Language is a tool for efficient communication. The internet is a tool for fast communication. Do not defy both intents by posting incoherent writing.

Leviathan (2015-02-14 19:34:52)Yes, of course. I've been testing a lot of them out. -Nutsy
I'm an open book, there are few questions I won't answer honestly, no matter how embarrassing.
Nutsy (2015-02-14 19:57:04)Alright. I might try this out then.

Nutsy (2015-02-14 20:06:50)Sure. I don't use Linux normally, so I don't know what I'd even do with it.

However, one thing. If you decide you font need the app, don't uninstall it. A bug in android has made it, to wear you'll never be able to install it again.

Nutsy (2015-02-14 23:38:38)I'm not doing it because I don't know what to do with Linux.

Leviathan (2015-02-15 00:58:46)Spector, this has nothing to do with coding. Its downloading and installing an app, and executing a command.
Also, if you guys don't like it, I don't see the need for hostility..

Spector (2015-02-15 01:01:14)Says the always hostile asshat.
No one needs to know this. And I'm pretty sure no one cares, so um. close/delete/move plz

This is a tutorial on how to fully install a working desktop OS on your android device without uninstalling the android os.
Its fairly simple really. Just go into the play store, and search for "Gimp". The first result should be "Gimp/Inkscape". Download it, run it, and go through the installation process. This app was originally created to port gimp to mobile using an XFCE Linux distribution. But can be tweaked to be a fully functional computer.
When the installation process is complete, you should be viewing the photo editing software, GIMP. You can use the gyroscope for precision movement of the mouse, swipe to move the mouse faster, single tap to click, and click with two fingers to right-click. Close every window on the screen. On the edge of the screen is a toolbar. Click the "Menu" button, click "Settings", click "Session and startup", click "Application Auto start", click "Gimp", and click "Remove". This will make it to where Gimp won't automatically start every time you log in. Click "Close", then restart the app.
If you didn't before, now you see icons on the desktop. We are.looking for "Root Terminal". Double tap with the mouse over it, and you will get a screen with a green line of text. Let's call this text the CPUline. Type the following:
Apt-get update
Then type:
Apt-get upgrade
On these, you may be asked if you want to continue. Make sure you type a Y when it aks you.
After the files are downloaded, you will see the CPUline from before. If you don't see it, that means its not done
So don't do anything until you see it again.
After you see the CPUline again, type the following.
Apt-get install synaptic
And accept and wait for it to download. Once the CPUline appears again, one of the applications on your desktop should have changed. This is the 'App store's of your computer. Its where you install programs.
Before you start toying with your new computer, you need to enable the web browser. The one that your computer already has will crash when you open it. So let's get a working one. Open the root terminal again, and when you see the CPUline, type the following:
Apt-get install epiphany-browser
And confirm and wait for it to download. After you see the CPUline again, go back into the Menu, click 'settings', click "preferred applications", click the drop down box under "web browser", select "Epiphany web browser", and close the window. Then click Menu, click internet, and click on epiphany, and you should see a working web browser.
Congratulations, you now are able to play Linux games and applications on your smartphone or tablet. There is much more you can do with this, including run windows applications. If you need any help or advice, or want to do more with it, feel free to comment.
Have fun.
