My son's company, is getting me a Samsung S2O FE (Fan Edition) , while I do some part time work for them. Any suggestions on a GUI? I am most interested in running Stockfish and particularly my SF clones (the Honey engines) . What is the best method method to build from source? I am currently living in a Windows 10 Pro environment , but I have access to macOS and a Windows Ubuntu 20.04 environment.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Samsung S20 FE /Chess GUI/Compiling Help/Question
The best GUI for android is DroidFish : All configurable UCI options (can be seen and changed). You can tune hash table, opening books (internal, polyglot, CTG and ABK accepted). All you can imagine in clock parameters. PGN , FEN / EPD export and import. SF engine is updated regularly (September 28 Android compilation with embedded net at this time)...MikeB wrote: ↑Thu Oct 08, 2020 12:59 am My son's company, is getting me a Samsung S2O FE (Fan Edition) , while I do some part time work for them.

Droidfish. Have been using it for almost 10 years. Never needed anything else.MikeB wrote: ↑Thu Oct 08, 2020 12:59 am My son's company, is getting me a Samsung S2O FE (Fan Edition) , while I do some part time work for them. Any suggestions on a GUI?

It's written by the author of Texel, by the way. (Which is a great engine with a good level implementation. On sub-50 levels, even total beginners who just know the rules and a few mating patterns can have a chance of beating it, assuming they don't give away their pieces.)
edit:
LOL. All together now: Droidfish, droidfish, drooooooid-FISH!

Ok -Driodfish - now to the actual compilation steps - say a SF clone like Honey - does anyone have a link for compiling Stockfish for the Android. I should be able to piggyback off that process.

Re: Samsung S20 FE /Chess GUI/Compiling Help/Question
this is a digitally signed apk good for 50 years ;>) - should be exact same version of droidfish on Google Play (1.84) - but if you would like to help me out and kick the tires, that would be great - obviously, the endgame is to get Honey, Black-Diamond , Oki Maguro and Weakfish up and running on Google play in the droidfish gui - it works on my new Samsung phone..
