FluxLinux v2.0.0 Release Notes

1. Embedded host (no external Termux)

FluxLinux now ships its own Termux-prefix host inside the app. External Termux and Termux:X11 APKs are no longer required.

  • Host bootstrap (bash, proot, Pulse) for com.ivarna.fluxlinux
  • First-run host setup with F-Droid opt-in consent
  • Settings → Legacy Termux for leftover PRoot trees still living in the old Termux app (≤ v1.8.0)

2. Embedded X11

The X11 display is the in-app Termux:X11 activity. libXlorie.so is compiled from source (NDK 29 + CMake, vendored lorie tree + 16 submodules).

  • Java LorieView matches the native per-instance JNI (nativeInit()J) so the display opens without crashing

3. Multi-distro catalog

Twelve guests, PRoot and Chroot, downloaded on demand from the GitHub rootfs release (SHA256-gated). Nothing is baked into the APK.

  • Debian, Alpine, Fedora, Void, openSUSE, Deepin, Chimera, Manjaro, Ubuntu, Kali, Parrot, Arch Linux
  • Settings → PRoot / Chroot storage: list, size, stop
  • Universal guest login shell (bash / zsh)

4. Host PulseAudio

Pulse runs as the Android app uid (no root). Guests are TCP clients on 127.0.0.1 only.

  • AAudio sink with SLES fallback
  • W^X-safe exec of libpulseaudio.so / libpactl.so from nativeLibraryDir (targetSdk 36)

5. Chroot without a BusyBox NDK module

Chroot uses Magisk / KernelSU / APatch BusyBox already on the device.

  • Fedora chroot flux login via staged setuidgid (Android busybox has no chroot --userspec)

6. F-Droid 2.0.0 recipe

  • Flavor ivarna only (gradle: [ivarna])
  • libXlorie.so built on buildserver-trixie; host W^X bins stay documented Termux-docker prebuilts + scanignore
  • Lint and scanner green; assembleIvarnaRelease proven on the F-Droid image

Migration Notes

External Termux is optional. Distro rootfs is no longer in the APK — first install of a distro downloads it from the rootfs tag (opt-in). Leftover v1.8.0 containers in Termux are managed from Settings → Legacy Termux.

Known Issues

  • Optional guest stacks (Kali/Parrot extras, SDK/NDK zips) may be flagged NonFreeAdd / TetheredNet on F-Droid. Disclose, do not hide.
