[Q] is it possible to port the houdini chess engine on android??

i just want to know if its possible to port the houdini chess engine for android..
if yes could somebody help me in porting it... and is it possible to use the droidfish gui for the houdini engine??
i have attached the chess engine to this post..

Sure it works, you just need the source code from the engine and compile it for android. But houdini is closed source, so you need to ask its author to compile it. There are already gui apps for uci engines, I don't know if droidfish supports it.

I asked him about it. This is his answer:

Dear ...,
There currently are no plans for an Android compile, I’ll look into that after the Houdini 2 release.

Search for java devs

I search java developers who will help me with an app for in my nice rom.
It gets ICS (icecreamsandwich) the newest android version 4.0.
I am already busy with it but cannot fully develop it now because hackers has hacked the android repositories ...
So if you like it to have on the release day of ICS it on your device, you can help with develop CM7, because it is based on AOSP and my newest ROM also
Btw it is for a settings app like in cyanogenmod.

I know a Java developer. I am trying to contact him. He is a bit young, but, I think he may help you! I will try to get him ASAP!

Hello, I am a Java developer. I work with netbeans and swing platform but I have never done android Programming. If my skills are ok then I am willing to learn android programming also. but has google released SDK and development platform for ICS? I dont see in the it in the site?? or development platform is also leaked???

Thank you.
We get a nice team.
I have also managed to get A PRO KERNEL DEVELOPER .
I am good in average things, such make the rom build system, make the kernel.
Not that really code writing xD

I am being trained in Java (J2EE). I can try to do my bit. I am a noob in Java also

Compiling Bochs for android

HI guys! I need help with compiling Bochs for android, Bochs is a virtual machine that emulates diffrent Operating systems on android such as windows 98,XP and many others!
Korv2003 compiled bochs 2.5.1 for android back in 2008 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389700
but no one has compiled it since then and we are not getting any new versions out. Me and alot more would be extremely glad if someone that knows how to compile these files could compile the new Bochs versions 2.6.1 and beyond, for android!
The newer versions are both faster and have more features! So please anyone that knows how to do this help out !

Bump

it seems that no one is interested in this project. i'd love to see any new version because the 2.5.1 out there is really out of date and slow as hell. i've read that newer versions are speed up to 50%. i can't understand why no1 tries to port version 2.6.6 to android.

I can take a crack at it. I'm not a pro at porting apps. I just recently learned how so don't hold your breath. I will give it the ol' college try though

Did you manage to do it?

Hopefully someone will post the latest version..
It's already been done. Check here, you can compile it yourself. There's a build file for each operating system and instructions for android in the Android folder. Not my work, just a lucky find. https://github.com/lubomyr/bochs?files=1

tried this version (russian), but you can try use google translate.
in russian 4pda. ru there is detailed manual for 2.6.8 .
just search BOCHS для Android, Эмулятор Pentium PC для Андроид

[Q] Kali Linux possibal on Canvas 2?

hello people, just checking new backtrack versions out there n came to this new rebuild of it called Kali Linux. it is already out for Arm devices. Do u guys think that it can be ported to canvas 2? Anybody want to take initiative? Am not so familiar with Arm architecture. For more information posting a link here. http://www.kali.org/downloads/#

some more info

i think native install will be difficult. but it is possible to run the ARM version on the ROM. it becomes painfully slow as the RAM available for KALI is around 150MB or so

kali linux runs on raspberry pi natively, with only 700mhz processor arm v6 and 512 mb ram. so it will run much better on a110 IMO. the link you provided, am not getting the correct idea does it directly boot the linux or through x server and vnc ?

IIRC, the booting sequence of RPi is different from that of our device. as of now, i am sure it is difficult for native install. the link i provided is through VNC
if there is a way to boot Kali directly, that will be pretty awesome.

How to install LineageOS on Limbo ARM emulator?

Hello, how to install LineageOS on Limbo ARM emulator?
I want to do some development work that needs rooted Android system compiled with ARM instruction sets. I have used several Android emulators on Android, but they all have various problems.
I don't want to use Android x86, because it is incompatible with ARM apps and will cause great performance loss.
I do not intend to root my smartphone, because I do not want to expose my smartphone to danger.

try finding a iso for it!
or tutorial for it?

I have searched for it in the web, but there are no ISOs or tutorials for it.

there is lineage os 14.1 x86 builds. or other android versions too! but i dont think they will work on the arm version. i used to use boschs back in the day with my old tab. i havent used emulators since. you could give it a try. just search android x86 on google. i remember there used to be versions of limbo that emulated x86. anywho hope it works

Running a custom Android OS ( here: Lineage OS ) in an Android based emulator like Limbo requires you need to install an Android version with a KVM enabled Kernel.

it maybe possible since android x86 iso's are availble. including lineage os 14.1

Perhaps the LineageOS development team should make installers for Limbo ARM or other ARM emulators.

i dont know. maybe you could try gsi's? using dsu sideloader? go search it up. the sucess rate on locked bootloaders and non rooted devices is very low but its worth a try.
IF YOU VOID YOUR WARRANTY SOMEHOW dont blame me please... alr got alot going on in my life rn

Thank you for your help. It seems that I have to abandon this idea currently.
By the way, Limbo x86 emulator runs as slow as a PC in 1995 on my device. (I'm using MediaTek Dimensity 810 @ 2.4 GHz with 8GB RAM.)

yeah its super slow. better abandon this. and lineage os 14.1 native bridge never worked for me. meaning that some apps wont work at all e.g. some games and will crash.

According to my research, the performance of a virtual machine in Limbo x86 emulator is equivalent to about 4.12% of the physical ARM smartphone's performance.
I said that:"I have used several Android emulators on Android.", these emulators don't have performance problems on my smartphone. These emulators are:
VMOS / VMOS Pro - You need to pay to become a member to use rooted virtual machines. Its theory is similar to Anbox.(Off Topic: Perhaps the Anbox development team can make an installer for Android.)
VPhoneGAGA - You need to pay to become a member or watch advertisements to use rooted virtual machines. Its virtual machines contains advertisements unless you are a member. The theory of this software is to rewrite linux's C functions.
F1 VM / X8 Sandbox- You need to pay to become a member to use rooted virtual machines.
V8 Box - It's free and ad-free. It provides rooted virtual machines for free. But at present, this software only supports Android 5.1. This software is only available in Chinese.
