Description

X Window System / X11 server for Android, complete and fully functional, with PulseAudio server included.
You may use it to stream applications from your Linux PC, or to launch Linux installed on your Android (installing Linux is done via separate app).

3D acceleration and OpenGL are not supported. If you're launching X clients from PC, you can install VirtualGL to use OpenGL.

Touch screen with two fingers to send right mouse button click, with three fingers to send middle button click. You can also press button on your stylus, or use Bluetooth mouse.
Swipe with two fingers to scroll documents.
Finger hover is supported on select devices. If you have Galaxy S4/Note 3 device, enable AirView in system settings to use it.

To invoke keyboard, press Back key. Non-English text input is not supported in terminal, but it works in GUI applications.

If you don't see Back key, swipe up from the bottom of the screen.

If you have hardware Menu key, it will send Ctrl-Z (Undo in most apps).

You can disable gyroscope in Mouse emulation → Advanced → Gyroscope.

You can enable portrait screen orientation and 24bpp color depth in Change device config → Video.

To set custom display number, go to Change device config → Command line parameters → change parameters to XSDL :123, press OK, where 123 is your display number. XSDL will listen on TCP port 6123. You may also pass other parameters to X server using this dialog.

To connect to the display manager on your PC, add parameter -query your.PC.IP.address to the Xserver command line, then configure your display manager.

If you have XDM, you will need to remove a line starting with :0 from /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers , add * to /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess , and set DisplayManager*authorize: false in /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config , to disable local X server and allow connections from external IP addresses.

If you want SHM extension to work in Linux chroot - download file libandroid-shmem.so from here:
https://github.com/pelya/cuntubuntu/tree/master/dist
copy it to chroot, set executable flag, and execute this in chroot before other commands:

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.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

3 ★Its an ok x11 server. It gets the job done, but its a bit annoying to configure stuff like resolution and dpi.
1 ★asks for font download, then loops asking for resolution and never starts an X11 server that can be connected to
5 ★A great and simple way to interact with your DE or certain games in a different room.
1 ★doesn't work with android 9. Continuously restarts without any indication why.
1 ★Firefox is extremely slow while vlc crashes instantly with segfault. Touch controls would be nice instead of the tiny cursor.
5 ★This app does everything I need it to do to run my linux apps. This app was used in conjunction with the Termux app and openssh.
5 ★Fantastic! very easy to setup and work with Termux seamlessly.
5 ★Works pretty awesome! I definitely suggesting this app to people looking for x11 solutions.
1 ★Doesn't work. Infinite restart to me too, as with many other ones.
1 ★Used to work before, but constantly restarts everytime it starts.
4 ★Good app, sound is working from pulseaudio, but mouse isn't smooth
1 ★Stays active even after exit and remove from tasks, need to force close from app list !
