WayDroid, what Android apps work well for you ?
-
@stanwood - on /e/ OS it probably shows to Disney as Gigaset GS290, where as on UT it shows as Volla.
Best regards,
Steve Berson -
@totalsonic Correct. Indeed. (In Disney Plus settings, phone ID is "Vollaphone") This is certainly the reason....
-
@libremax Install apkpure store and Install apps from this app easily. To uninstall it you can enter android settings > apps > select the app > uninstall. The process is easy once you have apkpure installed on the device, you can install and uninstall all apps without going through adb. Spotify run well too.

UK Volla phone user here.
Working well
*F-Droid
*Fennec (but not appearing in UT apps list)
*K-9 Mail*FTP Server Free - can access waydroid folders read-only from Ubuntu Touch browser when set to allow anonymous access.
*HL (Hargreaves Lansdown) share dealing app - logon attempts failed. I cancelled as advised and logon then worked fine.
*Atomic Wallet - Easy to use cryptocurrency wallet
*Binance app - cryptocurrency exchange trading app - warns that 'phone is rooted'.
*SafePal wallet - possibly the best cryptocurrency app. Connected to software and hardware wallets successfully. Able to scan QR codes.App Closes immediately
*Hive (Centrica British Gas home controller). There is website access.
*Swissborg - cryptocurrency exchange app
*NHS app (the prescription and medical records app not the covid app). There is website access.
*Starling banking appNot working for other reasons
*Muun - Bitcoin lightning wallet - Displays message that Google Play Services are required for push notification. Cant proceed any further. I sent a bug report. -
@bruswilis I would reccomend the aurora store from fdroid instead. ApkPure has had serious security issues in the past.
-
After being unable to use Muun Wallet due to a Google Play Services dependency, Ive installed BlueWallet and its working fine on the Bitcoin Lightning network and launchable directly from a Ubuntu Touch toolbar button.
So I just wanted to confirm Ubuntu Touch users have the ability to connect to Bitcoin Lightning, Software, and Hardware wallets. Which is a big step forward in usability for me.
For anyone not familiar Lightning allows small retail purchases using Bitcoin at near-zero fees, in a similar way to using GooglePay or PayPal.
Thanks to everyone involved in WayDroid.

@libremax I installed Waydroid through Waydroid helper, but sadly after install and rebooting it wouldnt launch. I am on the Sony Xperia X (F5122). But I am happy that others have apps working already.
I am excited to hear from others what else works under waydroid. -

Xperia X is Halium 7.1; Waydroid requires Halium 9 or up.

@moem ooooooooooooooooh. Okay cool thank you for that. Now it all makes sense.

their is a native OpenFoodFacts apps https://open-store.io/app/openfoodfacts.ubuntouch-fr and the maintener is also asking if changed are needed https://github.com/openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-ubuntu/issues/37
-
@kazord Sorry, but I'm not sure to follow how a native app is related to waydroid?
-
@treebeard The latest version of the 'Hive' (Centrica British Gas home controller) app is working now on OTA-22 on my Volla.
-
I'm using Pixel 3a
Apps that work:
- Aurora Store
- F-Droid
- Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (a little bit slow)
- Mi Home
- Smart Life - Smart Living
- Private Location
Running with problem
- Shopee Indonesia : apps working but can't login because I can't type non alphanumeric in password field, can't copy paste either. Tried login by phone number but can't slide the captcha image.
- Garena AOV : apps running but cropped a few pixels on left & right screen, only black portion showed on left & right, but still responding to touch where there are supposed to be a button on the cropped part
Not working
- Firefox Browser : cant browse anything
-
@treebeard The latest version of the UK NHS (prescription ordering and medical records) app is now working on my Volla phone. Previously it would display a blank white page after logging in. It still does that but after 30 seconds it displays the page correctly and is usable so possibly it was already working in previous versions and I was being too hasty.
i compared this with the app behaviour on 'real' Android, and the same page is blank for around 10 seconds before displaying, so there's a bit of a design failing in the app not giving feedback while it retrieves user data, combined with this being quite a slow process in Waydroid, which is odd as Waydroid is generally very responsive on my Volla.
That's all my 'essential' apps now working well. Thanks again to the Waydroid Devs.
