Octave
Free AppAbout Octave
This is launches Octave for Android. Octave is like Matlab (trademark of Mathworks), but free (as in freedom) software. Not some similar program, but really Octave running natively.
The app is now free (as in $) to use, but a donation is appreciated to keep things going.
You are required to get the Octave Main Package (com.octave.main) to use this.
You are required to get the Octave Gnuplot Package (com.octave.gnuplot) to support plotting.
There are many additional packages (com.octave.*) for use.
This is a different sort of app. Unpacking the executable and other files necessary for Octave to run will take awhile when you install or upgrade this, but will be worth it. Whether this is installed to the sdcard or to internal storage, the executables and libraries will take up around 100MB of internal storage either way.
You can add .m files and a .octaverc startup file in an external storage directory setup for you. Often at /sdcard/GNUOctave/home.
Your latest plots (.png files) can be found in an external storage directory setup for you. Often at /sdcard/GNUOctave/intents.
You will be running in a fake chroot of sorts which includes Octave and many of the programs you expect to find in a standard GNU/Linux (read Debian) install. The fake chroot is split between your external/shared partition (often /sdcard) and your internal (/data/data/com.octave) to save space.
Plot commands and edit commands fire off intents to use whatever image viewer or text editor you have.

App History & Updates
What's Changed
Direct people to a new version of Octave com.gnuroot.octave . It will require you to install and setup GNURoot Debian. It will take up more storage, but combined with GNURoot Debian, you will have a fully functional and expandable Linux distro. It works with the latest versions of Android (this doesn't). It does not nag for donation (this did). It is fully open source (this isn't).

Return key missing most of the time and I have either a "Done" or "Search" key in place of the return key which makes the app useless.

Works like a charm! Just annoying that now it opens a pop up for you to install the other version, which fails to install! TIP: For those getting started, use Total File Commander to create scripts (it has a text editor and allows creating .m files). Place the script in GNUOctave/home/, open octave and type "run example.m"

I tried this app but it is not working after downloading x86 GNU Package it stuck in loading screen of Octave. It says 'It may take a while to set up'. After 6 hours it remains stuck at same place. Please fix it.

I just wish it didn't ask me every time to try the GNURoot version, that pop-up is so incredibly annoying and it's the main reason why I'm giving it a 2-star rating. GNURoot is buggy and most of the times installation fails.

I use it on daily basis. Thank you! Please don't enforce upon us the GNUroot version of octavebbefore GNUroot is in a much better shape.

This works much better than the GNURoot version, but the preliminary nagging can't be stopped. So I'm removing this, and I'll do without Octave on Android.

I haven't been able to use this app since installing it. Initially it kept giving a popup asking for a donation, which when I say 'Maybe Later' to would cause the window to close. I thought a donation was mandatory and actually paid the donation amount. Now the app closes at startup again as before, only now it doesn't show the donation popup. Very disappointed to say the least.

Works perfectly, and thus far has handled everything I've thrown at it!! People complaining about plotting not working should also install the Gnuplot package.
by N####:
This app keeps telling me that setting up will take a while but it's been almost 3 days and it still says the same thing. Other friends have installed it in less than 5 mins. What the hell is wrong? Is it possible that the app is not compatible with my phone?
