Its almost worth doing just to have the real midnight commander to use in the shell.cygnus x-1 wrote:So, one very important thing you have to do with Android 4.3 and later, is to install an SELinux mode changer, and set it to permissive instead of enforced. This fixes the problem with writing to /etc/group and I was able to get andromize and andromize-lxde to install. Then installed java, unpacked TS, and amazingly it actually started! It doesn't seem to want to open a project though. It says "Loading Project" and just sits there.
As cool as it is that this works (sort of), it was way more effort than I wanted to go through to run TS. And it still doesn't really work. So for now I think I'm done messing with TS on Android. I'll check out MSDroid, and come back to TS when there is an official Android version. Or maybe I'll just pick up an old laptop on eBay and run a minimal Linux distro on it. Tablets are cool but it's also nice to have an actual keyboard.
I do appreciate you playing along for a bit though.

No problem, I'm doing it anyway playing with Android-x86, with the x86_64 kernel I can at least theoretically install a 64 bit distro and develop/debug sorta natively on android.
(I'm not a real developer but I could play one on TV )
Android Lolloipop supposedly will eventually allow a full -64 build, but 64 bit android apps/userland has little point AFAICT.
It does allow full hardware ustilization from the Linux side though, as well as java etc.
Thinkpads are pretty well supported, and they are built like... Thinkpads. i have two.
A good keyboard is a very nice feature, and the older X-series Thinkpads are about as good as it gets for laptop keyboards.
