linux-android

Turns an old Android phone into a Linux desktop or self-hosted smart home hub via Termux.

PlatformWebfree

This project provides setup scripts that turn an old Android phone into either a full Linux desktop environment or a self-hosted Home Assistant smart-home hub, using Termux with no rooting, extra PC, or cloud service required. It's aimed at hobbyists who want to repurpose spare hardware for everyday computing or home automation, with guidance for GPU-accelerated graphics where the phone's chipset supports it.
