The idea is simple.
I was looking for a way to program on the phone and I think I found an interesting setup.
What I used was:
Smartphone (android)
A raspberry pi 2
USB Keyboard
Powerbank (5000mAh battery)
2 USB phone charging cables
Pillow (to lift both the keyboard and phone)
VNC viewer (android app)
USB Tethering (share Internet and connect with the Pi)
PIXEL (raspbian powered os on the raspberry pi)
To start with.
I connected the pi to the smartphone, keyboard and powerbank. You only need a usb charging cable for this. To use the phone as a computer screen you need VNC viewer. To connect you can use Internet sharing by USB. This will make it possible for the vnc viewer on the phone to connect the vnc server on the raspberry pi.
Then when your done. Why not put the phone and the keyboard on a pillow and the setup feels as good as a laptop. Sure the screen is smaller but since VNC has automatic scrolling when moving the mouse it does not matter so much. Just increase the font size. VNC has a built in mouse that works just fine. No need for an external.
I was surprised the setup worked so fine. Since it runs on a powerbank you could charge it with a solar panel.
Voila! And you get yourself a cheap solar mobile Linux PC.
