Running Waydroid fails...

jojumaxx

Volla Phone X23 (20.04 OTA-8 Stable)

I installed Waydroid with the Waydroid Helper App.
When I try to launch Waydroid, I see the Waydroid icon and a circle beneath it spinning forever.

LogViewer says:

Failed to get service waydroidplatform, trying again...

What can I do about that?

@jojumaxx According to the devices page Waydroid does not work to some extent on this device.

Do you mean this list?

Since Waydroid runs on the Quintus, which also is not on the list I was hoping this issue might be a simple one to resolve.

Then the X23 is the only Volla Phone Waydroid doesn't run on.
I'll have to wait then for further support of Halium versions...

Thanks!

@jojumaxx I am assuming the list is up to date. If you have reason to believe otherwise then it might be best to wait for someone else with this device to chime in.

@arubislander No I don't think it's outdated. Probably it's just luck that it works on the Quintus as an unsupported device...
I was just hoping, it's a simple to solve config issue.
But searching the net shows, that hardly anyone solved this due to it probably is a running environment issue and thus simply unsupported, as the list says.

Hi

I sense that you're not talking about the same list.
@arubislander was probably referring to this one: https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/vidofnir/

The "waydroid" feature is shown as: Partial = Working to some extent but with issues

Clicking on this link leads to the actual issue. And it's the same as the Quintus.

But wait, there's more; this issue is not really one, but instead it's a workaround made by Jami in order to setup waydroid on both devices (Volla X23 and Quintus)...

And I hope that this is the answer you were looking for.
