Technically, with root access, yeah. It's just that Android's UI isn't a DE/WM in the desktop Linux sense
And same for Android app data with root access.
/data
contains, well, data of apps and the general system. Sure, it's not the same as on desktop Linux, but it's still possible to modify, copy, delete with root access. Every app is a different Linux user on Android, and that's also just different from desktop Linux.To me, you're just pointing out differences due to the software architecture of both OSes.
You can also just install different apps that change the home screen. Android calls them "launchers". You can install one from the Google Play Store or elsewhere like any other app. Then just set it up. Once it's setup, the phone simply loads that app's launcher instead of the phone's default launcher (which is usually also an app).
Yeah but for e.g. the notification and quick panel, you need to modify the System UI app. It's like everything below the top panel in GNOME is replaceable lol
You think compiling a binary with a different toolchain and system paths is the same as exploiting a made up security vulnerability linked to a game for some reason. I'm done wasting my time here.
/system/bin/uname -s
printsLinux
, that's enough.
