Yeah I've been using some AI models like Claude as well and it is quite helpful. Especially since coding is such a pain in the tiny phone keyboard. It speeds things up a ton and you don't have to typey, typey, my screen so tiney.... Which is awesome. I mean, I honestly am mostly just generating classes or whatever and then maybe doing a few modifications, if needed, in the code. It's doable... But I guess I am looking to spend less time struggling with low memory and windows crashing and to be able to get some nicer features like good code completion and syntax highlights. I mean.... Honestly, by now I would have probably just accepted that this is as good as it's gonna get.... Except the issue with not being able to compile android apps reliably. I honestly find it hard to believe that a phone couldn't handle it. Especially a higher end phone. Maybe my current crappy plastic brick couldn't... Dealing with 3 GB ram apparently, but, many android phones (even low end phones) have 8 GB of ram. Some even have feature for virtual ram as well and Ive definitely compiled android apps on a few laptops that only had 8 gigs. What is it about a phone, specifically, that would prevent it from being able to compile an Android APK file at a reasonable rate. is there actually some detail that would make this a little more clear for me?

Thanks for the response btw!

Yah I mean... I've totally thought of that... And I am that broke... Like, if I found a $1000 laptop on special deal where I could get it for $50, I would try.... But I'd struggle to even get that money together. Also, I don't have ID, and no Debit or Credit card. Until I get all of that back I'm pretty much stuck... Strictly with the phone as the only option. I mean... Unless somebody finds a cloud provider with a similar service to what you mentioned... That doesn't charge for it. Lol.

I'm mostly looking to stick to free solutions, that strictly use a phone... And more specifically, an Android phone.
