Debian - aucune racine requis!

This application is not updated anymore, at least not until I will get a fresh phone.

This application will install Debian Jessie.
You do not need to root your device, it will work fine with any stock ROM.
You will need 900 Mb free on internal storage. This application cannot be installed to SD card.
A mouse or stylus is highly recommended.
If you are using Android 6.0 or newer, check out our sister application - GNURoot Debian. You can pair it with XSDL application to run graphical Debian applications.

This application is NOT full Debian OS - it is a compatibility layer, which allows you to run Debian applications.
Your phone is NOT rooted during installation.
This is NOT official Debian.org release.

If you have Еrror -24 when installing this application - install this version (it's the same application with different name):
sourceforge.net/projects/libsdl-android/files/ubuntu/Debian-15.08.28-xx.apk
Do not uninstall this application if you have Android 4.4 or older - you will not be able to install it again, because of a bug in Android, which was fixed in Android 5.0.
Сlear application data instead to save space - long-press application icon in drawer, drag it to App Info icon, and select Сlear data.

If you want to use web browser, open Terminal and run command sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install iceweasel

If you want to use Еclipse or other Java applications, install package openjdk-7-jdk and restart Debian app, because default JDK does not work on Samsung devices.
