Connect an iPhone onto Q4OS Laptop

Is there any way to connect my iphone to this laptop with Q4OS on it and see apps that are on the iphone? I guess mirror the iphone on the laptop?

Re: Connect an iPhone onto Q4OS Laptop

If you want something like remote desktop you could try Teamviewer I have used it to control other machines from the iPhone and according to that article it is also possible to control the iPhone.
disclaimer: I haven't tried it so cannot guarantee it will work...

Is there any way to install Archon on Q4OS to see Android Apps?

Re: Connect an iPhone onto Q4OS Laptop

What I'm looking for is something that I can run Android apps on a Q4OS loaded laptop. Something like the BlueStacks App Player.

Take a look at Anbox, its an excellent approach to running Android apps natively on Linux.

Heres an article,  https://liliputing.com/2017/04/anbox-le … stros.html

Does anyone know how I can get Anbox installed? I can't find it in the repository. Is there anything else I can use?

Re: Connect an iPhone onto Q4OS Laptop

From the https://anbox.io site "the installer currently requires an operating system that supports snaps"

I don't think Q4OS currently supports snaps. However, if my memory is correct I saw somewhere that they are working on getting it for Q4OS. But, I could be wrong. Someone with a better memory would have to help you there.

Anbox is in alpha right now but eventually it could become an excellent option.  It shows a lot of promise and they are working very quickly to improve it.

Snaps are supported in Q4OS Scorpion natively. There are no support for Orion available or planned.

Re: Connect an iPhone onto Q4OS Laptop

There is the possibity to run in a virtual machine, this page might be of help. I did try a similar method some time back and failed to get it running at that time, but as always improvements are being made so it could be better now.
