🧰 Keystore Creation Methods

🏛️ Classic JKS Keystore (Legacy Support)

Run inside Termux:

keytool -genkeypair \
  -alias mykey \
  -keyalg RSA \
  -keysize 2048 \
  -validity 10000 \
  -keystore mykeystore.jks

⭐ Recommended: Modern PKCS12 Keystore

Run inside Termux:

keytool -genkeypair \
  -alias mykey \
  -keyalg RSA \
  -keysize 2048 \
  -validity 10000 \
  -keystore mykeystore.p12 \
  -storetype PKCS12

🧠 Parameter Explanation

Parameter Description
-alias Name of your key
-keyalg RSA Encryption algorithm
-keysize 2048 Key strength
-validity 10000 Key expiration in days
-keystore Output keystore file
-storetype PKCS12 Modern keystore format

✏️ Customization

Replace the following values:

mykey
mykeystore

With your preferred naming scheme.

🔐 Interactive Prompts

During generation, you will be asked for:

  • Keystore password
  • Key password
  • Name / Organization
  • Location / Country
  • Confirmation details

⚠️ Store alias and passwords safely. Losing them prevents future signing. Also enhancify requires them for one time importing.

📂 Export Keystore to Device Storage

Example command to copy keystore into shared storage:

cp mykeystore.p12 ~/storage/shared/MyKeys/

📁 Example Storage Locations

You may replace:

MyKeys

With folders such as:

  • Download
  • Documents
  • Custom signing folder

Example:

cp mykeystore.p12 ~/storage/shared/Download/

💻 Termux Prerequisite (If Storage Not Enabled)

If this is your first time using Termux storage access, run:

termux-setup-storage

Tap Allow when prompted.

🛠️ Expected Result

After successful execution:

  • Keystore file is generated
  • File can be used for signing workflows
  • File is accessible in shared Android storage

⚠️ Troubleshooting

keytool Not Found

Install Java inside Termux:

pkg install openjdk-21

Permission Denied During Copy

Verify storage access:

termux-setup-storage

Keystore Not Generated

Check for typos in command parameters.
