LeafTook a little bit of time to write a small blog post about my progress with running Linux VM on an Android phone.
So, I bought a $100 Pixel 7 Pro with a broken screen with the express purpose of running Linux on it.
Android has that fancy new experimental Linux terminal feature, but it turns out the library/program that uses actually came out in Android 13, crosvm.
The advantage of using crosvm (with the phone rooted) is that I can give the VM way more memory than the default Android version gets, I imagine more access to the CPU's too!
Currently, I have Ubuntu booting in the VM and I can use the terminal just fine. What I am having issues with is getting network. I have not tried very much though as I had to stop just after I got it booting.
I did mean to bring it in to work today so I could tinker on my down time, but I got almost all the way to work and then realized I left the phone at home 🙃
HabrЗапуск Linux на устройствах Android без поддержки AVF
В этой статье я поделюсь своим опытом запуска Linux на рутованом non-Pixel телефоне с Android 15 (также работает с Android 14 с ядром 6.1) c помощью Crosvm, без поддержки AVF. С доступом в Интернет, SSH, GUI и общим каталогом. Мой телефон Xiaomi.
HoldMyTypeInstead of implementing the #VMM components from scratch, Cloud Hypervisor is importing the Rust VMM crates, and sharing code and architecture together with other VMMs like e.g. Amazon's #Firecracker and Google's #crosvm .

Alex@gameplayer I don't think it will ever be directly accessible to users but the user-space #crosvm should be on the rootfs. If you watch Will's talk from #kvmforum2024 you can see how things are launched in his live demo at the end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Hdq9npRMeI&list=PLW3ep1uCIRfwqKJYHxXsjIvG-Jy3nO2si&index=15

App and OS Virtualization in Rust using crosvm
While QEMU is still the leading choice for an open source VMM (Virtual Machine Manager), a rust alternative could be great for security and we wanted to give it a shot. We are now able to virtualize GUI apps and OS in linux by modifying crosvm, a fantastic rust based
CollaboraRecently, we have been using #Perfetto to successfully profile Apitrace traces in #crosvm through #VirGL renderer. The tools provided by Perfetto can be very effective for profiling virtualised GPU acceleration.
