Another Term Shell Plugin - Android 10 Essentials

Warning: this plugin has been SUSPENDED on Google Play as it

currently facilitates or provides instructions on how to hack services, software or hardware, or circumvent security protections and which violates the Device and Network Abuse policy, section 4.8 and 4.9 of the Developer Distribution Agreement (DDA)

...without any details on what exactly wrong. Basically, all the JIT compilers for Android can be suspended by Google from now on.

So, use on your own risk and feel free to review and recompile it by yourself to be sure.

This plugin for Another Term has been created in order to still be able to run Linux applications in the PRoot environment on Android 10 (API 29) and higher. It can also be used with any API >= 21 for convenience.

The implemented approach is not different from UserLAnd but separating it into a plugin seems more convenient.

Details
