What's the big problem? Someone needs to write an X backend for the android system and then you should be able to run most libraries (compiled for x86) in a chroot or something.
- mappu 14y agoThe common approach today is to run X and a VNC server inside the chroot, then VNC into it from the android userland.
- tmzt 14y agoThere was a Java port of X posted here a few days ago, as well as a port of X.org that I did a couple of years ago. Complete source is here (http://github.com/tmzt/androix http://github.com/tmzt/androix) but building X can be somewhat tricky. I have also posted an apk here (http://db.tt/UkFlvNAm http://db.tt/UkFlvNAm) which has been tested on recent tablets (Galaxy Tab 2). I have run Abiword on this in an ARM chroot, though on much slower hardware (a T-Mobile G2).
