GIMP for Android
Hi.
I've updated my GIMP for Android app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.gimp.inkscape
It's still the same kind-of-emulation, but has improved X server, with 24bpp color depth, multiple resolutions, magnifying glass for touch input, and mouse/stylus support, with stylus pressure fully supported, so it should be most usable on Galaxy Note 10.1.
Also, it's named 'GIMP' now, not 'Linux for Android', as my previous app was, I hope it will be easier for users to discover.
Inkscape is included as a bonus, because there's no much difference between 500MB and 650Mb install.

Actually, it's "GIMP Inkscape" as per your link :)

That's nice. I did not know there were any project right now for GIMP on Android. Does it compile well out of the box or have you had to patch the source? I tried to check your source, but there is no GIMP source, just some scripts and xserver files, and I don't know much about this xserver thing (apparently a X11 implementation for Android).
If you have modified sources to compile for Android, and if that does not break our existing normal builds, I personally think this could make interesting upstream patches.

Sergii, what kind of experience can users expect from this? I doubt that it meets either tablet nor desktop standards, but will be compared to both. Right now, you are probably getting expections very high, and I see a lot of potential disappointement on all sides.

GIMP for Android
I did not patch GIMP at all, I used Debian Wheezy armeabihf package.
The magic is inside those scripts - there are several LD_PRELOAD-ed
libraries, which emulate Linux OS calls missing on Android, it's an
'emulation' similar to Wine.
And XServer is an X11 implementation, it's the most important and most
user-facing part of the package.
The one thing I would like to see in GIMP in future is ability to scale toolbox buttons with DPI. All text labels scale up nicely on small screen thanks to XServer, but buttons stay the same size in pixels, so you need to lower display resolution to make them bigger.

Thanks for this =) as a non-note owner, is this even semi usable with
touchscreen input?

GIMP for Android
I've tried it on Nexus 7, and it's usable with built-in magnifying glass - I can click any small button, but you will probably not enjoy it. On 10 inch tablet it should be better, but I don't have such tablet. On Nov 12, 2013 2:38 PM, "Oon-Ee Ng" wrote:
