Pi-hole for Android APK Installer v.3.0.2

[DesktopECHO]

Pi-hole for Android (Pi Deploy) utilizes a fork of Linux Deploy to simplify deployment of Raspbian to most rooted Android devices.

Note to users of previous builds:

• Uninstall any previous versions of Linux Depoy or Pi Deploy and reboot your device.
• Failure to heed this advice will cause issues!

Installation:

• Download and Install the latest Pi Deploy APK
• Tap the main menu (Three dots at the top right of screen)
• Tap New Deployment
• In a few minutes, the Raspbian Image will be downloaded and installed on your device.
• When deployment is complete, tap [ ▷ START ] to launch the instance.
• The instance will provide you with a password for Pi-hole admin, SSH and RDP access (Username: android, see screenshot below)
• Note: The password appears only once when the image is deployed, make sure you record this information.
• Hint: The password text can be copy/pasted to other Android apps (like Remote Desktop)
• (Optional) To install PIXEL Desktop run pideploy-gui-install and restart the instance. Next time you login via RDP you will have a full desktop session with audio support.

It means your device is not rooted.

It’s very clearly stated that your device needs to be rooted for this to work.

Is this going to be safe for my phone even though it says it can harm my device?

[LeBazarDeBryan]

Yes it's safe, I tested the apk.

[warmike01]

Is this good for Android 4.x?

[DesktopECHO]

You want the legacy branch, but I've not worked with it in a while and upstream dropped support for CentOS 7.
