I want to list all files in my phones
/data
volume using QDirStat , or something simular.
On my phone, I've used DiskUsage (com.google.android.diskusage
) before, but I find the visualization lacking.
I want to apply the steps described in this guide with my phone as the remote server:
### Technical details
- OnePlus phone running Android 11
- Root via Magisk
- SSH server with key-files
- GNU/Linux desktop PC
- Working SFTP mount of my phones /
(FS root) on my PC
### Goals
- Create a reading on-device using the QDirStat server script
- Run the script (folder & file indexer) on-device
- Don't index from the PC via an SFTP mount
- The script is headless: it does not contain a GUI
- Index every file & folder in /data
(as root)
- Import the index-dump into QDirStat on my PC
- Analyze the index on PC
- Manually delete some files using Nautilus' SFTP
### Questions
- The script seems to require Perl
- How can Perl be installed on Android?
- If it's installed in Termux, can it index everything?
- What would be the (most-)proper way of doing this be?
- Can I run QDirStat on an ARM arch?
- Will cross-compilation be required?
- Will cross-compiling the Qt framework be required?
- How do I provide the required libs for QDirStat?
