ALDE, or "Android on Linux Desktop Environments", is an Android SDK layer for Linux desktop environments. It has the capability of running Android apps/games natively on Linux, which translates the native Bionic layer into glibc.
Now, it wouldn't be an Android port, when there is no possibility of running an
actual Android system. I will make that possibility that includes using the default
System image, which will do its jobs. No emulators / VMs involved, but within a
Window that will run a full Android system. Something that wine does its job at.
Since this project hasn't really been updated, and motivation for this project is gone, I have decided to archive this repository publicly too. Mainly because I don't want to remove something that could have been something huge, but in general, I also have other project, and this project has given me the idea that nothing is impossible, and writing things like K8s-CRCUTI (KVL - Kubernetes Virtualization Layer) and now an upcoming project, pushing ideas beyond my skill set is how I can expand my coding skills.
Therefore, I am archiving it for a better project. Trust me, I won't disappoint with the successor that I am thinking. If you want a hint on what this project could be, think of merging AOSP and Linux Desktop Environments together.
Now, I am not sure with the requirements, but these are my speculations on what the requirements could be that the systems (mainly from the Android sources) say:
- At least 2 GB of RAM available
- AMD Ryzen 3 3200G CPU or equivalent
- At least 3.6 GB of Storage (SSD)
Recommended specifications might be:
- 4 GB or more RAM available (depending on how much RAM you want to spare for the system)
- AMD Ryzen 7 5700G CPU or equivalent
- 4.5 GB of Storage space (NVMe)
