        @joe I agree. I would like to draw everyone's attention to this issue, and as I say, we need a way to start from fresh with Anbox without having to reinstall Ubuntu Touch. This is especially important for when Anbox is entirely stable and becomes a part of the system image for a future UT OTA.

        https://github.com/ubports/anbox/issues/24

        Sister issue regarding the importance of being warned or even blocked from installing problematic apps, as desktop snap-based Anbox implementations already do:

        https://github.com/ubports/anbox/issues/25

        I'm also wondering if Anbox can be destabilised if users try to install APKs beyond a certain storage level? Like, if we install several apps which are each ~100MB, and this is from a starting point of say 1.5GB free storage space left, is there a point at which things start to break? And I mean before running to to 0MB left.

          @gb I had to enlarge the system partition on my Nexus 5 to install everything, if I remember correctly. Maybe that's your issue? I think I followed this script https://github.com/plasma-mobile/plasma-phone-dev-setup/blob/master/usr/bin/resize-root-partition with minor adjustments, but caution I don't remember since it's been a while – do it on your own risk πŸ˜‰

            @padraic said in Development testers for Anbox:

            anyone successfully get frieza working? I tried but am told that

            phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ anbox-tool install
            Anbox kernel is not installed! Please flash this first!
            

            Pretty sure I went through the procedures correctly but maybe I missed something. If I don't hear back from anyone I'll try again in a couple of days and open an issue if it still doesn't work.

            I have the same problem

              Hi,

              IΒ΄m testing it in M10 FHD (frieza).
              I just installed ubports from scratch (16.04 dev) and try the instructions post by Marius.

              Doing "sudo apt-get upgrade", IΒ΄m facing:
              "E: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/."

              How can this be possible? I just installed the system and there is no space left?
              Do I have to install the hole thing into a Libertine container?

              You can try (it has helped me):

              sudo mount -o rw,remount /

              sudo rm -r /var/cache/apt

              sudo tune2fs -m 0 /dev/loop0

              sudo apt update

              sudo apt install anbox-ubuntu-touch

              sudo rm -r /var/cache/apt

              sudo mount -o r,remount /

                @pawlinski I'm having the same issue. Installation was successful after cleaning the cache several times. but when I try to install anbox-tools I get the same error as @padraic .

                phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ anbox-tool status
                Kernel: NOT OK
                System: NOT FOUND
                Enabled: NO
                Running: NO

                  @honigwald What does sudo anbox-tool status say? On my Nexus 5, sudo vs no sudo shows different status.

                    Until now, I've resized /dev/loop0 to 3GB and reinstalled everything without success.

                    Btw.: I'm using BQ M10 FHD

                        Just tried anbox for the first time on my Fairphone 2. Installed a few apps (pulling APKs from my android device using this description).

                        As expected, my bike sharing app doesn't work as it uses google services.
                        But spotify works πŸ˜‰

                            Hi, has anyone tried to install anbox on a bq M10 HD yet?

                            i have , but anbox-tool is telling me i need to flash the kernel, but i did that?!

                            i followed instructions from here: https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/dailyuse/anbox.html

                            might there be some step missing? or is the anbox-boot-cooler.img not functional?

                              @yougo: Just stating the obvious, but it is a mistake that I made initially when trying anbox on my M10FHD: Did you use the correct name for the boot partition when flashing the boot image (boot instead of bootimg)?

                                Exciting progress. I sucessfully installed Anbox on my FP2. For installing additional apks; I tried to install adb android-tools-adb:

                                phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo apt install android-tools-adb
                                Reading package lists... Done
                                Building dependency tree       
                                Reading state information... Done
                                The following NEW packages will be installed:
                                    android-tools-adb
                                0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 108 not upgraded.
                                Need to get 64.1 kB of archives.
                                After this operation, 152 kB of additional disk space will be used.
                                E: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/.
                                

                                This is confusing, because the system info says, that there is more than 23 GB free space on my FP2.

                                Some idea to resolve this issue?

                                  Using pawlinskis approach from https://forums.ubports.com/post/14023

                                  sudo mount -o rw,remount /
                                  sudo rm -r /var/cache/apt
                                  sudo tune2fs -m 0 /dev/loop0
                                  sudo apt update
                                  sudo apt install android-tools-adb
                                  sudo mount -o ro,remount /

                                  The system image has just 2 GB and the commands above free some of that space. The 23 GB free storage you mentioned is the part of the storage reserved for user data.

                                    @honigwald I have the same problem. BQ Aquaris FHD (frieza).
                                    Flashed the the kernel as shown at docs.ubports.com, but anbox-tool status says:

                                    phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ anbox-tool status
                                    Kernel: NOT OK
                                    System: NOT FOUND
                                    Enabled: NO
                                    Running: NO
                                    

                                    Prior to installing I grew the ubuntu.img / system.img to have enough space for apt on /.
                                    Somehow the kernel does not get installed... Anyone has solved this?

                                    Maybe this is relevant: I bought the Android version of the tablet - then installed UBports UT. Maybe this changes the boot partition / image?

                                        I just used ubports-installer to flash 16.04/rc onto the frieza, then resized the partition, then installed anbox using the doc.ubports.com tutorial. No success 😞
                                        @mariogrip How did you do it?

                                          Hi,
                                          I've tried it on BQ m10 FHD and it does not seem to work.
                                          I've flashed the Kernel and installed anbox-tool but i can't install it, because it says the Kernel isn't installed.

                                          phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ anbox-tool install
                                          Anbox kernel is not installed! Please flash this first!
                                          
                                          phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ anbox-tool status
                                          Kernel: NOT OK
                                          System: NOT FOUND
                                          Enabled: NO
                                          Running: NO
                                          

                                          I tried reflashing it a couple of times, without success.

                                            Can someone point me to the used kernel source for bacon anbox. The one in github seams not to have the "anbox" changes.
