What's new in v20.07.22

This app will download 220 Mb data, and will use 600 Mb of internal storage. Fixed another bug, which happens on Android 4.0 and 4.1

Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

This app will install Debian Buster with Xfce desktop environment. You do not need to root your device. You will need 1.2 Gb free on internal storage. A mouse or stylus is highly recommended. This app is NOT full Debian OS - it is a compatibility layer, based on PRoot, which allows you to run user-land Debian applications. Your phone is not rooted during installation. Running Wireshark or Aircrack-ng will fail, because they require root. This is not an official Debian.org release. To install packages (web browser for example), open Terminal and run commands: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install chromium You can check full list of packages in Synaptic package manager. Packages that work: synaptic gimp inkscape clementine chromium vlc mplayer audacity lmms In VLC and Audacity, select PulseAudio as audio output. To run Chromium, use command: chromium --disable-dev-shm-usage --no-sandbox Packages that fail to run: firefox-esr libreoffice konqueror kodi kdenlive blender, and anything that uses OpenGL.

Debian noroot APK: questions and answers

How much space does Debian noroot need?

The APK is 10.5 MB, and the app also needs 166.1 MB of extra data (OBB files). Leave about 187.1 MB free for the installation.

Is there a version of Debian noroot for older Android phones?

The current version needs Android 4.1 or later. Version 15.10.21 is the newest listed build that installs on Android 2.3 and later. It is an old build: apps that rely on online services may no longer connect when they are this old. Get version 15.10.21 · All versions

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Debian noroot APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. It is signed with the same certificate as the other version checked. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 1338ead896aa65f9ffd36b41befcb7b2.
