Waydroid will not start

desertmist · 21 Apr 2022, 08:32

Waydroid app stays on the loading screen indefinitely. When I try to start Waydroid via the terminal, this happens:
XDG Session is not "wayland"
Failed to start Clipboard manager service

Any ideas? I have a sony xperia x performance. Is my device incompatible?

That device is not very well supported. If it's similar to Xperia X (Suzu), then it's built on Halium 7.1 and that would indeed mean that Waydroid is not supported. It needs at least Halium 9.

Same problem here. But I do have halium 9 (Pixel 3a). Anyone else with this issue?

@eacelmar I'm having my first day with my new Vollaphone. Waydroid doesn't work, so far. It gets stuck at the start screen. But I'm not sure whether I did everything right. With my Nexus 5 I did never try to install it.

@taiga-woods have you simply tried, to uninstall and reinstall Waydroid, preferably via the Waydroid Helper app?

I seem to recall the same symptom on my Xiaomi Mi A2. After fiddling around with log files, command line and eventually a reinstallation ultimately fixed it.

Waydroid does not run on Nexus 5 legacy port.

@mschmids hi, so far I did not get it to start on the Volla Phone (by using only waydroid helper app). I've tried 3 times install/de-install... Should I try it via terminal instead?
