• inferno-os tree was replaced with the repo Inferno-OS-bhgv. use:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/bhgv/Inferno-OS_Android

(if you need old inferno-os tree you may get it here )

for Android > v4.0 (api 14)

it is based on the last official sources from Vitanuova.

• Gui. for compatibility main gui app is wm/awm (it loads wm/awm after start). sources are in the /appl/awm and /appl/alib,
• Touch screen. Only single touches. Don't know where to use multitouches in the Inferno,
• Files. File-tree are stored in the /sdcard/Inferno folder (permission),
• Network. Both styx and the regular tcp connections (permission),

• Gui. Bigger icons, bigger keys on the keyboard, bigger captions on windows, some icons were changed (because of sizes),
• Display output. Because of Android. This way is a little experimental still and may be changed in the future.

• Was added support of .PNG and .SVG images. They may used now in the places where may be used .BIT images. For example as a parameter -bitmap of Tk controls calls.

• A possibility to resize .SVG or .PNG images in time of loading them by Tk. (bitmap :<new size>:<image-path>.svg-or-png)

• .TTF fonts (and maybe .T1 and other) is supported internally using embedded libfreetype. to use, specify them as subfonts in the font files,

• command line (in the format of the regular emu commang line). has restrictions (mostly in the graphic parameters and the jit). because of restrictions of the hardware. JIT compiler was buit for other kind of FPU

• /dev/audio and /dev/audioctl devices

first it should be mapped to /dev fs:

bind -b '#A' /dev

• • reading of /dev/audio will reads the phone's mic (44.1kHz, 16bit, stereo, raw wave without headers and compression). ex:

cat /dev/audio > snd.raw

• • writing to /dev/audio will outputs the data was written to phones speaker (44.1kHz, 16bit, stereo, raw wave without headers and compression). ex:

cat snd.raw > /dev/audio

• • /dev/audioctl supports now next commands (only writing to):
• • • load file <file path in the inferno's fs> - loads the specified file, but don't start to play,
• • • load uri <uri address of a stream to play> - loads the specified network stream, but don't start to play,
• • • unload file - unloads last loaded file and free used resources,
• • • unload uri - unloads last loaded network stream and free used resources,
• • • play file - play the loaded file,
• • • play uri - play the loaded uri,
• • • stop file - stop playing of the file,
• • • stop uri - stop playing of the network's stream,
• • • loop file or loop uri - loops playing of the file or the stream.

all sound streams: record, output of raw wave (/dev/audio), playing of a file and network stream use separate buffers and may work simultaneously.

ex:

echo load file /mp3/a_music.mp3 > /dev/audioctl
echo play file > /dev/audioctl

or

echo load uri http://ice1.somafm.com/dubstep-128-mp3 > /dev/audioctl
echo play uri > /dev/audioctl

(thanks to somafm.com network radio for provided demo net stream)

• 2nd and 3rd mouse buttons. they are emulated using multitouch possibilities.

point or select what you need with 1 finger, after tap somewhere with 1 or 2 more fingers. this will couse a click of 2nd or 3rd mouse button.

coordinates of the click is the coordinates of the first finger.

• copy/snarf - paste

copy-paste functionality is working now. but only with texts yet.

Inferno's copy paste buffer is separated from the Android copy-paste buffer. actually no way to copy-paste between Inferno and Android.

It is built under Windows. But if you are using Linux it is easy to build it under Linux. only a pair of changes. go to the "inferno-os" folder and rewrite "bld.bat" script to Linux style. also do not forget to configure to Linux tools by modifying "makeconfig" script and so on.

• Android Studio > v3.0
• Cmake plugin for Android Studio
• NDK

cd inferno-os
bld.bat

after the successful building of the inferno libs (./inferno-os/Android/arm/lib) open this project in the Android Studio and build apk.

install this apk on the android copy this inferno tree (./inferno-os) to android by the path /sdcard/Inferno.

run it
