        Hello.
        Question and Waydroid Helper test feedback :

        Is the uninstallation of waydroid complete or there are reminiscences somewhere (to be removed manually?) ;

        The important parts should all be removed. (config files, old android images, etc.)

        Observations:
        AFTER uninstalling waydroid, I tested two things:

        • the show/hide apps that ''still works'' although no android apps are shown or hidden ;

        The show/hide feature looks for .desktop files in .local/share/applications and uses the parameter "NoDisplay=True/False" to hide apps from the appdrawer. It seems like uninstalling waydroid is not deleting those files and just hides them and the show/hide feature still recognizes them. This is not a critical issue as it wont affect functionality in any way but we can definitely improve on that in the next update. Thanks for the feedback. You can go to .local/share/applications and manually delete those files if you want to.

        • the uninstallation procedure of waydroid can be restarted and is done again normally....

        This is just trying to "apt purge Waydroid" again. If waydroid is no longer installed, nothing will happen and apt just tells us that waydroid is not installed. This can be use full if users accidentally quit the uninstall too early.

        Is this normal currently and innocuous for both observations ?

        This is nothing to worry about, just minor problems. Thank you for the feedback we will include it in the next update.

        Did the installation go well for you?

          Done

          apt purge Waydroid
          Also did with sudo, i didn't know exactly. Same résult.

          At the end, impossible to find the Waydroid package.

          No problem about the installation on a Volla.

            @domubpkm That is normal if Waydroid is not installed

              Hi everybody, I hope I'm on the right post (and I apologize for my bad english)...

              I m new on ubports, OTA-20 on Xiaomi redmi note 9 S . Waydroid seems to work fine but I don't understand why some UT app doesn't work since Waydroid is install.

              UT browser crash at load now, (even If I remove Waydroid) Axolotl and SMS doesn't start anymore.
              Do I misunderstand something, I believe that I could run android app AND UT app?

              After few test the only way to use morph axolotl etc. is to completly reset (factory wipe?) the phone

              I hope I m clear enough 🙂

                @phiibuntu Maybe someting went bad during the installation?
                You can try reinstalling Ubuntu Touch with UBports installer without wipe your data to get again a functional Ubuntu Touch on your device.

                  @phiibuntu Not sure why this would happen. Reflash UT and try again would be my recommendation.

                      I try it but reflash UT doesn't work (error with ubports installer)
                      Il do again a factory wipe and I try to reinstall waydroid it seems that there's a installation problème I think.
                      The first install stuck to "installing additional fixes" If I close waydroid helper and reinstall waydroid it works (but only lieange os app works no way to use morph-browser etc.).

                      I ll continue to search for a solution.

                        @phiibuntu Also try to change the channel update to RC and install it, then back to stable. I had a similar issue with an old Waydroid version last summer and this solved the problem.

                          Do you mean install from RC and then install again from stable channel?

                          Edit : can't flash my phone (error code 126) in any way. I'll try to use UT without waydroid for now
                          There's no way to flash the phone (unless reinstall mui official rom and then flash to UT) it(s a little bit long 🙂 after 2 days I think Waydroid doesn't works with xiaomi redmi note 9S (I'll try with OTA-21 perhaps).

                              still in an early alpha development stage

                              Given the time already spent on development and despite the many problems still to be solved, is this still the right term?
                              Maybe delete the word 'early'?

                                @domubpkm Development of WayDroid doesn't depend on UBports foundation.
                                Currently it works well on selected devices, but several issues remaining. (for instance GPS in Ubuntu Touch is killed when WayDroid is started).
                                So yes, I assume it's still "early alpha" yet.

                                Thanks to Aaron, there's now an app in the open store called WayDroid helper, which is in very active développent phase, giving tools to better manage WayDroid, for a smoother experience.

                                  @stanwood Im using WayDroid on Samsung Galaxy S10 for a while now. It works just perfectly without any issues.

                                      Just to inform that a Micro-G update is available in F-Droid store.
                                      I could test it successfully, no issue has occurred 😉

                                        @stanwood , I think MI A2 WIFI problem is not only when using Google Apps, I have phone crashing each time when trying to open DuckDuckGo or MS Edge (all works when WIFI disabled an phone is on LTE).
                                        Btw. When going thru list of fully functional devices, I see this is not properly mentioned on https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ (all those have "?" next to Waydroid feature). Would you know where to report it?

                                            @matt73 Will not the WayDroid Helper app not do it with a complete restart after? If not try UT TweakTool to clear cache, user data etc then delete WayDroid.

                                              @lakotaubp Ok, strange how the Waydroid icon remains after a factory reset. I will try what you suggested. If it doesn't work, do you know how I would completely wipe the phone and start again? I have a Google Pixel 3a XL.
