Any distro, any version, may be Python 2. But Ubuntu 16.04 and Python 3 preferred. Because with python3 bezier example doesn't work at all. And in both cases Camera example doesn't work on Android (I know about VirtualBox image, but I want it on a real machine).

Does there not work for you: https://kivy.org/docs/installation/installation-linux.html

If not, what happens? What error do you get?

This is log of Bezier on desktop, also tried it on Android - no reaction on touches. Camera app is being successfully installed, but stops after opening.

Using Python 2  - Bezier works, and on Android too (Bezier on Android - sensitivity is very bad, usually without reaction). 
Python 3 bezier desktop - see logs above.
Camera on Android doesn't work - stops after launch.

... I've got camera working - I installed gstreamer and prescribed permissions for camera in buildozer.spec.

Great stuff. Glad you got it working in Python2 at least. It would be ideal if you could create a ticket for that, including your logs:


Please just do search through the existing tickets first to ensure it's not a  duplicate of an already existing one.

Thanks
