Waydroid won't start, says waydroid init requires root access...
-
Hello UT friends,
New to Waydroid and a bit stuck. When I try to run "waydroid init", I get an error stating that "init needs root access".
What I've done so far. From Open Store, installed Waydroid Helper, clicked install. Seemed to go well. I see the Waydroid icon as an installed app. However, when I click Waydroid app, the phone shows what seems to be the startup screen (Ubports ... 5 dots... it blinks through 2 times). I have to key in my phone unlock code. (seems that trying to start Waydroid looks like it reboots or restarts phone?).
However, no Waydroid. From Terminal, when I type "waydroid init" I get an error saying that "init requires root access". I tried the commands from the main Waydroid thread, but still not working.
https://forums.ubports.com/topic/5907/open-ubuntu-touch-to-all-android-applications/115I've uninstalled from Waydroid helper and tried to reinstall, but same issues, same error. Any thoughts? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
(Running OnePlus Nord N10 5g, Ubuntu Touch 24.04.2.x)
Cheers, Leroy

Hello
any reason you run bleeding edge (24.04.2.x) ? It's more aimed at developers, unless you have a specific reason (VOLTE comes to mind) you may have better luck with a stable version. Not sure if your device has been updated for VOLTE but if it has, try stable instead.
