      @cr9c Only 'waydroid session stop' is necessary. You need to keep the container started to launch waydroid again via menu icon.

      You can create a desktop launcher to stop waydroid session.
      e.g.:
      /home/phablet/.local/share/applications/waydroid-stop.desktop

      [Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Waydroid Stop
Exec=waydroid session stop
Icon=/usr/lib/waydroid/data/AppIcon.png

      You can create a script to additionally remove some android icons.
      e.g.
      /home/phablet/waydroid-stop.sh

      #!/bin/bash

waydroid session stop
rm .local/share/applications/com.android*
rm .local/share/applications/org.lineageos*

      and make it executable:

      chmod +x /home/phablet/waydroid-stop.sh

      In that case the launcher should look like this:

      [Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=Waydroid Stop
Exec=/home/phablet/waydroid-stop.sh
Icon=/usr/lib/waydroid/data/AppIcon.png

        Thank's for that, good idea I didn't think about ;o)

        ...

        However I don't understand this about removing Android Icons ?! Is there's any link with the way to stop Waydroid ?
        In what way is it useful ? Could you tel me why you wrote this ?

        Thank's anyway.

          @cr9c said in Waydroid ... how to shut it down ?:

          If you don't want to have android icons in UT menu when waydroid is not running.

              BTW. waydroid desktop files are perfixed with "waydroid" in current versions, like this:
              waydroid.org.fdroid.fdroid.desktop

              So (re)moving .local/share/applications/waydroid.*should be enough.

              (Would be nice, if there were some filter in the app drawer, then we could just filter by the desktop file prefix ;-))

                Hi @luksus ,

                And If I want to keep only one or two icons from this family "waydroid.*"
                how should I proceed in the following script ... (In fact I'd like to make an exception ;o))

                #!/bin/bash

waydroid session stop
rm .local/share/applications/waydroid.*

                  @cr9c I don't know. 😉

                  And I have the impression, that the desktop files, gets readded, when restarting waydroid, or when re-inititalizing... I am not sure. But it is not very comfortable to always move them away again...

                    @cr9c hi, you have to mount the fike system writable to do this, right?

                      @luksus You can make icons hidden and the are not comming back add last not on my device to do this you can do following:

                      Hide launchers
                      If you want to keep the .desktop files but hide the launchers, add “NoDisplay=true” to those you dont want to see. The following hides all Waydroid launchers:

                      for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid*desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

                      Remove launchers for redundant apps:

                      #Calculator
                      for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.calculator2.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

                      Camera

                      for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.camera2.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

                      Contacts

                      for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.contacts.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

                      Email

                      for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.email.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

                      Clocks

                      for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.deskclock.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

                      Dailer

                      for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.google.android.dialer.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

                      Files

                      for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.documentsui.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

                      Gallery

                      for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.gallery3d.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

                      Music

                      for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.org.lineageos.eleven.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

                      Browser

                      for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.org.lineageos.jelly.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

                      Recorder

                      for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.org.lineageos.recorder.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

                      Calendar

                      for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.org.lineageos.etar.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done

                          @aarontheissueguy Just spoke with Xray right now, so open terminal and type:

                          sudo -s
sudo mount -o remount,rw /
for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.calculator2.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done
for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.camera2.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done
for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.contacts.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done
for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.email.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done
for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.deskclock.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done
for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.google.android.dialer.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done
for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.documentsui.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done
for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.com.android.gallery3d.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done
for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.org.lineageos.eleven.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done
for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.org.lineageos.jelly.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done$
for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.org.lineageos.recorder.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done
for i in ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.org.lineageos.etar.desktop; do echo 'NoDisplay=true' >> $i; done
clear
reboot

                          But not tested from my side!!!! Maybe test one of these commands and check if file is not shown anymore in your launcher. (don't forget to reboot device first)

                              @xray2000 Thanks everything except contacts is gone. I think I will write an helper app to make that things discussed in this thread easier for the average user.

                                    @stanwood I wrote a small app to make this process easier. It shows you all the apps that waydroid installed and lets you hide it by swiping from left to right and show it again by swiping in the other direction.

                                    photo_2021-11-21_16-26-07.jpg

                                    make sure to reload the appdrawer after any changes. That means scroll up all the way and swipe down. The changes should have taken effect now.

                                    This is very much bodged together but I plan to add more functionality and add it to the openstore eventually.

                                      Why not publishing your app on the Openstore ?
