For instance, I downloaded \u201cwine-3.2-arm.apk\u201d on my phone, but you may need its \u201cx86\u201d version if your device has an Intel CPU in place of an ARM CPU (as mine).<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/running-windows-apps-on-android-devices-wine-3\/download-wine-android.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"710\" alt=\"Download Wine for Android\"><\/figure>\n<li>Open the downloaded APK, and install Wine app on your device.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/running-windows-apps-on-android-devices-wine-3\/install-wine-android.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"706\" alt=\"Install Wine on Android\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Try out Wine on Android<\/h2>\n<p>After you have downloaded and installed Wine on your device, it is time to experiment with it. Just follow the below steps to continue with this guide:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Open the Wine app<\/strong> on your Android device. If you are starting it for the first time, it will take some time to extract its files and set up the Windows environment, but from the second time onwards, it will be much faster.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/running-windows-apps-on-android-devices-wine-3\/run-wine-android.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"340\" alt=\"Run Wine on Android\"><\/figure>\n<li>Once Wine is loaded, you will see a classic desktop of Windows, which instantly reminds me of Windows 98. You may <strong>click the Start button<\/strong>, and to your surprise, you will see just two options there, suggesting there is a lot more to do.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Download apps & tools<\/h2>\n<p>As most of us own a device powered by an ARM CPU, we can only run WinRT apps using Wine on Android. The list of supported <strong>WinRT apps is small<\/strong>, as you must have guessed by now; and you can access the complete app list on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.xda-developers.com\/showpost.php?p=36534446&postcount=2\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this thread on XDA Developers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you are fortunate enough to hold a <strong>device with an Intel CPU<\/strong> like ASUS ZenFone 2, you have a lot more choices to pick from the supported apps.<\/p>\n<p>That is because you can <strong>run Win32 apps, i.e., x86 aka 32-bit apps<\/strong> using Wine for Android.<\/p>\n<p>If you need to install a Windows app inside Wine, the process is as simple as below steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>On Wine\u2019s desktop, click on the <strong>Start<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/running-windows-apps-on-android-devices-wine-3\/start-button-wine-s-desktop.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" alt=\"Start button on Wine's desktop\"><\/figure>\n<li>Choose <strong>Control Panel<\/strong> and go to <strong>\u201cAdd\/Remove Programs\u201d<\/strong> from the options.<\/li>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/running-windows-apps-on-android-devices-wine-3\/choose-add-remove-programs.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" alt=\"Choose Add\/Remove Programs\"><\/figure>\n<li>A new window will open.

Follow the <strong>on-screen instructions<\/strong> provided by the installer and install the app as you install any other program in Windows.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Alternatively, you can use <strong>Wine Command Prompt to install<\/strong> or run a program inside Wine. Just type the full path of the executable in the command prompt, and Wine will show the program\u2019s installer.<\/p>\n<p>Afterward, simply follow the on-screen instructions and at the end of the process, the program will be installed. And you will see its <strong>entry under Start menu<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/running-windows-apps-on-android-devices-wine-3\/wine-command-prompt.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" alt=\"Wine Command Prompt\"><\/figure>\n<p>For example, if you are trying to install Notepad++ (with \u201cnpp.exe\u201d as its file) and its installer is present in your device\u2019s <strong>Downloads<\/strong> directory, which is located at \u201c\/sdcard\/Downloads\u201d. Then you must type \u201c\/sdcard\/Downloads\/npp.exe\u201d inside the command prompt window.<\/p>\n<h2>Troubleshooting issues<\/h2>\n<p>Following are some of the most common Wine issues and some instructions on how to troubleshoot them.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Wine won\u2019t install on my Android device.<\/h3>\n<p>If you can\u2019t install it, maybe the <strong>downloaded APK file is corrupt<\/strong>. In this case, just download it fresh and try installing it again. While installing Wine, if you are getting a message saying \u201c<strong>not allowed to install unknown apps<\/strong>\u201c, then you need to change a setting.<\/p>\n<p>You can do it by heading over to <strong>Settings <strong>&gt;<\/strong> Security<\/strong> and then toggling on <strong>\u201cUnknown sources\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/running-windows-apps-on-android-devices-wine-3\/allow-unknown-sources-settings.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"707\" alt=\"Allow Unknown sources in Settings\"><\/figure>\n<p>If you are not using Google\u2019s flavor of Android, then this setting may reside at a different place \u2014 just <strong>search for it in Settings<\/strong> or google the procedure for your device. After you have changed this option, you can try installing this app \u2014 it shall work.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Wine won\u2019t start\/run on my Android device.<\/h3>\n<p>If you are able to install Wine but not able to start or run the same, then there is some <strong>issue with your device<\/strong> \u2014 probably a compatibility problem.<\/p>\n<p>Also, please note that Wine 3.x (up to 3.2 at the time of writing) <strong>does not support Android 8<\/strong> (Oreo) platform. That said, Wine 3.x on Android 8 will always get stuck on the \u201cSetting up the Windows environment\u2026\u201d screen.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, during my tests using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/running-android-on-windows\/\">Android Emulator<\/a>, I found that Wine 3.2 is not working on emulated devices \u2014 for both ARM and x86 versions. Though the devices are assigned enough resources yet I could not reach the classic desktop on Wine using an emulator. That being said, please know that <strong>Wine 3.2 may not work on AVD<\/strong> (Android Virtual Device).<\/p>\n<h3>3. Soft aka on-screen keyboard is not showing up.<\/h3>\n<p>Wine 3.2 is not yet complete in terms of features and this bug is one of the proofs of its imperfection. That being said, you will <strong>need a physical keyboard<\/strong> (like Bluetooth keyboard) to work with Wine. It is because soft keyboard won\u2019t show up on the screen in case you wish to type something, and the only workaround is to <strong>plug in a hard keyboard<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>4. I cannot choose a directory or a file in the file dialog.<\/h3>\n<p>Windows default setting needs you to double-click an item (say a file or folder) to open it, as you must have done in Windows. Since we are talking about touch-enabled devices, we need to <strong>double tap to emulate a double-click<\/strong>. And I found it does not work very well, at least for now.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why, it is good to <strong>use a physical keyboard<\/strong> and use its navigation keys to navigate through windows, options, directories, etc. or choose a file or folder.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ref-block ref-block--post\" id=\"ref-post-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/apps-switch-control-pc-android\/\" class=\"ref-block__link\" title=\"Read More: 10 Apps to Connect Computer to Android Devices\" rel=\"bookmark\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">10 Apps to Connect Computer to Android Devices<\/span><\/a>\n<div class=\"ref-block__thumbnail img-thumb img-thumb--jumbo\" data-img='{ \"src\" : \"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/apps-switch-control-pc-android.jpg\" }'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n<style>.no-js #ref-block-post-19421 .ref-block__thumbnail { background-image: url(\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/apps-switch-control-pc-android.jpg\"); }<\/style>\n<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ref-block__summary\">\n<h4 class=\"ref-title\">10 Apps to Connect Computer to Android Devices<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ref-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWhen you're a vivid smartphone user, you may need to connect your device to your PC or Mac....\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Read more<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>That\u2019s all about using Wine on Android<\/h2>\n<p>Hope you are successful at installing and running Windows apps on Android using Wine.
