      @arubislander I’m using a Nexus 5, where I installed Anbox via apt successfully, so I think that the firmware of the device is not the issue, but honestly, I have no idea. Any ideas of something I might be missing in the build process, or something that needs configuring on the device?

        @gimait You do know there is already an Anbox build for Nexus 5? Just follow the following instruction minus the first green box. No need to flash the kernel. It's pre-built in the Nexus 5.

          @gimait I have never tried building Anbox for Ubuntu Touch myself, so I cannot offer any guidance there...
          But @rocket2nfinity confirms that no special kernel is needed.

            @rocket2nfinity Thank you, that’s the way I installed anbox originally, and that is fine. I’m happy to hear that there is no need for kernel patches.
            Do you have any ideas of how to build the code from source and test it on the device? I have no problems with the current anbox version (apart from several bugs that need taking care of to make it usable), but I’m trying to doing some development, that could become a good contribution to both anbox and ubports. Has someone tried this?

              @gimait @Flohack does. But he's on vacation right now. If you want faster help, the Anbox development thread has compiling instructions and more knowledgeable people than I.

              Help on Anbox would be wonderful and is greatly needed.

                @rocket2nfinity thank you for letting me know, I’ll try to reach him, I’m sure he can get me started πŸ™‚ In the meantime I’ll continue digging, and maybe follow your suggestion and asking in some thread in anbox. thanks!

                    Pinging @Flohack again as the last Q&A blogpost specifically says We are still waiting on developers with the necessary skill set to step forward. Unusually, we are even able to offer payment for core work on Anbox. Just get in touch with Florian.

                        @Flohack It's not me but @gimait who compiled Anbox locally but can't make it run on his phone. He succeed to run the Anbox provided by UBPorts though.
