        @luke AFAIK you need to get the .apk and then install it via adb.

          @luke Indeed, you need to first install Anbox doing:

          sudo anbox-tool install
          

          Reboot twice.

          Then download your Android apps (ex. WhatsApp) in your download's folder, and install with:

          adb install /home/phablet/Downloads/WhatsApp.apk

            @stanwood Thanks a lot for your help, but ... what about Google services?

              @luke No Google services available now.
              You have to install and update manually your APK apps.
              There's a wip on anbox to much improve it, that is running, if you wish to participate: https://gofund.me/acb31504

                @stanwood Edit: It seems that there's a packet updater that works on Anbox (didn't tried it yet):

                    @siwuarek If the kernel is enabled and you are on devel channel, simply run anbox-tool install in the terminal.

                        @siwuarek That means Anbox is not yet integrated to the device image.

                        You can install it manually following Rudi's webpage:
