Go check them out...! 🔥

Custom user setup: https://github.com/Droidspaces/Droidspaces-rootfs-builder#desktop-templates-and-the-desktop-user

#Announcement

Available in the rootfs repo!

Give it a try.

Steps:

1. Download
2. Install with Termux-X11, GPU access if Turnip, otherwise VirGL), and PulseAudio enabled.
3. Start

Done.

PS: Add the DESKTOP_USER environment variable to specify a local user to boot the GUI as, instead of the root user.

Man, this is beautiful!

Do you guys like using something like this over XFCE ?

this runs on X11 too, very responsive compared to XFCE in my potato.

Artix Linux (Arch without Systemd) is now available in the rootfs repository.

This means users with older kernels (<= 5.4) can use it as a replacement for Arch Linux.

Droidspaces v6.5.5 has been released! 🎉

- feat(ui): dedicated Terminal settings page - font size, custom font picker with live preview, dark mode toggle, manual keyboard toggle, optional confirm before closing a tab
- feat(app): install a container rootfs to any directory, with filesystem capability probing for the chosen path
- feat(app): experimental 64-bit backend toggle for 32-bit userspaces, plus an update-available notice fed by the latest GitHub release
- fix: restart now honors every CLI flag exactly like start; command locks left over from a previous boot are treated as stale
- fix: prefer busybox consistently for loop mounts and image tooling; drop sparsemgr's mkfs fallback and loop path length check
- fix: fail closed in the ds_peer_in_pidns peer namespace guard
- fix(app): Reinstall Backend runs more than once, RAM chip survives 0MB, SELinux row no longer flashes "Checking" on launch, one shared AppStateViewModel across Home/Settings/Requirements
- refactor(ui): full design-system pass - one dialog shell, one SectionHeader, one type scale, unified radii and spacing, legacy colour constants and dead components deleted
- app: no more container name length limit, NixOS rootfs tarballs accepted, swipe-to-dismiss snackbars, UIJ permissions and battery exemption helper, IME activation for 12-key terminal input

Plus the usual round of translation updates, UI polish, and under-the-hood refactoring.

Anything that annoys you when using Droidspaces?

Anything that you would like Droidspaces to have except Wayland gimmicks that is truly universal?

If you are a beginner in Android kernels AND eager to learn how to cook your own kernel properly instead of paying/relying on someone, this guide is for you:

https://github.com/ravindu644/Android-Kernel-Tutorials

The tutorial has been updated with the latest tips, build scripts, and re-formatted markdown files.

This guide works for compiling both non-GKI kernels and GKI kernels out of the kernel root. It covers the basics that you need to become a "pro cooker"

Feel free to leave a star if it's useful for you 🎉
