Albeit with severely outdated packages.

(re: JVM): But why, though? I can understand that you could technically run the same software as on your desktop computer, but you're going to be using different software on a mobile device anyway due to the physical size constraints, which make it impractical at best. I think the most you would get out of it would be to show others "look, it's LibreOffice, running on my phone", but just like playing Doom on your microwave, it's something you do once and then forget about it. Perhaps I'm making too many assumptions, but I'm curious what use you would get out of JVM on a phone.

Are you talking about the Intex Aqua Fish? I think it was obvious from the start that that was to be a very poorly made device with no support from Intex, a company that marketed their phone being used as a compass when the device doesn't even have one. I'm surprised it's even seen any updates at all.
