Can ASF be run on Android?

[b2007929]

I could dedicate my phone for running ASF, performance and battery impacts must be low and don't really matter. Can ASF be used in Termux[termux.com] or do the differences between Android and Linux distributions[wiki.termux.com] complicate the installation greatly?

Why do I keep getting 'No such file or directory' when trying to execute binary (it's file exists) ?

This happens when you are executing binary compiled for Linux distribution, e.g. Ubuntu or Arch Linux. This is caused by ABI difference between GNU libc and Bionic libc.

Create a proper chroot (proot) environment and try to execute binary from it.

So far my attempts have failed, I get "permission denied" and "operation not permitted" errors for basic file-management tasks (create a subfolder for ASF instead of running it in the Termux home folder, which would delete all additional data).

I want to preface this by saying that I have no experience running ASF on Android, and further I have no experience with Termux. I can't claim any libability for anything that goes wrong by following my advice since it's completely untested and given based on opinion of what I've read and/or heard from others.

I would imagine it *should* be possible. I know someone who ran it on Android using a Debian emulator before.

I would personally try this. Also ensure you're using the the linux-arm release. I would imagine that in this specific situation it would wind up similar to RaPy.

It's not supported in any way, but should be possible in chrooted linux environmment on android (simple termux won't do). You can try something like "linux deploy" app from the store to install linux alongside with android on your phone. But, same as aboove, I didn't tried it myself.
But honestly, I believe this is terrible idea, unless it's some spare phone that you plan to leave connected to charger and wifi forever.

You can achieve that with Linux chroot, assuming you have root privileges and your Linux kernel supports all required functionalities, Ryzhe above suggested one way to do that.

You can't achieve that with normal Android because Android is NOT GNU/Linux, and ASF requires GNU/Linux to run its linux version. Maybe you can somehow through magical way install .NET Core runtime on your android, if yes, then you can also run generic build, if not, then you need proper GNU/Linux chroot that ASF OS-specific build is compatible with.

If u want farm cards on android, use Idle Daddy. I have this on my phone.

Idle daddy doesn't offer even 10% of features that ASF does, if user asks for ASF on Android then he most likely wants to use full ASF feature-set, not just some crap idler. Otherwise you could just use python/nodejs and any script wrote in 10 minutes if idling was everything you wanted.

I hope that you can create a wiki page for Idle Daddy > ASF comparison as these recommendations are so common.

Do we really need a comparison? Ok, here is the one (but it does not deserve a wiki page if you ask me):

 
Supported os:  ||  Idle Daddy || ASF
-------------------------------------
Android        ||      V      ||  X
GNU/Linux      ||      X      ||  V
Windows        ||      X      ||  V
OS X           ||      X      ||  V

I'm developing ASF here, not comparing programs. I already said above that ID doesn't offer even 10% of ASF features, if you expect me to waste time over re-iterating whole wiki for you and saying how ID "doesn't have this" then you can as well do it yourself. And if you couldn't care less what the program offers then you can as well use idle daddy, since ASF expects effort from you that you're not willing to do.

I didn't ask any work for me. I know that Idle Daddy can idle games, apparently complete seasonal events and nothing more. I was hoping for an official ASF wiki page to be used as a reputable source for all "just use Idle Daddy" responses.

You may use my post above as a reputable source. Comparison there is precise.

People that are not interested enough to check out at least the FAQ won't read your comparison either, and everybody with a brain is using ASF already, together with all the features that ID doesn't have. ASF's wiki is for ASF documentation, not similar programs comparison.

It seems to be possible without root if you use Termux, then create your own repository with termux-apt-repo to be able to install the ASF from the command line emulator.
ASF seems to be command line based so fingers crossed it's possible with a simple linux terminal emulator?

I'm looking into it but I'm a novice and I don't think I'll get through (I don't even know what linux version of ASF to use), it, but if someone happen to make it, this would be amazing to share it ^^ (If by miracle I do, I will share it but again, highly unlikely)

Termux cannot add what is not present in the underlying system, which is GNU in this case.
That's why chroot is needed here.

Thank you, you saved me a lot of time and frustration :)
