The app supports ROOTED as well as NOROOTED devices.

Use your mobile as a Pocket PC !!

For Root Method:

The application creates a disk image on a flash card, mounts it and installs an OS distribution. Applications of the new system are run in a chroot environment and working together with the Android platform. All changes made on the device are reversible, i.e. the application and components can be removed completely. Installation of a distribution is done by downloading files from official mirrors online over the internet. The application requires superuser rights (ROOT).Installing a new operating system takes about 15 minutes. The recommended minimum size of a disk image is 1024 MB (with LXDE), and without a GUI - 512 MB.

Noroot Method:
Install MOBICONSOLE addon and then install the linux on a non-rooted phone.

User Reviews

  • This is a masterpiece 👏 there are some limitations, as you would expect from a mobile app trying to emulate a linux env without root access, on phones that weren't designed to run it. Overall its really well done. Fast, full-featured, good-looking, and allows easy management of multiple installations. I use one filesystem as a "daily driver" for programming projects and create & destroy others as needed to help make scripts for installing/building third-party projects or to attempt to recreate problems when I'm acting as tech support.
