            usually when I anbox is not starting, I just restart the ubuntu. It works most of the time. Is there a better way to make anbox run again? Also, for those not doing this, if you are connected to anbox through adb shell and lxc-console you can see debugging msgs of anbox in realtime on your PC. This helps a lot to understand what anbox is doing, since it includes error msgs.

            "does is work in 'other phones'?"

            The only thing specific to each phone, I belive is the modification in the "boot image" to include the requeried kernel modules (for ashmen and binder nodes in /dev). Modifications in the anbox.img are the same for everyone, I believe.

            Hey mario, if you are going to confirm this, are there other modifications to the kernel or the boot img that you do?

                  On Telegram advocatux give me a link that worked to install apps, as Marius told me he need to do more work on the anbox-tool...

                  https://docs.anbox.io/userguide/install_apps.html

                  I have test this and indeed it install the apps.

                    @xray2000 The method I have used to install apps is

                    $ sudo mv $APP ~/anbox-data/data
                    $ sudo lxc-console -ndefault -P /home/phablet/anbox-data/container -t0
                    $ cd data && pm install "app.apk"

                    substitute "app.apk" for the name of the apk you are installing and $APP for it's path outside anbox

                    EDIT: sorry, I miss typed the sudo command.

                        I just tested the new anbox update and yes, both the keyboard and network is working. I even made a whatsapp call to my father, for shits and giggles. It doesn't have sound as expected, but it did connect.


                        this is a screenshot of a msg, but I also made a call with no sound.
                        If we get the sound server working, we would be able to start making whatsapp calls! That would be awesome.
                        Anyway, it is already a great achievement.

                        Also, I noticed that sometimes, if you already have a anbox app window opened, anbox won't open another app

                                I can confirm that the turbo-test img works on the Pro 5. I also installed WhatsApp and it works. I am so very glad and delighted about all this work!!!

                                  anyone successfully get frieza working? I tried but am told that

                                  phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ anbox-tool install
                                  Anbox kernel is not installed! Please flash this first!
                                  

                                  Pretty sure I went through the procedures correctly but maybe I missed something. If I don't hear back from anyone I'll try again in a couple of days and open an issue if it still doesn't work.

                                    On N5 I recognized: Installing System updates seem to cause the reinstallation of the native kernel. This causes a disfunctionallity of anbox and heating of your device (100% CPU). I recommend to disable automatic System updates.

                                          @mihael Fair play to you on getting Anbox apps to work on the Pro5! Any chance you can reveal how you did it? When I try (on turbo/devel), like a previous poster, I'm getting "Anbox is not running" errors and when I type "anbox-tool status", it reads "Running: No" - but the preinstalled apps open and seem fine.

                                          Using the "lxc-console" method either tells me that I don't have "sufficient privileges for default" or if I use "sudo" for the command, I get endless debugging verbiage...

                                            @brywilson Can you give this kernel a try http://cdimage.ubports.com/anbox-images/anbox-boot-turbo-test.img
