        @mschmids Hello, thanks for your support! I really appreciate it. Reinstalling sadly also didn't do it. I would install through terminal if sb could point me to a tutorial on it. Again thanks for your input!

          @bogotrax ok guys, it worked through apt install + waydroid init and container start. Didn't do it through libertine, so no clue if this is an appropriate approach. But even wifi works on android so it is something. Thanks guys for support!

            Installing waydroid never needed libertine, those are two very different topics and uses.

                Libertine is "only" a contener for installing standard desktop GNU/L apps that can't run directly on our mobile oriented one, as it is locked on system files for security reasons and its native apps (.click) install in a specific part.

                Only common point with waydroid, liberine is experimental ^^

                  @nodorf ive tried everything you described but after i use helper to download lineage os, the device shuts down and restarts but the waydroid app keeps crashing. The logo pops up but the app is not loading lineage os. Could you help me how you did it exactly.

                    @bogotrax could you help me understand what 'container start' is and how to start it. Because waydroid app starts but displays logo and disappears

                        basically what i did is

                        sudo -s
                        mount -o rw,remount / && apt update && apt install waydroid && waydroid init

                        And then

                        sudo waydroid container start 
                        

                        And followed by

                        sudo waydroid session start
                        

                        Both give a lot of information that look like errors. I am not able to debug this. I came to the conclusion that the waydroid helper needs just endlessly long time till it installs waydroid and then suprised me with a reboot and a working lineage after all my manually installing of waydroid.

                          @datum Sorry I missed your question, but I did exactly what explained by @Bogotrax and I also tried with the waydroid helper app and it just worked.
                          Pay attention that not all android apps are working properly. I tried snapchat and it was not starting. I am not using waydroid a lot as I found out I can do already most of what I need from UBPorts apps. I tried successfully Whatsapp and several banking apps but that is mostly it.
