A google search shows a number of ways of running MS programs on android cellphones. One method suggests running Wine, then you can load whatever EXE desired.
Has anyone been able to run LTspice on android? How did you do it, and how well does it work?
Thanks,
Android runs Java. I don't think WinE works on Java.

which are Java apps, not Win apps on WinE.
you don't have to run java on android, it is basically linux. But there are very few if any cellphones with a an x86 cpu
Android runs ARM, which emulates X86. Obviously a bit slower, but it works.

Your phone muct be half a decade old then because modern smartphones are as powerful as the original supercomputers were.
Plenty of full bore engineering apps on mobile device platforms out there, ya dopey f*ck.
Wine runs natively, so it'll need some x86 underneath. It's also the reason you can't use the newer windows stuff on 32 bit systems.
As of Wine 3.0 (mid 2019) Wine supports running Windows apps on Android. Someone should check it out!
Forgot to add, it's only for Android for x86-based mobile devices, for the reasons given
aren't they extremely rare?
Asus Zenphone seems to have been the most well-known type from a few years back. Anything Intel Atom should work though, which while unpopular for smartphones now (ok, never really was..) still seems to be used a fair amount in various cheap tablets and other mobile widgets mostly for market in the 3rd world
Wine 3.0 on the Android-x86 port might let you run LT on that thing, Windows 10S only lets you run Microsoft Store apps no 3rd party. I doubt trying to install any full version of Windows would fly.
Also any ChromeOS device using say an Intel Celeron under-the-hood with the Chrome ARC like many Chromebooks and Chrome OS tablets etc should work, like the relatively cheap Acer Spin:
If you can't get LTspice to run on your Android smartphone, some alternatives:
CircuitSafari SPICE Simulator (Early Access)
Spice Circuit
WeSpice
There are also web apps, that run in a browser window:
Partsim
Multisim
Android runs ARM. It emulates X86 to run Wine:
and if you read them you'd know you need an x86 device to run anything but WinRT apps
LTspice IV and XVII run fine under Wine.
sure, as long as you have got an x86 cpu
If you have a Linux phone ($800 and the most secure phone) you can run Virtual Box and load a Windows image in that.
