Development testers for Anbox
-
By the way, is all this fiddling with anbox has the goal of eventually making it a click package ? Or at least a dedicated installer, sth available in the openstore ? Or are we stuck with adb and reboots ? Thanks for the work, love you all
-
@Emphrath it cannot be just a click package, as it needs kernel modifications and elevated priviledges for installation. Because we cannot provide them currently for all supported devices, there is no end in sight of manual steps for the time being. Sorry!
-
@Flohack Well, once the kernel side can be stable and not cause issues without anbox container installed, then it at least can be included in the images by default.
Once the container side is stable/usable enough, and doesn't kill battery and such, then probably the bits for installing and setting up anbox could also be included in the image, like how we have libertine.
But indeed, for now, anbox is not a priority, as there are many other things that need fixed in the system first.

I want to install anbox in nexus 5 and it gives me problems. How can I install it?

@moid and @ricardo65
All info should be here in this thread and https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/dailyuse/anbox.htmlWhat exactly is not working for you? What did you try already? What's your general setup?

I have tried to install following the instructions that you have put in the link and I get that the ubports repositories are temporarily blocked and I can't install it.

corfirmado, in RC works perfectly the wifi with anbox installed.

Not sure if it was you, but here is a fresh issue about the WiFi problem: https://github.com/ubports/anbox/issues/36
I don't have a Nexus 5, so unfortunately no idea
What I know, in devel channel the so-called "edge merge" has happened (https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3293/what-s-this-edge-merge-anyway) and AFAIK it's not on RC yet. Not sure if that is related but it's an abvious difference between the two channels.

@Ingo What command should I use to uninstall anbox? thank you
-
Here is a topic about that question: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2963/uninstall-anbox
If you don't mind some remaining files laying around in /home/phablet you can just re-install UT without wipe. Kernel and rootfs modifications will be gone. The android rootfs plus apps will still be there, though. Not sure if anyone ever wrote instructions how to get rid of all anbox related things.
