Germux, step by step.

A new terminal and connections approved on the computer.

The new app has named desktops, a session list, previews and the ability to hide and reopen a running session. It also adds local help for users and AI, optional PIN/password protection with biometrics, and shared frosted settings windows.

The new SSH client discovers PCs and asks for phone approval on the computer. Permission is remembered, and a rejected request can be retried. Initial pairing still needs USB preparation.

We added a separate PC tools update on USB without rewriting the full image. Automated checks passed; full testing of the new APK, Live USB, restarts and network loss is still pending.

New APK with a rebuilt terminal emulator path for TUI applications.

This test build moves the terminal toward a fuller emulator for tools such as Claude Code, Codex and other TUI programs. The goal is controlled interactive rendering without random flicker, lost history or unstable scroll behavior.

• stabilized entry and exit for TUI applications and the terminal history preservation mode,
• improved scrolling: typing from the top of history jumps directly back to the active prompt, while active output can be followed by touch,
• added support for ANSI backgrounds, extended colors, block graphics and transparency handling for terminal background layers,
• added settings and developer commands for mouse reporting and BEL sound, with mouse reporting disabled by default,
• expanded SSH/trace diagnostics to test Claude, Codex and later terminal programs without manually copying output.

This is still a prototype release. Next tests will cover nano, vim, mc, less and other fullscreen terminal programs.

A dedicated page explaining what Germux is has been added.

The new About page describes the creator, current state, goals and near-term directions: TUI packages, APK/dev tooling, servers, graphics, Source Translator and future website and app translations.

Germux 0.2.2-lockfix: local lock fix and versioned APK release.

This build fixes the local app lock: normal app switching no longer asks for fingerprint every time, and cancelling biometrics no longer opens Germux without PIN.

• fixed PIN/biometric lock behavior after restart or force stop,
• the stable APK link still works as germux-latest.apk, but the downloaded filename carries the version,
• the admin panel now includes recipe and server file download statistics,
• the release manifest now points to APK 0.2.2-lockfix, code 27.

Germux 0.2.1-menu-pin: cleaner settings, local PIN lock and release cleanup.

This test build simplifies the main settings menu, moves terminal style controls into their own section, keeps terminal output as a separate item and places the Germux exit action at the bottom.

• added a local 4-8 digit PIN lock with optional biometrics after PIN setup,
• updated Polish labels and several app messages,
• kept the current smoother terminal output work and the started HDMI mode,
• the release manifest now points to APK 0.2.1-menu-pin, code 26.

English website pages added.

The first static English page set was added under /en/ with language switches, hreflang links and sitemap entries. Dynamic JavaScript messages remain a later extraction task.
