Get it

Current Version: 0.9.3 – Size: 139MB

There is a nice “How-To” install and use shashlik: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/how-to-install-and-run-android-apk-on-linux-with-shashlik/

The current version has been tested to work within a KDE Plasma 5 environment. In other environments, it *could* work, but is not tested by the developers.

If you have compiled packages for latest Shashlik or know where to find such, please let us know in the comments and we link to it above.

  • Aram Grigoryan

    rpm builds?

  • http://twit.altervista.org Wesley Otugo

    RPM ?

  • CW

    I was pretty excited about this but it looks like a lot of work to build from scratch. I’m assuming that’s why there’s just a .deb installer and no .rpm version.

    • http://opinadorcompulsivo.blogspot.com Miquel Mayol i Tur

      you can use yaourt from rpm distros now and use the AUR package.

  • Chris Macy

    Downloading on Ubuntu now, I’ll post back here how it works out. Is there a way we can support this work?

  • Andrew Anderson

    I can get apks to install. But many don’t function well once installed. The project has promise if it can mature to a point were compatibility with apks in not such a prevalent issue.

  • http://nitrofurano.altervista.org nitrofurano

    the packages above should mention they are for amd64 – i’m using i386 only

    • yomachaser

      I hope this doesn’t come off as rude ,but …why? Why are you still using 32bit?

      • http://nitrofurano.altervista.org nitrofurano

        because the computer is still working, it is still perfect for my needs, and i don’t want to feed planned obsolescence! :)

        • Ilya Kuchaev

          So why do you need the android apps there? :)

          • http://nitrofurano.altervista.org nitrofurano

            are you saying it is impossible? :)

      • Clinton Stacy

        Android apks contains x86 compiled shared objects. If you’re using this tool for what I am, you’ll be frustrated to have mixed architecture within a single process. 😉 Trampolines would work better if ALL the code in question was 32-bit OR 64-bit, but not both.

      • Shane Kennedy

        Because is is more hardware efficient if you don’t use 64bit apps

  • jorge luis

    ok 😉

        • Atheror

          • ReNa

            my setup: AMD Athlon II X4 651 Quad-Core + ATI RV516 [Radeon X1300/X1550 Series]

  • Dimitris

    Works great on Debian Jessie (8.3) amd64, kernel 4.3.5 (from the backports)
    If you guys can get a per-app settings configuration system (to simulate
    bigger screens and portrait/landscape layouts) it would be awesome.

    Oh and we also need a reliable apk install-uninstall mechanism.

    When those two are done it will be as close to perfect as we can get it :)
    (Next deliverable we’ll ask you for some USB or PCI passthrough for some hardware simulation but we’re not in a big hurry :) ) Thanks for your hard work :)

    When try to open .deb file with Ubuntu Software Center i received this message error :

    The package doesn’t provide a valid Installed-Size control field. See Debian Policy 5.6.20.

    From the command line nothing happens

      Same OS, same problem. Not opening for me on KDE Manjaro when typing in “shashlik” or related commands. Also not showing up in the launcher.

      • ibattlemonsters

        There is no gui. You run shashlik-install filename.apk in terminal then you run shashlik-run filename.apk

        It will remove the shashlik,not install the dependency

        • https://battleofhrubieszow.wordpress.com Kamil Koczurek

          It should be removed, as the installation wasn’t successful. You should try doing this:
          apt deb shashlik-*.deb
          and in case of error – apt install -f

          If that one deosen’t work too, you can install dependencies manually.

  • Federico Galli

    fedora packages ?

    • Bec-Busuck

      Hello,

      Use alien to make a rpm package using the Ubuntu package.

      The rpm you will get is not perfect (shashlik-0.9.3-2.x86_64 conflict with filesystem-3.2-28.fc21.x86_64 packet). You have to correct it using rpmrebuild.

      Just do that:

      fakeroot alien shashlik_0.9.3.deb –to-rpm

      sudo rpmrebuild -ep shashlik-0.9.3-2.x86_64.rpm

      Then you will enter into Vim to correct some stuff.

      Just comment the line: %attr(0755, root, root) “/”

      then…

      sudo yum install /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/shashlik-0.9.3-2.x86_64.rpm

      Done!

      Tested on Fedora 21 x86_64 with gnome.

    • Kirn Gill

      You’ll need to install the appropriate libgl package for your driver.

      • https://ruskijezik.wixsite.com/ruski Александар

        How to do that?

        • Kirn Gill

          Read the documentation for your distribution. Proprietary drivers often replace the Mesa system libGL.so.1 file with a version designed for the driver.

          If you use NVIDIA driver, make sure you only use NVIDIA libGL.so.1, if you use open source Mesa driver, use Mesa libGL.so.1

          Please read your distribution’s help files and online wiki!

    I just got Shashlik to work on Debian Jessie 8, but the app is not accepting mouse clicks. I’m wondering if I can programmatically emulate a mouse click to this window as a work-around?

    Also, it would be nice there was a forced-rotation hotkey because the game I’ve installed is initializing sideways in the viewport.

    I have a question. Does Shashlik run android binaries natively on Linux, or is it interpreting the binaries in some way a virtual machine might?

      Shashlik works like wine, he runs android binaries natively with the libs

      I would assume the DEB package would work on Debian, but 7 billion people in the world doesn’t equal number of debian users. There are more Ubuntu users, so it makes sense to call it Ubuntu package.

      Many, if not most, android apps are written in QT, KDE is also written QT and therefore has most of the libraries needed for android to run.

          Really, didvide up the statement into sections and tell me which sections are false. Is KDE not written in QT ? Is it impossible or unheard of to write Android apps in QT? And if the statement is so false, so blatantly terrible, why did it take you 8 months to respond ?
