Re: *Good* client for Android?

[Adonay Felipe Nogueira <adfeno@hyperbola.info>]

Best one that worked for me:

- Computer running:

  - Either as root or as normal user:

    - sshd with *only* key-based authentication.

  - As normal user:

    - GNU screen;

      - emacs --daemon && emacsclient -nw;

      - Detach from current session.

Now in cellphone:

  - Use SSH client to connect to computer as normal user;

  - Reattach to GNU screen session;

  - Now you have GNU Emacs and Org mode, and also GNU Screen if you do
    need to do some work outside GNU Emacs.

Also, with SSH, you have encryption. ;)
