Android 16 has a terminal app, running debian. Debian has org-roam on its software repositories, so you can install it using `sudo apt install` command on your phone. Next, you can also install [org-roam-ui](https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam-ui) inside the android terminal app using emacs `use-package`. Then, you can sync your org-roam notes between your laptop and your android phone using syncthing. Your android terminal app running debian can reach your shared file directory under `/mnt/shared/`directory. So you can set get org-roam reading your laptop org files, and you can run org-roam-ui server on there. Then, using your mobile browser, you can (?) visit the local host address for the org-roam-ui and read your notes.

Has anyone tried this setup for **read-only** usecase? I am only looking to read my org-roam notes on mobile, see the interconnectivity, the links and backlinks. [Logseq](https://org-roam.discourse.group/t/how-good-is-logseq-on-android-for-reading-only-the-org-roam-notes/3844) has its own shortcomings when it comes to adopting it for reading-only your org-roam notes on mobile.
