Guest sagarvaze Posted February 18, 2013 Report Posted February 18, 2013 Hi, I was thinking of buying the xolo x900, and wanted to know if its possible to run wine on a chrooted linux distro on it. I am using a debian chroot image with vnc on my existing phone. Obviously it can't run wine because it's ARM. Since the xolo is x86 and people have got chroot working, I was wondering if it could run wine (I don't see any reason for it to not). Has anyone tried it ? Seriously, if this phone can run desktop windows stuff using wine, I wouldn't think twice before buying it.Even ancient widows productivity apps (office 2000) are better than the android ones.
Guest Speculatrix Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 that's an interesting idea. I think if you had a big fast memory card to store the windows files, then there's a good chance you could fire up Wine apps inside a VNC session - android doesn't use X so you'd need the indirect frame buffer for wine. chances are graphical performance would be pretty dire!
Guest z720 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Posted May 7, 2013 Yes, it work perfectly with chroot ubuntu x86 with wine. :D
