CPU utilization is approx. 40-50%

I'd also like to know that. And also the upper limit for shaping.

I found that using QEMU 2.9.1 which is faster than QEMU 8.x which is currently available.
If someone try to build QEMU 2.9.1 termux-qemu that will be great.
I tried it a little bit but looks like need more time.
I have uploaded my diff varunpalekar/termux-qemu-2.9.1 if someone want to try it.

No, I dont mean that, its not possible

The concept is to run openwrt on top of android in a virtualized state.

maybe termux can be used to host chroot distro or run docker container for openwrt on top of it, I realize the android needs to be rooted to modify the nuts & bolts for network things,

but I havent found the solution yet nor its ported to termux yet

still flogging that dead horse, are we ?

The final solution is still to run it on bare metal. So by removing Android.
OpenWrt if considering this way can and should use all the work spend on PostmarketOS. A huge amount of devices is running now Mainline Linux kernel thanks to PostmarketOS.
Probably the best starting point of such development would be taking the PinePhone Pro (Rockchip SoC) and building something for this device. When its running good in general, a switch to a different phone for example with 5g build in and working with mainline kernel could be the solution.

@xpciuhru
I agree with you for now
but your assertion negates the genericness & universal nature of OpenWrt

I would not risk mobile's stability just to run OpenWrt

@frollic
OpenWrt spoiled me, now Android hotspot feels like a downgrade
