Make sure your device is rooted, and your kernel supports switching SELinux to Permissive. If not, trying to set SELinux to Permissive will cause a system-wide crash.

Note: I haven't found an easy way to move and merge folders, granted I only looked at the first google page. To avoid all the hassle just use a root file manager, move and merge it yourself. Using LinuxDeploy, the chroot filesystem is mounted at /data/local/mnt of Android's filesystem. You should move the extracted files to /usr/local/ within the chroot. Some shell requires you to log out (of SSH in this situation) and log in again for it to see changes in /usr/local/. I have tried moving the files by installing a file manager in the chroot and running it as root, but Xauth is preventing me, and it's not a problem worth dealing with. Alternatively just add read/write permission for your user at /usr/local/and copy there using your favorite file manager (eg nautilus, dolphin, etc)
This pre-built Termux-x11 has it's XDG_RUNTIME_DIR set to /data/local/mnt/termx11/, same as step Setup Xwayland in Configure chroot. With this, you won't need to symlink the socket as described here.
Termux-x11 will only work if you already started the chroot container. If not, check the notification to stop the service, and if Termux has any running tasks you will need to stop them too.
Whenever you start a chroot container and intend to use Termux-x11. Make sure that:
- SELinux is set to permissive, using Termux:
su -c setenforce 0
And then start Termux-x11. On my device, Termux-x11 doesn't show "Service was created" every time after a chroot container was mounted. So you must check the /termx11/ path of the chroot to see if the 2 socket files were created. If they are already there before Termux-x11 was started, It is advisable to remove them first with rm -rf /termx11/*, though it should already be removed when starting a container from LinuxDeploy using the init script at /home/your_username/startup. Stop Termux-x11 from the notification bar and start it again. Socket files should now be created in chroot's /termx11/.
Alternatively, start your chroot container and start Termux-x11; if the "Service was created" notification did not pop up, open the notification bar and stop Termux-x11; when starting it again, the notification "Service was created" should pop up. If not, check it manually as described above.
- Listen to chroot audio, using Termux:
pulseaudio --start --exit-idle-time=-1
pacmd load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1
Once SSH into the chroot, you can run the following command to start a shell on the Xwayland session:
Xwayland :0 -noreset & sleep 1 && fish #or any shell of your choice
If Xwayland returns "Couldn't add screen", try the debugging steps above.
After that, start a windows manager to make use of Termux-x11 auto-resizing feature:

Configure wine:
box86 wine winecfg
And start the program/game you wanted using wine:
box86 wine app.exe
- Note:
export GALLIUM_DRIVER=zinkfor better 3D performance since Mesa is already compiled. But if you encounter problems while using Zink, switch back to the default renderer withexport GALLIUM_DRIVER=llvmpipe. Example:GALLIUM_DRIVER=zink box86 wine game.exe
