# Manjaro Linux on Android
Install Manjaro on Android using Termux
## Get preinstalled xfce4 and vncserver Manjaro rootfs
Just download and proot into rootfs using Termux
View [manjaro-rootfs-arm64](https://github.com/krmanik/manjaro-fs-arm64)
## Note: Tigervnc 1.11.0 have issues running vncserver.
It is recommended to downgrade Tigervnc to 1.10.1. [View this for more](https://github.com/krmanik/Manjaro-Linux-on-Android/issues/5)
## Requirements
- Android device running arm64 architecture and minimum version of 7.0 Nougat.
- At least 5GB free storage space
- Termux
- A VNC viewer
## Quick Start
Copy this and paste it in termux and follow steps to install
```
pkg install -y wget proot pv pulseaudio && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/krmanik/Manjaro-Linux-on-Android/master/manjaro.sh && chmod +x manjaro.sh && ./manjaro.sh
```
## Install Manjaro cli only and install DE or WM manually
1. Install wget and get `manjaro.sh` script
```
pkg install -y wget proot pv pulseaudio
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/krmanik/Manjaro-Linux-on-Android/master/manjaro.sh
chmod +x manjaro.sh
./manjaro.sh
```
Note: Do not install `tigervnc` and desktop environment like `xfce4`, instead install it manually.
So, select `None` from Manjaro setup menu `None`, `xfce4`, `LxQt`, `Mate`, `i3`
2. Install DE or WM
a) If want to use xfce4 then install it
```
pacman -Sy xfce4
```
b) If want to use openbox then install it
```
pacman -Sy openbox
```
3. Install tigervnc
```
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AndronixApp/AndronixOrigin/master/Pacman/tigervnc-fix.sh
chmod +x tigervnc-fix.sh
./tigervnc-fix.sh
```
View tigervnc-fix.sh
```
pacman -S tar wget sed --noconfirm
pacman -U https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AndronixApp/AndronixOrigin/master/tigervnc-1.10.1-1-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz --noconfirm
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AndronixApp/AndronixOrigin/master/lib.tar.xz -o /usr/lib/a.tar.xz && tar xf /usr/lib/a.tar.xz -C /usr/lib
sed -i '27i IgnorePkg = tigervnc' /etc/pacman.conf
```
4. Now run DE or WM
a) DE
```
vncserver
export DISPLAY=:1
startxfce4 &
```
b) WM
```
vncserver
export DISPLAY=:1
openbox &
```
A laucher script can be created for running vncserver, export and xfce4 or openbox
5. Now customize as per requirements

./manjaro.sh
```

```
sudo pacman -S anki
```
It will install Anki 2.1.15-1
3. Type anki to run it
```
anki
```
Or by selecting it in desktop environment
### Demo
# Some tips
1. Change ```Picture Quality``` to ```High``` in VNC viewer android app
2. Change to lower resolution inside ```Manjaro Display Settings``` for small screen devices
3. Uninstall unused programs from Manjaro to get more storage space
4. Hacker Keyboard from Play store can be used
**5. ```vncserver``` may be re-run to view it in vncviewer**
Inside Manjaro console
```
vncserver -kill :1
```
```
vncserver
```
Then open VNC viewer android app to access it.
**6. Add script to ```.bashrc``` to run script at startup.**
Inside Manjaro terminal
```
cd ~
```
```
nano startup.sh
```
Add this to ```startup.sh```, To run anki at startup
```
anki
```
```CTRL + o``` and ```CTRL + x ``` to save and exit.
Add this to ```.bashrc```
```
nano .bashrc
```
Add ``` ./startup.sh ``` the end of ```.bashrc``` file
Again, ```CTRL + o``` and ```CTRL + x``` to write and exit.
*But opening terminal in Manjaro will again run that script.*
# Faq?
### Black screen on VNC viewer?
There are many solutions for that. But in some cases reinstalling desktop environment may solve the problems.
For example: xfce4, run this to install xfce4.
```
sudo pacman -S xfce4 xfce4-goodies
```
