      That is the issue. I do not know how to properly install anbox with the new kernel.
      I've attempted the method you mentioned above but it errors with "bash: adb: command not found" multiple times from which I reckon anbox is not fully preinstalled.

      EDIT: Installing anbox as described in the wiki bricks my OS.

        @LRV Weird, OTA-13 did not change anything concerning Android kernels, that are already installed in the Nexus 5 Ubuntu Touch image.

        However, since Anbox touches the root of the system image, it must be reinstalled after each OTA update:

        sudo mount -o rw,remount /
        sudo apt update
        sudo apt install anbox-ubuntu-touch android-tools-adb
        anbox-tool install
        exit

        Than re-install your .apk apps as described above. It should work.

        EDIT: Do not load Anbox cd-image as it is already charged in the Nexus 5 by default...

            @tgv34 Ok, so you might resize your memory partition dedicated to Anbox as follow:

            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 android-tools-adb
            sudo mount -o ro,remount /
            exit

            It should work fine after this.

              I guess you can also mount /var/cache/apt from the userdata partition.
              This way what is installed is kept after an OTA.
              But I never tried it myself cause I have no need for Anbox.

                  @stanwood Just curious because I didn't install :
                  Have you tested Firefox through Anbox? If yes, is it fully operational: downloading, acceleration...

                    @domubpkm No, I installed Anbox on an experimental basis and tried a few Android apps. But didn't use Firefox as Morph is really fine for me. But I guess you can install Firefox not using Anbox but with Libertines. (easier way)
