1 SMART PC Sruthi Kadaveru Subhasree Neela ABSTRACT Android operating system runs on the top of Linux kernel yet lacks the potential to execute standard Linux desktop applications. Despite the fact that efforts have been made to enable this functionality, any approach to deal with this requires a client to change to a separate desktop environment, bringing about a considerable loss of interface consistency and ease of use. In this project we use Debian No Root, an Android application intended to execute in a specially, no root Android construct. It opens desktop Linux abilities by mounting the Debian Linux distribution into the file framework and gives a tool to streamline the establishment and execution of Linux programs within Android. Using this Debian OS application, the project mainly portrays the capabilities of a smartphone as the replacement of a desktop. 1

2 GOAL The idea of Smart PC is to convert a smart phone into a PC. The concept of SMART PC holds good when we can demonstrate the unique desktop specific application even on a smartphone. Our main goal for this project is to demonstrate the programing of an application and how well is the performance on a smartphone. INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND MIXING ANDROID AND LINUX WHY ANDROID? 2

3 DEBIAN NO ROOT Debian No Root is not a complete version of Debian OS; it is a compatibility layer which allows the users to run Debian desktop application. Many Linux based applications can be installed on this app and use it just like a desktop. As it does not require rooting the device it works fine with any stock ROM. This app requires 900 MB space on the internal memory (cannot be installed on SD card) to be installed. Debian No Root doesn t have any contents at first, which means no programs are preinstalled, so we need to install all by ourselves. IMPLEMENTATION TARGET PLATFORM Samsung Galaxy S3 TOOLS REQUIRED A relatively new smartphone/tablet A TV or monitor Keyboard (Bluetooth/USB) Mouse (Bluetooth/USB) 3

4 SETTING UP Bluetooth Mouse MHL Cable with HDMI and USB Audio Cable with HDMI/VGA port Samsung S3 Android Smartphone Bluetooth Keyboard OUR EXPERIMENTS o Developing an interactive game application using an IDE: AIM of the game A random four-digit code with nonrepeated digits is generated by the system and player/user should guess the code within limited number of attempts. Ducks It represents number of correct digits, placed in correct location. Chicks It represents number of correct digits, but placed in wrong location. 4

5 o Developing a Dynamic Website For developing our dynamic website, we used the following: Tomcat7 MySQL JSP HTML CSS Which acts as Server Which is our backend database Java Server Pages which provides the communication between server and database Serves as User Interface Cascading Style Sheets Commands Used: Tomcat7 MySQL Java Eclipse FireFox Word apt-get install apache2 apt-get install mysql-server apt-get install openjdk-java7-jdk openjdk-java7-jre openjdk-java7-lib apt-get install eclipse eclipse-jdt apt-get install iceweasel apt-get install abiword Add Students form 5

8 ISSUES FACED Since the Debian OS doesn t come with any of the built-in software The executable file cannot be run on this Smart PC due to mismatch with underlying OS versions. As this Debian mobile version is not yet fully constructed OS, it allows very few packages for downloading, which restricts the users. Limited RAM storage, disk space and CPU are always constraints compared to desktops/laptops. Programming on this mobile Debian OS was always challenging because of limited programming environment. FUTURE WORK In this project, we mainly focused on the demonstration of one of the desktop specific feature i.e., programming/development of applications. Programming being our main aspect, we could successfully demonstrate how well a smart pc can be used to replace a desktop in this scenario using different ways like coding using terminal, developing an interactive game using java with the help of an IDE and also designing and developing a dynamic website. This approach helped us demonstrate the extent to which a smart pc can be used over computers. As part of our future work, we would like to extend our scope by working with different mobile OS versions. Also explore other desktop unique features. 8

9 CONCLUSION Turning a mobile phone into a Smart PC can open up many opportunities to different types of users. Working on Debian mobile OS on smartphone is much like desktop Linux version. Increased processing power, better battery life, vastly improved networking speeds on mobile devices, are the demands with which accelerate the shift from desktops to Smart PC. Beyond shadow of doubt, Smart PC can be a better replacement to traditional desktops for low cost. THANK YOU!! 9
