Create an Android APK to run the client on an old android device we do not need

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I live far away from the US, and I have an old fully working android phone that I would love to use as an alternative more bulky client for the server.

Describe the solution you'd like A simple APK that runs the app always and does the same thing as the O1 hardware.

Describe alternatives you've considered I do not have time to go down the hardware rabbit hole, and don't want to wait for other batches to ship to Europe.

Additional context My old phone is just waiting for this to make me 100x more productive. So many things I would like to use my voice to do on my computer while working on thinking about stuff, tell it to load my dev env for a particular project, check if pods are running correctly on a particular kube cluster, or read my emails. My phone will stay plugged and on my desk, it will be my full time assistant and coworker, and what a great circular-economy like thing with the useful re-purposing of an old device.

Lastly, APKs are super easy to install, no need for app stores.

This will also open-up the project to all the poor people in the third world who will never be able to afford to buy or build the device. Having lived in Africa, I know all too well how important that is for many young people there. This is huge IMHO!
