MakuluLinux Droid is Designed to bring Android support to Makulu. You can run APK files straight out of the box, simply double click them to run the same way you would on a native Android System. Makulu Droid Desktop is Loosely designed on the Core Desktop Design, with similar Theming and Desktop layout, built on our Ubuntu hybrid 2021 Base and Designed on a heavily modified Gnome Framework.

The Layout of Makulu Droid Compliments the System of combining both Linux and Android on a single Desktop, The bottom dock houses favorite icons, the top panel houses a Main Menu, System icons and User Extensions.

MakuluLinux Droid has Full Google Support, You will find some Google apps preinstalled, namely Google Playstore, Google News, Google Maps, Gmail and Google Games. Users only need to log into the Playstore for all the other google apps to Sync their personal accounts and settings from the Cloud. It is all automated and pre configured just like as if you were running an Android Phone or Tablet.

Desktop Right Click Menu – Droid now also sports some nice GUI’s to manage wallpapers, the Desktop Clock and Layout options. With one click you can change the preferred layout of your desktop and move the panel / dock and menus top, bottom and the system will automatically adjust and scale everything accordingly, the whole process is automated. You can find these cool options in the desktop right click menu ( right click on the desktop to bring up the menu ).

Droid also sports some special effects like Wobbly windows, Magic lamp and Window transparency, these effects can be turned on/off anytime via the Theme manager on the desktop ( again, you can access the theme manager from the right click menu on the desktop ).

Droid comes with very minimal Software pre installed, leaving software selection choices mostly for the user to setup for themselves, The software center included supports Snaps and Flathub so users will have PLENTY software to choose from. We have however included quite a bit of backend software and a huge selection of drivers to support many devices out of the box.

This is an Experimental Build of MakuluLinux Droid, while we do not expect many issues, some may exist, please run at your own risk.

We use Anbox to bring the Android experience to Makulu Droid, therefore the Applications and Games supported by Anbox is not something under our control, some applications and games may run while others do not, You will need to test and experiment and query app and game support with Anbox developers directly..
