Yes, but you would need the correct hardware and software to make it work. Would probably be easier if you had a USB OTG connection to a Wi-Fi dongle.
Read a few posts up, this is just to see if it is supported. I already said that I was going to use a usb wifi dongle.
 
Tl;Dr.
So, you would need cross compiled versions of the apps needed and root. I take it you are familiar to the command line?
Im still not sure if it will run the compiled version(will test that soon) And yes,Im fairly familiar with command line. Also, do you think smash hax on andriod is important, because with the release of the pi zero it would only cost $5 and that is about the cost of an OGT cable. I have already made a version of for pi that will run at startup, so that might be more convenient then trying to get it to work with android.
 
So, it looks like it does run on my tablet. That saves me the trouble of having to recompile it. If anyone would like the compiled version make sure that you have the distribution on Debain the Distribution suite on jessie, and the architecture on armhf when using linux deploy. The zip folder comes with a script that was set up for personal use on my Pi, so it will need a bit of tweaking if you want it to work for your self.
I just want to clarify, I have only tested to see if aireplay-ng would launch while using linux deploy. I have NOT tested with my usb OGT adapter, because I still cant find it(ill probably buy a new one that will come in a month). Until someone successfully gets this to work, I would appreciate if you don't go around telling people who are asking for homebrew access on 10.3 to use smashhax on android, because then this thread will get an influx of newbs.

UPDATE: just purchased a USB OGT adapter. Will be coming Dec 30 -Jan 15 so Ill update you then if it works. SOONtm

as i said before, if an Android device uses a broadcomm chipset for wifi then monitor mode can be used if it's rooted and bcmon.apk is installed. then a linux image chrooted in the background using the terminal emulator can be run then it would have to be compiled for chrooted ARM Linux as opposed to x86 Linux. there are already pre-made Linux on Android bundles that require root. and a whole project for it with bootscripts and everything. no custom roms or custom firmware for Android required. as long as you can compile Smashhax for chrooted ARM Linux and get a way to run monitor mode on Android devices, it looks possible to me maybe even probable. monitor mode would require a broadcomm chipset + root + bcmon.apk + chrooted Linux recognizing bcmon monitor mode or USBonthego + a monitor mode capable usb wifi adapter + usb wifi monitor mode drivers compiled for that adapter.
those are the complicated prerequisites for running a compiled version of Smashhax on Android using the Linux on Android method. although I suppose an Android app could be made to work with bcmon.apk on a rooted Android device with a broadcomm chipset but that would require someone willing to actually make it. It's looking possible and probable but it would take a lot of work to set it up. no custom roms or unnecessary changes to the firmware of Android required unless Smashhax can't be crosscompiled for chrooted ARM Linux or ARM Android as an app. question answered. now can we lock this thread already please?
