anbox halium or waydroid no support for UT?

[FP2andFP3-User]

@stanwood and Format data?

[stanwood]

@fp2andfp3-user Now I'm just looking at https://docs.waydro.id/usage/install-on-desktops

And it seems a complete new way (and easier) to install...

sudo -s
sudo mount -o remount,rw /
apt update
apt install waydroid -y
waydroid init

Then restart device, then:

sudo waydroid container start
waydroid session start

BUT, I asked for a confirmation to the WayDroid Telegram group. I will edit this message if it's wrong...

Edit: It seems correct for UT. BTW, I didn't test it so far...

@stanwood
Don't forget to say system must be made read/write before starting process ^^

Anyway, does that new install process means we don't need anymore a patched kernel to run waydroid ?

[stanwood]

@keneda Indeed, That's what I understood as well.
Needs to be tested though.

Edit: Thank you, I just add sudo mount -o remount,rw / in my previous installation guide

@stanwood it is not running....old New anbox halium was running no errors

[FP2andFP3-User]

@stanwood tried again and no it is starting thanks for your support

[stanwood]

@fp2andfp3-user Great! With the new easy installation way described here above? What device are you using?

[dieharddan]

@stanwood I tried with a pixel 3a and when i start wayland I get
"start: Unknown job: waydroid"

[FP2andFP3-User]

@stanwood yes i did it again and it runs!

@stanwood fyi on fp3 it is also running. Same steps!

[Codenul]

@rocket2nfinity
Getting the same result after running

waydroid init

There is an icon for Waydroid within the launcher. Running on OnePlus One.

[stanwood]

@codenul Did you restart your device and test again?

[Emphrath]

@codenul you can't run waydroid on oneplus one. It's a halium 5 device, halium 7 with the development branch. Waydroid will only run on halium 9+ devices.

[stanwood]

@stanwood For information, an update has been done on the waydro.id website.

I just edit the configuration above according to the website.
Not been tested from my side though....

@dieharddan said in anbox halium or waydroid no support for UT?:

@stanwood I tried with a pixel 3a and when i start wayland I get
"start: Unknown job: waydroid"

I fixed my issue by reinstalling Ubuntu Touch and reinstalling waydroid with the following only:

sudo -s
sudo mount -o remount,rw /
apt update
apt install waydroid
waydroid init

Reboot phone

@emphrath
Interesting. Thanks for the information. I'm currently on the development channel. Is there any other benefits (other than halium 5 > halium 7) that I would gain if I switched over to Halium-development channel for updates?

Hi,

I just installed Waydroid on my FP3+ following what wrote @FP2andFP3-User

sudo -s
sudo mount -o remount,rw /
apt update
apt install waydroid -y
waydroid init
sudo reboot

Everything is OK, I installed F-Droid then also Blabber, it seems everything is fine
Many thants to those who made it possible !

[upportsnoob]

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 !
followed from here: https://github.com/waydroid/docs/blob/master/usage/install-on-desktops.md

You might want to stop the service before uninstalling too...check the original post.
