Here is how you can run Linux OS on your Android phone there are two apps that
you would need to install on your phone the first one is a VNC viewer app called
bVNC the second app that you would need to install is called userland the
userland app makes it a lot easier for you to download and setup the Linux
environment once both apps are installed open userland and you will be shown a
menu of different distributions that you can install on your device as well as
some other useful stuff select whichever distribution you want to install and you
will get a dialog box where you'll need to enter your username password and VNC
password just for demonstration purposes I'm going with user as my username and
pass as password and VNC password is just set to password however I do
recommend you guys to go with a stronger password once you select continue it
will ask you to select a connection type you can either go with SSH or VNC
VNC you will need if you need a graphical user interface so I'm going to
select that one once you have selected the connection types select continue
this will kick off the setup process and it can take a few hours for the process
to complete it really depends on how fast your internet connection is once
the files are downloaded it kicks off setting up the filesystem with the setup
process finished to get my distribution running all I need to do is tap on it
and there we go now I have Ubuntu running on my phone right now
I did try out a bunch of Linux commands and they seem to be working just fine on
my Ubuntu distribution the Linux distributions that come with userland
need to have a GUI setup done so if you're looking for a much more graphic
friendly user interface you can go either with lxde or xfce let me show you
what xfce looks like and as you can see it's a very graphic friendly user
interface and I do have the option to actually go landscapes I'm gonna do that
in for that I need to select fit to screen and then rotate my screen and
there we go so now I can see the full screen on my phone something to note
here is that the text comes really small so you will need to go in settings and
do some other changes as well depending on how big your phone screen is since
the phone does not come with a mouse or a keyboard you can actually use your
touchscreen as a mouse so here I just closed an app and I closed another one
and if I want to type what I need to do is select this keyboard option and then
I will be able to type whatever I want so let's say ABC so whatever I need to
do I can actually do that using the keyboard also the virtual keyboard has
the tab controlled super-alt shift escape and going up down the right left
which are not available in the virtual keyboard that comes on the Android phone
I hope you find this basic tutorial on installing Linux operating system on
your phone very useful if you have any questions do let me know through
comments and I'll be very happy to help goodbye
