I'm currently in the process of trying to see if Samsung DeX is able to replace my laptop. It is running directly on Termux, as opposed to using something like proot. So far it seems promising, and the biggest thing issue I have is that the Termux-X11 session essentially acts like a VM in that shortcuts are not seemless.

I'd love to know how this compares to that. Or maybe there's a way to make that more seemless. E.g. if apps would be shown as Android apps as far as the launcher is concerned.

Emacs-termux is awkward to get working initially, but it gives you more-or-less full emacs as an Android app, but sharing storage/namespace with termux so that they both have access to the same binaries and documents.

There isn't a good project page, it's based at this sourceforgw page and has a surprisingly comprehensive readme.

Essential part of termux- .emacs, enabling touchscreen:

    (xterm-mouse-mode 1)
    (global-set-key (kbd "<mouse-5>") 'scroll-up-command)
    (global-set-key (kbd "<mouse-4>") 'scroll-down-command)

I think this is for running emacs as a TUI within the termux terminal. The package I linked runs graphical emacs and just shares a filesystem with termux (to allow you to install git etc.). YMMV, but touchscreen should work out-of-the-box
