@aarontheissueguy I just installed Waydroid with your Helper on my Pixel 3a and the whole process went smooth without a glitch. Now I'm exploring its features. Thank you for your work on this, it's a great job indeed. Matteo

@aarontheissueguy Thank you very much for your work and dedication. A really useful app, to get Waydroid up and running, without upfront diving into the guts of command line and config files.

I noticed, that with each change of app show / hide a new NoDisplay=true/false line is appended to the corresponding .local/share/applications/waydroid.*.desktop file, instead of changing the existing entry.

Also it would be nice, to show the current NoDisplay=true/false setting in the app.

Eventually the entry note "...update the app list to apply the changes" could be supplemented by e.g. "(pull down and release the launcher)".

@mschmids Thank you for your feedback. There currently is a pull request pending that should fix the issue with appending. The other stuff will have to wait until I find time.

Hey @aarontheissueguy ,
this looks really promising but i am not able to find the app on the OpenStore on my VollaPhone.
Also if i download the .click and open it with the OpenStore app it just shows the dashboard of the store not the app details.
Any idea why this is or how i can install your app?

Alter

@myxor : It should be available in OpenStore app, which is installed by default on your Ubuntu Touch device. I also have a Volla and just checked for you by clicking search. Waydroid helper is there.

@myxor
Did you try to install click with UTTT ?

myxor

It is only visible after switching to RC build. It was not visible on Edge build. No idea why?
I will try it out the next days. Thank you.

Alter

@myxor : I don't know if Edge channel should have Waydroid helper. I figured it would be on all channels, but perhaps I'm wrong about that. Anyway, you found the app by switching channels. Happy exploring!
