Root permission is necessary.

Please try again using:

sudo htop

True, but it could probably be circumvented. TOP displays at least some of this data, and Android apps (some of them) can obtain information.

In theory, you would need to create a library that would return data from other sources to htop. The question is, however, whether it is worth it. Maybe if Termux develops significantly and there are no other major problems.

@IntinteDAO Sorry for the late reply! I forgot about it after reporting the issue!

Is it possible to implement something like the previous xfce4-taskmanager patch? The pull request also mentions that it should be possible to implement this in htop in a similar way!
