Development testers for Anbox

Hi, any idea how to uninstall single apps? I just messed up my anbox by installing a "Booking.com" app and now I want to just delete it because it goes crazy. Thank you

@stefano Whatsapp and Viber work for me...

Stefano · 23 Sept 2018, 18:55

@mihael That's interesting. Have you tried Chrome, Chromium or any other Browser? It just hangs here.

Stefano · 23 Sept 2018, 18:57

@malditobastardo install Root Uninnstaller app and then its easy.

@malditobastardo You can do this also when you do this:

adb shell
sudo mount -o rw,remount /
sudo apt update
sudo apt install android-tools-adb
anbox-tool app-list
this is a example of the app-list installed apps on your device:
Aftershock (com.asvcorp.aftershock)
adb uninstall com.asvcorp.aftershock

@stefano Chrome doesn't work. Opera mini neither...

So how would one uninstall anbox completely?

joe · 24 Sept 2018, 00:45

Not sure if a bug or not, but when I run:

sudo lxc-console -ndefault -P /home/phablet/anbox-data/containers -t0

The out put is:
https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/bxDsZ4Qv3z/

And it keeps looping over and over...

Stefano · 24 Sept 2018, 01:13

@joe sudo apt remove anbox-tool
sudo apt purge anbox-tool
???
Flash it over with Ubports installer without wipe?

@xray2000 Thank you a lot, this worked perfectly

@Stefano thanks for your tip I will try it next time

Hi
i'm having a play around with my pro 5 and trying to install Anbox to see what works etc
for some reason it seems to have got stuck on the install at his point and keep getting this reply :

"sudo fastboot flash boot anbox-boot-turbo.img
[sudo] password for ****:
sudo: fastboot: command not found"

am i doing something wrong here ?

thanks
p.s i'm fairly new to all this and am using terminal on linux mint if that has any bearing on things ?

Stefano · 24 Sept 2018, 13:24

@zx81 Fastboot is not installed on your PC.
Install (on 16.04 ) sudo apt install phablet-tools
Or on (18.04) sudo apt install fastboot

Then, You should type:
sudo fastboot flash bootimg anbox-boot-turbo-test.img

zx81 · 24 Sept 2018, 13:36

Thanks
i'll give it a try

zx81 · 24 Sept 2018, 13:49

@stefano Sorry to be a pest

i'm getting this now : "$ sudo fastboot flash boot anbox-boot-turbo.img
< waiting for any device >
target didn't report max-download-size
sending 'boot' (20748 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.660s]
writing 'boot'...

Stefano · 24 Sept 2018, 14:07

@zx81 ''bootimg'' not boot !!!

Stefano · 24 Sept 2018, 18:29

@zx81 have you managed to flash it?

te-online · 24 Sept 2018, 18:49

@mariogrip Great work! One question, though: How would I evaluate if something is an issue with anbox itself or with the image?

zx81 · 24 Sept 2018, 21:34

@stefano I have tried several times and got no further
It now says something about not having a sandbox installed

Have had to go to work now (work always gets in the way lol) so will have another go tomorrow

Thanks for your help so far

Stefano · 25 Sept 2018, 01:56

@zx81 Yeah, I had that message there as well.
It should be ok, though.
Refresh your Home screen (apps scope ) by dragging down and the Android apps should appear on the screen, or reboot.
You can also verify if its installed by typing in terminal on your phone:

anbox-tool status

zx81 · 25 Sept 2018, 15:40

@stefano Nothing showing at the minute , just going through process again
