Anyone tried bitlocker on Android phone using a Windows 11 VM?
Was away from home and needed a file on my usb bitlocker drive.... only had Galaxy S22 with me.
My brief read says it is possible to run Win 11 VM on Android 13.

My first ever AM radio network connection was with a 1MHz AM crystal(OA91) radio receiver.

Not possible. As far as I'm aware, Samsung haven't enabled pKVM in their kernels, so you won't be able to run this (unless you root your device and load a custom kernel with pKVM compiled).

Even if you did manage to get this working, I'm not sure if it would be possible to mount an external USB drive with direct access, I haven't heard of anyone attempting this yet.

Another option potentially could be to install a Linux distro in a proot via Termux, mount your USB drive and use dislocker to unlock it. I haven't tried it myself, but lapdock.sh claims to be able to mount external storage without needing root, and supposedly also works on Samsung devices. Worth giving it a shot I reckon, but realistically speaking, I doubt it'll be able to unlock your drive it as would need direct access to mount it correctly. It may be possible if you've got root though, but you'll also need to switch from a proot to a chroot Linux install, so you can't use this script.

Practically speaking, if you haven't got experience with any of this, don't waste your time - just get a mini Windows PC, like a GPD Pocket or this thing.

I don't think this is possible for you.

But you have suscsefuly managed to get me to spend the past 3 hours of my life trying to get this working.

I have so far rooted my 6a again, got linux running in a vm.

Now i guess i need to get qemu running on android and get it to output to a vnc server so i can connect.

If i can get it working this will suck.

You should move away from Bitlocker if you want portability. Use something like the DatAshur Pro C
