APK Linux
Free AppAbout APK Linux
This is an embedded Linux distribution for ARM-based Android 4.03+ devices. It is meant to be used as a bare-bones Linux distribution with all the potential functionality of a full desktop. The objective is to make it easily distributed without the need to root your device.
This app is meant for the power user, and is still experimental. In order to use it, you must have ConnectBot (or any other Telent client) installed on your device. Once downloaded and installed, simply press the APK Linux icon and the program will copy the distribution files onto your device and connect via Telnet. Altneratively, you may connect from your desktop using "adb" TCP forwarding on port 9000 and then telneting to localhost. To kill the application completely, open the terminal and type the command "pkill cmer".
To learn more and find tutorials on how to build your own Linux distribution for Android, please visit http://cmer.uoguelph.ca/apklinux and follow the instructions. Please email any feedback and bug reports to: cmer@uoguelph.ca

The GCC toolchain is now included! It has been tested and can compile applications such as ssh and make. For instructions on how to compile apps, read 'compiling.txt' in the home folder of APK Linux. Included is a script (fix.config) that will allow 'configure' script to run properly on the device.

It can only be used to issue a number of general commands kind of. It needs a way to install modules and programs

Played around with it and it's a great concept. I haven't found a use for it yet that I can't already do in my rooted custom bash shell but I'll keep playing with it and see. It did not accept any su commands and it takes a little bit to get the screen size right but it is definitely a step in the right direction. 5 stars for concept and easy implementation.
