Why arent you running a Linux chroot on your phone? Don't

>>61488442
Why do you give a fuck how others use their phones?

And fyi, no i don't want to do work on a 5 inch screen. I have standards.

>>61488442
What "actual work" do you do on it?

>>61488442
Shits painful, even on a tablet.

>>61488442
why haven't you killed yourself yet?
Don't you want to join your shit waifu in hell?

>>61488442
i might just wanna get this for my tablet

My fucking main machine running fedora broke after an update, and of course I had to submit a paper that day.
Got my otg dongle, plugged my keyboard into my phone and was able to not only type a 3 page report, I was also able to edit some images I needed in gimp.
I was also able to upload it using Firefox.

Sure it was a little painful but it was pretty amazing how well it ran. Only issue is that to get audio working you have to pipe it through SSH. Pretty annoying.


Overall a much more smooth experience compared to say an n900. I wonder why the PMP fags never mention it.

>>61488525
Everything is too small to use comfortably. I find Termux much easier to deal with, tbf.

>>61488564
You can zoom in and out with your vnc client

>>61488564
Outside of SSH termux is fucking useless though

>>61488563
Are you the same polish subhuman who was shitting /g/ with his market trash smartphone running linoox some time ago?
If you are please do this: >>61488512

Why would I want to work on my fucking phone?
I only use it for calling, texting, sometimes listening to music and twitter. I work on my laptop or workstation.

>I wonder why the Portable Media Player faggot, the same faggots who try to isolate their phones from everything but communication never mention this half assed method of running loonix on your phone
gee anon really makes your noggin do a joggin

>>61488442
Because I'll need a BT mouse/kb.
Because my phone does not support Miracast.
Because even if it did, I need some device to charge and Miracast at the same time (maybe Chromecast).

>>61488929
Fuck I meant palmtopfags. Calm the autism anon
>>61489441
A 50 cent otg cable with a USB hub should take care of all that

>>61488779
Huh? It'll do everything you could possibly expect from a mobile device. I guess commandline only isn't for everyone, though.

>>61489833
How do I get cmus running on termux?

Root + Termux is literally everything I need. Maybe if I encounter an obstacle that will make me unable to do what I want, then I'll install some distro via chroot, but it's highly unlikely, since I don't need DE or even X server for what I do.

>>61488442
Why would I need this? If I'm not at home, but need a computer, I'll just use a laptop. Chrooting from a phone is counter-intuitive.

>>61491111
So you can hack the NSA from your pocket.

>otg
wait do all phones work with this? how does it tell whether it is a charger or some device?

This is a tech website, it is home to tinkerers, and technology inclined users. If we do something, it's for the fun of doing it, it doesn't matter if we can do any """""actual work""""" using it.
If you want to bitch about "actual work", go somewhere else

>>61488442
Oh but I am OP, just like you. Except my phone's chroot is actual root, the whole system (Debian) lives inside a 2GB img file, which is mounted and unmounted when I want through two custom scripts that do everything (bind /dev etc)
It's 100% pure Debian, I have xfce4 installed, but it's just a novelty, with not much real use (since it's uncomfortable to use on such a small screen). I have installed everything I need, gcc, ffmpeg (for quick converts), ssh, openssl, telnet, netcat, etc

wrong.
The title might fool you into believing that this is a technology board, but in fact this is a consumerism board infected with gaymen kids and apple cucks that just wanna show of their new hardware

>>61491701
It works on my chinkmi note 3 so it should work on everything.

>>61491801
I'm using Linux deploy with a rooted phone
isn't that what you have, anon?

No, I first made an empty 2GB ext4 file using dd and mkfs.ext4. Then I mounted the image on my PC, and using debootstrap script, I installed a Debian Jessie system on it. Then I wrote two small scripts to mount and chroot, and unmount the img file. I copied the whole setup on my phone, then used the scripts to use the chroot.
I use an xserver application (Xserver XSDL) to use xfce4, as opposed to using VNC, because of the slightly better performance. I don't use the UI however because of bad performance from lack of hardware acceleration
I pass (bound) the Android's /dev to Debian, and f hence I can communicate with external devices as well

>pic related, I can even program my atmega8 right from my phone

>>61492703
Thats fucking cool. A lot more hassle than Linux deploy but I don't think mine can use external devices like that.
I would say its about equal to using a pi box, and Firefox with 360p jewtube works fine.

Have you gotten audio to run without tunneling?
My chroot works with xserver xsdl but I cant get CMUS to work on termux at all.

>>61491701
nah, it doesn't work with everything, especially on older devices. But it's easy to tell if it has OTG, just search for model name + otg. You can also buy an otg adapter for literally a couple of cents on aliexpress. Nowadays almost every manufactured phone has it, some cheap chinks don't though, ie. Bluboo Picasso doesn't have otg, but Doogee X5 has, even though these are based on the same SoC.

>If you want to bitch about "actual work", go somewhere else
Then why don't you ask OP why he posted that retarded actual work thing, my fellow "tinkerer"?

>>61488442
not really

>>61488442
>Don't you wanna do some actual work on it?
My phone is for shitposting while I'm at work
