Comments on X Server for Android

★★★★☆ sorin.panca · Aug 17, 2012

Conflicting with Lap dock/Web top on Motorola phones X server conflicts with Motorola s Lap dock even when it is not started. (Since the path to X server precedes the path to Lap dock s own x server, X server is launched first on the HDMI connection.)

★★★★☆ A Google User · Apr 15, 2013

Works For those with port issues: x runs on 6000 by default. Port forwarding from an SSH session should use 6000 and use the command ‘export DISPLAY=localhost:0‘ as 0 is the starting point for x displays @ port 6000. Export display is not to the said port number but to the x display number where 0 is port 6000. Missing some render capabilities forces windows managers to fail, but seems like a good starting point for x on android!

★★★★★ shamus · Aug 7, 2012

Great start glad to see that x has been ported to android. Works great with connect bot. Sure there are a few bugs, but that's to be expected in an epic port like this can't wait to see this mature.

If you don't like having to configure VNC to run Linux from Termux on your phone, because you are a diehard Linux purist or an IT dunce, this is as easy as starting it and typing "export DISPLAY=:0" rather than trying to deal with connecting to a VNC for your mobile desktop Linux needs. The UI of the preliminary configuring of the server looks a little rough, but since your trying to set up another device's display, it could matter less what the blocky texr beforehand looks like.

Issue in running GUI based jar application Hey, I have launch and tested clock, xeyes and xterm GUI in the X-Server from my application, but not able to run a jar file having single button component, even not able to run other linux based GUI executables. Please help me out as soon as possible, give the information about it. Is there any alternate way to run it???

★★☆☆☆ A Google User · Feb 24, 2014

I appreciate the effort, but. . . I'm sort of baffled by all the praise. No apps I use display properly (maybe because I'm using a tablet, not a phone?) Gedit initially displays alright, but then menus and their respective text begin to disappear. I tried launching Nicotine (GTK-based Soul Seek client) and it was not centered on the screen and, like with Gedit, text was missing from many menus. I'm using CM9 on an HP Touchpad; the server is running Debian Squeeze over a 801.11n connection. It is very alpha at this stage.

★☆☆☆☆ Gabriel Eiseman · Jul 6, 2016

Can't get working I started this app and then ran "export DISPLAY=localhost:0; ssh -Y -v ..." on Termux on my phone, but I get an error that localhost is not listening on port 6000.
