@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.
@yoni said in clock reset on reboot:
Phones don't have room for a CMOS battery,
Hadn't thought about that, but that makes a lot of sense. Yet another area where phones differ from laptop/desktops.
@nasyek hi, this is a very old thread. You might be better served opening a new thread, as your issue seems to be different to the OP's. (We can't really know for sure, as the OP never got back to this thread)
A good behaviour I try to follow is to never directly remove an app. First I use UTTT to clean cache, config and data folders. Then I remove the app. This prevent your system to cumulate old folders. If someone have more tips that would be great
@keneda Thanks for that. Since my last message I have another log for comparison from just a moment ago when Contacts opened normally. Unfortunately Pastebin is bombarding me with cookies and advertisements that are difficult to eliminate so I refuse to use it. I'll look for another way to present the logs.
@levone1 I'm almost sold on the idea. Surprisingly there are no secondhand models for sale on Ebay in the UK, and only two new from either Germany or China. I'll keep looking for secondhand.
@lsitongia Dev gets daily updates so you are well past OTA-20. As you suggest the OTA update is only a matter for the stable channel really. RC gets it as part of the weekly update schedule the week before. This is where the final testing is done.
I am considering this issue resolved. I did a full new clean install, overwriting data, using 8.9 installer. The installer errored 2 times but after selecting ignore it finished and everything so far looks like it is working as it should. The somewhat clean re-install seems to have resolved the issue.
Hi @emphrath
I think that's a known issue, but I didn't search for it.
I bet the fix should be on the Gallery app.
The Gallery app shall scan for new pictures when opened via the Content Hub instead of just when the app is launched.
That is a good issue to start with if someone is interested to give some love to the Gallery app.
My waydroid init was interrupted, so i did these
apt remove waydroid
apt purge waydroid
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/waydroid /home/.waydroid ~/waydroid ~/.share/waydroid ~/.local/share/applications/*aydroid* ~/.local/share/waydroid
reboot phone and start the installation process again. My /var/lib/waydroid folder was not removed but re-installation worked fine !

You might want to stop the service before uninstalling too...check the original post.
@somannak This is knows issue in Anbox. Best way to fix is simply to pull down the scopes (app list) to refresh the screen. This will remove the duplicate apps.
However, note that Anbox is not maintained anymore and doesn't run well...
I strongly advise you to install WayDroid instead, (www.waydro.id) at least if your device is ported to Halium 9 or higher.
@migue5862 Seems like it is a reporting error of some sort. The issue I have seen needed the logs to be phsically reset fromm the terminal so yours seems different to that. Good idea on keeping an eye on for now. If you feel this is down to the device we can move it. For now let's leave it where it is.
@anonymoustly
If it doesn't work with Morph than it needs a dedicated app.
Maybe one can come up with something based on a webapp, but I guess Amazon didn't plan their service with Ubuntu Touch in mind...
@anonymoustly
Great, I'm glad you found your issue fixed.
Can you mark this thread as such ?

Thanks.
@keneda thanks heaps. Yeap reflashed and can confirm waydroid working well, so well I'm posting using a browser from waydroid
Couldn't find a clean way to remove and box without re-flashing.
@elhombrefeliz Thanks for the post. I have tried this on my Nexus 7 (2013) flo and am getting a "VPN Connection Failed The VPN connection --- failed because..." but it is impossible to see what comes after "because..." I have no experience with OpenVPN. I have followed your post to the letter, except of course using a different Mullvad server. I have noticed that my "m" for the password does not remain after editing. Ubuntu Touch build OTA-19.
Hi @swisskoala
Yes this is a very old thread.
It's better if you create a new one in the dedicated Meizu category.
You can refer to this thread so people know what you're refering to.
Also specify what is your initial issue as updating the modem might not have been the right move to begin with...
