Any X forwarding over SSH application for Android smartphones?

Veteran
Cannot find one which is really working, properly displays windows and takes keyboard input.
All I find are crappy/experimental ones.
I'm not looking for VNC/RDP apps just X forwarding over SSH which will work on a 5'' Android smartphone screen.
Any idea?

Android doesn't come with an X server, so X forwarding won't work.
There's an old and incomplete Android port of X on Google Play (search for "X Server"), but it's probably not worth the effort.
I seem to recall someone compiled a Xvfb package for termux, serving it via a local VNC server.
XSDL is a bit buggy, but it generally works.
