Linux desktop on your phone...

Forum memnbers,
i don't know if my rants are pertinent to this thread. sorry
you want to use an iphone in a particular way by putting an APP on it
but you can't find that type of APP?........hmm
As regards Android i find some crazy powerful APPS for NON ROOTED phones
including SHIZUKU and then there are hundreds of other apps you can install & Run BECAUSE
YOU HAVE "SHIKUZU" installed .........an example would be "ShizuTools"
There are many many other powerful apps you can install and run becuase they find SHIZUKU
to enable SHIZUKU you just use the WIRELESS DEBUGER method and DEveloper mode.
Some things SHIZUTOOLS enables are , for example, a PANEL of independent VOLUME SLIDERS for each app you are currently running together ......which all produce sound
another feature of it is it lets you choose from ALL OF YOU APPS
which ones you want to share their audio with any others you select
who produce audio..............so all of those apps you choose will produce audio together
& you hear all of it at the same time...........then you can use the SLIDERS to mix it
Another feature is There is a floating window app......that will float any amount of floating
windows.... with an APP inside each window AT THE SAME TIME and SCREEN
and so on.......
i don't know how that stuff above may help your iphone issue but there is also
and android app that allows me to run any ios app on my android
is there a similar app for iphone that lets you run android apps?.....then you could run your android
versiom of SFTP on iphone
best wishes

yeah vince i think what you're describing sounds a lot like a "soft" jailbreak, which is probably too much effort, sorry.
Leee: My info is outdated, but first hand. Last I tried I found apple makes it deliberately hard to access your photo storage:
1) i tried using the internal file explorer and usb sticks with lightning adapter: didn't work.
2) i tried apps that serve as sshfs explorers: stalled, never finished copying.
3) finally, after apple released a samba mount feature in the main file explorer: photo copies still kept stalling and i never finished a proper sync
I heard from other people that for photos this is solved now by the opensource and self-hostable immich server (&app).

Thanks. Some how, all of that does not surprise me. I've at least -heard- of immich, but I haven't played around with it. Maybe now's the time to do so.

Hi forum
Have any of you tried the full support for a linux graphical desktop computer with
Full gpu and hardware acceleration in Android 16? (Debian with full apps repo)
It's a free feature in developer mode and simple to set up in a few minutes
You can then just beam the phone screen over to a large screen using free tools like "scrcpy"
Add there are other free tools that can do beaming over to a raw screen...no other
Computer is involved.... Just the phone and large screen
The Linux desktop appears to work real good from the phone....apps run smooth such as libre office
...I would say the performance is similar to a $300 Linux laptop but from any 35 dollar phone
I hope to try it.... Currently I just saw videos showing it
But Android 16 seems to have advanced a lot
I mean my no point would really be... Don't buy any new laptops or anything... Just a 35 bucks
Phone will get you great desktop graphical computing....
Thx

Ps... You use a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard .. Couple of bucks each...new
