Subject: Re: Full org-mode on unrooted Android
Date: Wed, 9 Oct 2013 08:57:22 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAGOCFPW40_b4L0tWyvpiETb+a3LqY-zQ2gwmphQ4qeuQa=qdQA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <52550EAB.4060406@wilkesley.net>

There is also emacs for Android
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zielm.emacs but
after trying it and playing with some other ports of unix
applications, I decided to bit the bullet and install full Ubuntu on
my Galaxy Note 8 using
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid.
The tablet/phone needs to be rooted though (the installer needs to be
able to create and mount loopback device for the Linux disk image) but
for the popular devices it is not difficult at all (but You will
probably lose your warranty though).

Now I have my regular emacs setup with org-mode, ess, AucTeX, tramp,
etc, and all the tools I am used to - ssh, R, gcc, etc. I use it in
console mode using Android terminal, regular Ubuntu GUI is also
available through VNC client. There is no dual-boot or virtualization
involved, all it does is chroot in the terminal session, Android's
Linux kernel is standard enough to make Ubuntu happy.

Regards,
Alex
