I'm running Ubuntu Touch r62 on my Nexus 4, and I'm wondering how I can go about installing Tor. I've gone ahead and put my Nexus 4 in write-mode with phablet-config writeable-image and can install packages with apt, however I'm limited by the 2GB root partition (/dev/loop0) and have no space to install substantially sized software.

click seems to install packages outside of the root partition where there is actually space, but I haven't had luck finding a click package for Tor anywhere. I'm also not sure how Tor would work if it were containerised in a click package.

My intention is for a native QML application that I'm building to have access to Tor via a proxy such as Tor SOCKS.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!

For end-useres: At present time we should use Libertine to run usual X- and console applications. If you have not yet Libertine on device then read Ubuntu Wiki about Libertine and, for example, article of Kyle Nitzsche. If Libertine is on device you should create your own container and install firefox and tor package with command like this:

libertine-container-manager install-package --id my-container --package tor

details see in Kyle's article. Then see how to configure and use Tor on Linux.

Additionally, you can see topic how to use Libertine container on SD card.
