[Bug]: Termux Signal 9 Android 12

[DarkRuke]

Problem description

I have been having an issue with termux, In Android 12 as it was recently officially released, I'm using Miui13 Redmi note11T 5g, Whenever i start my vnc server in termux it starts fine but after 2mins i get this error named [Process completed(Signal 9)- Press Enter], Pressing enter it throws me out of the app, It silently kills my vnc whenever i am trying to code( Yes i do not have a pc), And this error has been going through for a long time i wanna know ARE TERMUX DEVS REALLY AWARE OF THIS?, Are they actually trying to fix this!? I know the fault is of Android 12 but somehow they can make the phantom process killer a fool right??

Steps to reproduce the behavior.

Use Android 12 Run Vnc server in termux it will automatically close itself when you switch to vnc viewer or likely apps

What is the expected behavior?

No response

System information

• Termux application version: 0.119.1
• Android OS version: 12
• Device model: Redmi Note 11T 5g

ARE TERMUX DEVS REALLY AWARE OF THIS

@DarkRuke Before assuming that devs are not aware of certain major issues I'd suggest to start using search or at least, LOOK AT PINNED ISSUES.

Are they actually trying to fix this!?

Can't be fixed on Termux side.

I know the fault is of Android 12 but somehow they can make the phantom process killer a fool right?

There are 2 only possible solutions:

• If you are using debug Android build, you can change phantom killer threshold in developer settings.
• Change phantom killer threshold using ADB or rooted shell.

You don't need PC for the latter variant.

@sylirre can you state the method in details to turn it off from developer settings? i can't find in google

Read the comments in the linked issue near the end and you will find your answer. Repeating the same thing again and again for everyone is stupid.

And apart from the pinned issue, the main README of this repo already mentions phantom processes in bold right at the top, but that would also require actually reading it.

@DarkRuke I've mentioned specifically If you are using debug Android build (debug Android ROM can be installed if you're rooted). Normal Android builds do not have option in developer settings.
