Google recently released the first Android Application set that can run locally on Chrome OS. This feat is accomplished through the 'android runtime 'extension.

Now, a developer has pointed out how to bring Android apps into Chrome for desktop.

Freard Phillips's chromeos-apk script works with ARChon Android runtime extension hand in hand to bring Android applications into Chrome on Windows, Mac, and Linux desktops.

Android applications running on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: IMDB, Flipboard, and Twitter

The performance of applications running through 'android running' is not surprising. any ambition to run Dead Trigger 2 or other graphics-intensive games can be put aside.

Similarly, if you want to run an unofficial reconstruction package of the official 'android running', or run it outside of Chrome OS, its system integrity (such as webcams and speakers) may be incomplete or impossible at all.

Follow the instructions below to make sure the operation is successful. It can only be carried out as highly experimental, with vulnerabilities everywhere, very unstable-or even cool. You can only try it out of curiosity, so that you will not be troubled by it.

Conversion from Android to Linux

To run Android applications on Linux Through Chrome, it is obvious that you need to install Chrome. The required version is 37 or later. To be honest, if you want to play an unstable Chrome version, you can also download and install it for Linux.

If a Chrome version is installed? Run the following command to install the unstable version:

1. Sudo apt-get install google-chrome-unstable

With Chrome, You need to download the customized 'android running' extension, instead of the version provided by Google or Chronium-The 'android running' created by freard Phillips '. This version is different from the official version. The most prominent difference is that it can run on a desktop browser.

• Download ARChon v1.0 from BitBucket

After 'android runtime 'is downloaded, extract the content from .zip and move the decompressed folder to your Home folder.

To install it, open Google Chrome, click the hamburger menu button, and navigate to the extension page. Check 'Enable developer mode' and click 'Load unpack Extensions.

The 'android running' extension does not do much, so you need to create a compatibility package from the Android app. To do this, you need the 'chromeos-apk 'command line Javascript tool, which can be installed from the "Node encapsulation module Manager (npm.

First run:

1. Sudo apt-get install npm nodejs-legacy

Ubuntu 64-bit user? You also need to obtain the following libraries:

1. Sudo apt-get install lib32stdc ++ 6

Run the npm command to install the script:

1. Npm install-g chromeos-apk

Depending on your configuration, you may need to run sudo later. If you do not like to install the npm module through sudo, you can try to cheat it.

Now, it's done. Go to Google and find the APK of the application you want to try. Please rememberNot all android applications work, AndThose that can work may not work well.Or the function is missing.

Put the android APK You Want ~ /Home, and then return to the terminal and use the following command to convert. You can name the APK as any name you want:

1. Chromeos-apk replaceme.apk -- archon

This command takes a little time to complete the job, perhaps in the twinkling of an eye. In fact, you don't need to blink of an eye.

Now, there is a Chrome APK extension-y folder-y generated by ARChon in your Home folder. All you have to do is install and check whether it works properly!

Go back to the chrome: // extensions page and tap the 'Load unwrapped extension' button again, but this time select the folder created from the above script.

The application should be correctly installed, but is it correct? Open the Chrome app starter or app page and start it to see if there is any problem.

In-depth exploration

Because ARChon supports an unlimited number of chrome-based APK files during running, you can perform this operation multiple times. Chrome APK subreddit is used to track successes/failures, so if you feel useful, you must post your results.
