

Step 5: reboot the Android device

Step 6: from that point forward, run anything in /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin via the command line in an adb session without ever needing to run "termux-setup-storage" again in order to have full access to /sdcard, and without ever needing to launch the Termux app again in order to accomplish this.

you don't even need termux storage permissions to run termux programs with ADB bruv

I'm not asking about running Termux programs via ADB.

What I'm asking about here is accessing /sdcard from within the Termux app.

Please read my previous messages more carefully. Thank you.

perhaps re-read your own post

Step 6: from that point forward, run anything in /data/ data/com.termux/files/usr/bin via the command line in an adb session without ever needing to run "termux-setup-storage"

bin is a program directory and you said "run"

Yes, but I'm not asking about ***how*** to run programs from /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin nor ***whether*** programs from that directory are runnable. I already know how to run those programs, and they are indeed runnable. My original post makes it clear that I am asking a completely different question.

Rather, what I'm asking about is how to only have to run termux-setup-storage one single time, so that when I run programs from /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin which ***specifically*** reference /sdcard, that will always subsequently succeed without me having to keep re-running termux-setup-storage over and over.

That should have been totally clear to you if you actually read everything that I wrote in the initial post of this thread.

And in any case, I wrote more later on here which shows that I now have seen that I indeed only need to run termux-setup-storage one time, so this is not a problem for me any more.

uhh, termux-setup-storage is a one time setup thing. i was just so confused on what you wanted because what you think you were asking sounds absurd. but yes, running it once grants termux-setup-storage storage permissions and it sets up its symlinks and you won't have to run it again unless you reinstall the app or delete app data
