It's impressive how much root can actually get you, that's debian running xfce on my lg g3 and chromium.

It's always nice to know that you can have a portable server etc. straight from your phone. I even used that kind of setup as a portable laptop some time ago and it worked quite well.

What things did you do via chrooted linux on android devices? would be interesting to know if somebody maybe is still using it as some kind of laptop as I did.

    That's pretty awesome. A friend of mine made this happen with Ubuntu once :)

    Can you explain more exactly what and how you did this? And it works in a LG G3? Wtf!

    I also want to know, have a few phones laying around :)
    I sometimes run node bots using termux (works without rooting), but that's about it...

    Well there is an app on Google play https://play.google.com/store/apps/...

    This is awesome!

    @gitpush I highly advise against that app, it works 1% of devices imho, I used "linux deploy" instead: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...

    @Bitwise that's impressive, quite ironic that "unlimited" never actually is unlimited 🙄 what did you do with the evil AP after they connected?

    @JoshBent aha, never knew that, I honestly never actually used it but it once appeared in suggestions , I'll try this one now thank you

    @gitpush you're welcome, you can ask here if you have some problem, but heres some stuff already:

    - first configure via the button at the bottom the options you want, for example vnc (+ which DE you want) and ssh
    - then press install in the top right via the menu, let it run through
    - after you see "<<<deploy" its finished, press stop, confirm and start again
    - now you can connect via vnc to localhost and if your vnc app asks for a port, it defaults to desktop 0, so port: 5900 (the password is configured in the app, if you dont change it, just copy it there)
    - for ssh juicessh is pretty nice, just connect to localhost:22 with username "android" and enter the password the app provided you or you changed to
