Use an app to manage the desktop rootfs #99
Comments
It should be possible to make it a package and be installable using dpkg. A minimal version of dpkg can be provided w/ busybox. (Debian has such a busybox variant). |
I think UserLAnd does it, although for a different purpose (of running them in fake root)... |
@pdsouza Samsung’s Kills Off Its Ace ‘Linux on DeX’ Project, maybe we can speed up the progress of developing an app to manage desktop rootfs to attract users, is interested in |
Hey ! Did someone started working on this ? I'm willing to continue the work |
@pdsouza, I found an very interesting project, called android-xserver, and it can run an x-server in Android based on its view subsystem. In another word, maybe we can use an application to run x-server in Android, and Linux draws content to it based on local area network. |
there's a lot vnc app out there...which more sophisticated solution. I fonud this project more fancy,It's using adb. |
@SuJiKiNen vnc can be candidate choice for it, but |
@utzcoz Very interesting. So we could run |
as yon can see the just need a middle tiny gadget which run a adb server and transform things into HDMI buffer.I think there is already something like this had implemented,but need to install specific app on phone,which is not ideal,and may not have a way to talk to mclient currently. |
Sigh. That is unfortunate... It looks like the entire thing is written in the Java layer. Maybe it would be better if implemented as native C/C++? It's hard to know exactly why it is slow without more detailed profiling I think. What would be cool is if mclient could link against the SurfaceFlinger APIs directly, which would eliminate the need for the copy between mclient and mflinger. This seems like something libhybris might make possible by allowing bionic libs to run under glibc/Linux. Unfortunately, the libhybris docs are practically non-existent. |
Let's use an app to manage the desktop rootfs rather than shipping the rootfs directly on the system partition.
Why?
/system
partition can still be supportedThe text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
