Description

Are you a Linux/open-source enthusiast? Whether you are or not, if it seems cool to be able to have the Linux desktop on your Android device, then this app is what you're looking for. Currently there is a choice between the Unity desktop, elementary OS' Pantheon desktop, and Gnome. Missing your desktop of choice? Get in touch and if there's enough interest I might just add it 😉

Features include a couple of different themes, a search feature which allows you to search from a multitude of different search sources (both local and remote), and customisation options.

If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to get in touch. The project is open-source with the source code publicly available at https://github.com/RobinJ1995/DistroHopper. If you're less technically-inclined but would still like to contribute, you can join the project's translation team over at https://www.transifex.com/distrohopper/.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew

5 ★This is just like a small size version of linux on android
5 ★Will you add icon pack support?
5 ★Is the best launcher.
4 ★Very nice but needs customizations like hiding apps or grouping apps in the app drawer
5 ★Linux is ??????
3 ★Needs work
5 ★living LINUX
3 ★It's a good copy of Linux DEs for Android, but everything is very fixed. Iused the gnome 3 display and would have liked the ability to move my launchbar to a different border of my phone for ease of access with one hand. Itwould also be nice to be able to stack apps to make folders on the launchbar. I know somebody else mentored the widget issue and that is a problem,though minor. In all, it's got good potential, but it needs a bit of finalpolish for full launcher functionality
5 ★I was using Ubuntu launcher 0.5.12 from 3 years (time to time) and i kinda loved that one I just found this one and its great too but some features are missing lIke transparency and if its possible add icon support that will make it awesome 👌 Thanks for your Great work tho 👌
3 ★It's fine for a short while and as a novelty, but it's missing key features (widgets, folders, etc) that I need in a launcher. If you're looking for something cool to look at it's great, but as a launcher it's lacking.
4 ★I really enjoying this app Elementary OS I really enjoy that cuz that's what I use on my laptop as a Linux distro thanks so much for the app I hope you got more soon like Linux Mint but for now I'll be rocking this on my cell phone Elementary OS
4 ★Like it a lot, making it able to use faenza icons it'll be a awesome touch, also a KDE desktop.
