[Question] Wine in Android
Wine can be builded for android but is very useless because of lack for emulate x86.
Hangover can be used in some way for build wine for android?
It can be used on android via termux. Checkout the readme. Consult the termux documentation on how to set up a graphical environment and install the hangover package

oh thanks, have some plans for something like https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/android/? looks wine on android is abandonned https://archive.fosdem.org/2014/schedule/event/wine_android/
Hangover 0.4.0 release still has an APK for download. But it won't be revived. See also https://github.com/AndreRH/hangover/issues/113

oh thanks, is sadly the android app in upstream wine is a legacy thing, i had hopes to someday all problems will be fixed in upstream and a future wine driver for android buffer display
The usefulness of Windows applications on Android has always been relatively limited due to the touchscreen vs mouse/keyboard interface. The main use for the Android version of Wine was on chromebooks, which luckily sometimes have x86 CPUs too. But afaiu nowadays chromebooks can run a proper Linux distro in chroot, mooting a lot of the Android specific code.

That's true, but people go to great lengths, InputBridge etc. Even playing Age of Empires on a phone: https://www.reddit.com/r/EmulationOnAndroid/comments/1bxcigh/what_are_you_playing_on_winlator/
Newest development seems to be running things directly in termux to avoid the proot perf hit like in Winlator, see https://github.com/olegos2/mobox.
Hangover would further reduce the CPU load. There's 1 guy who prebuilt it for termux but unfortunately not in any automated way: https://github.com/alexvorxx/hangover-termux/releases
Check the packaging section of the readme. There's an official termux package for hangover
I see, thanks!
Unfortunately the documentation on that is rather incomplete. I had to activate the tur-multilib manually to be able to install hangover.
pkg install tur-repo
nano $PREFIX/etc/apt/sources.list.d/tur.list
pkg update
pkg install hangover-wine
