Done implementation 🚬

Kali Linux is now available in the official rootfs repo 👩‍💻

New options to customize the terminal experience! 🚬

Anything that annoys you when using Droidspaces? Anything that you would like Droidspaces to have except Wayland gimmicks that is truly universal?

If you are a beginner in Android kernels AND eager to learn how to cook your own kernel properly instead of paying/relying on someone, this guide is for you: https://github.com/ravindu644/Android-Kernel-Tutorials The tutorial has been updated with the latest tips, build scripts, and re-formatted markdown files. This guide works for compiling both non-GKI kernels and GKI kernels out of the kernel root. It covers the basics that you need to become a "pro cooker" Feel free to leave a star if it's useful for you 🎉

New option: custom rootfs installation location!

🗿

Droidspaces v6.5.0 has been released! 🥳

- 40+ security fixes across the daemon: shell-quoting, symlink race hardening, CLOEXEC, netlink bounds checks
- seccomp: block KSU magic-reboot fd install and neutralize GRANT_ROOT escape
- feat(systemd): unit inspection and override.conf editing
- fix(net): actually remove DS iptables rules on cleanup; stop phantom drop logs
- fix(net): re-base jump verdicts on raw iptables delete (fixes ELOOP), keep uplink route monitor alive across internal reboots
- fix: reinstall host network rules when netd flushes them
- feat(ui): swipe between home/containers/control panel and service filter categories
- app: drag to reorder upstream interfaces, launcher long-press shortcuts, validate tarball is a Linux rootfs before install
- refactor: unified Edit/Config and Procd/OpenRC/Systemd screens, extracted shared UI components, ~6,300 LoC nuked

Plus the usual round of translation updates, UI polish, and under-the-hood refactoring. Full Changelog and Downloads: https://github.com/ravindu644/Droidspaces-OSS/releases/tag/v6.5.0 @Droidspaces

If there are no bugs in the main branch, I'm going to release v6.5.0 right now 🗽 Any bugs ?

I always appreciate if you guys can make PRs in the repo if you guys can actually fix them rather than opening issues. Life went busy, but I'm still going on. Managing Droidspaces while listening to music while travelling in the bus, managing fiverr orders, managing 6h sleep, managing the team and the teamwork, etc..

Guys, this CI version includes over 80 commits that fix dozens of security vulnerabilities and feature minor UI overhauls in the Android app, while removing duct-tape solutions that reduced the codebase by 6,200 lines of code. This is a major refactor of Droidspaces, thanks to the recent Claude Max subscription 🦀 I have personally tested everything I can. However, I need your help to test the latest CI for at least three days to identify any hidden glitches. Thanks.

Guys, this is our group's work, and I'm the team leader. So, we need some statistics from all over the world. If you can spend about 4 minutes on this form, it would be appreciated.

Hi all, we're a group of university students building a new way to meet people who like the same things as you, in real life and not just online. Before we build anything we need to know if this problem is even real, so we made a short survey. Takes 3-4 minutes, fully anonymous, no right or wrong answers. https://forms.gle/WPE2132poyrqhTNr7 Thank you for your time 🙏🏼

(If possible, please help us by sharing this post to whatever group or channel you own, or with your friends - rv)

@Droidspaces

I'm just a student from Sri Lanka. Here, the traditional path is to do Advanced Levels and go to university. So, it applies to me as well. I did my Advanced Levels in the Physical Science stream. Since I'm very passionate about Android low-level stuff, I studied while cooking kernels at 3AM, building custom ROMs, kernels, recoveries, and experimenting with the concept of "Linux on Android" and other projects. Because of this, I messed up my A/Ls for 4 years. I never made it work. My friends made fun of me. They went to uni, posting photos with their partners and trips they go on, etc. I know I'm more capable than them in my own field. I was very disappointed in myself, but I kept cooking. I just gave the middle finger to A/Ls and focused on my low-level work where I truly feel at "home". I did some great projects, learned new things, saw my impressions on my GitHub profile and other platforms increasing, and kept building things. My core goal is to find frustration points in the tools I use in my day-to-day life, identify what's already there in the industry, take inspiration from only the "good" in the projects already on the web, and build something "that just works" by combining all the ideas I had and got from others. This is how I built Droidspaces. I was amazed by LXC and its ability to run an init system, but it's so limited on Android. So, why not build something entirely from scratch? Ever since I built Droidspaces and posted it on Reddit, the numbers on my GitHub profile skyrocketed. I got 400+ followers, our repo has almost 1.5K stars, 20K+ downloads, kernel tutorials got 600+ stars, etc. Since I have a good portfolio, I applied for the InfoSchol Scholarship program conducted by one of the top private universities in Sri Lanka (IIT) just to see what happens. I just cooked up a 3-page CV with proof links containing my life's work, attached it to the online application, and waited until the deadline, May 31, 2026. I'm not gonna publicly share IIT's selection process as it is private information, but after a 5-layer selection process, including aptitude tests and physical interviews, I can finally say I'm in! I applied under Computer Science, and after the whole 5-layer selection process, only 46 applicants were left out of thousands, and I'm one of them..! It's crazy to imagine someone who screwed up A/Ls, has no certificates from school because I never showed off my skills publicly as I didn't want trouble and I'm an introvert, and lived inside a cave cooking kernels and Droidspaces at 3AM can pull this off. In the physical interview, they didn't even look at my "educational qualifications". They just looked at the first page of my CV and asked a bunch of questions, checked out my phone for the kernel and Droidspaces, and told me people like me are very rare.. That conversation confused me as well. They checked the bulky certificates from other candidates, but not mine.. So, this is it..! The filtering isn't over.. There are 2 final filters (a 3-month induction programme and a physical interview) to go. I guess I can face them as well :) I'm going to IIT starting this July 20! (yeah 2 days left..) If everything goes well, I'll start my journey as a Computer Science student in January 2027 :) So, this is my story.. All because I never gave up even when my entire life felt like it was falling apart. If Droidspaces had never existed, I might not have been able to come this far, to be honest...
