About this app
This application implements a mostly-complete X11 server, running natively in Android. It allows X Window System applications to be run remotely and displayed on an Android device with internet access.
Note that this application does not come with a window manager. However, it is possible to run a window manager remotely, which is fiddly but seems to work.
This is still a beta release, so feel free to report any bugs you find, or, better yet, fix them yourself. Yes, it's open source, hosted at http://code.google.com/p/android-xserver/

If you don't like having to configure VNC to run Linux from Termux on your phone, because you are a diehard Linux purist or an IT dunce, this is as easy as starting it and typing "export DISPLAY=:0" rather than trying to deal with connecting to a VNC for your mobile desktop Linux needs. The UI of the preliminary configuring of the server looks a little rough, but since your trying to set up another device's display, it could matter less what the blocky texr beforehand looks like.

Start up interface is a bit clunky and the server itself seems to be limited to simple, or ancient apps. For example, xterm, xclock work well, brave just crashes. Great proof of concept though.

As the description makes clear, this app is not a full, finished, plug-and-play solution for literally anything!! don't install it if you're not trying to do something for which you know you need an X server. And if you do, don't give it a one-star review because it doesn't look like it's doing anything. This is great, thanks for making it!
