      Hi.

      I would only want to use Android for specific reasons [banking apps are the only things that come to mind]. For 99% of things I'd use UT. Are there potential issues with this setup?

      Or am I best to just get some cheap Android phone and just use that for those specific cases mentioned earlier?

      Thanks.

        @Opolork Dual booting is not supported. So if you do need Android, and Waydroid can't fill that gap for you, then yes... having an (old) Android phone somewhere might be the easiest way out.

        Is currently using an Op5t
        Also owns an Op1, a BQ E4.5 and an Xperia X, as well as a BQ tablet and a Pinetab2. Please, someone... make it stop.

          Hi @Moem. From what I've seen, Waydroid seems very haphazard still. Yes, the other option seems the better choice for now. Thank you.

            @Opolork Dual boot is possible on vollaphone, it's a feature provided by the manufacturer.

                @Opolork More old but less expensive, dual boot on Volla 22.
