How to remove all traces of Waydroid?
-
Hello Good People.
Tried in vain to persuade my girlfriend to go over to Linux. Bought a Google Pixel 3a for her. Almost sprained my brain installing UT and gave it to her to try. She just moaned and moaned and moaned about it. The main problem was that she couldn't access her banking and that messenger and whatsapp didn't work. Tried to tell her to ditch facebook completely because of how utterly evil it is but I may as well have tried to persuade my parents not to take the killshot.
So she went back to her iphone and I adopted the Google Pixel 3a XL. I wanted to give waydroid a try just to show her that her apps could work within a linux phone. Some kind soul put a long list of instructions up on this forum and I followed them. Couldn't get waydroid helper to install waydroid (just went round and round for an hour) so I used the terminal and tried to follow the instructions. I wasn't really sure what was happening. I found the instructions very complicated but I got it installed. However, it was laggy, there would be lots of pages open of the same app, and the app drawer filled up with loads of icons I didn't want. In the end I thought to myself 'I don't want to use android. I am perfectly happy with UT. I am researching this so that my girlfriend will hopefully adopt Linux but even if I do figure it all out, she probably will remain unenthusiastic so why am I bothering? In any case, it isn't working right'. With that I decided to reset the phone and start from scratch and just use UT and give it a rest with trying to be a super nerd because it's sucking hours of my life away when I have more important things to attend to'. So I reset the phone from within UT settings. But there is still a 'dead' Waydroid icon in my app drawer. I just can't have that. I want to completely nuke every trace of it off my phone and just use UT as before. I don't mind losing all the data (haven't got any anyway ha ha). Any advice appreciated.

Please keep your opinion on vaccinations to yourself. It's off topic here and frankly I would have preferred not to know.
You can use the installer to reflash UT on the device. That should put it completely back to new.
