It can be used on android via termux. Checkout the readme. Consult the termux documentation on how to set up a graphical environment and install the hangover package

oh thanks, have some plans for something like https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/android/? looks wine on android is abandonned https://archive.fosdem.org/2014/schedule/event/wine_android/
Hangover 0.4.0 release still has an APK for download. But it won't be revived. See also https://github.com/AndreRH/hangover/issues/113

oh thanks, is sadly the android app in upstream wine is a legacy thing, i had hopes to someday all problems will be fixed in upstream and a future wine driver for android buffer display
The usefulness of Windows applications on Android has always been relatively limited due to the touchscreen vs mouse/keyboard interface. The main use for the Android version of Wine was on chromebooks, which luckily sometimes have x86 CPUs too. But afaiu nowadays chromebooks can run a proper Linux distro in chroot, mooting a lot of the Android specific code.

That's true, but people go to great lengths, InputBridge etc. Even playing Age of Empires on a phone: https://www.reddit.com/r/EmulationOnAndroid/comments/1bxcigh/what_are_you_playing_on_winlator/
Newest development seems to be running things directly in termux to avoid the proot perf hit like in Winlator, see https://github.com/olegos2/mobox.
Hangover would further reduce the CPU load. There's 1 guy who prebuilt it for termux but unfortunately not in any automated way: https://github.com/alexvorxx/hangover-termux/releases
Check the packaging section of the readme. There's an official termux package for hangover
I see, thanks!
Unfortunately the documentation on that is rather incomplete. I had to activate the tur-multilib
manually to be able to install hangover.
pkg install tur-repo
nano $PREFIX/etc/apt/sources.list.d/tur.list
pkg update
pkg install hangover-wine
Wine can be builded for android but is very useless because of lack for emulate x86.
Hangover can be used in some way for build wine for android?
