You do not need to flash anything. It's already available on Android phones even without root. I use it on unrooted Nexus 6p. Google "Termux emacs".
+1 for Termux. I started using it purely for the novelty of running emacs on my phone (a moto x pure) and it's a great piece of software. It's even open source! https://github.com/termux/termux-app

The nox version works beautifully in the new ubuntu subsystem bash console. I've never tried using any of the graphical versions.
Any chance you were successful at building it from source in the Ubuntu subsystem? I got some weird errors related to maybe shared memory or something and gave up.
The emacs ecosystem has really changed how I work. I manage all of my email now in `mu4e`. I manage all of my notes, writing, TODOs, time tracking, invoicing in `org-mode`. For interacting with git, `magit` is simply amazing. The most important thing is how everything works together. There is the obvious window, frame and buffer management, the kill ring, the searching across all open buffers. Less obvious is that wh…
Are there other good reasons to use mu4e? I'm an Emacs person, but not yet an "I do my email in Emacs" person.

If Org mode interests you this may be good advice:
- http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html
For the lazy, I have an emacs.d directory packaged with,
Norang's Bernt Hanson Org mode configuration, if you are
eager to try Org mode for the first time, try it out:
- clone https://github.com/ncouture/emacs.d
- replace ~/.emacs.d with the repo's root dir
- launch emacs
- read Bernt Hanson's Org configuration workflow
documentation (http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html)
There are many well-rounded pre-packaged Emacs
configurations available out there, they may be nice but
they will fool you.
Try them to get a feeling on how Emacs behaves with
other people, but don't stick around too long.
Build your own environment.

That mail workflow is good, and I use it too, but not in Emacs; most of the task management tools for OSX can link back to a specific email. Are there other good reasons to use mu4e? I'm an Emacs person, but not yet an "I do my email in Emacs" person.
There are many people who use Emacs as their OS, its never been appealing to me, because I like the richness of other tools.
There is a question though, are OSes doing enough to make the integrated experience like Emacs something that's done system wide? I think Apple comes close to providing the set of things you want, but it still feels tacked onto the top, rather than more deeply integrated.
Somewhat related: I am starting a new job soon and I want to get Emacs setup "right" this time. I've been using Aquamacs for the last several years, but I'm wondering if there is a better way to use Emacs on the Mac these days? As part of this, I want to get my .emacs under version control and shared between computers so I have the same settings everywhere. Is there a good way to do that with Emacs packages installed…

No, i just did sudo apt-get install emacs24-nox. I haven't had great luck with build tools. I broke the whole thing two or three times trying to install ghci.

If I wasn't using org, I don't think I would find it that useful. I'm not really a power user of mu4e. I don't have any complicated email workflows. I like that the search is very fast (for me, anyway -- I only have 100k emails), and, obviously, that my email is stored locally. I like that I can compose in Emacs. I also use two computers and I like that I can easily share configuration. My config, which doesn't do anything too fancy, is here: https://github.com/mjhoy/dotfiles/blob/master/emacs.d/lisp/i...
Congrats on the release. But I'm wondering, why not provide the PGP signatures for the code over HTTPS instead of HTTP?
Does it matter? If your connection gets MITM'd and someone changes the .sig files, they'll no longer validate against GNU's code-signing public key (which you may already have, or if not, the link to download it is https ( https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-keyring.gpg ). (Unless of course that person has GNU's private key, but in that case you've lost before you started) (Incidentally, if you just change the url from http…
