@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. https://forums.ubports.com/topic/5907/open-ubuntu-touch-to-all-android-applications/114

@chrisewcs Same issue on Volla Phone, OTA-21 stable. According to a few identical user feedback, I just opened an issue on Github: https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1915 Also edited the main installation guide here: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/5907/open-ubuntu-touch-to-all-android-applications/115

@stanwood 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

On my OnePlus 5T, I can now install Waydroid using the Waydroid helper app and it seems to work fine. Thanks for making this happen @Flohack , I will now start messing with it to see what Waydroid already can do on this device

As of todays Devel update the OP5/5t can now also be added to the list thanks to @flohack for the kernal patches.

I don't think Nexus 5 is capable of running Waydroid. It needs a port that is based on Halium 9 or 10 to run.

@migue5862 Waydroid doesn't work with anything under Halium 9 (the abstraction layer that talks to the android bits of your phone) and given your error, my guess is you're stuck with anbox. Check your phone under settings/ about /os- in device version description u should see sth like that "userdebug-9.1.". If it's 5 or 7, anbox is the way, unless there's a halium-dev channel for your device that runs halium 9. Anbox is not supported anymore, but it's still able to run a few things. You better be command-line savvy though, because it's a pain to install, manage and uninstall.

@ruditimmer Can't find that one. Anyway, thanks! I'll mark this solved.

@saveurlinux hum, maybe I'm wrong. I cas see that application folder have changed, maybe it is the reason ? it use to be for exemple with firefox: org.mozilla.firefox.desktop and now it is: waydroid.org.mozilla.firefox.desktop

@aarontheissueguy Ok thanks i will test it EDIT: Wow nice work !!!
