Andronix 2.0.1 makes desktops work on more phones, and makes Firefox play video and sound.

Works on more phones

  • The installer checks what your phone's kernel and Termux can do, and applies the fixes that phone needs. andronix doctor shows what it found.
  • Kali (and other systemd 256+ distros) now install on kernels before 5.8. This covers many phones from 2018 to 2020.
  • An install that stopped part way finishes when you run andronix install <distro> again, even one started by 2.0.0.
  • Kernels before 4.8 (many Android 8 and 9 phones): the command line works. The installer now says clearly that desktops can't run there.

Desktop

  • Termux:X11 first: andronix desktop <distro> opens the desktop in the Termux:X11 app.
  • Fewer background processes, so Android 12+ stops the desktop less often ("signal 9").
  • Firefox plays video and sound on every distro: H.264, VP9, AAC, Opus and MP3. On andronix update, the video codecs are installed as well.
  • A fix for Firefox's pages going blank on some phones (Ubuntu's Firefox 156).
  • XFCE's Web Browser button opens Firefox. Wallpapers fit portrait screens.

App and downloads

  • The Andronix app is notified when an install finishes or fails.
  • Downloads resolve through the Andronix API first, and fall back to dl.andronix.app. Every download is checked against its sha256, Modded editions included.
  • A finished install deletes its download. andronix clean empties the download cache.
  • andronix remove <edition-id> --legacy removes a single Modded or Classic edition.
  • The installer never replaces itself with an older version.

Premium

  • Beta channel: andronix update --channel beta --token '<token from the app>'.
  • Early-access Modded editions for Premium and Modded Pass owners.

Install: curl -fsSL https://dl.andronix.app/get.sh | sh
