Termux is a popular terminal emulator for Android devices that allows you to run a Linux-like environment and use various command-line tools and utilities. One of the coolest features of Termux is the ability to customize the look and feel of your terminal by adding a banner with your own text and design. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to add a permanent Evil Eye banner to your Termux header using a simple script, and how to remove it when you want to go back to the default settings.
Adding the Evil Eye banner in Termux
To add the Evil Eye banner in Termux, you need to follow these steps:
- Open Termux and type “pkg install git -y” to install the Git package.
- Clone the Evil Eye project from the Bhai4You GitHub repository by running “git clone https://github.com/Bhai4You/Termux-Banner“.
- Change the directory to the Termux-Banner folder by running “cd Termux-Banner“.
- Give execute permission to all files in the folder by running “chmod +x *“.
- Install the requirements for the banner by running “bash requirement.sh” (this will install packages like figlet, toilet, cow say, nano, ruby, local cat, which may use more than 100 MB of data if you’re using mobile data).
- Run the t-ban.sh file by running “bash t-ban.sh“.
- Enter your banner text and cowsay name when prompted.

PS1=’$ ‘” > /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/etc/bash.bashrc“
