Portable apps on an android

[pengyou]

There are portable apps that will run on a thumb drive with any kind of OS - Windows, Linux, iOS. Is there a portable app that will run on android? I would love to install a portable version of Firefox and a password vault on the mini-sd card in my phone. I know I could just try to install it, but I am afraid that failure might not be an indication that it is not possible

Perhaps I misunderstand your intent, here, but Firefox makes a mobile app for Android; and LastPass is a great password manager that syncs to all platforms. I suppose you could install them from, and save to, external storage: that being an installed microSD card. Keeping apps and the password vault on a jump drive seems like an unnecessary risk: loss or damage of the jump drive renders the apps inoperable. If you are concerned about prying eyes, you could always encrypt the card & its contents.

Those portable apps are only made for Windows operating systems, not for Android....
As The Chief stated, you can only use the apps for Android...

I presume you're referring to this?

That will only run on a Windows PC, and NOT Linux, MacOS, iOS, etc. I did try it myself for a while, but gave up because of viruses and worms on the school Windows PCs.
