Codex for Android 0.160.0-android.1 (early access)

Codex for Android brings OpenAI Codex to ARM64 Termux on Android 10 or newer.

Early access: This release contains real Android ARM64 binaries, but physical-device acceptance is pending. Authentication, interactive terminal behavior, command execution, MCP, and code-mode still need real-device verification. Five retained desktop/transport tests remain unresolved; see validation.

Published on npm: codex-android@0.160.0-android.1 is available with the latest tag. The public registry download was verified byte for byte against the attached GitHub release tarball.

Install in standard ARM64 Termux with Node 22 or newer:

npm install -g codex-android
codex login --device-auth
codex

All bundled ELF binaries have 16 KiB-aligned load segments. Device execution
remains unverified.

Download size is approximately 147 MB; the installed package occupies approximately
382 MB before caches and session data. Keep it in Termux private storage.

The npm package and attached tarball contain the same bundled runtime: Codex, its code-mode host, C++ runtime, launcher, artwork, and required notices. The checksum sidecar verifies the attached tarball:

sha256sum -c codex-android-0.160.0-android.1.tgz.sha256
