@cliffcoggin
We all are it seems 😅

Speak for yourself, I'm not an old man, I'm just the same age as old men. 😊

@lakotaubp Thanks for the info. Unfortunately also no time to look further do guessing a non starter on PP.

@datum Sorry I missed your question, but I did exactly what explained by @Bogotrax and I also tried with the waydroid helper app and it just worked.
Pay attention that not all android apps are working properly. I tried snapchat and it was not starting. I am not using waydroid a lot as I found out I can do already most of what I need from UBPorts apps. I tried successfully Whatsapp and several banking apps but that is mostly it.

@stemy
Maybe bank app needs google services to work, so you should try with the alternate MicroG that spoofs google services.

@saidevlinx1939 The workaround I've found easiest is:

install 'ftp server free' in waydroid (from the f-droid app store) launch 'ftp server free' and tick 'anonymous access' the URL to access the ftp server should be displayed. switch to ubuntu touch, and open the web browser visit the ftp server URL bookmark it for future use click on the file link you want to download to ubuntu touch. It will download as soon as you click on it. go back to waydroid and stop your ftp app.

If you prefer the command line, you should be able to do the reverse of the 'copy to waydroid' command to copy from waydroid:

In waydroid place the file to be copied to UT in the 'Download' folder Open a UT terminal and enter for example:

cd Downloads

sudo cp ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0/Download/myfile.apk myfile.apk

The file should now be in your UT Downloads folder

@keneda
Thank you for your reply.
I tried it also with the download folder from ubuntu touch. It has the same affect. The download folder becomes a new owner and group: 1023:1023 and the host (ubuntu touch) has no write access any more. I can only read the files. But apps in waydroid have read and write access.
I tried it also like explained here:
https://forums.ubports.com/topic/7296/is-a-copy-paste-possible

mkdir -p /home/phablet/WaydroidHome
chown phablet:phablet /home/phablet/WaydroidHome
chmod -R 755 /home/phablet/WaydroidHome
sudo chmod -R 777 ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0
sudo mount --bind ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0 /home/phablet/WaydroidHome

It works, but it works only one time. After reboot i must make all steps again.
Ok, i could make a upstart script for that. For now i installed a samba server on ubuntu touch and have now access to the shared folders in waydroid.

Here is the way to go:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/610513/how-do-i-share-a-directory-between-an-lxc-container-and-the-host

Container specific configuration:
lxc.idmap = u 0 165536 1000
lxc.idmap = g 0 165536 1000
lxc.idmap = u 1000 1000 1
lxc.idmap = g 1000 1000 1
lxc.idmap = u 1001 166536 64535
lxc.idmap = g 1001 166536 64535

But that does work on a standard ubuntu installation, not on ubuntu touch, because there are different uids and gids.

It seems the same happens in the Pinephone with other operating systems, there is an opened issue:
https://github.com/waydroid/waydroid/issues/248

Thanks @chris for the link to the MS page about use of other authenticator apps instead of the MS app.
But from what I understood from our IT department, it's like @dobey wrote and they'll not allow other apps.
Hopefully, there will still be other apps or methods working. Or I'll try MS Authenticator in Waydroid.

@aarontheissueguy
Like ubports installer let you install on any device, even not supported, "at your own risk", there shouldn't be a limitation here one your app, if warnings are clear enough and misclick not possible, only user should be responsible of what he does on his device.

@devbrones
You should forget about anbox.
Waydroid is what you need, read with care, ask questions if needed.

@chrisewcs Same issue on Volla Phone, OTA-21 stable.
According to a few identical user feedback, I just opened an issue on Github:

Hi, thank you, I talked to him and it looks like there is no problem with missing kernel option. I made an issue: https://github.com/waydroid/waydroid/issues/268
