github ExTV/Podroid v1.0.5

latest releases: v1.2.8, v1.2.7, v1.2.6...
5 months ago

Before installing: Uninstall the old version first so the init system (initramfs) gets updated correctly. Installing over an existing version will keep the old VM kernel and init script.

What's new in v1.0.5

Setup wizard

  • Two-page onboarding flow — choose storage size (2–64 GB) and configure SSH before first boot
  • Animated page indicator and progress bar

SSH support

  • Enable SSH from the setup wizard or Settings
  • VM port 22 mapped to Android port 9922
  • Phone's local IP shown automatically in the VM MOTD
  • `ssh root@ -p 9922` — password: `podroid`

In-app update checker

  • Notified when a new release is available on GitHub
  • Dismiss once and it won't show again for that version

VM improvements

  • Compact MOTD — all info in ~12 lines instead of 35
  • Boot stage indicator now correctly reaches "Ready"
  • Storage image recreated automatically if size doesn't match chosen size
  • `openssh` included in the initramfs

Bug fixes

  • Fixed storage size not applying (race condition between DataStore write and navigation)
  • Fixed update checker falsely triggering on debug builds
  • Fixed boot loading stuck at "Configuring containers…"

Installation

Download `app-debug.apk` and install it. You may need to allow installation from unknown sources.
