Awesome, so simple, install linux, run vault, done. I was expecting more hacks. Great job.

Right? All we need is an APK now!

rustup allows that. We have not progressed it yet (see the CEP thread though). Rustup is looking to make APK cross compile much simpler now. So they are doing a lot of the work for us to use here. It’s looking very positive there.

Wait, so I am confused…this is NOT a vault running on the android operating system, it is vault running on a linux distro (not android) installed on an ARM device, correct??..

The arm device is an android phone…

Okay, let’s dig into this a little bit if you don’t mind. We’ve been trying to make a Linux Kernel Mainline build of Android for exactly this and related purposes. Mind if I ask a crap-ton of diagnostic questions now?

  • What ROM were you using?
  • What is the version of Linux used by that ROM?
  • Phone is a Nexus 6?
  • What do you think about the “Linux Mainline Android” concept? With over a billion android devices out there, and many of them sitting in some desk drawer somewhere because they’re “too old” we are working hard to try and find a reliable and portable way to get Mainline running on Android devices generally. Due to the driver situation, this is waaaay easier said than done and I’ve gone back to the drawing board a number of times.
