I have ported gpg2 and the password storage manger 'pass' to my Ubuntu
phone BQ E4.5. I'm still working on the pcscd daemon to get the
GnuPG-card working in the phone. The tricky part is that you normally can
not install or compile additional software in the root file system of
the device (because it's mounted for good reasons read-only). You must
setup an additional complete system and chroot to it. If you later want
to run such compiled/installed software from outside the chroot, you
must set LD_IBRARY_PATH (...) so the software can find its stuff, for
example in a small shell wrapper script:

cat gpg2.sh
#!/bin/sh

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/phablet/myRoot/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/home/phablet/myRoot/usr/bin/gpg-agent --homedir /home/phablet/.gnupg \
           --use-standard-socket --daemon \
           --pinentry-program /home/phablet/myRoot/usr/bin/pinentry-curses
/home/phablet/myRoot/usr/bin/gpg-connect-agent /bye
PATH=$PATH:myRoot/usr/bin export PATH
/home/phablet/myRoot/usr/bin/gpg2 $*

This way I have gpg2 and pass working. I can SSH into the phone (or do
the same on the terminal-app) and run: 

$ ssh phablet at ubphone
Welcome to Ubuntu 15.04 (GNU/Linux 3.4.67 armv7l)
