Anbox issue/questions
-
@nontrivial You do not need to flash the kernel. Anbox is already built in. Just do everything after that.
I would suggest a complete re-install of ubuntu touch. Then follow the procedures after the kernel part. Anbox will install and wifi will work. It does on mine.

According to the other thread, it's only built in if you choose the devel channel, and I was running on stable. As I suggested in the other thread it would probably cut down on posts like this if somebody that knew the complete answer would update the official UBPorts page on Anbox. If I get one I'll submit a change myself but I would hate to submit the wrong information.
Also, I have run into a second problem after reflashing to devel as documented in the other thread. Basically Anbox throws an "start: Unknown job: anbox-session" error and won't run.

@nontrivial I'm on stable. I'd switch from dev to stable, update, or just do a complete re-install then try again without the special kernel.

@nontrivial I am on stable too, and Wifi working in Nexus 5 with Anbox. Did you follow the same steps as in the video in the other post? I did that (just changing devel to stable) and it worked out of the box.

How do you guys know if you are on dev or stable??
Which instruction to follow, then? I want Anbox on my Nexus 5 too. -
@Rebecca58 I usually go to Settings > Updates > Update settings (at the bottom), and there you will see the information.
Related to the instructions to follow, I will refer again to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOfVTp1XtX4&feature=youtu.be

Yes, those are the instructions I followed, and it just never completed the "anbox-tool install" step. The only think I can think of is that I might have ran "sudo anbox-tool install" by mistake. However I completely wiped my phone, reinstalled, and it worked the second time. So other than having to completely set my phone up again and reinstall all my apps, I guess it's a solution.

@thrill_seeker I am on stable. Thanks!! Can I have anbox, then?
-
@Rebecca58 Yes, just follow the second set of instructions in the green boxes. No need for the first part.

@Rebecca58 Yes, you can! As I said, I have it on mine

So cool! However it seems really hard to install, and I even read that some people had troubles afterwards and had to restore the whole UT until they reinstalled Anbox. I don't really want to have to do that.
