This issue had to do with signalcaptcha not working correctly so I was never verified account (that's why message not delivered). Fix was not use Brave Browser (ad blocking), DNS flush and turn off VPN. Then signalcaptcha worked, properly verified and now it is working. I'll leave this info here just in case others encounter this issue.

@Moem You are welcome, hopefully this can help with your issue

@ma Thank you, I will try that!

@domubpkm thanks

@ma Thanks for your suggestion. Things are working now since downgrading to 24.04.1.x RC. I think the 24.04.2.x version had several things in read-only mode (only guessing from reading the logs that were generated). Even when trying commands as sudo, received similar errors "need root access, read access, etc". Appreciate your input.

@Sentinel Hi All, I'm just now running the install from within the waydroid helper app. Back on the stable OS it shows me that the dowload speed is around 200KB/s, the is about 900MB to download. So yes, a verry slow connection for this app... EJ

@Sentinel said in No GPS access from inside Waydroid: maybe the MIUI version I flashed might have impacted Waydroid's reliability or other things? Yes — this can significantly affect UT. The MIUI image version to use is specified in the installation guide under "2. Check the correct version of MIUI", and it looks like you used the correct one. I can't explain the unusual bugs you've reported. Did you remount the system as read-write and make any changes? Did you use apt (update/upgrade/install)? I'm fine with starting a new discussion thread.

I've updated the "Mount_WaydroidHome.sh" script, so the WaydroidHome folder is writable from Ubuntu Touch (without using sudo): #!/bin/bash ## Set-up commands #mkdir ~/WaydroidHome #chmod 755 ~/WaydroidHome #sudo chmod 777 ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0 ## Bind mount Waydroid's home folder if it's not already mounted, and then ensure it (and all sub-folders) stay read/write-able by the Ubuntu Touch user set -e /usr/bin/findmnt -rno SOURCE,TARGET /home/phablet/WaydroidHome >/dev/null || /usr/bin/mount --bind /home/phablet/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0 /home/phablet/WaydroidHome while /usr/bin/true; do /usr/bin/sleep 5 if [[ ! "$(/usr/bin/stat -c "%a" /home/phablet/WaydroidHome)" == *7 ]]; then /usr/bin/find /home/phablet/WaydroidHome -type d ! -perm -o+rwx -print0 | /usr/bin/xargs -0 -I {} /usr/bin/chmod o+rwx '{}' fi done WARNING: The above scripts work for me, but I haven't tested it thoroughly, or even for that long, and it may contain security flaws. It is (as I said before) just a 'quick hack'. In the spirit of open source, I hope other people will provide improvements to it.

@projectmoon Thanks, you're completely right. It works now.

@fredldotme Nice, though I just logged in to say that I can't test it anytime around. I've lost the phone. It's been a few days so I have no hope getting it back by a chance. I've been thinking in the meantime and decided I'll rather not buy another one anytime soon. I'm still interested in using Ubuntu touch but there are points to address before I'd be happy with it, so I might try to help solving them in VM (or just wait if eventually these got solved...). For now I've set price alerts in my favorite shops, hoping to catch next nice discount

Hi Zaito, so sorry for delay, I have only just logged on in ages. I tested it on GS5 only - installed UT 24.04 because it was the only way to make phonecalls when 3g packed up. Nothing I did enabled Waydroid to persist. Meaning that if waydroid was closed for any reason, you couldn't reboot it without a completely fresh installation. This rectified in June with a new UT update. Everything works well in both UT and Waydroid with one exception; there is no clipboard on waydroid. Which means you cannot copy or paste anything in any circumstances. If I need waydroid copy facilities I have to use another phone running UT20.04. Hope all is well.

@bestenaizena Because you need to "ask a question" before. Then you will be able to mark it solved directly or by choosing a post as the solution.

@O.o. said in Can I change how Waydroid works?: I'm trying to get away from Android, and what I end up doing is running Android in a UT sandbox to get the apps I need going. True, but that's the same whether or not you can see the sandbox. Personally I see Waydroid as a crutch. It's better not to need it, but it's there if you do. And if you only run Waydroid every now and then, as many of us do then most of the time you are effectively not using any kind of Android.

@Vlad-Nirky Hello, thank you for this information. Of course it's stupid for me, but it makes things clear! My two most important apps establish data connections to devices via Bluetooth. It's about solar and LFP batteries I can probably forget that now. Have a nice evening & best regards Charly

@RJDan Same here. As of now I have registered my Waydroid container as a dev device just to get Swedish bankID or Banking apps to work. Never really got MicroG to work

I've installed "Waydroid files" app and Can access the files (runs well under 24.04)
