GNURoot for Android
Sort of works if you don't mind never having cut-and-paste. Wheezy FS won't install on my Samsung tablet, but WheezyX does. Unfortunately, there's no active community of support for questions, and copy/paste to other Android apps seems to be entirely impossible -- no 3rd-party solutions, no built-in solution. So terrible hacks must be employed, like pushing text to pastebin onlin, etc. If some support were available this would be a really great thing, perhaps.
Wheezy rootfs is not created on LG G4 (Android 6). Installed the gnudebian, but in the gnuroot app nothing happens when trying to create rootfs, just a "It may taake some time..." for a short time.
I'm an avid Linux fan. I have built a similar app for my galaxy, but I had to many issues with it, but yours works like a dream. Thanks
When I clicked create new rootfs it processes but after it when in launch rootfs section it shows no roots yet.
unpackaging rootfs but nothing happens couldnt even install gnuroot wheezy and bot even a message from the dev im dissapointed
I only want this to run fldigi, but I can't get that working. Can you help?
This is an abandoned project. All images are outdated and no longer supported. Useless.
crashed everytime in nougat, i didn't even tested once.
It doesn't work...tell me how to gain FAKE root
Need upgrade! Nothing work on Android 6.0.1
This won't actually execute basic commands correctly like ping and nmap. Can you help?
Problem launching the fedora rootfs as fake root
A great app! How do I install yum for fedora? I'd like to get perl and python installed. Colin
It doesn't work on Android 6
App just crashing after loading
Can't create rootfs, only wheezy but nothing
OK, I tried to lunch fake root with wheezy but the app stored working .I tried couple time same result .. I'll try with Fedora and Debian and I will give you feedback if it's work or not ... I have HTC One M9 with nougat OS..hope you fix it soon as I hope to finally have Linux on my phone.
Cant create wheezy rootfs the dialogue disappears and i cant select a rootfs to launch :(
I have an S7 edge with marshmellow 6.0.1 on it. Will using wheezy still work with it? It's not bringing up any dialog when I try to install the rootfts thing
this far exceeded my expectations. non rooted tablet with an external keyboard can run amazing things like ipython-notebook, full vim 7.4 with all the crazy plugins. an excellent thing to get before a long flight.
Wont properly unpack the wheezy for rootfs launcher. Please help? Will 5 star if i can get my rs classic running
I am trying to create a wheezy rootfs on my Nexus 6P but the dialog box saying "unpacking a rootfs" just closes and nothing else happens.
You did it, you proved you are good. But I'm wondering how I can get live VNC session. Please help for 5
Whenever I try and launch a root it gives me the loading screen which eventually goes away but has achieved nothing. Could this be an issue with my phone? I have a Galaxy Note 5 btw. I am also running wheezy if that matters.
It spins a while then goes away. However, it still says I have no rootfs available.... This seems to be a problem with wheezy only . tried wheezyx and it works.
Installed Fedora 24 with LXDE without too much trouble. The app seems to exit unexpectedly after large dnf transactions occasionally, but other than that it seems stable and works well.
So, when I try it says gnuroot has stopped
Doesn't work.
I wanted to install aircrack on it
I only want this to run fldigi, but I can't get that working. Can you help?
On all distros.

Got to fedora bash shell in about 1 minute. This app has already achieved far more than I anticipated, whatever shortcomings I may encounter. Update. The novel use of ptrace is nothing short of amazing. I have a live distribution of Fedora which I've been maintaining in moving forward for years. It appears I'll be able to get to all of the command-line utility of that system without any issues
