Parted Magic USB Installer 0.5 (Android)

I changed how the app checks an ISO. It now takes any Parted Magic ISO that can start a computer, so new Parted Magic releases work without an app update. If an ISO can only start UEFI computers, the app says so and greys out the legacy BIOS option.

The APK is signed by Parted Magic LLC. The app is also on Google Play.

Parted Magic USB Installer 0.3 (Mac)

The USB installer now runs on Macs with Apple silicon and macOS 26.5 or later. It writes Parted Magic to a USB flash drive, like the Windows and Linux versions.

Parted Magic USB Installer 0.4 (Android)

After writing, the app ejects the USB drive so the phone does not write to it. In version 0.3, tapping the same drive again showed "the drive is not ready" with SCSI codes until you unplugged it and plugged it back in. I fixed that: version 0.4 loads the drive again by itself, so you can write it again right away. If a drive cannot be loaded, the app now asks you to unplug it and plug it back in.

Parted Magic USB Installer 0.3 (Android)

Parted Magic 26.10_4 and later start older PCs (BIOS) with GRUB instead of syslinux. I updated the installer for them: version 0.3 copies GRUB from the ISO onto the USB drive and checks it after writing. Older Parted Magic ISOs still get syslinux, as before.

The option now reads "Include legacy BIOS boot loader".

Parted Magic USB Installer 0.2 (Android)

I fixed a problem that could stop a write partway through. Android sometimes turns down a USB transfer for a moment when the phone is short of memory, for example while the screen is being recorded. Version 0.1 stopped the write with "cannot allocate memory". Version 0.2 waits, sends the transfer again in smaller pieces, and the write goes on.

The app also reads a drive only once at a time now. Before, changing the text size while the app was open could make it show "device or resource busy" when you picked the drive.

Parted Magic USB Installer 0.1 (Android)

This is the first release of the Android app.

Parted Magic USB Installer writes Parted Magic to a USB flash drive from an Android phone or tablet that can use USB drives. It is the same installer that comes in the Parted Magic ISO for Windows and Linux. It needs Android 8.0 or newer on a 64-bit ARM phone or tablet.

The stick it writes boots on BIOS and on UEFI with Secure Boot on, every file is checked after writing, and the stick stays writable so Save Session works. The write keeps going with the screen off.
