waydroid update

@mihael I see there is a new update for Waydroid today.

mihael · 28 Oct 2023, 08:06

@TheBird Thank you. It still shows in mine "Unknown".

@mihael go to settings in Waydroid - about phone ( al the way to the buttom) - Android version 11

Then you should be able to see the installed version with date. Mine is showing 18.1-20231027- VANILLA-waydroid_arm64

There is also a line that shows the Android-security updates with the date 6 october.

@TheBird I have LineageOS version 18.1-20231020-VANILLA-waydroid_arm64 and Android security update October 6, 2023 - so maybe that is why it doesn't (yet) trigger the updater?

TheBird · 28 Oct 2023, 12:38

@mihael no it should update I think, but I am not sure. Your date is lower so it is behind. On the other hand, the date off the security update is the same. It looks like the updater does not work? It can not recognise the date of the latest installed update. So that is why is shows 'unknown'?

You could try updating your way with sudo waydroid upgrade and see if the date of the last installed version changes to mine

@TheBird Also in Settings, under Android version, at Vendor security patch level it also says "Unknown" - I don't know if that matters.

I could try an update from ubports terminal - so from outside waydroid, what do you think?

TheBird · 28 Oct 2023, 12:59

@mihael I am not sure but I would try that if I was you. It can not do any harm. You tried it before.

mihael · 28 Oct 2023, 13:13

@TheBird I did the upgrade from ubports terminal. Everything is the same with the only difference of LineageOS being the today's version.

TheBird · 28 Oct 2023, 13:19

@mihael I will post a new message when there is another upgrade so we can check the security update date

TheBird · 4 Nov 2023, 07:44

@mihael New update. What changes after the update:

buildnumber: 62 test-keys -> 63 test-keys
build-date; today's date
LineageOS-version: 18.1-20231103-V...
Vendor security patch level under Android version like you metioned also unknown here
Android security update still on 6 october

mihael · 4 Nov 2023, 17:34

@TheBird The same "Unknown" inside waydroid. I did the update from Ubuntu Touch terminal. Then, inside waydroid, it still remained "Unknown".

TheBird · 4 Nov 2023, 17:54

@mihael But it got updated?

Maybe the update funtionality broke because you used the terminal way of updating in the first place?

Try a reinstall off Waydroid?
Try looking in the logging app?

mihael · 4 Nov 2023, 17:55

@TheBird Yes, it did update.
